1) We need a EUROS 2024 thread with the brackets and match dates and such in the opening post or close to it. 

2) Portugal 🇵🇹 v Finland 🇫🇮 (friendly) is on FS1 right now and it is really nice to see Portugal play WITHOUT an aging CR7.

-Portugal is dripping with talent. 
-Even Portugal’s up-and-coming 21 year-old is already adept at playing the Diving Game.
-Finland doesn’t know to play the Diving Game and have been fucked because even when fouled, the ref won’t blow his whistle because they don’t make a meal of it. 
 

EDIT: And just as I post this, Finland finally gets a whistle in the middle of the park, and…

The Finnish striker got a one-on-one break against the keeper and made a beautiful soft chip over the keeper in true Latin American/Mediterranean cheeky style.

Well fucking done, Finland!

Probably should. Currently, Morocco is shellacking the Argies, 2-0, and Spain and Uzbekistan are knotted up at 1-1.

The teams under Javier Mascherano 🇦🇷 have sucked ass for about 2-3 years. 

I don’t know if Mascherano sucks as a manager, they are having a lull in top talent, they have good players who can’t get released by their clubs, or something else. 

Also, African teams frequently crush it at the Olympics. The US boys might no be the front runners for 2nd in the group that they’re being made out to be. 

If the 🇺🇸 boys don’t make it out of the group, it’s like they were never a part of the Olympics, just some rando tournament on France’s Mediterranean coast.

They start before the Olympics, they play twice in Marseilles and once in Nice, they miss the opening ceremonies, their 2nd & 3rd games will be in empty stadiums, they never get to stay in the Olympic Village, and then as soon as it’s over, they have to prep to go back to their teams. 

If they go to Paris after being eliminated, they will just be tourists, they won’t be Olympic athletes.

Kind of a shitty way to participate in the Olympics.
