I know this technically belongs in the sports forum but as this is first international football (soccer) tournament since the pandemic hit, and the biggest in the world after the World Cup, thought we could all join in the banter here.

First game was last night (European time) - Italy 3 Turkey 3 with Italy showing their championship winning ways in their bounce back from failing to qualify for the World Cup in Russia 2018.

Too soon for predictions over all. Some good games on today including Wales v Switzerland.

@divegeester

I have a question for you which you can answer or not doesn't really matter to me but is worth pointing out.

You don't seem to have time for new clan challenges as you have put yourself on vacation but appear to have lots of time for posting in the General forum even items which should be in the Sports Forum.

All I get from this is lots of time for gabbing, no time for new clan challenges when you are needed the most at this point in time.

I lack nothing and will go toe to toe with anyone and you'll not tell me who either lemon.

I have one foot out the door so I am free to tell the gooster what ever I want, you just sit back like a good boy and watch, make some popcorn for yourself.

For God's sake he has himself on vacation so can't accept anymore challenges when he is most needed, but loads of time to banter in the forums it seems.

Give it rest lemon.

You are really not a match for either of us.

Do you think he should have himself on Vacation so he can't play in tournaments when he is most needed, but lots of time to banter in the forums?

@divegeester

Why do players and fans allow a tie?

Is it so hard to have a shootout or those penalty kicks to decide the game?

It's now the group stage and so a round robin. Draws can be an achievement for an underdog and a significant hole in the road for stronger teams. A tournament is a campaign. In the subsequent knockout stage, every game must end with a winner.
