I think Spain will win but I support the Netherlands because they are liberal on the CTB compared to the rest of the world.Which team will win the tournament in your opinion? I will go with Spain.
Well, Croatia's golden generation has come to an end.Well I'm English and honestly I think Spain will win with ease. Maybe that sounds defeatist, but it speaks volumes that just a few weeks ago lots of people (probably wrongly) wanted Southgate sacked. I think we've been extremely lucky all tournament. We can't score often enough. I genuinely think the only players who'd get into the Spain would be Bellingham, Saka and Kane (Kane is certainly better than Morata imo). Maybe at a push Pickford would be better than Unai Simon.
Rodri, Yamal, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo are incredible though, they really are. I have a Croatian friend and I remember seeing clips of Olmo and wondering how the hell he was at Dinamo Zagreb and not playing in La Liga.
Been a lot of underachieving teams though, France, Italy, Portugal, Croatia and Belgium have all been very poor in comparison to how good they were a few years ago. In fact, I think after this tournament I can't see Croatia and Belgium ever reaching the heights they were at a few years ago. I feel this year the better football has been played by teams like Romania, Georgia and Ukraine (unlucky not to leave group) probably as realistically they have nothing to lose
It's been a weird tournament here, I often go outside and there's no kits, very few flags and can't see any unique offers in stores. I remember as a child in the 2000s, it was insane, everyone would be wearing England shirts, every store would have offers, now it seems far more lowkey than previous years, even more lowkey than 2020.
Time travellerMy guess is 2:1 for Spain. I am also rooting for them despite the fact they threw us out of the tournament. I hope it will be a good match that's the most important thing to me.
