What’s the Over/Under on the ‘Mostly Peaceful Brawls’ that will be breaking out? ;)
I saw a World Cup game a few years back on a major network... ok, I tried, but managed to see the first 30 minutes. It was Iran vs someone. What I saw was the national anthem of each country being played, and the players on those teams put their arms around each other and sing along. Even relatively pampered players from sh*thole countries do this with tears in their eyes and it’s very normal. Only in our woke republic do these abnormal athletes hate the very people and country that gave them so much.
𝗣𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗗! 🔜 Turkey 🆚 Italy
How are you feeling? #TUR #ITA #EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/nXMryn6FjH— UEFA EURO 2020 (@EURO2020) June 11, 2021
After embarrassingly failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, Italy won all 10 of their qualifying matches for Euro 2020 and enter the tournament on a 27-match unbeaten run."We want to go all the way," Bonucci added. "Other national teams have more experience but we can play with anyone. We don't have a (Romelu) Lukaku or a Cristiano Ronaldo. Our strength is the team."
Turkey took four points off France in qualifying, including a 2-0 win over the World Cup winners, and lost only one of their matches to finish second in Group H.
"Being in this tournament and playing in the opening match makes us proud," Turkey coach Senol Gunes said. "In every opening game there are surprises and I hope we can also spring one."
Polska......Biało-Czerwone!
How to watch it: ‘You turn the TV to CBS on Saturday to see a new Racing Series, the SRX. Saturday night the first ever SRX race will be in Stafford with Helio Castroneves, Bill Elliott, Tony Stewart, Willy T. Ribbs, Paul Tracy, and local track legend Doug Coby. My brother and my nephew will be there.
Forza Italia!
Good, we don’t need Turkey in this tournament.
The Italians laid down a marker in the opening fixture of EURO 2020 with their biggest ever win in the competition, but they were forced to bide their time in a frustrating first period. Wasteful finishing and a moment of brilliance from goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır to deny a powerful Giorgio Chiellini header meant it was level at the break.It did not stay that way for long after the restart. Eight minutes into the second half, Domenico Berardi drove into the area and thumped in a low cross of such venom that Merih Demiral could not adjust his body to deflect it clear, instead inadvertently sending it into his own net. The Azzurri were up and running.
I feel like I'm match-fit, I'm ready. I'm sharp, I’m scoring goals, so yes, I'm confident in my levels going into this. Whenever I come away with Wales, everyone sees how happy I am, how passionate I am, and whenever I cross that white line with a Wales shirt on, I’ll always give 100%.
It’s one of the greatest achievements in the world of sport: just how on earth did one of the smaller countries assemble the top-ranked team in the most popular game on the planet?
