Community ManagerI thought the Germany-Scotland match was going to be closer but the Highlanders just looked unprepared and Germany had their foot on the gas pedal.
Opening game, Germany just had too many quality players for Scotland to deal with.
It'll be hard on Scotland now, with a red card suspension, to find the points to advance from the group stage.
Serbia vs England
C'mon England! It's coming home!
Interesting team selection by Gareth Southgate. There is certainly a job to do to get the best defensive line out of this England squad but England do have many quality players who have performed well in tournaments as well as some new faces who deserve their chance in the team.
All eyes will be looking at how the attacking players link up with the midfield and I expect England to get better as the tournament progresses. They have a good mix of youth and experience and many accomplished trophy winners in their side.
Apologies to all opponents of England in the group stage but I think you will be playing to get out of this group with England.
It's knockout time and Italy are the first big successful footballing nation to get knocked from Euro 24!
We have seen some of the current big teams not meeting perhaps our expectations in the group stage such as France, England, Croatia in terms of clinical performances and then even Netherlands and Portugal and Belgium all losing a game along the way.
England vs Slovakia
I am hoping Southgate trusts Bellingham as Englands best CM and Foden as Englands best number 10 to then select a different option on left wing such as Gordon or Saka and then have maybe Trent AA or Bowen on the right.
England will win this match even if they play it boringly safe, I think Slovakia have done well in their group but I can not see them hurting this England team at this stage of the competition.
My prediction England win, scoring at least 2 goals and controlling most parts of the game - wouldn't that be nice for England fans!
Slovakia of course have a chance but it's probably going to be from set pieces, England will be focused on defending open play.
This has been a really good tournament to watch. I recently got youtube tv and have been able to record all the game so have been able to enjoy them when I have time to watch them. It also gets me excited to play more ea fc which is nice too.
