This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

France is going to be a monster by KnightlyRevue
and you will see them putter some games but when it matters they will dial it to 11 and bury teams. Big Benz looked awfully comfortable playing one touch with Griez and Mbappe yesterday and while it was just Wales they absolutely dominated.
I was hoping that Portugal might have enough to give them trouble but now that Portugal, Germany and France are all in the same group I am less optimistic they will be able to make a run.
I hope England falls flat on their face and gets launched in the group phase. They are getting way too much play as a serious contender. Then again, who knows...Euro can be wonky. My dark horse is Italy. I think their squad is better than people think and they will show well at this tournament.
