LoonsYouthTeam Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) Group B fixtures along with UK kick off times and channels: Saturday 15th June - 5.00pm - Spain vs Croatia - ITV Saturday 15th June - 8.00pm - Italy vs Albania - BBC1 Wednesday 19th June - 2.00pm - Croatia vs Albania - ITV Thursday 20th June - 8.00pm - Spain vs Italy - ITV Monday 24th June - 8.00pm - Albania vs Spain - BBC (TBC) Monday 24th June -8.00pm - Croatia vs Italy - BBC (TBC) Interesting group for me this, you'd expect Albania to struggle, but they did win their qualifying group so likley aren't as dug meat as when we battered them in the Nations League. Italy are Italy and who knows what type of Italian performance you'll get from the defending champions. Spain are the best side on paper, but as we seen at Hampden, they can be rattled. Croatia are generally a tough customer, hard to predict this one. Edited May 27 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 If we finish second in our group we play the second-placed team in this group in Berlin. That's not looking like it would be easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't expecting us to finish bottom yet plotting our various routes to the final, are you even a Scotland fan? Winner of 2A v 2B plays 1C (which is predicted to be England) v 3DEF in the quarter final, so when we finish 2nd and beat Italy, we'll have England next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Kind of expect Italy to grind out 5 points here. Wouldn't be shocked to see a 5 5 5 0 with Spain racking up the biggest win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 This looks like a group of death to most people but I actually think Spain will win it pretty easily and group D is the real group of death. The Italian side aren’t the same team that won the last edition of this tournament (and even at that, they hit the form of their lives over that month and weren’t great outside of that period) and Croatia have to fall off a cliff at some point, with Modric on his last legs now.  Spain 9 Italy 4 Croatia 4 (sneak through as a 3rd placed team) Albania 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyStar Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 These countries will be able to bond over a shared interest they all had in the 1930s/early 1940s. An interest which seems to be on the rise again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Croatia should be docked points for that boy having a bomb tattoed on his neck. Best award them to us, just get the point across. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Apparently there are 7 times as many Croatians in Berlin than Spanish. Do the Spaniards not travel much to watch the team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
