I also decided to set up a JC fantasy football league for fun, you can join using this link or using the code: 399JX5VE05.

To conclude a FAQ:

Omega the pandemic must have addled your brain we're already in 2021.
I know but UEFA decided to keep the 2020 number for merchandising reasoning so we're stuck with it.

 

Gotta go for the home team - England. At World Cup time I usually cheer for the USA as well since I'm from there.

 

It'll be the Czehahahahahahahahahahaha

 

Going with Team Other as per tradition.

 

France most likely to win IMO

England have a good set of players and have an outside chance provided Southgate is a little braver but I'm expecting us to crash in the first match we face IF we get out of the group (I'm a jaded England fan with no faith even after the World Cup Semi final the other year)

 

I chose Belgium, though of course I'd like it to be England.

Even if they lose DeBruyne they've still got a great squad.

 

Going for England... Harry Kane's got to be on a winning team one of these days, right, so why not now?

 

Did Australia not qualify?

 

England have as many players from Dortmund (2), as Germany does.

Mary they meet in a glorious final.

 

Spanish squad in isolation after Busquets tested positive for Covid

 

I’m going with Sweden

 

which Germany will win on penalties


again

 

I have a hard time seeing beyond France winning it.

Belgium would possibly be my choice, but not with that manager.

 

agreed, I think they are much better with out Zlatan, I was pretty pleased with their last World Cup appearance

 

I think Italy are my dark horse bet. They've sort of slipped under the radar. However, if this goes to form...

Arsène Wenger thinks that France are 'super-favourites', and claims that even eleven subs on the bench would get into any other national team. Difficult to argue against that...

 

i voted for England but lol that's never going to happen

 

Spain also has a second covid case, group E might become a super spreader event.

 

At least England are in group D..

 

The entire Czech team is eligible for vaccination so they damn well better have done so.

Edit: Although if it’s the Delta variant making the rounds they likely don’t have that crucial two dose protection.
