Zatman Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 England vs Wales is not really that big of a game in Europe to get a change. the late kick off that day is Germany vs Poland a proper football rivalry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 id guess most would happily point at marseille and say we've got form and despite some attempts several years after the event by some of our journos to actually understand what happened in marseille the french would rather point fingers at us and try and keep the belief that it was all just drunken football fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule is decided way before the draw is made. The draw just fills up the slots that have been pre-determined. The bigger countries, as you call them, do not "tend" to do anything other than play the games at the times that have been decided months before the draw.

England Italy was due to be played at I believe 1am last world cup but got bumped forward to 11pm. I'm also pretty sure England on occasions have had stadiums swooped with other teams due to security issues so there is precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was moved for a variety of reasons but it's very rare for it to happen. As far as I know, not one game at Euro 2016 has been moved. It's simply not the case that bigger teams tend to play the late game, which was the post I was quoting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The French defence doesn't look the best, also upfront how the hell has gignac got in but gamiero who has played well for Sevilla not got in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 benzema - 28 goals in 36 games for real madrid lacazette - 23 goals in 43 games for lyon gamiero - 29 goals in 52 games for sevilla none of them called up... gignac to be fair to him has been scoring goals for fun too but its for tigres also missing from the france squad - sakho (drug ban) varane, kondogbia, valbuena, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
