BOF Posted May 25, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2021 It's got to be the first time ever that a Spanish squad for a finals tournament has no Real Madrid players in it. That's just mental. Even if he did decide to only pick 24 players from a possible 26 and controversially dropped Sergio Ramos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Piatek already out for Poland and potentially Milik as who suffered a knee injury in the final game for Marseille. Good news for them that Lewandowski fella looks pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for them that Lewandowski fella looks pretty solid. Honestly not huge losses. Piatek it turns out isn't very good, and Milik is pretty unanimously hated by every club he's played for. This Poland team would be genuinely a threat if they had another 3-4 quality players. Its just the players you haven't heard of are barely champ quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Milik will be back, he has hit some form since leaving Napoli (I think 9 goals in 14?) so his absence will be visible should he not make it.

sne Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 As expected Sweden have the oldest squad in the tournament with an average age of 29,2 (same as Belgium) And that's after we replaced a 39 y.o Zlatan with 23 y.o Jordan Larsson. Turkey (25.0 years) and England (25.3) have the youngest squads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Sweden starting with Alexander Isak and Dejan Kulusevski up front in tonight's friendly against Armenia.

Yeah it's a tough one. You have Lewandowski thou Could go either way, Sweden are usually better than the sum of their parts but it's a very old squad and the CM is likely not great depending on how we choose to set up.

Not really too fuzzed about how Sweden fare tbh. They have zero chance of hurting the big boys in the latter stages, but would be fun if they at least reached the knock outs. Edit. should add that having fans back in the stadiums, even if just a couple thousands makes a huge difference for me. The games feel alive now unlike the anemic shit we've seen up until now. Have next week then I go on a 9 week holiday so I'm gonna soak it all in and just chill. Edited June 6, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Sergio Busquets tests positive for Covid and is now isolated from the rest of the Spain squad. They might be forced to play the final friendly against Lithuania with their U-21's. Considering Sweden play them in the first game I hope they have to forfeit 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
