Men's Football UEFA European Championship 2024

Dutch TV had a piece on why the Netherlands is so godawful at penalty shootouts, losing 6 out of 8 in World Cups and European championships. The hit rate of penalties isn't that bad, but the stoppage rate is horrible, basically lower than any other top European country. However, we have Bart Verbruggen now, and the show called upon giving him an international reputation as a penalty killer (which he is, he stopped three of Ludogorets' penalties in European competition last year, in one shootout!) and made an English-language video with 10 Bart Verbruggen facts for all non-Dutch people to know and fear :p 

 

If you're bored, the English part starts at 7:00 or so.

Also, I must say I really missed the 'Orange marches' :d 

 

Last time was probably 2012, since after that we had 2014 (too far away), 2016 and 2018 (not qualified), 2021 (too spread around to feel like a tournament) and 2022 (Qatar, so yeah). 

 

:cheer:

Anyone fancy this scenario?

 

Denmark beats Serbia, England "destroy" Slovenia (sorry for our Slovenian users), Turkye beats Czechia and Cristiano Ronaldo help Portugal beating Georgia by scoring at least a brace.

 

Thus Modric' Croatia goes on.

Won’t happen because Portugal then plays Croatia. They will just draw against Georgia if this scenario looms.

Since group win is already done I’m really expecting a match with the “second squad”, so without the best players.

 

that being said, it still might be possible that Ronaldo plays because he might want to score to beat some other record that he still has not beaten

Of course, anything is possible but it's hard for me to see Georgia being any trouble for Portugal.

 

I'd rather bet of Weghorst becoming the top goalscorer coming as substitute in every single match up to the final.

This was confirmed btw, Ronaldo will be in the starting squad against Georgia as well.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
