Everyone loves the international break

The Euros were supposed to happen last year but for obvious reasons they were postponed to this summer. Now, in addition to that, we also have the qualifiers for teh World Cup in 2022 to be hosted by Qatar probably. Those start today for UEFA and CONCACAF. CAF and OFC start later this summer and the AFC and CONMEBOL confederations have already begun in some sort of interrupted status due to the 'rona.

Use this thread to post about these tournaments as well as any other international football stuff.

Italy's U-21 team has now finished both games they've played in this tournament with 9 men. At this rate they'll barely be able to field a team for the last game in the group stage.

One my favourite games at the euros is to try and work out which bang average player from a mid table club is going to put together 4 or 5 good performances and have all the big clubs desperate to sign him to a mega contract

Nobody is going to top Mustafi for this.

A random question i've got mostly because Kante might manage it. Can anyone think of a player who has won a domestic league + cup, uefa cup/europa league and champions league and then the world cup + their continental cup?

I thought Dino Zoff might have this but he's missing the Champions League, only a runner up there.

If for some reason you want to discuss the Olympic football tournament(s) the subforum for it is here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=249

Both the men’s and women’s tournaments have already started and both have had an upset already. It might be good! Who knows!

France are down a man with an entire half to play against Bosnia. Tied 1-1.

e: Kolasinac injured from the tackle too. Is this good for Arsenal or bad?

What the gently caress is the point of this? Is it supposed to correct for perspective or something?

So a major tournament every year? How do you even handle qualifying for the next one at that point? Two weeks in October where you're gonna play 6/7 games and again in March in between your domestic/cup/continental ties? That's crazy

This is the actual point because the more qualifiers that are played the more money the nations that never qualify for the World Cup finals are going to get from FIFA. That’s who’s pushing this, isn’t it?

I obviously FIFA themselves are as well because it’s more money from sponsors, but I think this massive fixture congestion is actually what they want.

Gonna bring this up here because we (Italy) are in a precarious position where if we lose to Switzerland tonight there is a big chance that we wont qualify for the WC directly and we all know how the last playoff qualifier went. When is the last time the reigning European Champion didn't qualify for the subsequent World Cup? Has it ever happened?

We're missing 5 starters, nobody even knows how we'll line up. Plus we changed managers after the Euros. We could do the super underdog against all odds thing I guess but I think it's more likely that we're completely disjointed and can't get anything going.

I hope so lol

We're missing Chiellini, Immobile, Zaniolo and Pellegrini but the only one that really has no equal replacement is Chiellini, and Acerbi seems good enough for now. No Verratti but that was known.
