Looking Back At My Euro 2024 Predictions 

To quote the Daily Show, "Should we talk about the election? Or would you rather have me read from this breast pump manual for two hours straight?"

Here in Boston. You're not alone 😅

Same. But I just work a boring job at nights. lol. So I fill it with RU-vid

Exquisite

Anyone who's spent some time in Germany will understand

​​@@GloboSVKI don't, just been a week on vacation there (unrelated to the euros) and I haven't encountered any serious delays, 1 or 2 minutes at worst, and I took the subway and tram at least 4 times a day. Am I just really lucky?

Our railway network is full of potholes.

@@LasCosasDeBrunin yep you really are just lucky. Try living here for a year and see how it goes

​@@LasCosasDeBrunin it's not the subways and trams that are the problem. It's mainly the DB run trains like S-Bahn and long distance trains that have horrible reliability

To be fair if we're talking about Hungary's chances of going through, they were also going out until they scored in the 100th minute which I'm fairly sure didn't happen again in the whole tournament

I don't think it's so unexpected, Portugal already qualified and had an almost fully rotated squad

Portugal rested all their big guns and pretty much put a third rate team out.

Sure but they still weren't good

​@@Billiamwoodsin fact, it was the latest ever goal in normal playing time at the Euros.

Here u there bruv Spain came out on top but during the game it was kinda exciting, nerve wracking to. Germany wasted some chances that game notably Fulkrug open goal, Havertz were the villains. Not forgetting the Cucurella Handball, which in my opinion wasn't aswell as Wirtz hitting the post.

@@beefbully4416 Yeah for sure, the buildup is really strong, but what we're probably missing most is an actual world class 9. Havertz as a false 9 and Füllkrug can both have good performances and score goals, but overall we waste too many of the chances we create and aren't clinical enough in front of goal. With someone like Kane/Martinez/Osimhen etc. in front of our midfield we'd be very happy, just look at Kane at Bayern with some of those players around him.

@@liquidorion9250Ich bin nicht mal gebürtiger Deutscher und halte es nicht mit der DFB-Elf aber wie kann man als Deutscher zur Nationalmannschaft die Mannschaft sagen, wenn der Begriff ein gescheitertes Marketinggimmick des DFB ist?

Proud fot what? Kroos the butcher harmed Pedri without booked and made Olmo bury himself?

@@beefbully4416it’s not a handball. cry more

England would be all 7

​@@roywilson4514there is not a single English team that good in history.

​@@1998Cebolaearly 2000s English Team with Becham and Rooney Didnt win shit

Liverpool under klopp have to be up there. 1 covid premier league title in 9 years is absolutely embarassing

@@watman286 They ONLY won 7 trophies. Jurgen Klopp is among all the shit managers who've won the Champions League and league title with the same English club, utter nobodies like Matt Busby, Bob Paisley, Brian Clough, Joe Fagan, Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola, and nobody else. I mean he ONLY took them from 8th in the Premier League to the best team in the world in about 3.5 years, spending about as much as a midtable club, I could do better tbh.

Don't be proud of supporting Spain and not being Spanish. Real football fans can't stand people like you.

true but I think its harsh to discount Rodri for player of the tournament. Props to Zubimendi for stepping into the breach but I don't think Fabian Ruiz or Olmo (most peoples other POTT) could have had the freedom to do what they did, if it wasn't for Rodri being the anchor man and recycling possession into them. Also worth mentioning that Zubimendi added a dynamism that Rodri doesn't have so that's probably what caught England off guard early on, well, at least that's one thing they got wrong. But yes, Fabian Ruiz probably would have got POTT if he had had more influential performances in the latter stages so they likely gave it to Rodri for his steadfastness.

⁠@@adamcang4683 Excellent points. I agree 100%. Ruiz, olmo, williams, and yamal were all fantastic players. However, without Rodri, i don’t think any of them could have played the way did for the entire duration of the tournament. I also agree that england was more psychologically and tactically prepare to face rodri. Hence, when zubimendi came on, he was such a different player from rodri that it threw england for a loop. As a result, this unexpected change gave spain the advantage.

England won f**k all. You get nothing.

The biggest newspaper in Germany had front page news about the shit show that was the trains during the Euros. The "Bahn" was completely unprepared.

@@Jonathanizer ooh, i need to find that article. Thanks

@@RosyMiranto No need, it's nothing very interesting beyond the headlines. Just said there is lots of construction on important lines, not enough personnel, not enough investment, equipment too old, bla bla bla. "Bild" Zeitung, saw it when i was buying bread a couple weeks ago. All i wanted to say, it was noticed here, that it was a real disaster with the trains. Not just Alfie.

@@Jonathanizer okay, got it. But yeah, i know how bad DB it ever since i saw Jet Lag Tag Across Europe... Like a year ago

Olmo also has a case and so does Nico Williams.

@@StillAwesome21 I think Yamal was better than Williams, except in the final

Rodri is the most overrated player in football. Put him on a squad without a super team around him taking ALL pressure from him, he is mid at best. He's gets way too much credit for all the Spain and Man City talent

Rodri is overrated. I can name a dozen player who were better, a few of him his own teammates from Spain.

@@Jonathanizeri can call every player you name “overrated” and name a better one

What

Lul

Just do it yourself. It's too obvious to be interesting to enough folk for Alfie to waste time on it. Just make your own list and stare at it.

This one is very obvious and would be very boring

Hi, thisnis Alfie from another account. Please stop, I'm not making this video!

higher xG than England

Slovenia and Slovakia should have thought about it more when naming their countries, those names are too similiar, i also get them mixed up from time to time.

My name is Romania.

They "could" win the tournament was technically a correct statement though, that they will be bottom of the group was not ;)

Don’t need a video on it. We know it will make the World Cup group stages absolutely shit

No need for a video. Everybody already knows as you said it all. Either make it 16, 32 or 64 teams, not something in the middle.

_'It wasn't a boring Euro's'_ It was garbage.

No sense a team facing two different teams in a single phase. England was Slovakia's real opponents, and Slovakia were a seconds away for reaching the QF.

Their fault for having countries close by with such similar names :D

They are a top nation in football, but very inconsistent. They can go from finalists to not even qualifying for a tournament in a few years.

He rarely shows footballing footage, and there is already like a hundred other channels (or more) who make "best goals of..." compilations.

@@Jonathanizer In retrospect have to agree. He did a Puskas award ranking a while ago but he had some 15/16 goals to go through... 7 would be too fewer to fill a whole video.

Ronaldo took lots of free kicks this Euros.

@@Jonathanizer I meant that as "there was one he didn't take", that he took a bunch I assume was implied, also in context.

@@TheFlyingV "didn't take one" literally means he had zero free kicks, it's not ambiguous. Probably something lost in translation, so thanks for the clarification.

Spot on. UEFA won't make those calls is Spain is involved.

@@lougiacobbi725 No, I just meant he (Lukaku) is unlucky

He has done one, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g820Tdby22g.html

I did one about the national stadium some months ago

The long-range and intercity trains operated by the state company DB are run even poorer than you could ever imagine. However public transport within bigger cities or metro-areas works just fine

nothing compared to how they ran trains all over Europe in the 30s and 40s that's for sure

VAR called him out

He is English.

Doppelgangers exist. Mindblown.

own goal is not a player

The Dutch and the Scottish were the best fans here. Cheers from Germany :D

I think he said that in jest because it made his prediction fail
