A Way-Too-Early Ranking of the Euro 2020 Front Runners | B/R Football Ranks Podcast
281Sam Tighe (@brsamtighe) and Dean Jones (@deanjonesbr) join host Jack Collins (@jjwc) to take a look at EURO 2020, and rank the five teams who are best placed to win UEFA’s showpiece event next summer. We talk Italy (23:15), the Netherlands (27:01), Belgium (31:10), Portugal (35:33) and France (38:57); as well as discussing Spain and England’s chances, and also taking a theoretical look at where Brazil, Argentina, the USA and AFCON champions Algeria would finish if they were invited as the four guest nations (47:50).
Hot Takes this week involve a discussion of PSG's front line and whether any of Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani or Icardi will be at the Parc des Princes next season (03:29); thoughts on Roy Keane's comments on Declan Rice (09:16); and we take a two-way spotlight on Manchester City vs. Chelsea in this week's Match-Up (14:45).
The Picks League returns, and there’s a new player on the table, a ‘monkey in a suit’, to see if he can outdo the Rank Squad (53:11), before Sam rounds things off by ranking Premier League footballers who he would love to be the President or Head of State of their respective countries. (56:23)
