Thats fine.
Slovakia parking the bus and then another one. 7 defenders on and we are too poor to break them down.

You have to wonder if 24 teams and this 3rd placed thing, is going to encourage many more teams to defend like this. Not a step forward for the tournament.
Romania lost to Albania? O' dear...
Well, championship favourites have failed in the past too, so I guess that's sports as they say. :)
Making Euros into a 24 team event is stupid...to allow 16 teams go forward is even worse.Quote:

Italy and all their changes look ordinary so far.
England v Iceland in the second round for us. hmm..... we will struggle to break down their packed defence.
Now think of this: Hungary came to Euro 2016 after being 3rd in its qualification group. And just look how many goals they scored.Quote:

No games tonight.... what will we do?

No way.
CR7 in the limelight again for "taking Portugal to the knockout" :s Sure he played well in the 2nd half and scored 1 brilliant goal (the header was simple, the defender needs to be taught how to to mark people)
They barely scraped through and now might go all the way...without winning a game even (penalties etc)
I had hoped for a Eng v Por game again, Wales got an easier draw, infact that side of the draw is ripe for a team like England or Wales to make it to the final even (or Iceland!) while Spain/Italy/Germany/France will have very tough games to reach the final..
Messi is leading Argentina to another Copa final in other news. Good to see.
3rd year in a row, another final. Hopefully a better result. He has played wonderfully so far.
England is on the same side of the draw as Spain/Italy/Germany/FranceQuote:

Hey Brown, are you 100% sure that Spain will beat Italy first ???
I think so. Although I've only seen Italy play one game and that was when they didn't care against Ireland.Quote:

I dont think we can be the best. I was just hoping for a lucky route for some fun. Now we will get beaten by Iceland or smashed by a good team. lolQuote:

Its been a terrible first half. Neither of them have much quality. Both have gotten here by desire and grit. Look at Northern Ireland only winning 1 and losing 2.
Not exactly in form.
Lets hope we see some braver football and some goals.
Own goal for NI, oh my!
Brexit is winning!!! Own goal from Remain.
Lost the link in the second half. Couldn't see it.
Can't wait for Croatia -Portugal.
Go Croatia !!!!
Why? :confused:Quote:

I have no simpathy for Croatia. They always were better than us and always beated us. And I don't even have a croatian GF.....:p
Go Portugal... home :p
It seems that around here Romania is still the favorite :laugh:. What could you could expect from a motorsport forum? :rolleyes: :laugh:
Benny???!! Do you have a croatian gf , too? :eek:
Can Romania still win it even though they are home? I still believe :p
Another average start to a game. We want 3-3
Why did I support Romania then? :devil:Quote:
