Thats fine.

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

Sorry steve, but I am both happy and impressed by Wales !

What? Rai uno is broadcasting the other game?

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.

You have to wonder if 24 teams and this 3rd placed thing, .....

Making Euros into a 24 team event is stupid...to allow 16 teams go forward is even worse.

Good game earlier before they fixed the last 5 minutes between those annoying Hungarians and Portugal.

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.

Bye bye Ibra!

My criticism was not of the teams themselves, but just that it rewards some teams at times to defend with buses.
