Great games all around.

[Drew.]

That 3 day period is going to be good fun

[Calderyon]

The left side of the tournament chart looks much easier than the right side.

[Shaun]

Yeah it's going to be relatively easy for one of Croatia, Wales, Switzerland or Portugal to make the final.

All of the big names are on the other side (Italy, Spain, France, Germany, England)

[Calderyon]

Iceland will have to do one of the biggest miracles in sports if they want to win the championship.

[Niamh.]

Iceland will have to do one of the biggest miracles in sports if they want to win the championship.

Leicester won the premiership and Iceland to win the Euros, would be amazing :laugh:

[Denver]

i love how its so open that we could have a random winner like Greece 2004

[Calderyon]

Switzerland v Poland 1-1 after 90 minutes.

Great game. Especially that Swiss equalizer. :flutter:

Might be the best goal of the tournament so far.

[Crimson Dynamo]

best goal so far that one

[Calderyon]

1st half of extra time, no goals scored.

[Cherie]

That goal!

[Drew.]

Shaqiri is running riot out there

[Shaun]

C'mon la suisse!!!!!!!!

[Crimson Dynamo]

pens here we come

[Shaun]

bloody Granit getting all of his toxins out of his system before he joins us

[Shaun]

PFFFFFFFFFFFT.

[Calderyon]

Hmph. Was hoping Switzerland would go through, after that great equalizer goal. They fought really hard and controlled the second half, while Poland was slacking a little after their goal in the first half.

But in the end Poland wins 2-1 after PK´(5-4) against Switzerland and goes through to the quarterfinals.

[Calderyon]

In any case, Poland are going for a ride in the next round against either of Portugal or Croatia. Can´t see them advancing further.

[Calderyon]

Wales vs Northern Ireland starting. This is going to be good.

[Calderyon]

Wales v Northern Ireland 0-0 after 1st half.

[Shaun]

This is going to be good.

Not yet :fist:

[Shaun]

:( McAuley

[Black Dagger]

**** off Wales, bloody traitors.

[Calderyon]

Wales leads 1-0. And i missed the goal.

[Shaun]

ouch @ that Williams clash

[Brother Leon]

Bloody Bale. Xaka will fit in great at Arsenal with that bottle.

[Calderyon]

Wales downs Northern Ireland 1 goals to 0.

[Shaun]

Battle of the new blonds incoming (unless Hungary can continue their streak and destroy the Belgians as well)

[Cherie]

Shame for NI to go out on an own goal..well played both teams :clap1:

[Calderyon]

Croatia vs Portugal 0-0 at 52nd minute.

[Calderyon]

Croatia vs Portugal still 0-0 after 90 minutes.

Next it´s extra time.

Attempts 8-4, but none of them were on target.

[Shaun]

Not a classic, this. Was hoping Croatia would breeze through.

[Calderyon]

Yeah, it´s not been a great game. Lots of missed shots.

Somehow i see Portugal win this on penalties.

[Drew.]

This game is absolutely dire

[Calderyon]

Both of the teams seem to be overly nervous and thus botch most of the shots.

[Calderyon]

Portugal makes it 1-0 at 117th minute. Quaresma the scorer.

[Ross.]

That's 2 and a half hours I'll never get back

[Shaun]

My hatred of the Portuguese intensifies

[Calderyon]

Croatia was so close on scoring just before. Feel a little sorry them.

[Calderyon]

Game ends at Croatia 0, Portugal 1.

[Calderyon]

Statistics tell that Croatia controlled the game while Portugal was in distress, they just had extremely bad finishing and no luck in the process.

[seanraff07]

Football was absolutely shocking yesterday, and it hasn't been much better the rest of the tournament.

Really disappointed

[Calderyon]

What!?

Ireland leads 1-0 against France at 26th minute. This would be a huge upset.

[Cherie]

What!?

Ireland leads 1-0 at 26th. This would be a huge upset.

Pen in 2nd minute :dance:

[Calderyon]

^ Luck of the Irish :pipe:

[Brother Leon]

Torn over what I want. I prefer France due to Evra and Pogba, but it is better for England if Ireland win.

[Calderyon]

I can see England go out the semis anyway. Spain, Italy or Germany will take of them.

[Niamh.]

I'm sick :worry: this is going to be the most stressful 45 minutes ever

This should be a quality game. Cmon Italia!

[Niamh.]

have to go for the Spaniards in this one I think

[Drew.]

Espana :clap1:

[Drew.]

De Gea single handedly saving them right now

[Calderyon]

Did i miss something?

[Niamh.]

Did i miss something?

a couple of good saves

[Calderyon]

Have bets on both Italy and Spain, so i´m okay with either of them winning.

[Vanessa]

Italy is doing well. They're playing a good game. :dance: Forza azzurri!

[Calderyon]

a couple of good saves

Oh, good not much then luckily. Have to watch them later on highlights.

[Calderyon]

I think this game is too good not to end in a tie and eventually go to the penalties.

[Vanessa]

Come on lads we can do it! Wooooooooooooh! :cheer: Go Italy!

[Drew.]

Scenes at Vanessa's household

[Calderyon]

1-0 for Italy!!!

Ciellini the scorer.

[Vanessa]

WooooooooooooooooooooooooH! GET IN THERE! :amazed:

[Drew.]

Goal was coming

[Ross.]

Goal was coming

Definitely

[Vanessa]

Italy still needs to be careful. They will kick our asses in the second half :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Horrible defending from Spain there.

[Drew.]

De Geas had a good game but that was shoddy keeping

[Calderyon]

Now that Italy has gotten the goal, it will most likely retreat to it´s defensive zone and look for counter attacks, while Spain continues to attack and push against a brick wall. I do expect them to equalize the game in due time though.

[Calderyon]

De Geas had a good game but that was shoddy keeping

Didn´t get much help from the defenders though. But yeah that was sloppy goal keeping.

[Vanessa]

Excellent game from Italy :clap1:

[Calderyon]

First half ends in Italy 1, Spain 0.

[Calderyon]

Excellent game from Italy :clap1:

Only 1st half gone though. Spain will come extremely hard on the 2nd, Italy will needs to be wary, if they want to win.

[Calderyon]

Yellow card for Graziano Pelle.

That's my worry. :worry: Same as Spain underestimated Italy.

[GiRTh]

Sturridge in Lallana out :shrug:

[Calderyon]

I don´t think Spain underestimated Italy, it´s just that Italy´s strategy succeeded perfectly.

[Suze]

Iceland will have to do one of the biggest miracles in sports if they want to win the championship.

I suppose coming from the UK my support should be mostly with England, but I sorta would like those underdogs Iceland to beat England.

[Vanessa]

I don´t think Spain underestimated Italy, it´s just that Italy´s strategy succeeded.

Italy played very well, but i don't think Spain expected them to be this good :laugh:

[Calderyon]

I disagree, after all they were the final 2 on the last Euros. Granted Italy was destroyed in that game, but still...

[Brother Leon]

This has Extra Time all over it.

[Shaun]

I'll give you this Alf: I was wrong about us never taking Rooney :p (I know that was just a penalty but he's been one of the few English players that hasn't been a total let-down)

[Shaun]

oh dear.

[Brother Leon]

Go on Raheem.

[Calderyon]

Wth happened? 6 minutes gone and it´s already 1-1.

We´ll that was horrible goalkeeping. Iceland leads 2-1 in the 19th minute.

[Brother Leon]

**** off Hart. Useless twat.

[GiRTh]

Kane taking free kicks again.. This does not look good at all.

going to need Vardy to save us again, Sturridge has looked a bit useless

Substitutions are what is needed. Now or at half time at the latest.

[Shaun]

Just doesn't seem to be any teamwork at all, everyone still trying volleys and shots from 30 yards, and freezing at the box when they should be looking for the ball.

[GiRTh]

I say it again, if England underestimate Iceland, they´re going to be in a lot of trouble.:clap1:

[Calderyon]

1st half ends, England 1, Iceland 2.

Not looking good for England, no visible game plan whatsoever. Just a good amount of long shots and hope for the best. That´s not the way to defeat Iceland.

What they need to do is speed up the game, pass more and keep the passes shorter. Try to get closer to the goal. No long ball crosses and/or long range shots.

[Vanessa]

[Tarryn]

Put Rashford on.
He did more in 20 minutes against Wales than some have done in this entire Championships.
He & Sturridge would work well together.

[Crimson Dynamo]

This would never of happened if the UK was still in the EU

HAPPY NOW RACIST LEAVERS?????

[Crimson Dynamo]

Brexit number 2 imminent


:fan:

[GiRTh]

Wilshire on for Dier. Not sure Jack has the defensive discipline for this type of game. He could either cement himself as Englands holding mid for the next five years or this could go completely t*ts up.

[Vanessa]

WTF are them noises the Iceland fans are making? So annoying! Make them stop! D:

[Tarryn]

So now Vardy is coming on. Why not Rashford :shrug:

[Vanessa]

Not Iceland this year dark horse :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Only 16+ minutes left of the game.

England is trying hard, but it´s not very organized and comes as desperate.

[GiRTh]

Kane and Sturridge MIA. Get them off. And play with ten men

[GiRTh]

Sounds like Roys resigning.

[James]

Don't think the inquisition tone on TV after a defeat like that helps England. It puts players under more pressure and play with fear. Just accept you got beaten by better team, players not as good as you think, underestimated the opposition, uncertain team selection, and move on.

[James]

Judging by Twitter trends the official England scapegoats for this tournament are Harry Kane, Joe Hart, Rooney and Wiltshire.

[Shaun]

Yeah I really don't understand why Rooney's being targeted. He's been one of the few that hasn't been useless.

Sterling, Lallana, Henderson, Cahill, Hart, Kane, Rose and - to an extent - Wilshere, were all useless.

[the truth]

3 brexits in a wake , can we ask for a re play again?

Yeah I agree, I'm sure the players didn't purposely throw away the game, it's sport, it's unpredictable, s**t happens. Just give Iceland some credit and move on. I feel bad for the players, like they wouldn't be feeling bad enough as it is :/

[Calderyon]

They just underestimated Iceland´s potential, went with the wrong strategy and in the 2nd half it was mostly panic and desperation. Happens to the best of them.

[GiRTh]

Spurs has entered the mix too.Spurs players will give you Spurs results.

Agree with the stick Wishire is getting despite being an Arsenal fan. He hasnt played a full game for us for almost two years so what the hell was he doing in the England squad. Drinkwater must be wandering what the hell is going on Mark Noble must be thinking he's never gonna get a chance.

[Drew.]

I don't think it was a case of even underestimating the opposition. The whole tournament we were scraping through with no tactics or plans going into the games. The manager had no idea what his best 11 was, didn't know where to play his players and basically had no idea what he was doing. This 2 week period is worse than anything i've ever witnessed by an England team before

Have said all along i wouldn't trust those Spurs players filling up the National team and Roy proved me right.. Dier is the only one to come away with any kind of positive impression.

As for Wilshere, unfair to put any blame on the man himself. Even 50% fit he performed better than any other midfielder yesterday

[GiRTh]

Yeah I really don't understand why Rooney's being targeted. He's been one of the few that hasn't been useless.

Sterling, Lallana, Henderson, Cahill, Hart, Kane, Rose and - to an extent - Wilshere, were all useless.Rooney has been great. He's been one of Englands best players.

As for Wilshere, unfair to put any blame on the man himself. Even 50% fit he performed better than any other midfielder yesterdayHe hasnt got the legs or defensive discipline for the position . He's living off his form when he was seventeen. Dier looks much better in that holding position and to play Wilshire showed complete lack of ideas from Roy on how to play the 433 system and and a blind loyalty to certain players. I think Roys loyalty to Sterling is just as misguided.

Dier is naturally a defensive player, Wilshere is an attacking player and shouldn't be playing that deep. Going forwards Wilshere was the only ones trying to take risks, constantly running & passing the ball forwards, trying to find runners and the strikers but the movement up top was horrific yesterday.

We don't see that in this country though. Our fans, media and pundits would rather criticize a player for having a few unsuccessful passes/dribbles trying to create something and praise a player who is happy to sit there passing the ball back to his defenders and from side to side creating bugger all.

Again, Roy showed little idea of the type of personnel he needed to play that system. Iceland had probably the better chances in the 2nd half due to the lack of protection Wilshire gave the back four.

Missed the 2nd half, but 1st was quite good game from both of them, i think?

(Game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes and Portugal won 5-3 after penalties)

[Calderyon]

Portugal´s fifth tie in their fifth match.

Safe to say that their next match will most likely also go beyond 90 minutes.

It blows all their theories out of the water :laugh:Unfortunately, I think they are just gonna appoint another manager and hope for the best. There are clearly issues with England at these tournaments but they wont be addressed. I dont think one man cannot turn this around and make England competitive.
