Italy v Austria 1-0 at 97'

95' 1-0 Chiesa (Spinazzola)

Paid off, it seems.

Very smart from Italy bringing on some fresh legs and new attacking instinct, exactly what they needed

But why the hell have Austria taken Arnie off?? Their best player and biggest threat

Italy is a scumbag team can't wait for them to get smacked around next game

Lovely jubbly.

italy are just weird

Italy v Austria 2-1 FT

114' 2-1 Kalajdzic (Shaub)

In the end they didn't have it, they lost.

They need to put Chiesa from the beginning.
Not always in the last ten minutes :fist:

Perisic out for Croatia in their match against Spain.

Can't believe we're off to the quarter finals.
I'm just so happy! I know it will be hard now, but I will always be proud of what we have achieved :love:

That’s a huge boost for Spain !!

why?


Spain would win either way, Croatia are weak even with Perisic

come on Czechia today :dance:

i expect the netherlands to simply score more goals than the Czech's, that's what this team is about.

Belgium vs Portugal is so difficult to predict, so i go with the fact that I just don't like Ronaldo, and want belgium to win :shrug:

Alf predicts the team Southgate will pick.

Pickford, will be the goalkeeper

Walker, will play at right back

The left back will be between Shaw and Trippier, I think he'll go with Trippier.

Stones and Maguire will be the centre backs.

Rice, will be holding midfield

The next selection is a 50/50, will he gamble on Henderson or keep in the Yorkshire Pirlo? I think he'll take the gamble and go with Henderson.

Mount, will make up the centre of midfield.

The two attacking wide players will be Sterling and Foden.

Skipper, Kane, will be up top.


So the team

Pickford
Walker
Stones
Maguire
Trippier
Rice
Henderson
Mount
Foden
Sterling
Kane

While I'm picking teams, the other day I chose my all-time European Championships team 1984 - present.

This was the team I came up with.

Goalkeeper

Schmeichel

Casilas of Spain came close, but I chose Schmeichel. Schmeichel played a major role in helping Denmark pull of one of the great shock wins in 1992.

Right back

Thuram

Thuram was a top defender from France's victory in 2000.

Left back

Maldini

The only player in my team that didn't win the championship, he did reach a final in 2000 and had many great performances in many championships.

Centre back

Blanc

Another of France's 2000 winning defence, Blanc also played well in the two previous tournaments in 92 and 96.

Centre back

Pepe

Pepe was at the heart of Portugal defence for a few championships, including winning in 2016

Midfield

Sammer

Sammer was the best player at Euro 96 where he inspired Germany to victory.

Midfield

Xavi

Two time championship winner and key man in both victories.

Attack

Cristiano Ronaldo

No words needed

Attack

Platini

More or less single handedly led France to victory in 1984

Attack

Iniesta

This was the toughest choice, I also considered Zidane and Henry for this position but Iniesta fits my team better not to mention he's a two time championship winner.

Up front

Van Basten

Star of the 1988 championships, there was no other choice.


Full team

Schmeichel
Thuram
Blanc
Pepe
Maldini
Sammer
Xavi
Iniesta
Platini
Ronaldo
Van Basten

I like Ronaldo. Want Portugal to win :laugh:

I really hope England wins. I'm liking the team a lot.

It was great to see Gianluca Vialli in the Italian delegation. Such a legend :love:

Which player do you fancy the most, Vanessa?

I bet you have the hots for Grealish?

He's quite nice :laugh:

Czechs are wasting the chances they are getting

Netherlands not in a good form so far

Potential red card :shocked:

Looking forward to tonight's match.

Portugal are my tips to win the tournament, but they've got tough opposition tonight with the in-form Belgians. This is where football God's like Ronaldo step up, he may be 36 but he's still playing like he's in his twenties.

Netherlands down to 10

I want them to win.

Netherlands down to ten. Oh dear!

This game is amazing. So full of drama :laugh:

1-0 Czech Republic

Czec Republic 1
Netherlands 0
