So deathers, are you going to call for England to not get the gig if Russia are dethroned from their promised tourney?

Honestly, we could hold the tournament at the drop of a hat, we would be the best at controlling hooligans, we have the stadium, the infrastructure and its been 50 effing years since we last held it.

Why the f**k not?

( Yeah Chaz, because we are English......c**t! )

20 years, remember Euro 96?

Charon was referring to the 2018 WC in Russia.

I remember Euro 96, I was 31.

 

Indeed he was my bad. I remember 1966 so pardon my senility.

 

 

Thank God, I thought I was the only one.

 

But only just Toastie, only just.

Aye, deep respect to Wales who've got Albania between them and the last eight.

 

Chris Coleman next England manager, or summat

[charon 4,943]

Albania will beat Wales....

[Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,219]

Albania will beat Wales....

Aye, Albania play with 11 and Wales play with just the 1.................

Reminds me of the tale of the 1936 Olympics when in the 4x100m, it was USA vs France. USA had Jesse Owens on the anchor leg. One of the French sprinters said to one of the Americans "He's all you've got." The reply was "He's all we need..."

Grand game for Norn Oireland - keeper was magnificent. And what about that crowd, who sang their hearts out from start to finish?

 

Hope they progress.

It could of been so different if Dundee United had approached Mickey O'Neil when he was Brechin manager after Craig Levein left for his doomed spell as Scotland manager

Match of the tournament so far between Croatia and Spain.

 

Spain now face Italy!

And with Turkey only winning by 2 goals to 0, Norn Iron now in the last 16. Yay.

Hungary v Portugal has been easily the best game of the Euros so far

 

Great watch

Knew it would be. Haven't watched most of it. FFS,

England now face Iceland just as Roy planned.

[The Mad Hatter 1,092]

WE WON AGAINST ITALY.

[maryportfuncity 10,657]

WE WON AGAINST ITALY.

 

 

Aye, France might be a bigger ask, though - dig in and and hold our for penalties, eh?

[Deathray 2,941]

So Scotland let the side down by not turning up. 4 of 5 British Isles nations (I've probably offended some Irish even though I spent 5 minutes checking the correct term for both islands together) into the last 16.

 

Sadly, that's as far as we can take 4 of 5 as Northern Ireland play Wales in another home nations clash.

 

England and Rep. of Ireland can play in the last 8 if France and Iceland can be negotiated.

I fucking LOVE football, me.

What about the videos and tag-lines?

Great result, what a ball from Hoolahan, and so soon after his howler. That said, Italy were shite - no doubt partly due to the 8 changes they made. Have to play a lot better if they want to beat Spain. Hungary-Portugal was great, was looking forward to the little winker being sent home in ignominy (a la Zlatan) but those Hungarians can't defend for toffee.

 

Italy, Spain, Germany, France and England in the same half of the draw. Ouch. On the other side I'll be amazed if it isn't a Belgium-Croatia semi-final. Belgium haven't played well but they don't have much to beat before Croatia (no Wales, just....no...)

 

I do think it's really open so far. Italy looked great v Belgium but then rubbish tonight; Spain started slowly and then threw it away against Croatia; Germany have laboured (quite similar to England really); France are largely relying on Payet and the home support but the pressure could start to tell on them; Belgium have been poor but are still there and Croatia would have looked great but for the kamikaze ending to the Czech match. Wales are enjoying themselves, Poland have some decent players and Portugal haven't a prayer against Croatia unless they somehow tighten up at the back. And then there's Switzerland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Iceland, Hungary and Ireland who should have no chance but who knows...got to be in it to win it.

 

Oh, and:

So Scotland let the side down by not turning up. 4 of 5 British Isles nations (I've probably offended some Irish even though I spent 5 minutes checking the correct term for both islands together) into the last 16.

 

Spot on. Ireland is an island in the British Isles but the Republic of Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom, while Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. And Scotland are shit at football.
