Shocked to hear about Eriksen. Great that he is OK.

I watched the Italy-Turkey game yesterday but will likely only watch the late pool games due to the time difference.

Sounds like he had a massive cardiac event and needed CPR. Reports suggest he is stable. Super scary

Stargazer

It looks like I'll start work late, tomorrow morning. I might wear an orange outfit, too.

Oh, shit, that brings back memories...
last time I watched England play Croatia in the Euros (I think)- was in an Irish pub in Quito, full of English backpackers, and I vowed to drink a bottle of wine for each Croatian goal.
2007.
I keep my promises.
Drunk.

Scary but great to see he's OK

Italy looked very slick on Friday night.

We got lucky against Switzerland. Have to beat Turkey on Wednesday for any chance of progressing.

England 1 Croatia 0

Goal at Wembley from local boy Raheem Sterling after a great pass by Kalvin Phillips.

Analysis of the referee by the younger Gallagher brother who would be well at home on the Fern.

Lucky. You were crap save the saved header and the goal. Switzerland always lack the killer instinct. Don’t know what the Swiss team would look like without the Balkan’s war…

Stargazer

Phew. The men in orange beat Ukraine 3 - 2, but it was closer than it should have been. They let them back in after leading 2 -0.

Patrick Shick scores a goal from a shot from halfway for the Czech Republic against Scotland. Incredible.

Against the run of play to be fair

Scotland have been really unlucky / missing a quality finisher / thwarted by great goalkeeping

KiwiMurph

@mikethesnow the replays don't pain a great picture for the Scottish goalie.

What the hell is he doing near halfway?

Collapsed and required CPR?

Bovidae

France does enough against Die Mannschaft winning 1-0 from a Hummels own goal. A huge game for Germany against Portugal next.

mofitzy_

Based on the 2 games, I'd pick Portugal over Germany.

France still favourites but they weren't a well-oiled machine by any stretch.

Bones

Picked up France in the work sweepstake so pretty happy with that. Cest magnifier

MiketheSnow

Much better from Wales

World class pass and finish from Bale & Ramsey.

Wales 1-0 Turkey

Too fucking cute Gareth

Italy look AB-esque. Reckon they will go far in this tournament.

Bovidae

Turkey were the dark horse according to many media pundits. Two losses and no goals so far.

So, smashed in a semi with their heads in the clouds.

Italy do very well when they are more Bok-esque.

Rapido

Belgium's goals were both beautiful.

Crucial

Well, England/ Scotland was about as exciting as the cricket.

Tartan Army will be enjoying their post match drinks more though.

sparky

God that was dull. Hats off to Scotland for competing. England looked dire.

Crucial

I told my mate that all was OK as the ICC have intervened and declared England winners based on them winning more corners.

MiketheSnow

That’s the Engerrrland Express heading back to the sheds then

MajorStokes

1st half awesome, 2nd average at best.

England not looking like they build into this at this point.

Bovidae

England will be going home soon enough. Potentially Portugal or Germany in the Round of 16.

MiketheSnow

Great result for Hungary drawing 1-1 with France

Portugal in charge 1-0 against Germany, then they start fucking about time wasting and diving instead of pushing for the second goal.

Next thing you know they’re 2-1 down

That’ll learn ‘em

Rancid Schnitzel

Enjoy that result with a coke Ronaldo. Tosser.

MiketheSnow

Italy all over us, even before we went down to 10 men

If we can keep it at 1-0 (20 mins to go) it’ll be a miracle

sparky

Wales losing but should make it to the last 16 anyway.

MiketheSnow

That’s a huge result for Wales

Italy the better team but it could easily have been 1-1 or 5-0

It’s a funny old game Saint

sparky

Wales lose 1-0 but finish 2nd in their group. They are in the last 16 and will play again on Saturday in Amsterdam.
