Enjoy that result with a coke Ronaldo. Tosser.

Got a problem with people who dedicate their lives to winning?

@sparky
Amazingly England might still not qualify. Unlikely but possible.

Yep, if Scotland spank Croatia and Czech Republic beat England by 2 goals then Wales and Scotland go through to the last 16 and England are out.

Surely England go through as one of the top 4 3rd place finishers?

Pretty sure 4 points is normally enough to go through.

16/24 teams make the playoffs, euros must be one of the most forgiving group stages in a tournament.

@cyclops 4 points and a bad goal difference and not many goals for might not be enough this time to one of the 4 3rd place teams to go through. England are not certain yet of a place in the last 16.

Pretty clear if you ask me. I’ll leave it there.

Have you been drinking? How on earth did you interpret my comment as having “a problem with people who dedicate their lives to winning”. Either back that up or withdraw it.

Billy Gilmour has tested positive for Covid-19 so has to self-isolate for 10 days. A big blow for the Jocks.

Mason Mount and Ben Chiswell, his Chelsea team mates paying for England, hugged him on the field whistle so it's self-isolation for them too.

Ukraine 0 Austria 1
North Macedonia 0 Netherlands 3

Netherlands and Austria go though to the next round.

Finland 0 Belgium 2
Russia 1 Denmark 4

Belgium and Denmark go though to the next round.

Czech Republic and England are in the 16 next now too.

It's a miracle that he is the only case I've heard of so far

England OR CR are through I imagine as they only have to play each other but not both just yet surely.

I thought they just said both were through during the telecast. England definitely guaranteed to go through

Sorry I thought it was only top 2 going through. I forgot about some of the 3rd places.

@kiwimurph

I saw somewhere that after 71% of the games are played, only 31% of the teams are eliminated. As a neutral I love the drama of playoffs but it feels a bit stupid when most of the 3rd place teams make it through.

@cyclops reminds me a bit of that Cricket World Cup a few cycles back where after pool play there was whole other round of games (2 groups of 5 or something?) where very few teams got eliminated.

Not even sentimental favourites given Denmark are now the people's team. While Finland were holding Belgium, a quarter-final with Finland must have looked enticing.

What about all the Scottish players he's been in a bubble with for the whole tournament? Or are they too manly so didn't do any hugging?

@kiwimurph Nope, both going through.

@kiwipie If they've been staying 2 metres away and their Covid tests keep coming back as negative then under Public Health England rules they are fine.

Fair point given Scotland haven't scored a goal yet in order to avoid hugging

They haven't said. He is also asymptomatic, but obviously this was picked up with their regular testing.

Is there any more hype than an English soccer team in a tournament? ITV coverage - Gary Neville with his wing-gers. Roy Keane, it’s grand boy. Ripe for a last 16 knockout.

I don't understand the second sentence.

Only thing more hyped would be an English soccer team before a tournament though.

Holy shit it's ridiculous eh. Someone I usually consider level headed was losing their shit on FB the other about how Southgate"s hatred of Grealish is going to cost him.

Fuuucking hell, all he's done is not start him and it's hatred.

Grealish with the assist and wunderkid sterling with the absolutely amazing head in.

Take the piss out of the Grealish love in as much as you want …. But England are so much better tonight because of him.

.... and now he's off. Czech defender blatantly pushes Maguire to the ground in the box and..... nothing. From the ref or VAR. They need to win to stay at Wembley, they really need a second goal to ease the nerves.

Big wraps on Jadon Sancho. But what does he have to do to get a game?

England 1 Czech Republic 0. England go through top of the group.

Scotland 1 Croatia 3. Scotland out.

Scotland lacked quality when finishing. Two great chances when the ball was whipped into the box and neither was taken. The Modric goal was world class.

Plus for England - stay at Wembley.
Minus for England - play France, Germany or Portugal next. OK so if Hungary beats Germany and France beats Portugal they could still be playing Hungary at Wembley. 3-6 anyone?

I have a bridge to sell you....

Even the English commentators were laughing at Maguire there.
