Worst tournament so far. Have had three accys done by one or two results. France will do it for me tonight again
-
As in host nation being s*** yeah, but even our 2014 team was better than what France has produced thus far. Can't see this French side reaching the semi's and getting trashed either Can see them stumbling into a QF or semi at this rate then getting pumped. They might grow in to the competition but I don't see it. Really can't see them getting into the semi the way they're playing. At least Brazil despite lacking technically were playing a dirty and tactical game with shite players. France just look lost on the pitch. Only Kante and Payet gets a pass for me.

Need France and Germany v Northern ireland to win me £250. But by the looks of it all i won't win shit. Have Switzerland + France for a £100 profit today as well.

Rookie defending all day today so far.

Really like this Andre Gomes. Classy player.
-
Iceland are really organized. Freaking Lagerbäck

x 1000 Tite seems to take over. Best manager we have, like I said, we'll not be exciting but he gives us the best chance to win the modern way. Hoping Thiago Silva to be called up again.

Euro 2016 trouble - Russia handed suspended disqualification by UEFA

Shots well and truly fired. As opposed to getting into fist fights with the opposition? It's not self proclaimed buddy. Everyone but the English accepts it. As for the black fella, he seemed to be having a great old time. Couple of Irish fans helped an elderly couple with a flat tire too. Just legends all round. -
Who's giving him grief, think he's done well today. Still a mistake not to bring Diego Costa.
-
Cech has made some decent saves.
-
I've heard most Spain fans don't rate him, and the times I've seen him he's been extremely inconsistent. He's fast and all, but seems clumsy.
-
Feel for you man. That sucks. So many people here getting affected by all this s***. Seriously fucking pissed off... Hopefully I'll get down to Toulouse to watch the Italy game however.

Definitely our best manager, but with him we'd just look more organized and not playing the most free-flowing beautiful football. Probably the only one I can think of that would give us a chance to win things the 'boring' way. I think we need to go after someone like Zico or Leonardo who both despite not being in management for a while (or at least real management) always had their teams playing attacking football and would command respect from their players. I mean, we don't need the most tactically astute manager, we need someone that will bring back the Brazilian football. Or just go after Sampaoli, now that would be something. An Argentine managing Brazil, just like our basketball team.

Oh yeah, it's quite frankly embarrassing.

True, we don't have those 5 top 10 players, but in terms of talent not many teams have better players than Brazil on the international level I think we're definitely still a top 5 side in that. Neymar, Thiago Silva and Marcelo are three players that are top 2 in their positions. We have Coutinho, Willian and Douglas Costa who have all been one of the best for their club sides this season. Player like Lucas Moura that keeps on improving at PSG. Our problem is our manager, for a big nation we haven't produced a good manager in at least 15 years now and since Julio Cesar we have had problems with a real good goalkeeper. Diego Alves is probably a perfect goalkeeper for the international level (due to being a penalty expert), but he has never really gotten a chance. Our only hope is Dunga getting sacked and I think success in the Olympics might bring the confidence back despite it being a nothing competition really.

What is tough? First time in my life I've celebrated Brazil losing. It's just what had to happen. Dunga can say all he wanted about the goal, but in the first game Ecuador had a goal disallowed wrongfully. It's just time CBF realizes we have to go back to our roots if we want to have success. Been begging for Brazil to play a 4-1-4-1 with five mobile offensive players and one anchor man. We have talents all over the pitch, imagine Casemiro behind a Coutinho, Douglas Costa, Lucas, Willian and Neymar all moving constantly fluidly. Just like the 70 team. Football has been moving towards a boring trend, but both Germany and Spain has shown that despite most teams being boring you need a certain style to win the big things.
-
Douglas Costa, Thiago Silva are pretty decent players as well. Felt bad for Coutinho last night, had no one to pass to. We didn't manage to score one goal against Ecuador or Peru. Dunga ffs. Calling up players from Chinese league. This was bound to happen.

If it was the World Cup I'd probably be in tears and not laughing tears. But man, it's just too funny.

Dunga close to tears there This is magical.
