Portugal have been shite but you'd absolutely prefer to have any of the other 3 in a last 16 match.

So what results can put Portugal 2nd? Only if both they and Iceland win?

Better than 1979 in Prudhoe. :lol:

4am on a Tuesday here instead of 1 am on a Saturday night. Fuck's sake.

The midfield hasn't really functioned with or without the changes to be honest. I was happy with us trying something new because it hasn't clicked there and our forwards aren't getting chances. There's a lack of creativity. That said, fuck Slovakia and fuck 24 team tournaments. If they wanted to expand it just make it 32 teams be done with it.

Kroos is significantly overrated. Modric carries him at club level. I'd rather have Pogba.

The stat waswas coming from behind after being behind at half time

Admittedly time difference has meant i haven't seen every game

England fans really are some of the most obnoxious arseholes to walk the planet, even if they aren't necessarily violent hooligans.

I'm surprised people are saying its been shit. Most of the games have been either intense or open I think, just with profligate finishing. Hasn't been a one yet I haven't enjoyed.

Ask and you shall receive.

First shot on 75 minutes ffs

No shots in 62 minutes

Northern Ireland have been like proper minnows here

There's 15 ex-USSR countries and 5 ex-Yugoslavia. So 20 or 21 if you stretch to include Kosovo. Who's the other?

Its a quote worthy of wiping out any positive opinion on a manager like.

I remember Zahavi at Palermo. I'm stunned he has that record since leaving. He never pulled up any trees whatsoever.

Fergie was the master at buying the right players, building and recycling teams over and over. Thats what makes the load of shite he left behind all the more baffling.

Smalling was torn to shreds by Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace a few weeks ago. I'm not looking forward to watching the dopey twat over the next few weeks. The fact he's the best of the bunch says a lot. Fact is none of the otjers are still there. All were purchased for, or trusted in, to be long term pieces of a club that has dominated English football and none of them were good enough for that. Which has resulted in a desperate and slapdash rebuilding process.

Forgetting big Cacapa.

It started when he replaced Cristiano Ronaldo with Valencia and Owen, but the attempt at leaving a core of young purchased and homegrown players behind was absolutely laughable. Jones, Smalling, Young, Cleverley, Evans, Anderson, Rafael, Welbeck, Zaha, Powell. All of which are either shite or have now left. The best of the lot, the player now on the market for 100 million, they let go for nowt. Simply the actions of a man either losing the plot or deliberately destroying the club. The transfers since then have been expensive, desperate and lacking in direction or identity. But it's happened about because of the shite that needed replacing ASAP.

Fergie's last few years of transfers were absolutely abysmal, to the point where you start thinking he's done it deliberately so it all falls apart after he left.

Nice article on Iceland. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/08/iceland-stunning-rise-euro-2016-gylfi-sigurdsson-lars-lagerback This bit
