I evidently missed a trick not using my FPL win as an excuse to crank my forum ego up several notches.

How's the beer can, did you say?

Better late than never if we're signing Arda Turan.

Try clicking home tickets and see if it puts you in the queue, still. Think that's what I did earlier on. Was just half an hour of desperately clicking anything and everything til something worked tbh

it's an absolute mess today like - trial and error, workarounds, uncertainty re whether you've even managed to apply or not

Still getting an error when clicking ballots after applying mind

Oh it's just worked for me now, went back in the queue and the right screen was up to apply for ballot this time. Maybe try again in case they've fixed something.

Cheers, I get an error pop-up when I do that though.

Sounds like a multitude of different issues people are seeing, rather than just the same thing

Won't let me apply for the ballot, once through the queue there is a "Sign In" button next to the fixture, that looks greyed out and does nothing when you click it. Only bought memberships yesterday so unsure if the system hasn't caught up, but memberships are showing in my account

Ah sorry @Magpie England 1-1 Spain

Never change a drawing team.

Spain 1-0 France Netherlands 1-1 England

The first half was better but the rest was passive shite. I'm struggling to get behind it, it's so fucking dull.

Spain 2-1 Germany Portugal 0-1 France England 1-2 Switzerland Netherlands 2-1 Turkey

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Swizerland 1-1 Italy Germany 3-1 Denmark England 2-0 Slovakia Spain 3-1 Georgia France 2-0 Belgium Portugal 2-0 Slovenia Romania 0-2 Netherlands Austria 2-1 Turkey

How do you work out who is 1st to 16th though - based on points, goal difference etc? Because that just makes being drawn in a tough group even more punishing. My idea from a few years ago was for the top 4 first place teams to get a bye into the last 8. The remaining 1st and all 2nd place teams (8 teams) play each other in a qualifier to play those teams in the last 8. Rewards those teams who have performed especially well in the groups with a rest and means it's just the top 2 from each group qualifying.

Thing is with Tyldesley is that he's the antichrist obviously but the likes of Matterface and Drury are his fault as well. Blood on his hands.

Exactly, I genuinely expected Gordon and Palmer to be getting 20+ minutes a game in the group stages on the basis they were among the best in their positions last season and bring attributes that aren't present in the starting 11. Southgate says he's trying to achieve a balance between including these young players and protecting them. Protecting them from what? These lads play at a higher level than vs Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia every single week.

Manager tells them to play "free attacking football" apparently.
