Probably the standout individual performance of the tournament by Hazard tonight

 

Definitely now

Almost peak Messi from him tonight. Taken the absolute p*ss out of Hungary.

 

Calm down.

Feel so sorry for Hungary finishing top of their group and having to play Belgium. Enjoyed watching them play this tournament, been much more entertaining than the majority of teams

 

:thup:

 

They've been a credit to the tournament.

Said almost ;) Easily a 10/10 performance anyway.

Aye, for sure. They've given a great account of themselves too unlike Slovakia.

To be fair Slovakia were entertaining in the Russia and Wales game. There were other teams like Switzerland and Portugal I was thinking of for boringness

Sad to see us go out today, game just got away from us in ten minutes early in the second half. Could easily have turned into a thumping in the end but I think that would have been harsh on us after the amount that the players put in to the last two games.

 

Last Wednesday and the celebrations that followed it will live long in the memory, very few goals that I've celebrated like I did Brady's goal against Italy.

 

Definitely think the nation can be proud of how the players represented us. 2012 was an awful tournament for us. We got easily beaten in all three games but what really stung was how we played in them. Just sitting back, trying to defend for our lives and waiting for teams to find a way through. This time we approached the games so much better (barring the Belgium game, apparently. I didn't actually see it as I had a work thing I couldn't get out of) and tried to actually win games. We definitely got a huge slice of luck getting Italy when they had nothing to play for but it was a hell of a result regardless. Would any of our players get in the Italy squad? I don't know enough about the Italian squad to say but I'd be inclined to doubt it.

 

We don't have enough ability in the squad to play expansive, technically demanding football. We have a few players in Coleman, Long, Brady and Hoolahan who actually do have some ability on the ball but by and large it's a team of players that need to work very hard and play for each other if we're going to have any chance against really quality teams. I feel that they all did exactly that over the last couple of weeks and as a fan I don't really think you can ask for much more than that.
