When England come up against a half decent team, they'll get horsed. Average at best. My thoughts as well.. Not saying wales are shit but if we we're struggling against them I mean...

There haven't been any teams who've really stood out as great to be honest, quality has been pretty poor so far. Not complaining, I'm making a killing on under 2.5 and under 3.5 goals bets (come in every game so far and looks like it'll be coming in again in this game). Started the tournament with a tenner and up to over £300 now.

Seriously, how do they determine the "best 4" of the 6 teams that finish 3rd if they are tied with one another for points, etc.
It just seems like a half baked idea that only some of the 3rd place finishers go through....

I feel like justice was done today for England's campaign.
We drew with Russia due to a 90th minute equalizer after playing well and deserving to win.
Today, we won against Wales due to a 90th minute winner after playing like shit and deserving to draw.
Balance restored, as we're practically into the Last 16.

We dominated in general, its always difficult to gauge when you play teams that sit very deep. I think we would do better against teams who leave us space in behind.

I agree with what you're saying but I don't think we played that bad. Everything got better when Vardy and Sturridge came on, hopefully they'll be starting against Slovakia.

Thank god it's friday. Slept well for the first time in a week. Looking forward to Belgium-Ireland tomorrow. Hoping we'll get the three points.. With that team we should be able to reach the quarters, but played so poor against Italy.

Made a nice amount betting on Italy and under 2.5 goals today. This Belgium team is overrated as fuck, great individuals but never play particularly well as a team, not helped by the fact they don't have any good natural full backs either (about the only positions they don't have any great players). Had a great first few days but between Belgium and Portugal have gone to shit! Can't back a winning side let alone bet. Take last night for example, I had Milik first goal, Poland win and a live treble of Germany/4+ cards/10+ Corners and the thing finishes nil fucking nil Have gone though my bank roll but why as another tenner, it's the euros

This is the most boring Euro edition ever. I don't know if it's the most boring ever, but it's definitely not a great one. W're still waiting for a match with more than 3 goals.

Croatia look very good although admittedly the Czech's aren't up to much. Modric and Rakitic is a world class midfield pairing.

You still shiting on about this?? It's happened in tournaments before. Just coz it hasn't been the normal in the 15 or so years you have watched football and not considered the norm. Get over it.

One of the few teams I've enjoyed watching so far. Some decent matches all round (bar that Italy Sweden one) but nothing outstanding. Hopefully this doesn't fizzle out 1-0, need another Croatia goal, preferably from Rakitic

I feel like the stupid rules are to blame for that. You can advance from group stage with three draws because only the teams that finish last and two teams that finish third are eliminated. Once you can realistically advance without winning (without scoring even), why take the risk? Especially true for the smaller teams.

Italy were shit today. Slow, unfocused... I can't understand what was wrong. Only two good actions during the whole game.

Now, we have had the first match with 4 goals. Bravo Czech Republic for the comeback. It's not over for them.

Done 2x Wincasts, pericic and Ratikic plus Croatia -1 in single bets. Actually lost the bet slip between the bookies and the house or in the house. Just before the first Czech goal I was having a look for it. Still on for a payout on the win cast. Put runners on to go to shop before someone who found slip cashed it in and then the stupid supporters throw the flares on the pitch. Wait a few mins of play, grab my keys and Vida handles it, peno, goal, non-winner again

Other than England, I'm not watching any other matches. Maybe when we get to the knock out stages I'll care.
Is it just me who feels disconnected to this England team? Maybe it's because it is harder due to following it from abroad, but I haven't cared about England since the golden generation of 1996-2006.
