Christ we should be winning at least 1-0 if not 2-0 at this stage.

Brilliant performance so far, more of the same in the second half please.

Near on shat myself when Clark scored the own goal.

Speaking of which, the toilets at the Stade de France make the one from Trainspotting look fucking luxurious.

Keogh should have played ahead of Clark, too many flashbacks of Villa's dreadful season triggered that equaliser I feel.

Not one shot on target for the Swedes, if we had just kept our concentration after the first goal we would have sent them back to IKEA.

Actually gutted we didn't beat Sweden today. Jeff Hendricks and Wes Hoolahan were fabulous today, but thought James McCarthy, Glenn Whelan and Seamus Coleman didn't do well at all.

We were by far the better team and created numerous chances. In the end we caused our own downfall allowing Sweden to raid forward time after time down their left hand side, Martin Olsson whipping ball after ball into the area and the pressure told in the end.

Maybe, just maybe, we can knick something against Belgium. Hazard and De Bruyne weren't at their best and hopefully that continues on Saturday.

Mertens was absolutely shocking, as was De Bruyne. Just kept having long shots when better balls were on

Italy generally do save their best for tournaments no matter what team they bring. They're always in with a shout imo

Italy being classic Italy.

Very solid at the back, for most part anyway and clinical up front.

Hope they've beaten Sweden and all but qualified come our game next Wednesday.

Russia will be disqualified from Euro 2016 if there is further crowd trouble at their remaining matches.

Uefa, European football's governing body, has given Russia a suspended disqualification and a 150,000 euro (£119,000) fine for disorder at the game against England in Marseille.

Russia were also charged for fan racism and lighting fireworks at the match.

Groups of Russia fans are being deported from France after repeated scenes of violence at Euro 2016.

The suspended disqualification and fine relate only to incidents that happened inside the stadium.

The decision is open to appeal, but Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko indicated that would not happen.

Mukto, who is also president of the Russian Football Union, said the country will comply with Uefa's decision, adding: "What other position can there be?"

French police blamed 150 "well-trained" Russian hooligans for clashes before England drew 1-1 with Russia on Saturday.

Six England fans were jailed on Monday for their roles in the disorder.

Over three days of disorder in Marseille, 35 people were injured - most of them England fans - and a total of 20 people were arrested.

Further trouble between England and Russia fans is anticipated given that both set to gather in Lille this week.

Russia play Slovakia in the city on Wednesday, while England fans will gather there ahead of Thursday's match against Wales in the nearby town of Lens.

French authorities have pledged to increase security in Lens by deploying 2,400 police, gendarmes, security guards and a riot squad.

Drinking alcohol in the streets has also been banned.

But Greg Dyke, chairman of the English Football Association, has expressed "serious concerns" about security in neighbouring Lille.

The British government has already said will send more British police officers trained in football disorder to France ahead of the match.

Russia has been in trouble with Uefa in the past.

It was handed a six-point deduction, suspended for three and a half years, after supporters behaved badly during Euro 2012.

The russians still seem to think English fans are the same as they were in the 70s and 80s.

The fact there's been fighting in Lille being Russian and English/Welsh fans hardly inspired confidence.

Wait, isn't that the norm with most tournaments they enter? Iceland defended superbly well throughout. Great point for them.

Really good effort from Iceland last night, and brilliant to hear Ronaldo complaining. Maybe you should have put one of your chances away if you didn't like seeing Iceland celebrating at the end.....

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo hit out at Iceland's lack of ambition after the two sides drew 1-1 at Euro 2016.

The Real Madrid player also refused to shake the hands of the Iceland players after the group match in Saint-Etienne.

"I thought they'd won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end," he said.

"It was unbelievable. We tried hard to win the game and Iceland didn't try anything. This, in my opinion, shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition."

Such a prick, would love it (Keegan) if they didn't even get through the group which they're certainly more than capable of doing but no doubt they'll cheat there way through one way or another.
