Euro 2016 tournament thread

I'd imagine it'd be to maximise viewing figures for the home nation when you think the majority work 9-5 jobs, the later the kick off will suit France better.

"Small mentality".

Cristiano Ronaldo obv. forgets Iceland are the smallest (or one of) nations ever to compete in the Euros. They defended for their lives throughout as I'm sure most people expected too and then managed secure an excellent point against a much superior opponent. They can celebrate how they wanted at full time. Ronaldo can dry his fucking eyes and I hope Portugal crash out at the group stages but won't happen.


No one is interested in Russia vs. Slovakia?

And speaking about Russia/Slovakia, I tried watching it but turned it off after 20-odd minutes. Naff all happened.

So Russia are shit and it was really, really bad we didn't beat them.

Hamsik, my word.

Seferovic is awful.

Swiss aren't as good as I thought they'd be. Slovakia to win group B?

Collymore running around the streets of Lille filming on Periscope cracking out the GCSE french, Clouseau style! "Journalisteee, journalisstteee!"

This game has been utter pants. Not a single shot on target in the opening hour ffs.

Fuck was literally checking the odds on France when they scored

Bailed out of jail again the French, can see them doing a Brazil where they ride their luck until they get battered in the semis.

Tbf they were absolutely battering Albania for the last 20 minutes, goal was coming.

Surprisingly actually playing with passion, they'll go far and Payet to be player of the tournament.

Anyone else incredibly tense about the England Wales game this afternoon!? Awaiting the team line up news just watching twitter and BBC sport

Nah, mate.

I'm nervous about seeing us (potentially) get a hiding against Ukraine though.

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing Northern Ireland get dominated....again

I've always maintained that I'd be happy with getting at least a point from the group stages, or at least scoring a goal.

I actually think Northern Ireland can withstand the Ukrainians, best chance of them getting a point from these championships. Would be delighted if Wales get one over the English and send them potentially packing. Poland to beat Germany?

Rumours suggesting England are unchanged ahead of the Wales game! Very disappointed if this is correct!

What does Vardy have to do to get a start? So f*ckig nervous for this game. I feel sick.

We'll win 3-0.

ENG XI: Hart, Walker, Cahill, Smalling, Rose, Alli, Dier, Rooney, Sterling, Kane, Lallana

WAL XI: Hennessey, Gunter, Taylor, Davies, Chester, Williams, Allen, Robson-Kanu, Ramsey, Bale, Ledley.

No surprised at all with the team, hope he actually gets the subs right this time though

Hopefully Kane isn't taking all the set pieces again and Sterling can complete more than 2 passes this time.

COME ON ENGLAND

Alli being a dick already.

Now Walkers turn for a needless foul ffs

And that is why Vardy should start over Sterling.

That is why Sterling shouldn't even be in the squad.

If anyone knows harry kane in person.....


Please please please tell him he can't take free kicks, he's no Beckham

That is shocking from Hart
