:rofl I just this second opened this thread and thought exactly the same thing.
Pepe and Ronaldo a right pair!
I think the tournament is pretty open, no stand out team and lots of tough underdogs doing well. Should be interesting. No-one has mentioned the Italians they always do well.

local youths and the French police provoked it the first 2 nights, now the Russians want some! :old:.
Fancy telling a bunch of half cut football fans to stop serving alcohol because they were singing too loudly.
Dam Fun police if you ask me.
Come on England! :D

it's all made worse by the media and social media making a big deal of it.
Worse happens in cardiff (insert any other city) on a Friday night.
You are right of course hopefully the English team can do their talking on the pitch for once. :devil

What is with Portugal? Can only manage 2 draws > Iceland and Austria.
one man team and if he is in a sulky sad face mood they do badly. It must be frustrating for him and bale to be playing with such rubbish team mates :D

Wales finishing top is an outrage but I guess they deserved it. England playing keep ball whilst the opposition park the bus. Hopefully we can score some more goals in the knockout rounds. :pray Either way we remain in the Euros. :D
Hopefully we get Portugal just to kill Ronaldo. :devil

well my bets made it through to the knockouts but I'm not impressed with Portugal messing up Iceland's chances in the next round.
Feel a bit sorry for Wales vs N.Ireland but I guess one of them will be guaranteed a QF place which they would have taken before the start of the tournament.
The draw does seem a bit lop sided but we can't say the French fixed it because they are in that half. Should make for some entertaining matches!
PS: Did anyone happen to see Lionel Messi's free kick in the 0-4 demolition of the USA? Pure genius.

THIS is exactly what soccer means to me. It is not about the players it is about the conduct of the fans. The destruction they cause the world over is disgusting. Soccer needs to clean its game up. When I lived in the UK we had to endure violence in the city centre every time there was a match on. I do not miss that one bit.

I did. Big fan of watching Messi (and Barcelona) play so it was bittersweet to watch the US lose. But Argentina is #1 in the world so it's kinda expected. US still has a shot at third which for us would be a big accomplishment. Hell even 4th would be huge. :)

Ireland beat Italy. Now would it not be something if they beat France also. Riots if that happens.
Italy rested half their team and had already qualified. Can't see Ireland beating a full strength French team. Providing England navigate Iceland carefully it will be a France vs England QF in Paris. :eek:

At defending for sure but you cant win games if you dont convert possession into goals which has been englands problem all tournament how to break down teams playing counter attack.
Im looking on the positive side rooney and joe hart shouldnt be in the next tourny and we have lots of promising young players that should mature before the next WC.
As Iceland were one of my picks I hope they go on and do well.

bah les Bleus totally deserved it. It was a penalty, it looked harsh at first but the replay clearly showed he was attempting to prevent the French player from getting a clean header and the ball hits his hand.
The German incident was outside anyway. The French looked more creative and Giroud wasted a couple of easy 1vs1 opportunities. Could have easily been 4-0.
So the final, everyone has France as solid favourites but Portugal seem to have some kind of voodoo luck preventing them from getting Knocked out. A hard one to predict for sure.

Portugal wins. Set up by a bad call (hand ball) on a French player - Portuguese player should have had the hand ball.
