" “The result is unacceptable, unstomachable – no one wants a tiny isolationist island getting through to the next round – it must not stand,” he told us.

“No-one told the players they needed to do their bit on the pitch and score more than the opposition – in a situation as important at this the other team should have to score at least two more than England in order to secure a victory.

“It’s just so unfair that the result isn’t the one I wanted – can we go back to the bit when we were still in Europe, please?” "



Oh, my... oh, my... oh, my... ! Surely 'tis a jest? Regardless, it is exceedingly funny...

And here I thought I was as disappointed as the next person that England was out of the Euros' - but apparently not!

(That's not even comparing how I feel about Spain being out - but Italy played very well and won fair & square. I am pleased that I think Spain played well too, and could have scored - but they didn't; "Close shoots no bird." And it is what it is. But at least Spain is Spain yet again. That is comforting to me.)

Oh, and I clean forgot what I came here to post in the first place:

I blame Brexit, the English looked totally distracted.
Amazing fight from Iceland! But I doubt that they can beat France.

Poor good old England got beaten by the team from the country which has more volcanoes than professional footballers.

[Alexz]

Iceland fans + their national footbal team = that's got to be about 40% of the Icelandic male population in that stadium. Good time to invade. If you're into that sort of thing. :sarcasm:

:agree:

I think their coach is Swedish.

 

[LRK]

He is - but doesn't he have an Icelandic assistant? And/or one could count Lagerbäck as honorary Icelandic for the duration of the tournament.

Even then, what about GK Coach, Fitness Coach, Physiotherapist, Nutritionist, Kit Manager, Equipment Manager? Multitasking must be in order.

And the jailed bankers are at least 29, the last time I heard.

 

[LRK]

Well, it's just statistics being ever unreliable... ne'er more so where jailed bankers are concerned.

 

[HanDomi]

POLAND goal in 2 min !! Yes
1-1 after 1st half


one of comination actions from Poland was insane, shame it didn't ended with goal

 

[Krunchii]

I can't help but laugh at fans chanting Messi at Ronaldo even though it is kind of cruel

 

[LRK]

So, I suppose Portugal should be pushing to decide the match during play - while Poland probably wouldn't mind penalties as much.

 

[LRK]

Ugh, penalties just make me quesy... And I don't even have any particular preferences!

 

[sneakers]

drats I was rooting for Poland

looks like Germany again will win, unless Italy makes a surprise and knock them out
in QF

 

[LRK]

Well, I like Germany, so I won't mind them winning the tournament. (I like Italy as well, so the Germany-Italy match is again one of those lose-lose matches for me, though.)

But for my random-why-the-heck-not-guess I'm still going with a Portugal-Iceland final.

So, Wales versus Belgium today. (Or tonight?)

in Semis

Actually Germany plays Italy in QF And I do count on Italy to knock them out, like 4 years ago To be fair, Poland didn't play very well, bo so wasn't Portugal, and whoever wins the second QF (Wales-Belgium) should have no bigger problems in semis with Portugal. I'm predicting Wales for win unless Belgium will go with Carrasco in first squad, then Belgium will win

LRK, I would love to see Iceland in Final! And even for the win! That would be better than Greece winning in 2004 :dance: And I'm saying this as a big Squadra Azzurri fan.

Certainly would be better for me - seeing as I didn't enjoy Greece's game one iota in 2004.
