Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

Yay!

YEAH

:D

There are some slack defences in this tournament

I blame EU freedom of movement

Is anyone actively rooting for Portugal here?

Inasmuch as it affects my Predictor score but not with huge conviction. I like Cron tho

You've got your priorities straight then. I predicted a Portugal loss bcz fuck cron etc

sorry I can see now it's sponsorship. in the lower third. there's a Hisense one too. i didn't realise the BBC was allowed to do that. i know it's not their feed but still. when they cover T In The Park they use their own made-up logo rather than the one with the Tennent's 'T'

fucking sublime moment down the right side there for the brundsunderssons

Probably it not being their picture feed is what makes the difference. Had noticed Hisense but not Orange

Kari Arnason used to be a reliably great lower league signing round about Football Manager 2013

oh god here it comes

oh ffs stop fouling

LOL Cron

haha Naldo ass

That's what you call a coupon-buster. Portugal almost reliably effete

nice of Cron to offer his congratulations to the heroic Icelanders

The Group of Life

Portugal got sonned

@rvkgrapevine GOALIE LIKE THE CLIFF FACE AT DYRHÓLAEY THE ONLY THING THAT WILL DESTROY HIM IS CENTURIES OF COASTAL EROSION. #ISL #Euro206

*clicks follow*

Cristiano Ronaldo: "Iceland only tried to defend... they had two chances and then did not try to score."
More Ronaldo: "They celebrated like they had won the Euro cup or something. That's a small mentality. That's why they'll do nothing."

I'm sad for CR, I wish he could be happier or something.

He can't be happy because he'll go to his grave knowing that everyone considered him the world's second best footballer.

I love the flourish of calling out the team from a nation of 300k for their small mentality, like thanks very much cron, that's deep

lol

I really hope they nick a win against Austria and/or Hungary. They are terrible passers of the ball but look organised defensively and Gylfi can take a good free kick so you never know.

Thought Slovakia were decent vs Wales. Love Hamsik.

Hamsik / Kucka / Weiss are all very good but I think Russia will have a decent chance if Dzyuba gets the service he needs.

Wait has this stadium got a roof cos it doesn't look like daylight there?

Yes, it has been raining so they put the roof on.

What is this tennis or smthg? What is the world etc

Come on you Slovaks.

F'kn hell, it's Lawrenson.

Russia have been quite good. Their manager really has the Leo Mazzone's going on tho.

Ooh excellent goal Weiss.

Lawrenson: "We're going to see this goal 17 times, you realise that?"

Yes, but we don't mind that because we like football, unlike you, you miserable twat.

His berating of Guy Mowbray for imparting knowledge ("you shouldn't know that") while referring to about half the players on the pitch as "that boy" is doing my fucking nut in.

Show what one 18 times.

'that one'

Lol, yes. If the BBC is to be downsized can we start with lawro and Alan green who go to tournaments with the sole purpose off conveying how much they aren't, enjoying it.

HAMSIK golazo¡!!!!!!!!!!!

holy shit

Yep. Game over.

Just lovely

good riddance tbh.

tho i guess you can prob qualify with 3 or 4 points

Yes. If England win next two games and Russia beat Wales they would finish second.

They're really missing Dzagoev. Dzyuba and Smolov are good strikers and Kokorin is fast and direct but nobody is creating anything.

probly best all-round if the Russians get dumped out early doors. I think Wales have got enough to take them on the evidence of this first 1 and a half matches.

two very well taken goals from the Slovaks today, starting to get a bit concerned that England are gonna get turned over in these next 2 games

Yes, everybody wants to beat England, of course they do.
