Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

trying to work out which footballer is most like a gannet, might be andy carroll

Busquets would be one of those nuisance birds that consistently up in your shit, maybe an arctic tern or something.

saw loads of crested larks yesterday at the tombs of the kings, as celebrated by st f of assisi as redolent of the humble friars going busily about their business, obtaining their corn etc. i thereby dub ngolo kante a crested lark

busquets is self-evidently a starling

a thieving magpie, though with better footwork, and possibly less ambivalent about the relative merits of the colours white and black

lol fine or that

arctic terns migrate like twenty thousand miles a year, that is hardly up in anyone's shit

giaccherini looks great imo, and was great the other night. and yet... sunderland.

he is a hoopoe, much at home on the continent but faced with the wearside chill decidedly flighty

oooooh sweet

Gertcha.

what a goal

what happened the defender there, did he kind of slip or something?

they've been poor but when you defend like italy do always gonna have a good chance

like the brazilian eder

that was the most pissweak central defending of the tournament so far

Hodgson looks more like a hen imo

Laying a big fat Rooney egg.

lol, a powerful and truthful image

it was amazing that rashford, sturridge, vardy and rooney were all on the pitch at once yesterday

lol cech stopping the ball with his head

croatia lovely to watch

those 15 pts that cech was gonna gain arsenal never really materialized did they? unless arsenal were even worse than i thought.

And there it is.

lovely

Is Modric the best midfielder in the world right now?

him and iniesta have been a clear level or two ahead of any others in this tourney so far.

I would have said Kroos as well but I didn't see yesterday's game.

Wes Hoolahan, yo

settle down lads, 2-0 is plenty

since when were the czechs this abject

shit i used that adjective earlier

since when were the czechs this redolent of geese

altho geese know how to stay in formation so

we got there

mandzukic is such an injury-faking cunt, who knew

ah rats' cocks

altho geese know how to stay in formation so

saw a large flock of Canada geese flying in a nice v formation at sundown few days ago as i blazed a bifter on my roof. well coordinated, and they like to communicate with one another, many a call was heard.

even more unlike the czech defence with each word

lol have you read fergie's book? loved to use a canadian geese analogy when talking to players.

Plenty of time for a 3rd

hoping they come back now as punishment for mandukic's absurd play-acting tho

Milan Skoda is such a great name. The sort of thing you'd make up if you were writing a shoddily researched 80s spy thriller.

Clattenburg gets his moment in the limelight.

Wonder if these flares do contain lime

I got the fright of my life for a sec when I heard that explosion

this commentator is so earnest

Yes Clatts

ffs

This will be so sweet

lol bottle job

Utterly deserved for Croatia there
