I watched Belgium Sweden too, as a neutral was the obvious choice. Did turn over for the last 5 mind of Italy Ireland and that 5 minutes was pretty compelling.

England, Germany, Spain, Italy, France all on one side of the draw. Croatia and Belgium on the other side. Unusually lopsided.

I didnt see the goal.
The kids next door, theyre that kinda magic age for a summer tournament, three of them between 8 and 11, no girls no work schools out and nothing matters but this.
They watch tv on terrestrial feed. Three seconds ahead of me.
One. Hoolahan has the ball at his feet on the right.
Screams. Like all the lost boys at once. Hunh?
Two. The ball's in the air. I can see a green shirt in its flight path if it misses that defender.
Screams are going on long. Longer than the penalty shout. Longer than the near misses. Theres no edge to them, just sheer jubilation.
Three. The ball is on Brady's head. I don't see the goal. I'm already crying.

Co-commentator: Mark LawrensonI met Lawrenson last year and he’s a lovely man, so it genuinely pains me to be part of the chorus of voices calling for the poor sod to be put out of his misery. For some time now ‘Lawro’ has given the impression of someone who simply doesn’t like football anymore, or does like it but sees commentating as a really good way to audition for the role of sarcastic team captain on a BBC Two panel show. He’s now also slipped into making really bizarre remarks, such as suggesting the Sweden defender Andreas Granqvist “went down like custard” during their 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland. Seriously, let’s bring him home.Rating 3/10

I mean, if you're Irish, I guess.
i found this strange too. i was thinking it was a bit fancy and we needed that extra body in the jump zone (box).
