Ok Big Sam, you take a dive, and we give you a big brown envelope with lots of rubles in it! We know that you are a greedy type who can't refuse a backhander, so how about it?

That's outrageous libel... Big Sam would never have got England to the semis!

I believe there was an Ikea trashed somewhere too. Unfortunately, there are those from the lower end of the human spectrum who will use any mass event as an excuse for mindless hooliganism.

And during my youth I have to admit their were occasions when I was one of them, much to my regret.

Actually, the Ikea story was some over excited England fans went down to their local Ikea (Stratford) and jumped up and down on the beds. Just a some people getting a little bit carried away that's all. No one was hurt. No one was punched. Nothing was trashed.

This. I don't know whether to be impressed or dismayed that a total non story has made it's way onto this forum, and in a way that paints football fans as twats.

When I first heard that rumour I was expecting it to have been the Glasgow Braehead branch; trashed because of the abject failure of the Swedish team to wake up to the threat of the English team on Saturday .

I reckon a team from IKEA could have made more of a game of it.

So what's the opinion on France v Belgium? I reckon the French will do it.

 

[smutchin]

I’ve been saying Belgium will win it since before the tournament started and see no reason to change my mind now.

France will give them a real test though. Should be a good game.

I reckon the French are only slim favourites. Belgium have the personnel to win. If England get through they’d be better playing Belgium than France.

I backed Belgium at the start just to reach the final at 6/1 but I think its going to be close maybe 2-1 either way.
