The Football.....

shaping up to be quite a good tournament so far. Hope Belgium don't turn up again tomorrow would like to see ROI get a result.

I've got Belgium in the sweepstake at work so need them to win.

Can anyone explain how the 3rd place teams are sorted?

I think by win/loss and goal difference.

I took Morata out of my sun dream team earlier this week.

I put £1 on him to score first and won a whopping £4.80.

Correct...

Seems that 4 out of the 6 3rd place teams go through.

Same as in the World Cup I think - of all the 3rd placed teams the top 4 ranked by co-efficient go through.

Footballers vs. stretchers

Republic of Ireland need to improve second half but 0 - 0 will do for the moment....

0-0 will do at FT for me.

EDIT:- Bollocks.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

very disappointing, I'm afraid Belguim were just too good for the Republic.....need to beat Italy which is possible but might need a few goals which will be a tad more difficult...

I hope ROI don't upset our new manager - we need him on a roll (which I've spelt right this time).

Iceland have taken the lead against Hungary.

Fun game to watch - maybe not the greatest quality, but lots of tension. Draw a fair result for me.

I'm needing Mr Ronaldo to bring his scoring boots with him tonight please.
A decent couple of winning bets last night (over 2.5 goals and Spain first to 7 corners), but I then stuck the winnings on Tommy Seymour scoring a try against Japan. Which didn't quite go to plan. The Japanese player who got yellow carded for knocking the ball forward just as it was being passed to Seymour for an easy try (and which resulted in a penalty try being awarded) is not my favourite person at the moment...

It would appear Mr Ronaldo is wearing my football boots...

I despair - "the Austrian players have every right to be arguing with the ref there...". No, no they don't. Accept it and move on. Arse.

Ronaldo is a big nobhead. I may have said that before.

He is.

However he is a big nobhead who needs to score a fecking goal tonight.
