The Football.....

[rich p]

Rather that than be like a certain neighbour whose media have a tendency to raise the expectations to a level whereby they expect to win every tournament they play in....

Is that true? I don't read the papers any more but I've not seen or heard that sort of thing anecdotally.
All my footballing friends have a gallows type humour about the quality of the England team and expectations are realistically low.
Mind you, everyone I know bar one, voted Remain so they may not be a representative bunch for all I know.

Did anyone catch the Icelandic commentary of their last group game? Fantastic!

This "worst Italian team in fifty years" are looking very good. Although have to say also that it looks like Spain are on the decline.

Before the Championships started, I watched a documentary where the Belgian manager told the team that it was important to play as individuals and dont worry about being a team. He also said that he doesnt care who scores the goals. The whole team has the ability to score.

I nailed my colours to their mast after that.

They are known as The Golden Team, but refuse to call themselves that until they win something.

Enjoyed the Italy game..Spain are the worst team in the tournament for diving and Italy are close behind.
why cant this be carded out? Reds work well on cheating

At 17/2 for Iceland to win at FT you'd be a fool not to!
