Thought that we needed a thread for all things Euro related. Just 4 days til the start and 5 days til we play Russia Come on you lions!
I reckon we'll win our group, Russia second and Wales will go through as one of the better third teams. Winners of our group play sat 25th June Runners up play on mondn27 th June Third place could see a fixture on Sunday or Saturday 26/25th
Depends on bale really, He can win a match for them sometimes from a moment of brilliance. Although not as dangerous as Ronaldo
I've gone for Bale in my fantasy league, if they don't progress I have 11 million to transfer into knockout rounds. But I think they are going to shock teams bit like Greece 2004. They won't win it but I suspect teams will think they can rest players when playing them. England I think will do well, part of me would like to see them win, but the other part will hate the constant talking about it for the next 50 years. Trust me it's boring listening to it and means **** all as I was only a few days old and can't remember it.
And of course ROD the Welsh never bang on about their rugby sides who have won grand slams from time to time do they..... I think if Wales ever won the Rugby World Cup, they would still be 'banging on' about it 50 years time as well.
I doubt Walea would ever win the World Cup, I don't think they ever qualify. The other country that sounds similar called Wales might though loads will bang on about it, and they will piss me off as much as you.
Don't let's forget Northern Ireland their achievement is better than any bodies for the size of their nation, I'm making them my 2nd team.
As always with England, we'll probably get to the quarter finals and lose on penalties, however I hope we don't have dodgy lineup tomorrow with everyone out of positions just to accommodate Rooney.
I would of thought if Northern Ireland, Wales or Albania got to the final then they will have a chance
Though I think Wales could well spring a surprise, I'm also thinking that you may be right. They may have qualified impressively, but their form is actually quite poor - 2 wins from their last 8 matches, those being away at Cyprus and home against Andorra. I think they'll go all out in the England game though - they may not say it, but they'll consider it to be possibly the biggest game in their history, whereas for us it's just another group game, albeit with an increased fear of embarrassment. I also think people are really underestimating Slovakia - they're a talented side that would give any team problems on their day (beat Germany 3-1 in a friendly recently), and far from the gimme some are making them out to be. I've gone for England to qualify (probably as group winners), take advantage of a favourable last 16 pairing but then lose in the quarters - because that's what we do isn't it?
I'll be severely disappointed if we don't qualify for the last 16 especially given the new format. I hope we're still in the competition by the time I've finished my exams. (quarter final stage)
Racist, it ain't all about you flops Wales kick off before that which is what me and Cidered are waiting for.
Good to see the news that our supporters are behaving like the arseholes they usually are when representing their country. I hope the French lock them up and throw away the key because in these troubled times we don't need them anymore. And here was me thinking the Euros were all about the beautiful game.
