Unlucky tonight St Badger, still reckon Romania will go through. Congratulations to France for being the first team through the last 16...
Which will be a worry for France. Didn't much look like breaking them down but for that. Mind you, we know how hard it is to break down a well organised, stubborn team. Really should have played Coman from the off
You do realise, if Payet stars and France win the competition, West Ham fans will claim to have won Euro 2016 alongside the World Cup in 1966....
Well done France. What took you so long? TBH that's the first time I've seen Romania play, and even then I only saw the second half. Are the other teams, in the group, worse? Thought "my boys" we're very disorganised, and lacking a proper shape, especially in midfield.
Ok Whiteley, my Austrian mate says they use this: "Immer wieder Osterreich" for football in the way we use "Come on England" and the French, "Allez Les Beus"
was said last night that there was an 87% chance of going through if you got three 0-0 draws. _______________________________________ Please, nobody tell Roy that!
Haha Danny Baker on Glenn Hoddle 'if you had a shot every time he said something inciteful you could drive home with a clear conscience!'
Agree - because I like the fact that it becomes a real knockout for the last 16. This has got to be better than straight into a quarter finals from the groups. This, coupled with the number of decent teams who have one or two outstanding players, means it should be a better showcase both on an individual and team basis. One off cup ties always give the chance of an upset and anyone who gets through the groups is only three matches from the final - anything could happen.
Swiss 1-0 up early on. The way they've started is how I wish England would play - getting the ball forwards quickly. A few times they could have passed it sideways along the backline but instead the full backs race up and they work the ball quickly to the wings in advanced positions. Hope Roy does something similar!
Albania making a match of it now. Switzerland took their foot off before they really applied it, and Albania have crept into the match.
