Well, despite the unpleasantness of last night, the football continues again today, with the other home nation, Northern Ireland, kicking off their campaign at 5pm. Turkey vs Croatia - 14.00 Poland vs N. Ireland - 17.00 Germany vs Ukraine - 20.00 Sweepstakes involved: Arnold_Lane_HCFC / Girt Bucket - TURKEY SimonGraysJacket / philhul - CROATIA originallambrettaman / Leon T Trout AFC - POLAND look_back_in_amber / Jimmy Graham's bald head - NORTHERN IRELAND Quill / Stockholm Tiger - GERMANY BrisbaneTiger / Sterling Archer - UKRAINE
Gone for a small stake treble: Turkey/Croatia BTTS & O2.5 match goals N. Ireland to score Germany O1.5 team goals Just over 7-1 for the treble. My main bet of England 0ver 1.5 team goals should have easily come in last night. But I guess that's the beauty/horror of football betting.
Rakitic is a very good player, underrated. Croatia definitely living up to the dark horse tag so far.
Croatia doing what we did last night - having the chances, not putting them in. Also, did anyone else hear a few seconds of opera music, or have my drugs kicked in?
FT 1-0 Croatia should've won much more comfortably, dealt with Turkey well in the final stages. Similar to England, without the capitulation at the death.
I remember watching the 1982 Spain verses Northern Ireland game in The Blue Bell in Cott. Started pretty similar to this game in actual fact.
Good defence from NI. He's not Lewandowski but that Arkadiusz Milik looks a pretty good player. Good goals record at Ajax, 6"3, 22 years old...get the cheque book out Brucey.
Some big clubs looking at him, think Dortmund want him. He's a top striker though and there's no harm in us trying. As I predicted, NI are being outclassed. I don't fancy their chances against Germany or Ukraine either.
