    Spain is the only side I really fear. So it's all good.

    It's Iceland I'm worried about.

    We won one and drew two....on paper that sounds okay-ish....but we should have won all three. We need to be more clinical and also lucky. Let's hope that happens in the next round.

    Crouch spent all that money on his teeth, and you still can't hear him when he speaks.

    We've failed to beat Russia and Slovakia and got lucky against Wales. What makes you think it will be easy against Portugal?

    Someone mentioned earlier that the ball seems to behave like a beach ball at times, it seems a bit tricky to cross it properly and so many shots heading for row z?

    They won't park the bus. We've played three teams who have parked the bus.

    The draws were disappointing but we looked pretty good tonight. Very good at times. We have a strong squad who have struggled to score against determined defences, but I'm confident it will all fall into place.

    We've conceded twice against teams that park the bus, I wonder what will happen vs a team that actually attacks

    To be fair, we do play some beautiful football at times like when we dicked all over Bournemouth for 60 minutes.... But at other times, it's pretty painful to watch.

    Just like we pissed all over Russia and Slovakia?

    One was a free kick that should have been saved.

    We did piss all over Russia and Slovakia, we just couldn't break them down. Portugal won't play like that.

    Portugal, France, Spain, Germany, Belfium, Italy will not defend on their 6 yard box. We can score and create better chances against those sides. Vardy et al will have more chance on the counter.

    My only concern then will be can we defend against them?
