My cousins will be delighted with this result!! Allez les verts!!

 

Quarter Finals...


Switzerland/Poland vs Croatia/Portugal



Wales/Northern Ireland vs Hungary/Belgium



Germany/Slovakia vs Italy/Spain



France/Ireland vs England/Iceland


What do we reckon?

 

Switzerland v Croatia
Wales v Belgium
Germany v Spain
France v England

 

So Turkey and Albania didn't make it, new system seems harsh despite it being fair. Turkey's 3-0 defeat to Spain has basically killed them.

 

Thanks a lot, fortunately I understand a little Dutch too!!! but yeah !"Thanks a Lot, nice one.

 

1/4 French. Ma Grandmere.

 

Which I'd suggest is fair enough. They lost two games, failing to even score in either. You shouldn't really be rewarded for that.

I look at it the other way somewhat; Portugal are exceptionally lucky to not win a single game, but not get knocked out. Really they should be following Turkey home too.

 

Love how Republic have bumped Norn Ireland out of the worst possible slot and into the best.

 

Meh! That's enough.....

 

Yeah, I agree, Portugal very lucky. I fancy Croatia to knock them out in the next round though.

 

A bit late, but many thanks for your input....Cheers!!!!

 

Wales v Northern Ireland has to be the pick of the matches. Really looking forward to that one, going to be a tasty affair!

 

She married an Irishman. T'was a volatile marriage.

 

I bet.

 

Going to be really interesting with a supposed 'weak' and 'strong' side to the draw. Some pretty tasty ties in there and it only takes one slice of luck, a bad decision, or penalties to get anyone through. With that in mind: France, Germany, England, and Wales are the 4 that I'd have real confidence in progressing as all the rest are competitive enough. Well maybe Hungary v Belgium less so, but if I had to pick one favourite to get chinned in the next round it'd be Belgium here. I've been really impressed with Hungary's counter attacking and playing as a team to a set system a la Leicester. Belgium may well walk into the trap.

 

Wales have a real chance of going a long way in the tournament

 

Yep.

Thanks again Roy.
