    You mean that he can't be our player anymore because he's done too well. Considering that some think him over-hyped, I believe I would be right in saying that, so far, he's had a tournament of about 10 times the quality that Harry Kane has. Or am I being a little modest for Graziano about that.? ;)

    Which just means that he won't be our player come the new season. We'll see. He's got a year left. Perhaps we'll ask him to stay for another or two. :)

    And remember Cedric too while you're apologising to Fran. ;)

    I was supporting Italy and England, but had a big soft spot for the other teams of the British Isles. Now it has dwindled down to Italy and Wales. If those two go out of the competition I suspect it will have to be Portugal, simply because Jose and Cedric are present. If they all go out I might lose interest.

    Exactly my view too. However, Ronaldo makes the last bit difficult.

    Doesn't bother me. I don't join in with the CR7 bashing. I'll give you an example why. When he was at ManU there was a season or two when He and Rooney were on a level. However, his attitude to making himself a better player saw him become World Class and Rooney to become the shadow that he is today. CR7 is only just beginning to falter from his lofty position and Rooney hasn't even been the poorer player, he eventually became, for several years. So when C.Ronaldo has his attitude, I kind of cut him some slack, because he's earned some. Even at 31 he's still trying to be the best player he can be, even if he is all too aware that he's the best Portuguese player in the team. Which he is, of course. :)

    Put it another way, if there was an English CR7, he could have all the attitude he wanted.

    I think I can work out which incident you were referring to. I was up in arms myself, but not quite as much as the Italians who were sitting around me! (Thankfully because of Pelle, I'd already picked the correct team to support).

    Very good game to attend.

    Probably a bit late. The bandwagon is already full. :)

    Ok, down to the last 8. With no England left who are we going to support. Do you support home nation team Wales or are you fed up with some of their banter and comments.

    Some of you still hold an interest in the not606 Euro sweepstakes.

    Poland v Portugal, DTLW v Tom
    Wales v Belgium, Davecg 69 v Jacksk1
    Germany v Italy, saint Helen v : Jaidi
    France v Iceland, The liebherr legacy v Fatletiss

    Good luck

    Apparently Sterling has his own barber 'shop' in his house.

    Blimey, imagine the PRESSURE of being Graziano's barber mind you...
