    He said...there's not enough contact to go over like that (or something very similar)

    When asked 'would you go down'...his response was yes....<laugh>.

    It's bad enough that he says it once ...

    ... but he repeats everything three times almost in the same sentence.

    And when he states the blindingly obvious he'll say, 'And I'll tell you this', as if only he could possibly see it <doh>

    How confident would we be playing Slovakia ...

    ... we've only just scraped results in a very week group tbh.

    Wouldn’t be betting my life on it but more confident than against Holland. I mean last 16 against Slovakia is really as good as it gets…usually…

    I’d rather play Netherlands
    - at least they would attack us and we would have to play well.

    I was looking forward to playing an attacking team, these bloody hard Eastern Europeans have been hard bastards to beat !

    Think you’re right on this one. Watching England is like watching the lads. Play better against teams that have a go, struggle against those that sit in their own box.

    Kvaratskhelia is some player
    His value will be increasing by the minute here, out of our league I imagine.

    Most of the Georgian players and supporters seem to have facial hair of one kind or another ...

    ... the women aren't much different tbh <laugh>

    Tbf we’ve been on the back foot for half a game against Serbia and the majority of the Denmark game, didn’t look threatening on the break at all really, got the players though, you’d think we’ll turn up eventually.

    georgia have been outstanding tonight, gave everything.

    Got to agree. Not to take away the quality they showed but every player just grafting for every minute. Was enjoyable to watch tbh, brilliant result

    They have sorted us out TBF. Slovakia for us instead of Netherlands.

    Not that any of those teams are pushovers but Holland have got very lucky considering they finished 3rd. Probably as nice as we could have hoped for for a route to the final. Would think we’ll be favourites every game, just got to find our form

    Only team that have impressed me on our side of the draw are Austria.
