Match Day Thread The Euro 2016 thread

Love these tournaments! Come on England!!

 

Was genuinely just about to post this myself You bastard OLM.

In terms of the quality involved, it should be the best Euros in quite a while. Hopefully it lives up to it.

 

Cam on England you facking cants!

 

Quill's predictions:

Favourites: France, Germany
Decent chances: Belgium, England, Italy, Portugal, Spain
Dark Horses: Austria, Croatia, Switzerland, Wales

 

Right, I'm going to try and predict the tournament, then I'll come back and see how close I was. Will put them in a spoiler box so that this post isn't too long.

Who did that free bet when your team wins outright bojack?

I forgot to do it

 

You mean come on Ireland, to be sure

 

Love it.


Too bad it appears he's on the bench and ****ing Lallana and Sterling are starting.

 

Paddy Power are absolutely brilliant at this shock PR.

 

I usually watch nearly every game in the tournament but there's too many teams now, too many minnows.

 

Can we have a reverse dark horse? I'm going for Belgium not to get out of their group.

 

Spain have got absolutely no chance! Poor in qualification, poor in prep games and who can forget world cup 2 years ago!
Germany have too many defensive injuries to go all the way so my tip is
France, Belgium or England to win it.
Dark horses Austria and Wales.

 

Any fancy sticking their neck out on the 'surprise' player of the tournament? There's always someone who rises to prominance, and it doesnt have to be a 'no namer', I just mean not one of the real superstars.

The way he's been playing Kinglsey Coman could be a good shout.

 

I dont get it. Or is the fanzine free of charge?
