So we are off and running.

Thought I'd create a thread where all matters relating to the tournament (apart from Scotland which has it's own thread) can go.

Almost half time in ?? v ?? game.

All Italy but still no break through.

Italians have looked really good so far. Will they make the break through or will the Turks hit them with the classic sucker punch ?

 

French hit bar with last kick of normal time. Great half of football. Extra time coming up.

There is not a cat in halls chance that the Guffies v Huns game tomorrow will come anything close to the entertainment level provided by today's couple of games.

With all the goals today would not want to have a ticket for tomorrow’s games as bound to be 0-0……

France v Switzerland goes to penalties.

France out on penalties. Mbappe missing last penalty for French. Big shock. 

How many decades will this result go on for?

???

Provided Eglandshire don't win the tournament it will go on until the next time Germany hump them.
The 5-1 game in Munich seemed to be consigned to the archives following the 4-1 game in the 2010 world cup

Switzerland and Denmark have been awesome.

Hard to write Belgium off though.

Can anyone explain how the fuck England get FOUR home games in a row???

Think Denmark are only hope of England not getting to final as cannot see Ukraine beating them from what I saw last night.

That and potentially the weight of entitlement and expectation of a nation.

If they show signs of fucking up watch how quickly the Guffies will turn on them.

They're really not that great a team.

Germany should've scored 2 goals at least.

Neither Portugal nor Greece were any great shakes either but they managed to win the Euros...a good path to the final, don't concede and take your chances (and getting both the semi and final at a full Wembley) helps.

Guffies might be playing the semi and final at Wembley but the trophy will be heading to the same place they're playing their quarter-final. 

Belgium 3-1

 

Switzerland 2 Spain 2

 

Switzerland win in extra time.

 

?

Spain 1-0 up on Switzerland.

Complete fuck up at the back by Spain and it’s 1-1.

Switzerland down to 10. Another one that would not even have been a foul a couple of years ago never mind a red card. It’s almost a non contact sport now.

Penalties in Spain v Switzerland game.

Spain win 3-1 on penalties. 

Justice is done

3-1 Spain on penalties.

Belgium v Italy been excellent so far. End to end stuff.

1-0 Italy. Great finish by Barella.

2-0 Italy with a great strike from Insigne. 

2-1 now. Belgium back into it from the spot Lukaku.

Not sure I'd say justice, it was a dodgy red that allowed them to bus the remaining game. They were fairly average before that. I reckon Ukraine could give them a good run.

Fantastic game just now, Italy look great and the winner of this should win the tournament.
