footie: Euro 2016

[Anonymous]

I made a mistake in the virtual lounge or Wanty's ... ... ... by saying England are into the knock-out part of the game ... well ... they arn't are they yet ... *eats humble pie* ... are they? ... ... ... after the pub this afternoon / early evening ... I now know England play on Monday, is it Turkey? ... & they can win or draw & they will be through to the next stage

this kinda thing from England gives me an attack of the heebie-jeebies

I shall watch the match on Monday with 'heart in mouth'

From the last major footie competition ie World Cup 2014 in was it Brazil? ... ... ... where we did not get out of the group stage (memory being excercised here) ... sumut to do with England's best players in the Premiership being foreigners & playing for their own countries 

This time around do we have some home-grown players to represent England? ... Vardi?

Sven was loyal to Beckham ... ... ... is Hodgson loyal to Rooney in the same way? ... ... ...

Oh well.... they tried at least!

Better in the first half...they seemed to lose momentum in the 2nd. All that aside they are a team to be proud of.

Well done to them for getting this far....

Really gutted but they can be damn proud of their performance in this tournament. Far exceeded everyone's expecations, though not their own. They had belief and pride and showed how different it could have been for England if they had the same spirit and determination.

Agreed guys. They and their fans can hold their heads up high today. Very proud of how they stuck in til the very end.. And that man Ronaldo   x

But what a header. It's just a shame the real Ronaldo decided to 'turn up' for this game. He has been poor up till now...

It was always likely to happen. Any player can go through an indifferent patch but he had more shots in the group games than any other player. Ok he didn't score but the law of averages meant it would be sooner rather later that he made one count. Just a shame that it had to be the semifinal. 

Mind you, being a ManU fan, I've always liked his dedication and ambition to improve himself. Personality stinks and his ego but he's there when it really matters.

Brilliant game. 2-0 to France.
Shame I only got them at 3/1 but looking good all the same

Hope it's a sign of things to come...with Germany being out./.....

Oh well, never mind, eh
