I'm pretty sure it's all academic now. Given what I have seen of England so far. our biggest problem seems to be putting away the chances we create and we are not overly shy at conceding.
It's looking like Portugal.
Well, we now know Portugal finished 3rd, so their "side" of the draw is still in question, but England have been drawn against Iceland for the next round.
I can't remember who it was, but I saw some "pundit" write online that "we" (i.e. England) were lucky not to have to face a "major" threat, and I couldn't help thinking: "I bet the Icelandic team are saying the same thing..."
I was watching the Hungary v Port game and heard the final draw. I think Iceland is going to be pretty tough and we will be lucky to get past them as they seem well up for this tournament.
Great technique, lovely strike.

Down girl 
They looked like they were dead on their feet, but ROI managed to score a cracking goal to win the game. Yes, I know there is 2 mins to go, but I can't see the Italians coming back now.
Careful now. Could still be the best part of 10 minutes to go with the added time!
They thought whostle had gone.
Another cracking result in what's shaping up as a cracking tournament! 
Well done!
Wales v Northern Ireland; Republic of Ireland v France! 
Well done Ireland I didn't watch it but saw the score

He really is a prize one prat! 
Belgium must really fancy their chances of going all the way to the final! They are the only strong team in that side of the draw!
Busy day today. 
I'm from Norn Iron but living in Wales 
I will be very quiet today
Good luck to both, seriously 
Why did our paths have to meet ?

Unfortunately I am out for all of it.
*sad face*
No-one watching? 32 minutes and we've got a goal!
72 minutes and there's a free kick. Well aimed, but the keeper saves it.
Still 1-0
81 minutes - GOAL!
Enter Shakiri
I just got in the house, turned on the TV to see a cracking goal.
Brilliant... and needed.
We're into extra time!
Yes, I'm trying to watch while I do a few chores and get ready for my night out.
Penalty shoot-out now!
It's a horrible way to go
The only way it'll work is if everyone on the team takes one

I was half-watching the Poland game, but wasn't able to post.
Been looking forward to this match for days, but for reasons I won't bore you with I may not be able to post much.
No worries Eugene - hope the game lives up to expectations.
Decent strike.
My Bruv is in back in Bellyfast and they're weren't hopeful of getting this far. The big screen wasn't even booked - they had to book an emergency venue for today!
Phew!
I honestly have no idea who to support but since Roger is an FM and Mrs Jer just applied for her Irish passport, let's go with the greens.

I too sided with the greens.
I predict 0-0 at half time.
Some tactical thinking required during the half time cuppa.

That is cruel.
Knew it... Wales have been getting better as the match goes on
Sh*t or bust now - gotta go for it.
Roger the Alien posted:Knew it... Wales have been getting better as the match goes on
Very true: it's taken a while, but they've increasingly looked dangerous.
Bale's been dominating things too: although not officially on the score sheet yet...
I'd be happy with Wales winning they're a better team. It would be great to see more of Gareth Bale in the tournament too.
I've been following ROI since Big Jack's days and I lived in Dublin so long they feel more like my team. Tomorow is another day.

Bale really is brilliant I'm glad for him... the Real Madrid fans were horrible to him for ages. Now he's in front of his real fans !
Oops! I seem to have galvanized Wales into action - Sorry!

Ah yes, France v ROI tomorrow: that's going to be a big one!
Must remember to get some chores done early so I've got the afternoon free.
Ahh shame, but a fair result. Well done Wales Can see them going much further.

Well you got that one right, Mystic EC
Next Up : Croatia v Portugal
Come on Croatia.
Unfortunately I am off out to have one of those bbq type grill meals in a real ale chain type public house.
Enjoy the footy all that watch (as long as Ronaldo is disappointed).

I forgot about the game, I've just put it on
No worries, not as if there's only a couple of minutes to go!
I thought these last 16 games would be a bit more open, but 2 and a half games in and they are just as shit and cagey as the group games.
There just doesn't seem to be many goals being scored, especially in first halfs of games.
Roll on the EFL!!
If I go up the wooden hill......

OK, 35 minutes to go. It's not looking like anything much is going to happen.
It seemed to have by the time I got down again
Bloody hell!!

A couple of missed attempts - nothing to cause a flap.
Dodgy pen
He's play acting!

Well yeah, to be fair, him and Ronny were quite good at it
C'mon Croatia!
Ronny looks as though he was gonna cry there!
Someone PLEASE score. Half an hour extra of this Zzzzzzz no thanks
On to extra time. I think this game'll go to a penalty shoot-out.
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing posted:On to extra time. I think this game'll go to a penalty shoot-out.
If it goes to pens we'll be here all night judging by the ability of these players to strike ball on target.
This is a difficult one! I have zero tolerance for both teams!
Thank Bog! Someone scored and put the game to bed! I hope tomorrow is better!
When it fell on Quaresma's head 1 yard out, I expected him to miss, just to prolong the agony for us.
Not long to go!
Trying this out today...
Lumping ÂĢ100 on France to go through today at 1/5, returning ÂĢ120.
Then lumping that ÂĢ120 on Germany to go through past Slovakia at 1/5, returning ÂĢ144.
Then lumping that ÂĢ144 on Belgium to get through past Hungary at 1/3, returning ÂĢ191.52.
Then funally lumping that ÂĢ191.52 on England to get through past Iceland at 1/5, returning ÂĢ229.82.
Leaving me with a profit of ÂĢ129.82 tomorrow night. They are all dead certs aren't they? It can't fail can it?? I could get better odds by backing the 90min results, but I reckon one or two may go to extra time.

You are a brave man. I could buy just over 15 blu-rays for that money.

I agree about the likelihood of ET for some, I think you're OK with the 1st 2, 3rd match could be dicey and if England go to penalties I think you've lost!
Best of luck!
