Euro 2016

Zlatan exits stage door left. Sweden have been one of the poorest teams in this tournament. Maybe even the worse.

thank goodness he's the best striker in European football.

Martin O'Neill described him as the most over-hyped player he'd ever seen when he was commentating on the Euro's or WC a few years ago. I agreed with him then, and I'm pleased to see that he hasn't improved any.

Man U might want to consider if half a mill a week can be better spent somewhere else..... painting the white lines at OT with diamond studded paint or something

Ireland the better side in the first half hour.

Need to score though. They're not going to win the game if Italy go 1-0 up, and at some point Italy will get a chance.

Going to be from a set piece you would think. Brady has a wicked left foot.

Good header of the ball n all.

Jeepers the left hand side of the draw is weak. Belgium in the final.

it does... thank goodness England didn't get in that half of the draw by scoring a goal against a team that didn't want to play football.

that won't come back to bite them

[Arthur Crabtree]

Quarter of the teams left from the British isles.

Scotland might be feeling left out.

[Durhamfootman]

at least the home nations will have one representative in the QF's

long time since that's happened

I reckon that by the time Wales go through to the QF's, Gareth Bale will have scored more goals than the entire England team

Jeepers the left hand side of the draw is weak. Belgium in the final.

The big boys in the bottom/right half. The boys who rely on their big player(s) in the top/left half.

Although only slight, there is probably more of a chance of Ireland upsetting France than Hungary upsetting Belgium. So who knows, we could yet be in the better half. (Playing Iceland vs playing NI really shouldn't make any difference).

I fell asleep and missed the end. So, revenge against the French.

Do we have the winner of that match, if we beat Iceland.

With two teams from Ireland joining Wales and England in the last 16 this surely means that, (apart from that bit at the top of England), the British Iles are the dominant force in European football.

Yes.

Until it's just NI left in the quarter finals.

No games for two days

Then a weekend full of Football

Perhaps it was planned like this because of the referendum!

Three games Saturday and Sunday in view of the weekend and two on Monday, with us providing the last game of the last 16.

Anyone seen the video of the Icelandic commentator losing it completely when they scored the winner last night...

Thats what its all about.

His joy was at the thought of playing England rather than a good team.

Have England ever played Iceland before?
