Day 13: Groups F and E - ICE v AUT, HUN v POR, ITA v IRE, SWE v BEL

[bomberH]

How ironic if we had won the group we'd been playing Portugal. Hodgson knew all along, the sly mofo.

I fancy us against Iceland. Is it France after that, assuming they win against whoever they're playing?

Looks like it would have been nireland or turkey from the itv graphic?

I think Portugal are playing Croatia in the next round.

Completely agree. I've been there twice and will want to go again. Absolutely nice people there. Think about this: I went to a shopping mall and went inside the Island Bank to change money. The guy told me not to change there and gave me directions to get out in the street to change in another bank that would give me much better rate.

I remember nearly ending up with a hiding after one of our group nearly got us into a bit of bother with a group of Icelandic fishermen. They were all built like deep sea trawlers.
Probably the only time I've played peace maker in my life!

Croatia or Germany depending on how Group E now pans out.

Ah right so we wouldn't have played them if we finished first? Thinking about it, of course not because Wales aren't! Who have France got in the last 16?

 

[luptic]

COYBIG!!!!

 

[Gb160]

Not sure why folks celebrating Iceland.

England weren't good enough to beat Russia or Slovakia, and got a lucky last minute win against Wales.

I fancy Iceland to nick it 2-1 in extra time

Because we're now playing a much weaker team in the next round.
Our forms completely irrelevant.

They play a third-placed team from either Group C, D, or E, so maybe Northern Ireland, Turkey, or whoever ends up third in Group E (so one of Belgium, Sweden, or Ireland).

No idea how they choose which 3rd place team they play.

Last I read it was 3rd place of group a, c or d. Since Albania are now out it will be Northern Ireland or Turkey

If you're single, now's the time to go! Half the men are now in France. Hmmm, Icelandic women.....

Their joke is that their Viking ancesters captured the all the beautiful women from England and elsewhere in Europe; and hence their women are now the prettiest.

 

[Syn_13]

To all the Irish on here. Best of luck from an Italian, I hope you win, especially since we're already through.

My wife is of Irish stock so she's bricking it and prepared to give me a good shellacking (and not in the good way!) if we beat you.

Christ, ITV don't even show the subs bench. Amateurs

Fucking Roy will send out his third team on that basis. ****.

I hate ITV

What a result that last minute Iceland goal was for England, down side is it means another bus park game, which England have found hard going so far.

Or the formation, which teams actually file with Eufa I think (I'm sure @THFCSPURS19 showed a picture of an official team sheet with formation the other day) which bbc always show.

The Itv team graphic looks like something from a Spanish tv feed from the 1982 World Cup.

Hazard sucks.

Dogshit coverage. BBC shits on this.
