    Marc Wilmots is being a dick, slagged off Italy on two occasions now after their 2-0 defeat

    “Italy specifically played on the counter-attack. They did not play real football and when faced with everyone sitting back, it becomes difficult."

    "The Italy Coach just has to rely on the Juventus defence in a bloc, he doesn’t even need to do any work with them.”

    He also says he reckons that Belgium deserves a draw, I think delusion has rubbed off on him from hanging around with Roland.

    He's rattled.

    9/2 for Ireland to beat them is looking more tempting

    Does deja vu mean in French I have seen it before? But in English it is commonly used to the strange feeling you have in your mind as you are having a discussion and you feel like you have lived parts of that discussion, with that person before.

    Real deja vu in that sense happens infrequently for me but has happened. It's like you are living in a script you remember going through before and you have to say something off the script otherwise you are going to go mad.

    Some interesting facts here from the times -

    How Euro 2016 has been eerily similar to Euro 96
    England concede late goal to draw opener 1-1 (Switzerland in 1996, Russia in 2016)
    England face one of home nations in second group game (Scotland in 1996, Wales in 2016)
    England top seeds in group draw (did not happen between 1996 and 2016)
    London-born England managers (Terry Venables in 1996, Roy Hodgson in 2016)
    England supply two referees (did not happen at European Championship or World Cup between 1996 and 2016)
    British opponents in England’s group have star player based abroad, a left-footed No 11 who was a free-kick expert (John Collins in 1996, Gareth Bale in 2016)
    Tournament expanded by eight teams (eight to 16 in 1996, 16 to 24 in 2016) Host country on terror alert after attacks (IRA in 1996)
    A Balkan side make Euros debut (Croatia in 1996, Albania in 2016)
    Romania are managed by Anghel Iordanescu, Turkey by Fatih Terim
    (They were also in charge of the sides in 1996)
    Defending champions drawn in group with Croatia and Turkey (Denmark in 1996, Spain in 2016)
    France beat Romania in opening game
    Croatia defeat Turkey 1-0 in their opening game
    Germany open with 2-0 win over former Eastern Bloc nation (Czech Republic in 1996, left, Ukraine in 2016)
    Penalty awarded against hosts in opening game, and converted to make it 1-1 (by Switzerland v England in 1996, by Romania v France 2016)
    In terms of goals per game, they are the two lowest-scoring tournaments since 1980 (World Cup or Euros)

    I'm off to put a couple of grand on the final ending Germany 1-1 Czech Republic after 90 minutes, then I'll retire on my winnings.

    It's like printing money.
