Well done Roy , hadn't messed about last night and we'd be laughing all the way to the final now. Joke. Gotta be worth putting something on Wales to win this thing now?
Hahaha. So second place maybe not so good, unless as they all try and play forward we rip them all a new one. And lose on penalties to Poland in the final.
Basically though, whoever out of Germany/Italy/Spain/France/England that doesn't make the final is going to be proper annoyed if they lose the final to Switzerland.
Its a shame because at the same time it could make the Final extremely one sided now...
You'd expect their Semi-Final in their half to consist of Wales / Belgium / Poland / Portugal... None of whom should really threaten France / Germany / Italy / Spain
Its like the Tennis, you stand a slim chance of beating Djokovic or Murray in the early Rounds but once they pick up steam, they're extremely difficult to beat in the later rounds
How comes Italy are confirmed winners of their group? Can't Belgium catch them?
Italy beat Belgium in the opener... They've six points whilst Belgium only have three, they can finish on joint points with Italy but Italy will remain top on their head2head record
Germany, Spain, France, Italy, England plus Slovakia, Northern Ireland, Group F runners up (Portugal?).
I reckon it'll be Hungary, god I hope its them else its the most one sided draw in the history of the Euros
Although Northern Ireland can still end up facing Wales yet for that to happen, the 3rd place teams from Group A and D can't Qualify (which is a slim possibility i.e. if Ireland beat Italy whilst Portugal and Iceland win)
Really don't like this make up of the tournament with all these little teams getting in cos they've extended the numbers, setting up 10 men from kick off and trying to nick a point and third place. In the knockouts they'll be doing the same with the aim of getting to penalties.

Switzerland / Poland / Croatia / Wales / Portugal (?) / Belgium (?) / Iceland (?) is what the other half of the draw will be
Not that a game against Croatia/Portugal/Belgium/Wales would've been easy. They're there on merit.

Bottom eight teams will be:

I've got tickets for Italy v Spain
Edit: was 4 years ago!!!
Top half semi will be probably be Germany/Spain/Italy vs. France/England
Slovakia 3 / 1 1 1 / 3 3 / 0 / 4 (qualified - likely to play Germany)
N Ireland 3 / 1 0 2 / 2 2 / 0 / 3 (qualified - likely to play France)
-
Turkey 3 / 1 0 2 / 2 4 / -2 / 3
Albania 3 / 1 0 2 / 1 3 / -2 / 3
This means Wales will likely face Turkey and Croatia third place from Group E or Group F.
If only Vardy had put that one-on-one away!
The general quality of it overall has been poor
