Ffs we could have been in top half. Instead we have all the big guns in our half.Callumcafc said:Looks like Spain will be in England's half of the draw as well.

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?5
-
If we'd won our Group it would have been criminal if we hadnt made the Final!!
Switzerland / Poland / Croatia / Wales / Portugal (?) / Belgium (?) / Iceland (?) is what the other half of the draw will be0 -
Frustrating.
Not that a game against Croatia/Portugal/Belgium/Wales would've been easy. They're there on merit.2 -
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.1
-
Nah but we've beat all of those easily over the last few years apart from Belgium who we've not played.Callumcafc said:Frustrating.

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.0
-
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 rounds0 -
HUGE HUGE Congratulations to Northern Ireland though.0

FT 2-1 to Croatia.
Bottom eight teams will be:
Germany, Spain, France, Italy, England plus Slovakia, Northern Ireland, Group F runners up (Portugal?).0 - Sponsored links:

How comes Italy are confirmed winners of their group? Can't Belgium catch them?0

Italy beat Belgium in the first game of the group so even if Belgium do reach six points as well, Italy will finish above them on head to head record.carly burn said: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 recordcarly burn said:How comes Italy are confirmed winners of their group? Can't Belgium catch them?

Head to head record comes before goal difference in the Euros.0

Ah. Has that always been the case or is it another gift from Platini?0

I reckon it'll be Hungary, god I hope its them else its the most one sided draw in the history of the EurosCallumcafc said:FT 2-1 to Croatia.

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)0 -
Happy days
I've got tickets for Italy v Spain4 -
Didn't we beat Belgium 1-0 a season or 2 ago?ForeverAddickted said:

Edit: was 4 years ago!!!0 -
Looks like the top half semi final will be something along the lines of Croatia vs Wales/Portugal/Belgium.
Top half semi will be probably be Germany/Spain/Italy vs. France/England1 -

I fancy Croatia in top half. Bottom half - no idea but it won't be England.1
-
Croatia have got a proper good draw there... third place team in the round of sixteen, followed by a quarter final against Switzerland or Poland.0
-
England to lose to Wales in the final?0

Yeah just seen that. Didn't think it was so long ago.ForeverAddickted said:

Looks like a nice, easy draw for Northern Ireland.

Third place table:
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.0 -
I mean, I guess it makes it a bit more fun?0
-
So we could have had Albania, Belgium/Hungary, Croatia as a possible route to the final but now it could he Portugal, France, Spain/Germany?
If only Vardy had put that one-on-one away!1 -
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.
The general quality of it overall has been poor3
