    It looks like someone has vomited paella on it.

    So glad Morata touched that! Got him as top goal scorer

    Seems way too elongated for me. Looking forward to the knockout stage now but after initial excitement at the start, meh.

    Spain just look too strong. Having said that they've played 2 poor sides so far , and even Croatia are relatively weak without Modric and Rakitic combining.

    Turkey are beating Czech Rep. As it stands, N Ireland are through.

    Turkey have just scored against Czech Republic

    If that stays the same then Northern Ireland have Qualified as they'll be ahead of Albania and Turkey on Goal Difference

    Listening to Hoddle salivate over "little passes" every 2minutes it's making my ears bleed.

    If anyone fancies watching a football match, Czech v Turkey is a fine open game at present. Turks went ahead with a flowing breakaway move, Czechs have hit the post and come close twice more.

    I notice that despite winning both games and already qualifying that Spain made no changes for this game

    He will start going on about "probing in the box" at some point.

    Working all this out has gone way over my head now, but apparently only seven combinations are still possible - the ones highlighted green...

    image

    France are likely to face Northern Ireland (5 out of 7 remaining combinations).
    Germany are likely to face Slovakia (6 out of 7 remaining combinations).

    Spain's kit looks like it's been in the B and Q paint mixer.

    Ramos massively at fault there.

    A very Spanish style finish there from Kalinic.

    I was going for 'lobbed a tomato at them' but I think you've nailed it.

    Possibly a reference to La Tomatina, the tomato throwing festival!

    As far as I'm aware this is how every 24 team tournament has been done since at least as far back as the World Cup in 1990.

    Yes and it was a crap format then as well.

    Keeper was about 5 yards off his line there.

    Jesus Christ - how far was the keeper off his line there?

    Justice though, clearly not a foul.

    Never a penalty so glad the officials missed the keeper running halfway to the ball!

    Hoddle was quite funny though, for once. "He almost got to the ball before Ramos did"

    That is a shocker. Hoddle has made a career out of being the least funny guy in the room.

    The world is turning upside down I tell you.

    Fortunately have invested in upside down boots.

    Looks like Spain will be in England's half of the draw as well.
