    That goal should have been allowed, just for having been able to score from that angle

    The Dutch keeper having a poor 5 minutes

    Jesus... that was an awful penalty even though he scored.

    Martin Keown
    Former England defender on BBC One

    Lewandowski goes to that same side. It's quite brilliant. To beat the goalkeeper he has to go all the way with it, and it's a great finish





    Not watching as at sons football training but I am now confused ….

    The Netherlands v Austria game is what you want to see as a neutral. Lots of momentum change and plenty of goals.

    A very funny, funny old game. 2-3 to Austria and nearly 3-3.

    Great end to end football in 2nd half.

    All I know is 3 teams are going through from group D.

    Amusing that the country that gave the world Total Football, now has 6'6 lump up front as their main attacking focus

    Surprised Holland didnt get a penalty for that shirt pull just then.

    Thats a foul anywhere else??

    Austria are class
    Man U sacked Rangnick as well 😂😂
    Was the only one in the last decade or so ti tell them what their issues were and how deep they went etc, should have kept him as a DOF.

    But their precious players didn't want to hear it, and the Glazers wouldn't have put the changes in place.

    Is that the same big lump that scored the winner with his feet after coming on as a sub within 2 minutes against Poland !

    Netherlands are one of the 3rd placed teams we could face in the RO16, Austria we'd potentially face in the Semi-Finals

    France we wouldnt face until the Final

    But thats based on us winning the Group ourselves. If we come 2nd then we'll go into the half of the draw with France - Spain - Germany - Portugal

    I THINK it's bad for us, but not as bad as it could have been with France not topping the group..

    One round of games completed… if the groups were final at this moment in time, the round of 16 would look like this:

    Spain(1B) v Czechia(3F)

    Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)


    Turkey(1F) v Albania(3B)

    France(2D) v Slovakia(2E)


    Romania(1E) v Slovenia(3C)

    Netherlands(1D) v Portugal(2F)


    England(1C) v Poland(3D)

    Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)


    Updated after two games played:

    Spain(1B) v Slovakia(3E)

    Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)


    Portugal(1F) v Slovenia(3C)

    France(2D) v Belgium(2E)


    Romania(1E) v Albania(3B)

    Netherlands(1D) v Turkey(2F)


    England(1C) v Austria(3D)

    Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)



    Update after Group A completed (teams in bold guaranteed):

    Spain(1B) v Slovakia(3E)

    Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)


    Portugal(1F) v Hungary(3A)

    France(2D) v Belgium(2E)


    Romania(1E) v Slovenia(3C)

    Netherlands(1D) v Turkey(2F)


    England(1C) v Austria(3D)

    Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)

    Spain(1B) v Slovakia(3E)

    Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)


    Portugal(1F) v Hungary(3A)

    France(2D) v Belgium(2E)


    Romania(1E) v Slovenia(3C)

    Netherlands(1D) v Turkey(2F)


    England(1C) v Austria(3D)

    Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)


    Not much changes - only Italy confirms their place tonight.

    Croatia aren't done yet - but they are relying on us beating Slovenia 3-0 or by four clear goals tomorrow (plus a few other silly results go their way).

    Update after Group D completed (teams in bold guaranteed):

    Spain(1B) v Slovakia(3E)

    Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)


    Portugal(1F) v Hungary(3A)

    France(2D) v Belgium(2E)


    Romania(1E) v Slovenia(3C)

    Austria(1D) v Turkey(2F)


    England(1C) v Netherlands(3D)

    Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)

    At least if we beat the Netherlands in the next round, people can play it down as they failed to beat Austria.

    Excuses in early for you all ;)

    Today shows that the tournament is wide open. France not winning the group is a real surprise, especially their lack of goals.

    so basically its Netherlands, Germany or the winner of group F (probably Belgium?) regardless of our result tonight

    We win... Should be Netherlands
    We draw (DEN draw / lose)... Should be Netherlands
    We draw (DEN win)... Germany
    We lose (DEN win)... Winners of Belgium Group

    The simplest way I can see England avoiding Netherlands in the round of 16: beat Slovenia by a clear 3-4 goals, have Denmark beat Serbia and Czech Republic beat Georgia.

    The key is to ensure that Group C does not have one of the best third place finishers. If that’s the case, England will play a team from Group E or F instead.

    Surely we want to play the Netherlands? They really aren't very good.

    Would it be awful of me to ask what the draw would look like if that scenario happened...? (you're loving this aren't you Cal! lol)

    2/5: Group C winner v Group E 3rd

    I think I over complicated it a bit… if Denmark and Czech win, it doesn’t matter how many goals England win by. As long as all three of those teams win, England would play Turkey or Georgia.

    Not fussed if we do get Holland, they've not looked good at all and are easily beatable.

    Lol you’d be looking at something like:

    Spain v Slovakia, Germany v Denmark, Portugal v Hungary, France v Romania, Belgium v Netherlands, Austria v Czech, England v Turkey, Switzerland v Italy

    That assumes that the favourites like Belgium, England and Portugal all win..

    Italy are in our quarter if we win the group. Belgium would be in our half of the draw but a different quarter section so a possible semi final opponent.
