StatesideToffee14 Posted June 25 Author Report Share Posted June 25 Spain wins Group B. Italy finishes as runner-up in the group and will face Switzerland in the first Round of 16 match on Saturday. Croatia finishes 3rd in the group but their 2 points and their -3 GD means their chances of making the knockouts are pretty slim. Albania's loss to Spain results in England (and you all were worried about not making the knockouts), France, and the Netherlands all guaranteed to make the round of 16 as they can finish no worse than one of the 4 best 3rd place teams in their group.

Cornish Steve Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Watched the final 30 minutes from my hotel room in San Francisco. England are just aimless and without desire. Arguably, the best players in each of the English, German, and Spanish leagues are English. How can the national team be so awful?

The only enjoyment I've had this tournament is watching Cole palmer treating a second rate defender like he's a second rate defender and actually taking the piss rather than looking like he is being held back. Reminded me of when Gazza appeared in Italia 90 - not on the same scale but that same "I'm here and I'm having it" Romey 1878 and Sev 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatesideToffee14 Posted June 26 Author Report Share Posted June 26 England wins Group C but certainly wasn't inspiring doing so. Denmark and Slovenia finished tied for 2nd but Denmark had the better fair play points (-6 for Denmark, -7 for Slovenia). Denmark will face Germany on Saturday. Slovenia will advance as one of the best 3rd place teams and Croatia (who was in Group B ) is eliminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatesideToffee14 Posted June 26 Author Report Share Posted June 26 Austria shocks the Dutch and wins Group D after France drew 1:1 with Poland. France finishes 2nd in the group.

I think we'll improve against better opposition, but that'll be despite Southgate rather than because of him, he's totally cluless. You have to wonder what level of club will be looking at him as an option when he finally leaves England, celebrating his massive achievement of falling just short of mediocrity. Can't see it being an English side higher than league one, he'll probably go overseas, somewhere Scandinavian would be my guess. Absolutely bloody useless, an embarrassment, fuck off.

We don't want him Just read England has been the slowest team in the tournament to attack. Southgate really know how to use his players, eh ... Plenty of room for improvements and I hope that'll come with the next game. Denmark will meet Germany next, so that's game over for us.

StatesideToffee14 Posted June 27 Author Report Share Posted June 27 All the teams in Group E finished with 4 points with today's draws. This is the first major tournament since the 1994 World Cup where all the teams in one group finished with the same number of points. Romania wins the group. Belgium finishes 2nd in the group. Slovakia finished as one of the top 3rd place teams and advanced to the knockouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatesideToffee14 Posted June 27 Author Report Share Posted June 27 In a tournament that already had its biggest upset by FIFA ranking, Georgia-Portugal broke that. Georgia was ranked #74 coming into the tournament. Portugal was ranked #6. Georgia won 2:0. Portugal wins Group F and finishes ahead of Turkey on head-to-head result. Turkey finishes 2nd in the group. With their shocking win, Georgia advances to the knockouts with Hungary eliminated among the 3rd place teams.

Switzerland and Denmark could easily win their matches. England again the beneficiaries of a favourable draw, just as they had a favourable qualifying group to get to the Euros and a favourable group stage. They should have enough to get past Slovakia, but who knows. Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Austria, England, Switzerland.
