Our local ice-hockey MC (Bavy) is taking the mic for the England vs Australia game on friday.. very cool - I know him!

These are the England times/fixtures for Euro 2016 BTW :

Saturday, June 11: England v Russia (20:00, Stade Velodrome, Marseille)
Thursday, June 16: England v Wales (14:00, Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens)

Weather dependant.. I'm hosting a Euro 2016 party for the first game.. Get the TV outside and BBQ going - should be fun.   Gonna take a half day for the 2nd match.. and we'll be out by the 3rd game so no need to watch that  ;D ;D

Have booked Thursday off for the Wales match, and took Friday off as well just because - well you would.

You should have more faith in our chances!
I'm an optimist. We'll get to the semis and be knocked out by Germany.

Post by: harv on May 27, 2016, 08:31:03 PM
On penalties ;D ;D ;D

Rashford scored in the first 2 minutes, not a bad start. We should be 3 or 4 up, it's Australia FFS :o

Post by: jman on May 31, 2016, 08:45:06 AM
Nice.. if I didn't have so little holiday left this year I would of taken the Friday off too...

Well looking forward to the Euros now.. I love a good footy tournament!! 

Actually I reckon we'll do quite well this year.. we might finish 3rd in the group instead of 4th  :P ;D ;D
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on May 31, 2016, 05:35:44 PM
And we've got Sturridge and Wilshere in the squad. Both will probably get injured before the competition starts, we might as well just start with 2 less players in the squad and cut out the middleman lol :o 8) ;D

The Frogs have gone 1-0 up, Giroud with a header. They've only just been the better side imo.

It's still beyond me how Giroud manages to start regularly for both arse and the Frogs.

Stancu with the equaliser from a well taken penalty after Evra made a huge cock-up. :o

What looks like a winning goal from Payet just a couple of minutes before the end. A real cracker too :o

3 minutes injury time.

Post by: harv on June 10, 2016, 09:53:58 PM
2-1 final score. I can see that defence leaking a lot of goals during this competition though, can't see them winning it.

More grief between England and Russia fans this evening apparently. Will be SERIOUSLY pissed off if we get kicked out because of it. >:(

The Frog police are fucking useless, didn't learn a thing from previous competitions that they've hosted.

Wouldn't surprise me if there are murders tonight. :-\

Post by: harv on June 15, 2016, 09:56:19 PM
There's NO WAY that the Frogs deserved to win that game, let alone 2-0 :o

Vardy and Sturridge on for Sterling and Kane. ;D

Post by: harv on June 16, 2016, 03:16:07 PM
Vardy, 1-1.

Shame he's probably going to go back to scoring 5 or 6 league goals a season next season though :-\

All of these commentators keep on going on about the Vardy 'fairy tale' obviously haven't paid any attention to his career so far lol ;D

Could this be the year of the underdog..? After Leicester won the Premiership this year Iceland are now 1-0 up against Hungary. I'll piss myself if they win the competition lol. They've got 0.5% of their population playing this afternoon :o
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 18, 2016, 08:23:21 PM
They ended up with a 1-1 draw in the end but they have 4 points now so they've got a good chance of qualifying for the next round as long as they don't get hammered by Italy in their last game. ;D

Much happier with the direction of the camerawork in this competition, I'm convinced that all of the Directors in the last World Cup were gay. Hardly any cameras on crumpet and most of it was on blokes. The crumpet count is much better in Euro 2016. 8)

Fucking hell, the sheep shaggers have gone 2-0 up, leaving us in second place so far :o

Slovakia not too much of a threat so far and England have had a few good chances. ;D
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 20, 2016, 08:48:10 PM
0-0 at halftime, England have dominated the game in possession and chances. Slovakia are going to have to change something at halftime otherwise you feel it's only a matter of time before England score. ;D
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 20, 2016, 09:55:02 PM
0-0 at full-time. Dominated the game from start to finish but our finishing wasn't good enough. If we're expecting to win this thing we need to score more goals. >:( Wales ended up winning 3-0 and top the group meaning they've got Albania and we've got the harder match against Portugal in the next round.

We REALLY should have won that group tbh. :(
Title: Re: Euro 2016

Should have stuck Rashford on instead of Kane :P

Goal of the tournament so far from Ronnie :o
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 22, 2016, 06:12:05 PM
Fucking hell, this half is crazy :o

3 goals in 10 minutes, Hungary 3 - 2 Portugal :o
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 22, 2016, 06:20:44 PM
A great header from Ronnie, 3-3 now. ;D

Austria have got one back against Iceland, meaning we've got Portugal next round the way things stand. And Hungary hit the woodwork.

Tbh I'd be happier with Portugal, Iceland have looked pretty solid at the back so far.
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 22, 2016, 06:52:10 PM
Great match to watch, 3-3 final score and Iceland have just scored a winner in the very last minute :o

That means that we've got Iceland in the next round. Unlike the BBC pundits I would be happier with Portugal in the next round because defensively they're pretty bloody useless. :-\
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: jman on June 22, 2016, 10:42:28 PM
Portugal Hungary was a bit fucking mental wasn't it... I'm glad Hungary won.. I got them in the sweepstake at work.. and get my entry money back for topping the group lol.  Who knows.. they are on the easy side.. they could make it to the final!!

Fair play to Ireland as well.. they deserved to win.. I reckon that will be a cracking match against the French.

The Swiss are my tip for an outsider to win the trophy. Yann Sommer has the potential to be a trophy winner on his own.

Post by: jman on June 24, 2016, 08:31:04 AM
You're kidding me right... the Swiss didn't look that good in any of their 3 games.. they lucked out against Albania with the sending off for sure.  I've got Poland down to beat them 1 or 2 nil easily.

Croatia have to be the outside bet going on the group stage matches..
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 25, 2016, 03:49:51 PM
Shaqiri has just beaten Ronnie's goal for the goal of the tournament. Amazing. :o

1-1 now.

Could be looking at Extra Time and penalties here.

I will piss myself laughing if the Paddies knock the Frogs out. Missed the first 7 minutes and the goal but the Frogs have been pretty poor so far :o :o :o ;D

Although if we play the Paddies in the next round there's bound to be IRA songs and crowd trouble :(
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 26, 2016, 03:28:45 PM
Thought it might have been too good to be true. Frogs are now 2-1 up and the Paddies are down to 10 men. :(

Shame for Hungary. I've enjoyed watching them play. They've been much more entertaining than any of the other "outsiders". Unfortunately for them, Belgium were outstanding.
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: harv on June 27, 2016, 01:31:51 AM
Belgium are a REALLY weird side. On their day they can beat ANYONE playing some great football, but they have bugger all consistency.
Title: Re: Euro 2016
Post by: jman on June 27, 2016, 09:26:10 AM
I thought Hungary were really poor in the first half last night.. were a bit fortunate to go in at only 1-0 down.. but I liked the fact they kept trying to push forward and weren't always just on the defensive.. they probably deserved a goal but Belgium were fantastic.. and if Hazard is back to his best.. I'd be quite happy to see him stay at Chelsea.

1-0 at halftime and it would be more if De Gea wasn't between the sticks it would be 2 or 3.

Spain have been awful and Italy have been outstanding so far.

Didn't put Rashford on until a few minutes from the end and we had more penetration...although that wasn't difficult because we had bugger all before that. Sterling is a complete waste of oxygen lmfao. How Citeh decided to fork out £50m is beyond me.

Embarrassing. :'(

Post by: Late on June 27, 2016, 09:55:44 PM
Good luck Iceland. They were the better team and deserved to go through.
That's not too say they were good. We were just horrendous. I've never seen us play as poorly. It's like the entire squad were drugged. They couldn't pass, they couldn't tackle, they couldn't shoot, they had no movement off the ball, no interest in regaining possession, and couldn't move with the ball. Absolutely dreadful performance. Every time we got a set play and Kane stepped up you knew it was more likely to hit the corner flag than go anywhere near the goal. Even Rooney lost his ability to complete a pass.

What a complete shower of shite.

I'd like to see Fraser Forster be given a chance now.. Joe Hart is a great keeper and has played a few blinders for Citeh.. he never seems his best for England though... I think Forster is definitely as good as Hart.

We need Woy had his preferred players and Hart was one.. hopefully the next manager who comes in isn't going to be a complete stick-in-the-mud.  I'd like to see a Big Sam & Southgate partnership.

A better second half from the Frogs, they did just enough to deserve the win I think. That 2-0 win makes it a Portugal v Frogs Final. ;D

Post by: harv on July 10, 2016, 09:52:11 PM
The Frogs have had the better second half, on balance of play neither side deserves to be ahead. This really has been a shite game. 0-0 at full-time, Extra Time it is.
