Euro 2016

[CAMiller]

Spain 1-0 Czech

Didn't watch game so can't comment

It's no exaggeration to say that watching paint dry is infinitely more exciting than that game was.

Disappointingly over-defensive tactics from the Czechs, given the players they have in the team. Predictably, Spain eventually scored, so form book correct again.

Rep. Ireland 1 Sweden 1
Nice goal from Hoolahan after some good work from Coleman down the right. Sweden on top after that, but Ibrahimovic was kept fairly quiet. Reasonably interesting game

Take note England - watching Italy defend with ease by being compact, closing down, blocking and defending compactly and breaking quickly - moving up and down the pitch as a compact unit will make them very hard to beat - not pretty but highly effective

Only been 1 or 2 goals so far, thought someone might have got a 3-0 score, never mind I'll wait for England v Wales then

I agree - I can see them getting 3 or 4 against us

It's not like the last World Cup when we saw some useless teams get hammered.... er ...like Brazil!!!

Italy they've got a live manager. England have got Roy boy who looks like he's on a jolly boys outing.

Yes - they have suffered their own 'Hand of God' incident against Peru. Reminded me of a couple of goals that Ronnie 'scored'
