    So the Turks would end up going through despite being completely one of the worst sides in the group stages.

    I mean, look at Buffon. He's practically joining in the celebrations. Classic Italy.

    Teams letting you win always hit a second half post as well, it's part of the act.

    Fair play Jim. Great call. Did you have money on it?

    We did Wales / NI a big favour too. Remain.

    Played, Ireland. Thought they were done after that shocking miss.

    Keane's loving it.

    France next. Might be one of the better ties.

    No, unfortunately.

    I'm a convert to the expanded Euros with all the pokey teams, but 24 is a stupid number, so let's make it 32

    Kind of feel for Sweden here

    They came so close to putting Belgium out before the goal.

    WIth 32 teams we'd be close to getting within a few points of qualifying for the tournament so I'm all for it.

    There's no real rivalry in football (and I don't really care for ice hockey, though of course I hope Finland win in every sport I casually watch) as we've never been anywhere close to being anywhere near Sweden in terms of quality. I doubt we've ever beaten them in competitive game.

    Have you all seen the disallowed goal in the Sweden game? What's the general opinion? And even though I thought Zlatan was offside when I first saw it, I'm not so sure anymore after a few replays.

    About three quarters of the goals have been scored in the last five minutes. It's getting a bit ridiculous now.

    Chiles.

    I'd have taken a one-off game against the Welsh for a place in the last eight.

    This is probably the high point of watching us in 'competitive' football.

    Which side of Belfast? This is important as it determines whether I'll engage with you again in future.

    My bitterness at them beating us to top the group will only disappear if we get further than them in the tournament.

    One of Hungary, Belgium, Northern Ireland or Wales is going to get to the semi-finals, if my reading of this fixture list is correct.

    I really hope the Hungarians manage to beat the Belgians, who always seem to find a way to turn a game into a ponderous borefest. I fear the Hungarian train might have run out of steam after the excellent group stages, though.

    Against one of Croatia, Portugal, Poland or the Swiss. Northern Ireland is who I obviously want to get there but given they won't it needs to be Croatia if I'm to have any faith in anything.

    So one of those eight is going into the final? There's a real chance for some bang average teams here.

    I've piled on Croatia outright at 8/1. They are the best side in that half of the draw by a street.

    If they get to the final vs Germany/France what will they be, 2/1? So 2/1 to get through three matches, including one against Ronaldo? Still seems a trifle short for a team with no track record of winning anything.
