Annoyingly I finally understood those stupid 3rd place tables only when the group stage was basically done.
IT. IS. COMING. HOME.
Spain
Germany
France
Portugal
Italy
Actually I think [insert team who won't win] could win it!
I'm a bore and want league football back
I'm even more of a bore and want to discuss TRANSFERS

It's coming home.
Apologies to the Benelux teams who do fit into option 7 but would have had their own entries if this SO-CALLED MESSAGE BOARD didn't limit polls to 10 options. Stifling my creativity and freedom of expression.
Spain
Germany
Portugal
France
Romania
Austria
England
Switzerland
The quarter-final being 5pm on a Saturday is going to be absolute havoc for league cricket, so I'm all aboard the Slovakia train, if there is one. If there isn't I suppose I'll have to make a few calls to whoever builds trains.
More dark days of no football.
One can only look to THE CAMP for some sort of inspiration to pull through. A few quotes from Marc Guehi to ease the pain.
Fair enough, but does he mean in the England squad or the whole tournament?I don't think I'm the best player here.
I guess the tournament.There have been some really good performances by people.
It should just ignore the football, like we're real men. Last time this happened (2018) I remember stopping for a 2 hour break with the oppo on about 280 for 2, a few people fell asleep during the football, and then we had to go out again and carry on getting thrashed. Miserable.
Meanwhile in the Copa America..
US 1-2 Panama
Them most probably not making the next round when the tournament is played there is quite something.
Bielsa's Uruguay running riot and in Brazil's side of the KO draw, could be one worth staying up for there.
The bloke trying to start the chant at the end. Insufferable.
Uruguay highlights were mad. They play so quick and direct. Not quite sure how Nunez is keeping up.
That sounds like it would play to his strengths, such that they are, if anything.
Big fan of the Panama red card. Winning near the 90th minute and Pulisic is getting away after a quick free kick so the lad just full on boots him in the leg to take him down.
Mainoo to start. Foden back from dadding.
Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Mainoo, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Foden; Kane
Absolute muck.
I'm a twit
I'm off to Gelsenkirchen 🤙
Looking forward to a drab 1-0.
Italy are playing in Berlin.

Georgia rolling in cash.
What is this ‘Lions Den’ shite live from the ‘England Camp’ on Sky Sports News? Fuck me some marketing person who has never watched football has had a wet dream there.
6 changes for Italy...
El Shaarawy starting for Italy in 2024 is wild.
This has potential to be the worst game of the tournament and that includes England's games.
I'm hopeful.
I think this could be a banger.
Probably want Italy to win here as they're absolutely terrible and Barella appears to be injured.
That was quite nasty by Cristante there.
Italy came in to the tournament with no competent strikers & a coach who’s been in the job less than a year & hasn’t settled on what system they’re going to run, so it’s not all that shocking that they don’t look particularly good.
This game should be shown to insomniacs.
And yet it's still not as boring as Scotland and England.
Nice goal that.
Surrounded by Italians. Very angry. Beautiful
Switzerland
Cracking finish.
Bang.
Lolaly.
Swintzerland.
My brother in law lives in Switzerland so basically my country are winning.
We would get absolutely ruined by this Swiss team.
Piffle.
They'll be too caught up in the excitement of lifting the Gianni Infantino Trophy. Didn't you get the memo? This is their final.
Are we moving to a model where offside simply doesn't exist other than for ruling out goals? And if we are, is that a bad thing?
