Too many groups
All those shit teams
England
VAR
Taz's predictions
Nothing. International tournaments are the best.
Lewa wouldn't miss that rebound if he was wearing a Bayern shirt.
There's a polish defender, I think Glik, who has genuinely raised his hands for an offside or an offensive foul every time Spain gets into the box.
Fucking hell, Jurgen Klinsmann. Huge fraud. I'd love to see him get the Spurs job and get exposed.
Penetration is the word of the day.
VAR is ruining the game.
How is that different to the Sterling incident? Balls gone, studs on foot.
Gahahahahahahaha.
Justice you pricks.
I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist about this kind of thing, but I've had a deeply uneasy feeling about refereeing decisions in this game.
Spain are deeply uninspiring. They must be up there with biggest 10-year regressions in terms of players, but I'm sure this board would generate other candidates.
Spain are awful to watch and not very good either. No sauce whatsoever.
Can't expect more when your alternative to Moreno is Sarabia.
One would think Luis Enrique would like to have an Asensio or an Isco in the squad right about now.
All they do is pass sideways with no real cutting edge.
This was so boring that I ranked the teams at the tournament on my phone's notes instead.

Just as a bit of context, Spain went out in the round of 16 in 2016 and 2018 and didn't make it out of the groups in 2014. They're trully back to their old loser selves.
What happened with Spain a decade ago is once in a lifetime stuff, too.
In a similar vein, France had 7 points with 3-1 goals in 2018 and 7 points with 4-1 goals (3 of which in stoppage time) in 2016, so they are on point here.
I'm finding the whole uncertainty over which 3rd placed teams go where in the bracket to be extremely frustrating now that we look well set up to win the group...
I just think of it as everyone goes through as long as they have 3 points.
I think you’ll need 4 points this year and even then I’m uncertain at this point with the way the results are going. I’m now convinced Scotland beat Croatia just to miss out on GD
Yep, to put last night in context Spain have drew against shit twice, France once and I doubt many Euro/World Cup winners have won every game in 90 mins.
Catching the highlights and Portugal's defending is shambolic. Imagine being Yev and thinking England couldn't beat that shower.
When Scotland lose to Croatia and all this 3rd place / 4 points bollocks is irrelevant
I only remember Brazil in 2002 going with a 100% record.
France won every match in 1984, although their semi went into extra time.

Stunning.Rebecca asked what intrigued him about her. Owen replied: “Your past. Your present. Your posts with your t**s out.”
Is he 8?and asked if her breasts were “falsies”
I guarantee he called them Chesticals atleast once.
What's the game of choice for tonight then?
Italy Wales without a doubt.

I'd rather watch Italy v Wales but there's nowt riding on it.
Switzerland Turkey they both have to win, so it'll be that.
Both are gonna be 0-0 anyway.

For the hope of some entertainment I guess you'd want it to be Italy and Switzerland 1-0 up at half time so Wales and the Swiss are both trying to win a goal difference battle in their respective games and having to attack but a) fuck Switzerland qualifying, the less games from in tournaments the better and b) lol at the idea of them pushing for goals.
Turkey need to win about 3-0 minimum so I can't imagine there not being goals in that one.
Turkey need to score otherwise my Hungary bet is done.

Wales are kinda fine with losing 1-0. For them to even drop third in their group they need a 5 goal swing between them and Switzerland.
Also 4 points with positive goal difference is a guaranteed qualification, as groups C and E will have the third place at 4 points with a GD of 0 as best case scenario.

Yeah I mean the I was talking about a situation involving Switzerland and an Italy side who can rest their best players so I was already grasping at straws on the entertainment front.
I see. I think realistically I'd expect the Belgium group and the Spain group to have a third place team at 3 points so 4 points still make it.
Be funny if Wales get scudded but 4 or more goals and miss out. Doubtful though. Turkey game should be full of goals even though Switzerland are involved, Turkey need to score loads to have a hint of a chance and Switzerland need to win by 2 or more to basically guarantee going through top 3.
What channel is streaming Swiss v Turkey?
