Cheers @nealmac.. and update TV listings on yours..

Deleted my thread..

I really don't fancy the Irish's chances of qualifying tbh.. It would be great if they did though...

 

[doctor_mac]

I think Ireland have a great chance to upset things. Word is there could be 9 changes to the Italy team. Ireland aren't as bad as that 3-0 loss suggested and I fancy Shane Long to announce himself in this game. 2-1 ROI.

Zlatan will today play his last game for the national team. No chance that we will beat Belgium. Not with the tactical idiot Hamrén in charge.

 

[nealmac]

Now we know for certain that 4 points is good enough to get to the knockouts, based on the results in other groups. What will really kill me, is if by some chance we manage to beat the Italians, and then Sweden go and beat Belgium and pip us to 3rd place on goal difference.

If that happens Belgium would be bottom wouldnt they?

We don't want Sweden to beat Belgium. I hope they get battered and knocked out.

Yes. Never thought of that.

No Euro 2016 Random Shite so this will have to do :

Cahill appeared to have improved under Jose Mourinho but it was quickly revealed than in the absence of Kurt Zouma or John Terry next to him, telling him what to do, Cahill is 90% water. At least he must be, given there is presumably just liquid and plasma floating about where his brain should be, but definitely isn’t.

From Yahoo Blog. A slightly entertaining read.

Nothing Cahill's done is anything like as daft or dangerous as Smalling's attempt to chest the ball back to Hart in the Slovakia game. Cahill hasn't pulled up any trees either, but I'm not convinced he deserves singling out for that.

Spotted in Malahide, Dublin today.

I hope Portugal get spanked.

 

[Judge Jules]

For more reasons than one, I dare say. 😉

 

[Athens]

Normally I wouldn't care but Ronaldo has been behaving like a right petulant child.

 

[Judge Jules]

Absolutely, but isn't there also the small matter of you being Irish and wanting Portugal to be England's next opponents?

I hadn't thought about that, I was hoping that they would be on an early flight home, if at all possible!

 

[Frogfish]

Yeeeeess !

Hungary 1-0 Portugal

 

[cloggypop]

Boss!

 

[cloggypop]

Why doesn't Ronaldo do that?

 

[Portly]

Great goal by the veteran Zoltan Gera. He's a player I have always liked - full of class.

 

[manwithnoname]

I hope Portugal win, because tournaments are enriched by the best players being in it. It would make Euro 2016 much poorer if players like Ronaldo are not around to illuminate it with their genius.

 

[cloggypop]

Iceland winning as well. Soz Holle.

 

[Portly]

Yes but Ronaldo is a total cunt so it would be good to see him on the plane home.

Another who has scored against Liverpool on more than one occasion. Total belters.

I don't allow petty personal grievances or dislike of an individual get in the way of enjoying great football, played by wonderful players.

 

[cloggypop]

It would be good to see him in tears fairly soon.

 

[manwithnoname]

While being carried off

While being carried off

Maybe at the end, totally drained. I want to see him play it all though, getting more and more frustrated with himself.

 

[Frogfish]

This is going to get dirty ....

Can see goals from both sides though.

 

[Markeh]

It's like their keeper didn't turn up and someone's dad is in nets
