Other than England, I'm not watching any other matches. Maybe when we get to the knock out stages I'll care. Is it just me who feels disconnected to this England team? Maybe it's because its harder due to following it from abroad, but I haven't cared about England since the golden generation of 1996-2006. totally...

I saw some of the first matches and liked them. I don't think top teams are playing bad, but small are doing a great job. Haven't seen most of day two tho, so I can't talk about them.
Italy does always the same thing. And most times they reach far. The Germans also grow, specially when they face bigger teams. And Spain... well, you can dream anything if Iniesta is on your team. Hope Morata keeps on scoring!

I somehow managed to accidentally put Iceland-Hungary on my under 3.5 goals treble yesterday instead of Croatia-Czech's which meant it ended up winning in the end along with the under 3.5 goals treble for today's games, boost.
Got Ronaldo as top scorer for the tournament, useless bastard!

Really been no surprises so far at all. All the big teams should easily progress to the Last 16, although the stupid as fuck format helps proceedings.

There's too many teams in the Euros,it ruining it. The games havent been great so far. In 2012, Germany was in a group with Denmark, Portugal and the Netherlands. They started off with two games against top 5 teams. In 2014 we had groups with Spain/Netherlands/Chile as well as England/Italy/Uruguay...groups where one highly rated team HAD to fail. Now we have 1-2 good teams per group AND it's possible to advance as third. No remotely good team will get eliminated this way.

I'm just thinking that if we're losing tonight and Poland is scoring 2 more goals than Germany, we could have a France - Germany as a first game of the last 16... So I'm hoping for the win tonight.

Payet, Giroud, Kante rested. Embolo starts for Swiss, I have a feeling we're in for a good game tonight!

That's true but there no need to have all these rubbish smaller teams in it like England and Albania for example. The group stages have been boring so far.

There are 3 weaker teams in this tournament, Albania, Hungary and N.Ireland. N.Ireland won their group so they would be playing here anyway and Hungary is actually leading their group at the moment. The only problem is that qual format. It's just stupid that 16 teams qualify from the group stage. Those first games are fucking pointless because all the big teams don't have to do shit now.

Does Austria not count as a weak team even though the only thing "we" managed so far is driving Ronaldo crazy by not letting him score? Bless our goalie, the whole nation is in love with him since yesterday. TBF, I have not watched yesterday's game, but from what I've read it was not very impressive and I'm dreading the next one!

Austria won their qualifying group with 8 points difference so they seemed to be really strong team before the tournament started. Not sure what happened to them but I guess there's always some teams flopping Ukraine and Turkey are also flops.

Spain has to win to avoid France and Germany until the final. Portugal has to do the same to avoid us in 1/8, as Italy did. 3rd day ain't meaningless. Some matches in 1/8 will be easy, some won't, as is happening now, most of them are equalised until the very end. Plus, there's always a surprise or two. If we had a GER-ITA on groups stage we'd be complaining about how bad playoffs would be... I'd rather have big matches at the end of tournament. I also like a 24 teams tournament, this is very good for small teams to help them grow, improve and make better tournaments on the future.

Maybe they remembered that they are Austrian and supposed to be shit at football. Well, there is always skiing.
