some really bad defending by Sweden on the Irish goal

Russia FA fined and given a suspended disqualification. Lol, this is going to be funny.

Sweden didn't look great and neither did Belgium. I don't see either making it out of the groups.

I'm thinking of putting some money on Wales to get through the group as the odds of Russia getting kicked out go up!

Do you think England will beat sheep?

 

[sdifox]

I shall cheer for Iceland.

It doesn't matter if Russia gets kicked out. It matters even less if England get kicked out as well!

 

[DeathReborn]

Just kick out Group B entirely and turn anyone fighting into hanging targets for every player at the tournament to take pot shots at.

Thursday 16th at 14:00. It's the next match for England and Wales.

Unfortunately Russia are playing close by the day before so there's plenty of opportunities for their fans to cause chaos.

Without the clashes and DQs, I pegged Wales squeezing out of the group stages. Unfortunately, I'm sure Bale will hurt himself and be in terrible form at Real Madrid next season. =(

Good job to Engrish i guess they will lose next game though :sneaky:

Sucks for Wales England pulled out the win.

I just hope Lewandowski destroys all his Munich friends coming up though!

 

[WelshBloke]

Bloody hell!

 

[smackababy]

Wales really deserved that win.

 

[DeathReborn]

So "Woy" is really a numpty, who knew...

Terrible team selection (even the 23 man squad is a bad mix) and a Slovakia side that quite frankly didn't want to play football. Congrats to Wales though, they beat the worst team in the group, more than England could do.

I am just happy Iceland is ahead of Portugal :biggrin:

I don't think any team in that group would have beaten Wales today. That was easily the best 90 minutes of team football this competition.

 

[GasX]

England has the talent to beat any of the top teams in an elimination match, but they sure couldn't get past the parked bus...

 

[smackababy]

And Croatia go on to beat Spain and win their group. Something like 5 changes...

 

[GasX]

Should make for an interesting bracket!

 

[ctbaars]

Croatia wins, Turkey wins.
I don't know how the brackets work but the announcers were saying this helped Northern Ireland ...

The top 2 in each bracket go forward into the next round and the 4 best third place team of the 6 brackets also advance. Northern Ireland finished third in theirs. Turkey finished with the same number of points, but due to their loses being by larger margins, they end up with a negative goal differential, while Northern Ireland is a 0. If Czech Republic had won, they'd have been, at worst, tied with Norther Ireland on goal differential, lowering NI's chances. They determine the "best" third place teams by total points, goal differential, and then some other shit until it's a coin flip.

As of right now, there is only one third place team better than NI (Slovakia with 4 points), but Group E and F are essentially wide open and can change that. It is currently possible for a team to not make it through to the next round without having lost a game.

Almost right
If Czech Republic had won, they would've had 4 points, and NI with 3pts would have to wait till tomorrow to see if they'd qualify.
With Turkey's win, NI is now better than both Turkey and Albania on goal differential (they all have 3 pts). so NI advances to round 16 no matter what happens in groups E and F.


Good game Spain vs Croatia.
When I saw the lineups with Croatia resting 4 starters + injured Modric, and Spain with their best 11, I thought Spain wanted to secure No. 1 spot, while Croatia was aiming to be fresh for round 16. Spain kinda fu**ed up there...
