Slovakia are officially better at scoring goals against Russia than England

Slovakia and Wales to top the group, Russia to get kicked out, England to finish third and not make it into the knockouts.

With 4 of the 6 teams that make 3rd place advancing into knockouts its really difficult to achieve that.

Draw and loss in remaining games, 0 more goals scored imo. 4 other 3rd place teams with either more than 2 points, or 2 points but better GD/goals scored is very doable!

Oh the other hand I must admit it feels good that our tiny 10 million country has a team against who the small team celebrate getting a 1-1 draw like they just won the Euros, just going wild partying and slathering each other with oils and probably buttfucking in the bathroom . That means we're now undoubtedly a Big Team and everyone is scared of us so of course they're going to root for the underdog. This must be how England felt after the USMNT fans went embarrassingly crazy with celebrations after a 1-1 draw like they'd just won the world cup: drat proud. well done portugal and well done england

let me give you a little tip here bro. no one in usa gives a poo poo or piss about soccer and we are all about shooting guns and drinking beer and wine coolers, and we still qualified top of the group. how did portugal do? saltmad? guess i would be too if my team had the best player in the world on it and couldnt beat albania or whoever (didnt watch the world cup so dont know who was in the group)

I'm really enjoying the poortugal buttmad since strákarnir okkar who played a cool and good match exposed the 11 individuals in red as fraudulent beach hair braid salesmen. Portugal somehow has 11 good players and a bad team. I feel sorry for Ronaldo and europe for ruining the EURO 2016 with boring football but not everyone can dive spectacularly around the box or be a gigantic dick criminal like Pepe so you just have to suck it up and stop trying to poo poo all over our beautiful dream.

Why is the refereeing so much better here than the world cup? They are allowing a lot more physical stuff and not calling a lot of stuff they did in Brazil. It's making the games a lot more interesting as its not stop and start all the time

Is it just uefa giving the refs different guidelines than FIFA does?

The UEFA refs are of a much higher quality. Everyone's a CL regular as opposed to the World Cups where you see some refs from the Bongo Bongo Isles and so on.

Portugal has had many things, but never "11 good players".

The correct number normally hovers between 1 and 1.5 for any given decade.

We do have our own funny language and whatnot.

Still, at least we didn't get migrant children to down pints of beer for a couple of Euros like the England fans did (Which suspiciously is not being reported on).

life is good
Germany, France and Spain have all looked a bit inept in front of goal. The favourites for winning are looking a bit weak and some of the weaker teams have put in good performances. Hell, I'm excited at how hard this one is to call. It looks like it may just end up down one road - The road that leads to football returning to its homeland.

It is. Poland and Germany both have 4 points, and N.Ireland will be above Ukraine based on their head-to-head if both end the group stage with 3 points
