CR7 pk miss. wow.

Most of these groups will come down to the last set of games. Should be exciting!

Nicks2001tl

Switzerland vs. France and Romania vs Albania today. France is in the knockout round. Romania believes they can get through.

Nicks2001tl

Russia vs. Wales and England vs. Slovakia
England will qualify with a point and will top the group for certain with victory.

• Wales will qualify with a win, and a draw will be enough if England do not lose; in the case of an English defeat and a Welsh draw, Wales would be third behind England on head-to-head record and would hope their four points would suffice to be one of the four best third-placed teams.
• Slovakia will qualify with a win and will finish second with a draw if Russia prevail. However, Slovakia would definitely be eliminated in fourth spot if they lose and Russia win.
• Russia require a victory to have any chance of progress. They can come second if they win and England lose, in which case the two teams would be split on overall goal difference or overall goals scored (or, if still equal, the disciplinary rankings after the third set of matches; or, after that, the coefficient rankings in which England would have the advantage) Per the Uefa website

Nicks2001tl

Ukraine vs. Poland (Poland is in)
Czech Republic vs. Turkey (Czech needs a win to get a third place advancement)
Northern Ireland vs. Germany (Can N.I. be giant slayers)
Croatia vs. Spain (both in looks like more of a friendly)

UlsterBoy13

Was happy for Wales. The way the teams are shaking out it would almost be better for Germany if they were 2nd rather than 1st. A lot of bigger teams to face on their current route. NI still sgould get through in 3rd place. More than I could ever have expected.....

Nicks2001tl

Iceland vs. Austria (still pretty impressed with Iceland)
Italy vs. Ireland
Hungary vs. Portugal (will Ronaldo score)
Sweden vs. Belgium (Can Ibrahimovich shake tough defenses aginst him)
Italy is in, everyone else needs a win to possibly get through. Should be some great games.

UlsterBoy13

Northern Ireland officially in as a 3rd placed team, faces France or Wales, looking forward to see how it all shakes out after today......

Switzerland vs Poland - Swiss have been Impressive, Poland not so much. But they do have Lewandoski so i will say Poland win.
Wales vs NI - This has been Bales tournament so far. i think this will be a scrappy match. Head says Wales, Heart says NI.

Sunday 26th June 2016

Germany vs Slovakia - Close game. Slovakia to cause the upset.

Switzerland vs Poland - Swiss
Wales vs NI - Wales
Croatia vs Portugal - Croatia
France vs Ireland - France
Germany vs Slovakia - Germany
Hungary vs Belgium - Belgium
Italy vs Spain - On paper amazing game but in reality I could easily see this being a snoozefest.. Spain 70% possession with 3 shots.. PKS to Italy
England vs Iceland - Will be close, Iceland have been a pleasant surprise. England is good at choking, so I'll say Iceland

Nicks2001tl

^^Wish I was a betting man^^

Nicks2001tl

Round of 16 starts today!
The only team I haven`t seen in tournament so far has been Poland.

Nicks2001tl

Shaqiris goal! Holy Guacamole!

Very nice goal! But that PK by Xhaka was absolutely awful.

UlsterBoy13

So Portugal ruined my predictions and shame on me for doubting the Germans!!! Watching Belgium run rampant on Hungary, funny I thought Hungary were playing some nice soccer before opening the floodgates at the second Belgian goal. On a side note I think this is the first soccer game I have watched with a female commentator!!!

Germany and Belgium look the best so far.

Nicks2001tl

Waiting for one of these teams to show up. Italy looks good, Spain is trying to get back to championship play.

Nicks2001tl

England vs Iceland, Rooney`s move to the middle is a little mesmerizing. Iceland has been a pleasant surprise thus far.

UlsterBoy13

Woeful England Crash out and Roy Hodgson quits........Hope their fans take it with dignity.....bwahahahahaha

Germany/Italy should have been the final...

Nicks2001tl

Poland vs. Portugal today. Both teams looked good in there previous matches, should be a tough match.

Sad that Portugal needs extra time again. I really don't see them bearing Belgium or Wales. They're lucky to have gotten this far.

Nicks2001tl

Belgium vs. Wales (Belgium has had a rock solid showing so far. Wales Gareth Bale keeps firing away)

UlsterBoy13

should be a good game, Wales have had Belgiums number recently....

UlsterBoy13

I called it! Great result for Wales!!

Nicks2001tl

Best teams advance. I gave it to Belgium before the match but didn`t necessarily rule Wales out.

Nicks2001tl

France vs Iceland today
Griezmanns 2 goals sealed the win against Ireland.
Icelands win against a dysfunctional English team got them to todays game.

France is not England, scrappy Iceland has there hands full today.

UlsterBoy13

Dude...its Italy vs Germany today....bet game of the Quarter finals imo.......

France vs Iceland tomorrow....

Nicks2001tl

Italy vs. Germany (agreed that this is the best game of the tourney so far)

Nicks2001tl

Fixed. thanks.

most boring game ever Wales vs Belgium was way better

Nicks2001tl

Germany seems kind of pooped out. Also seems like Italy is playing cautious(uncharacteristic) but with 8 players with yellow cards who knows. Pace of play is definitely slow.

France Germany should be good game...

Valiant effort by Iceland. Even down 4-0 they never gave up. Much respect to them.

France vs Germany will be epic. Winner of that game wins it all IMO
