Yep Barca, trouble is for Southgate it’s now or never no matter what this euro if they don’t go real deep in the play offs.
The hangmen and press will cut him to pieces FA hands will be forced.

Germany and Turkiye are on opposite sides of the draw. Imagine the noise in that final! I want to see it. 

My picks from here on in?

Spain Georgia
Germany Denmark
Portugal Slovenia
France Belgium
Romania Netherlands
Austria Turkey
England Slovakia
Switzerland Italy

Spain Germany (this is probably the toughest game to decide)
Portugal France
Netherlands Austria
England Italy

Spain France (this was my pre-tournament final pick - and another tough game to pick. The winner of this semi goes on to win the tournament)
Netherlands Italy

Big difference dude, Portugal already qualified & had 9 changes to the team that won first 2 games.
Portugal still in Euros Greece not so. But then I am racist against the Greeks according to you.
However, well done to Georgia, watched game & well deserved, their GK man of the match.

Just wait till I tell your wife you cheering against her team LFC.

Turkiye Czechia post match celebrations were great yesterday.

Turkiye fans are something else. They have a real shot against Austria.

So good to see Georgia go through.

Ronaldo acting like a petulant child when he got subbed off. Compare that poncey pretty boy to Modric who is all class.

It will be a home game for Turkey :P

Hahahah just stirring you mate.... You knew it was coming, surely :)

Yeah, they seem to be the only fans at this tournament that boo the opposition for every touch of the ball... something else indeed.

Modric comes off with team 1 nil down & gassed as he has to do a lot of running in midfield.
Ronaldo comes off with team expected to win & the team is 2 nil down, you either never played or simply don't understand the frustration.

Yes & truly deserved.

I understand you're a massive fan boi like all you Ronaldo fan bois but he is a massive sook.

Stands around waving his arms in the air, barely celebrating with his team when he scores or someone else does, chucks a tanty when the ball doesn't go where he wants it.

Mind you I saw him unselfishly square a ball up the other day. Had to check twice it actually was ronaldo.

Great player, shit bloke. (On the the filed.)

Better than throwing coins at players.

There's plenty of whistling in the other games too.

Watched Morocco / Canada in Qatar and you couldn't hear the bloke next to you because of all the Moroccans whistling. They love that shit. I like it.t. 

:)

Slovakia will sit deep and try to score on the counter England wont be able to break them down and at 0-0 it will go to penalties and England will be out. It will be worse than the Iceland result.  I'm putting money on it. 

Im surprised you do mate.. The Turkey fans are pretty much all German born (Lira is so undervalued real Turks cant even catch a bus across town these days in Turkey let alone travel) cheering for the country of their parent's birth.... 

Yes it’s a bone of contention and she knows, its caused many a tiff over the years - but because as Muz posted of CR7.
He turned me off long ago And the over cockiness of many of my in-laws like they are WChamps.
Mourinho another.

So I enjoy stirring the pot :) even knowing I’ll be in the doghouse.

Ronaldo's public mentality is a bit weird sometimes, hey. I remember seeing him through Euro 2016 thinking he had turned a corner with that (especially during the final)

His fan bois are weirder.

Talk about a man crush.

Messi's are too for that matter.

 I had that though, too. This could be Iceland all over again.

I do I have same feelings towards the English & their 'football is coming home', fortunately my wife isn't a sports fan and cares little whether do or don't.
However, the other part of the family yes I get smashed.

Yes big fan, especially of his playing ability, I don't tend to comment on their personality as I don't know them.

My take on his personality is yes he has high demands on himself & his teammates, but I tend to rely on his teammates to give insights.
Despite being the sulkiest player to put on a football boot according to most in the media, I have yet to hear the same criticism of him from his teammates from Man U, Real Madrid, Juventus or Portugal.

One of the best example of this was him playing for Portugal & his shot has cleared the keeper & on the way in & Nani sticks his head & scores & showing Ronaldo the selfish getting angry.
Now why he was angry was because Nani was called offside & goal disallowed.

Interesting that for Euros, it’s 3 yellows for a suspension. I’m assuming in conjunction with that is that they don’t wipe at all.. might look into that

Ah nevermind, that’s just the way Drury said it. That players were “on two yellows”

it is in fact a suspension after two yellows and wiped after the quarter finals.

On that note (suspensions), wonder how much Italy will miss Calafiori for this match 

A player is automatically suspended for the next match for the following offences:^[77]

• Receiving a red card (red card suspensions can be extended for serious offences)
• Receiving two yellow cards in two different matches; yellow cards expire after the completion of the quarter-finals (yellow card suspensions are not carried forward to any other future international matches)

Thank you for reminding me to check how many Turkish players won't face Austria after all those cards. 2 players are out for Turkey. 

Asian Cup does 3 cards I believe. 

No, no. Asian Cup was 2 yellows in fact. I'd always been saying it should be 3 as they're given out stupidly but refs at times. Deservedly so elsewhere however. 

It can get tricky now for teams. I was really worried about Souttar against South Korea and get got carded. Alas, we didn't have another game. Hurts to see 90+6 for SK on the wiki. FFS. 

Pretty sure MLS has it and WC 26 will see it. Medical treatment on pitch means you go off for at least a couple of minutes. Barella was walking around like a lame horse and sat down suddenly he can sprint again. Italy won a throw and Xhaka just sat on the floor to stop play. Fine 30 sec later. 

Switzerland almost have this too easy with chance creation but are way too casual.
