i miss Klose so much

official clip made by the DFB after he announced his retirement from international football to say thank you.

 

[Smudge]

Great player Klose. Loved that 2006 German team

 

[mistermagic]

Very fond memories of him back in 2002. Heading machine he was.

 

[Mister Reen]

These are the fan slogans on the team busses. Wales is the only team that is not dreaming. I hope the dreams don't turn out to be nightmares for any of the teams

All the best especially for the newcomers Wales and Northern Ireland

England

One team, one dream

Ireland

Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it.

Northern Ireland

Dare to dream

Wales

The dragons shall rise

MM, will Martial will start for France?

 

[Krazy8]

MM, will Martial will start for France?

Just give us your complete 1-11 for the game v Russia mistermagic, that'll be fine

 

[Stevencc]

He's our Frenchie - back off!

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Where's Leewilson when you need him. Stamp out these shenanigans.

 

[mistermagic]

Who the fuck is Martial?

 

[Ciderhead]

Just give us your complete 1-11 for the game v Russia mistermagic, that'll be fine

He just PM'd me. It's:

Mandanda
Jallet Umtiti Mangala Digne
Cabaye Kante Sissoko
Coman Gignac Martial
​

You're welcome.

[mente captus]

Rüdiger out (cruciate ligament rupture) Tah in

 

[mistermagic]

Blessing in disguise I say. They're both crap but Tah is better.

 

[DarkSithLord]

I am trying to work out who we are most likely to face in the knock out stages. What is the determining factor when deciding which group winners face which 3rd placed teams?

 

[AnkleBiter]

If this is readable....

The four best-placed teams are:
WA plays WB plays WC plays WD plays
A B C D- 3C 3D 3A 3B
A B C E- 3C 3A 3B 3E
A B C F- 3C 3A 3B 3F
A B D E- 3D 3A 3B 3E
A B D F- 3D 3A 3B 3F
A B E F- 3E 3A 3B 3F
A C D E- 3C 3D 3A 3E
A C D F- 3C 3D 3A 3F
A C E F- 3C 3A 3F 3E
A D E F- 3D 3A 3F 3E
B C D E- 3C 3D 3B 3E
B C D F- 3C 3D 3B 3F
B C E F- 3E 3C 3B 3F
B D E F- 3E 3D 3B 3F
C D E F- 3C 3D 3F 3E

 

[Skinner]

WAY too confusing for my pea sized brain

 

[Stevencc]

And mine.

 

[DarkSithLord]

And mine too!

 

[AnkleBiter]

it's not easy to work out with the 2nd round games not even over yet but it looks likely we'll play Romania/Switz/Albania or Croatia/Czech/Turkey if we win the group, with just a small chance of playing Norn Iron.

[Mister Reen]

I guess they just have a drawing of lots at the end of the group stage to decide. Anything else wouldn't make sense, I guess

I just found this list of what to do when your team lost, pretty stupid

[mente captus]

its a borefest isnt it? havent watched a game since wednesday.

will be back for the knockout stage...maybe....

 

[TomPNE94]

I've thought it's been pretty good to be honest

 

[Benji]

One man team, and defensive Wales are the competition's top scorers with 6 goals and 4 goal scorers. And we have the most passion too.

Wales have 18 passions. I believe England only have 7.

That's going from official UEFA statistics too.

 

[Super_horns]

The Croatia result has really opened up one side of the draw for a Croatia or Poland to reach the semis - even Wales!

Meanwhile the big boys are on the other side of the draw so some big games coming up.

 

[Ciderhead]

Spain v Italy in the last 16, winner likely to play Germany. Ouch!

On the other hand, you've got Switzerland v Poland to play Croatia or a 3rd placed team in the quarters.

Proper draw of 2 halves now. Spain, Germany, Italy, France (and England) all on one side

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Croatia are a very good side. Better than Belgium I feel.
