This euros is mighty. Not a sinner on the road this evening. I hope England stay in for ages.
Have Germany announced their team for tomorrow yet? I think Lowe needs to make a couple of changes to light the fire under a couple of the players.
Smart move from England getting on the opposite side of the draw to Spain. Tournament really starts in earnest at the last 16 stage. Reckon it will be a Spain v England final.
The Nordies leading a charmed life here, the Germans are after missing three great chances in the first 15 mins.
Ideal results for us tonight would be the Czechs beating the Turks by more than 1 and Croatia losing to Spain and Poland beating Ukraine by more than Germany beat the huns.
Poles all over the shop 0-0. Zielenski the liverpool target is playing
Is that an ideal result for Italy, Eire or Northern Ireland?
Why are Kuba and Piszczek benched?
I’m Italian.
Muller goes close yet again, hitting the post. All one way traffic.
Come on the wee 6
The Huns have much more technically adept players than the Micks.
AC Slater gives the Germans the lead.
Get in!
How many of the Nordie lads wouldn’t get on our team?
About 8 or 9 of their starting team tonight.
J Evans, Davis and possibly McCauley would be the only three that would get in our team. They are getting a worse chasing here than we got against Belgium. Muller hits the bar.
Having never lost a tournament game to Germany, I would have thought Germany rather than Poland would be more preferable quarter final opponents for Italy. Poland have form in beating Italy.
What is the soccer playing numbers like in the Abandoned 6?
It seems an unreal achievement for them to be at this thing let alone battling the world champions for a place in the knockouts.
They are probably drawing from a population of not much more than about half a million.
Germany are World Champions, mate.
Poles are a bunch of squareheads.
Doing an england on it. They do have a lot up on the clock now in fairness.
