Euro 2016 - Group Stage thread

Nothing to fear? Its the qualifiers and they struggled to beat Wales and ended up behind them. Spain, Germany and France would make shit of them. I doubt they could beat Italy, Croatia or Belgium for that matter. They have played nobody. You have picked them as potential winners, live with it.

No problem, how does this go from here so? Once England are knocked out Iā€™ll get dogs abuse but in the unlikely event that they were to win weā€™ll hear no more about it?
England seem to be available at about 12-1, decent odds but probably about right.
Iā€™ll tell you what, Iā€™ll put 100e on them later on today (I donā€™t bet online) and see this one through for the laugh.

Belgium to win by the way.

Ingerland, though I hate to say it, will give anyone pause for thought. I agree a decent team will likely beat them, but itā€™s no gimme. There arenā€™t loads of decent teams playing well however.
Ps Iā€™ve seen in total about ten mins of England playing and am basing my opinion entirely on news clips and recent history.

You wonā€™t get dogs abuse mate, youā€™ll be enveloped in the warm embrace of a forum celebrating their demise.

Albania arenā€™t eliminated yet.

Theyā€™ll be delighted to hear that

That was actually more for @GeoffreyBoycott.

They need 3 wins to get through. Hungary, Italy and Belgium.
Hungary is the tough one.

Donā€™t do that FFS. You say you want to put ā‚¬100 on England later today but at the end of your sentence you say ā€œBelgium to win by the wayā€. You were bigging England up from the start, and they have proven to be shit once again. You have made a mistake on the internet, big deal there are mistakes made here every day. Donā€™t waste that ā‚¬100 on England digging a bigger hole. Walk away from it and admit you were wrong about them and buy yourself a nice pair of tackies with that money. Croatia will win this thing out, thereā€™s plenty of room to jump aboard.

Belgium Croatia semi looks the most likely outcome on their side.

On the other side itā€™s going to be a good old fashioned Jim Ross slobberknocker. e.g. To get to the final Spain are likely going to have to beat Italy, Germany and France. Theyā€™ll earn it if they get through that.

England are value mate, best value at 12-1 of all the teams,
I think Iā€™ll make that bet, forgot about it till now.

Work away i tried to advise you against but ok go ahead.

Put a couple hundred on them, if they win thatā€™s a lot of treats for your kids

I presume we are all behind Hungary hereā€¦

That Chris Coleman seems like an alright sort of fella

You have an interesting concept of value. Value is buying a pair of tackies at 50% off in a sale. I donā€™t know what odds Ireland are to beat Italy but that could be described as value as Italy genuinely have no interest in the outcome. England have about as much realistic chance of winning the tournament as Cork have of winning a senior AI this year in either code. There isnā€™t one English player who would get on the starting 11 for Spain, Germany or France, and maybe a few on the Belgium, Croatia or Italy teams (and thatā€™s a big maybe). England havenā€™t beaten a top ranked team in the knock out phase of a major tournament for decades. You may as well burn the 100.

John Stones would walk on any of those teams.

Jesus mate, Iā€™m beginning to lose patience now, youā€™re talking horseshit. Itā€™s a fucking tournament thatā€™s happening right now, I couldnā€™t give a fuck about what happened decades ago, and if you really believe the first thing then you know very little about football. The 100 is spent now.

Ah ffs, is that Hungarian keeper having a laugh?

Horseshit is calling England the best team in their group by a distance, even though they came second. Anyway, best of luck with your bet.
