Euro 2016

Well, they're more likely to drop their trousers and compare their cocks than they are to have a tear up.

They behave a million times better in the stadium.

I've never second guessed myself when taking friends Family to a Rugby match. Worried that they might get hurt or abused.

Outside of the stadium rugby fans, especially the English, are certainly no better than any other drunken sports fans. Maybe worse in a lot of ways.

Wales have a better chance than England.. by miles. I can see them beating any of the teams on the left hand side on their day - I can see England maybe beating Iceland, ROI or Slovakia.. Definitely not France, Germany, Spain or Italy though.

Entitled, arrogant, drunken boors vs angry, tattooey, drunken boors. We like them both, but which is better?

I conceded that they weren't violent, and I agree that the atmosphere within the stadium itself is far more civilised than at a football game. That said, the tension at a football match can be quite exhilarating, even if it is perpetrated by some seriously dysfunctional members of society.

Suddenly my bet for the title - Belgium: I went out on a limb because to say France would have been boring and predictable - is looking way more likely than it did just over a week ago.

the only obvious solution

nah jonny, you've got it twisted, more a case that england would do better if he was gone entirely...

Sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under.

Croatia have to be the favourite finalist... whomever (if any) gets to final out of Germany, Italy and Spain would have had a full on couple of games.

It feels dirty and wrong to admit it, but it seems that UEFA have actually got summat right in this new 3rd places go through format.

it is confusing, but it gives interest to lots of games that might not otherwise be interesting.

However there was a chance that someone would be eliminated on a 94th miunute yellow card or someting. In those cases I might feel differently

Belfast has to close its fanzone for both Irish matches this weekend because Biffy Clyro:

I know, would rather they left as is, than trying to expand again to make the tournament more manageable group wise...

blame me for the trail of mess from The Prince Blucher Pub Twickenham Green to Richmond BR station.. not my Irish, Welsh, Cornish mates, hic.. maybe you can blame the Scots..

what are the odds for Wales vs Iceland final?
i have £50

Christ....all that crumpled corduroy...** shudders **

You don't know, man...

You weren't there, man etc...

Rugger tops, crumpled corduroy and boat shoes...

*shudders

It's fucking laughable when you're there. I tried to take a picture of 5 guys all in red trousers and tweed jackets for the football thread last time but I bailed as I didnt want to explain to my father in law what I was upto.

Wales, ROI, NI will now all go through to the Quarters...

So as this is our last ever Euro's, shall we make it a laugh...one to remember?

Rooney in nets, Hart centre mid...Ray Lewington up top with Gary Neville
