[Judge Jules]

The bookies make Russia favourites for their game but I wonder whether Slovakia might be the value bet.

France ought to win obv.but they'll find Albania a very tough nut to crack. I don't expect that game to provide good viewing.

 

[Athens]

Sometimes matches like Romania v Switzerland make the best viewing.

I'm not saying that this will definitely be a classic, before anyone pulls me up on it later.

So you're saying it might be a good match and it might not be?

 

[Athens]

Exactly.

 

[manwithnoname]

Exactly.

Boy, is your face going to be red later!

You'll be backtracking and covering your tracks with excuses like a proper divvy

Well, there is the chance that the first half is shit and the second half is good. I hadn't mentioned that earlier, or vice versa.

So, to sum up, the match will either be crap, good, or be both at the same time.

Yeah yeah! Let's wait and see smart arse. I'm bookmarking this for later.

(I don't know how to do this)

 

[tombrown]

Want Russia to equalise so we get the red army artillery

 

[cloggypop]

Boss that

 

[FoxForceFive]

Top corner, fucking lovely goal.

Been a decent enough match so far.

 

[cloggypop]

You dickhead Skrtel

 

[Modo]

You dickhead Skrtel

Gonna be a former dickhead soon.

 

[cloggypop]

Gonna be a former dickhead soon.

I think he'll probably still keep doing it

 

[mark1975]

Good result for Slovakia, this group is wide open. Well, as wide open as a 4 team, 3 game each group can be.

 

[cloggypop]

Breel Embryo!

 

[willby]

Excellent goal by Swiss. Overall, the finishing in the tournament has been underwhelming so far.

 

[Skullflower]

One nil, one one, two one.

Anything else gonna happen in this tournament?

 

[Hansern]

Embolo looks a bit meh so far. Had high hopes for him.

I don't. Seeing as he's going to United.

 

[Hansern]

I don't. Seeing as he's going to United.

Thats not done yet

 

[Athens]

It annoys me that the French have such a great national anthem.

 

[cloggypop]

We should deffo behead our Queen so we can change our one.

 

[Athens]

Are you going to write a new one or use one that's already been written?

 

[cloggypop]

Are you going to write a new one or use one that's already been written?

Just use This Is England by The Clash for now until we come up with something better.

 

[cloggypop]

If we want something more upbeat yet quintessentially English we can have the Benny Hill chase music or the Bullseye theme tune.

 

[FoxForceFive]

If the did a poll I imagine the great escape or dambusters would come depressingly high on the list.

Norn Iron will have to use Alternative Ulster by Stiff Little Fingers in that case.

Here's an idea, why not a medley of all of the above?

 

[keniget]

Giroud is poo.
