First topic message reminder :

Rooney woeful? I'm not his biggest fan but he's been pretty good so far, working well alongside Dier allowing Alli to push on further

Ronaldo classless?

He pays more in donations than Messi pays in tax Laugh

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:18 pm

Gera lol

by SecretFly Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:21 pm

Aren't donations often used to lessen the tax burden?

Messi and Ronaldo might not be so different after all. Wink

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:24 pm

As it stands;

1. Hungary
2. Iceland
3. Portugal
4. Austria

England v Iceland!

That could be anything from millions right down to 5 euros

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:35 pm

How many free kicks is he going to have and miss lol

by nadeem2099 Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:43 pm

What an assist by Ronaldo!

by SecretFly Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:44 pm

The Hungarian goal keeper should take off the longjohns - psychologically they aren't a confidence booster for his team.

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:46 pm

Austria missing a penalty... Surely not...

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 5:48 pm

HT as it stands

1. Hungary 5pts +2
2. Iceland 5pts +1
3. Portugal 3pts 0
4. Austria 1pt -3

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:03 pm

I can't see Portugal turning this around now

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:06 pm

Brilliant CR7

by westisbest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:07 pm

Oh joy

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:11 pm

The deflected luck of those two goals for Hungary has been ridiculous

by westisbest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:11 pm

Goal fest

by compelling and rich Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:12 pm

we finally got a game on our hands at this tournament

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:12 pm

Looks like a cracking game between Hungary & Portugal.

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:16 pm

As keown stated, it's just lazy defending turning your back & it deflecting off you. They deserve to go out Portugal

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:19 pm

Austria equalising against Iceland makes it even tighter.

3-3! Ronaldo again!

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:21 pm

England vs Portugal as it stands

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:21 pm

Austria 1 Iceland 1
Hungary 3 Portugal 3

Portugal now in second place and due to play against England if the results end this way.

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:22 pm

Wouldn't bank on anything yet though!

by whocares Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:24 pm

Lol at least I forecasted some goals but not that many! Exciting end of group F at least .

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:28 pm

Literally 1 goal in either game changes the group standings, I'm trying to leave work but I've got both games on mobile/laptop and can't leave my desk!

by whocares Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:37 pm

Hungary players looking toasted.

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:39 pm

If Austria or Iceland score, think Portugal are still in a best third placed position, ahead of Albania

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:44 pm

Yeah Portugal definitely go through in 3rd if they draw. So do Iceland if it stays how it is.

But a goal in either game moves the order around, could do with Portugal not finishing 2nd!

by Marky Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:47 pm

Iceland aren't trying to score...

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:48 pm

Well this is depressing

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:50 pm

ICELAND

by GSC Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:50 pm

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:50 pm

Iceland 2 Austria 1.

England should turn over Iceland - surely?

by SecretFly Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:51 pm

At least the Hungary guys will get some praise from Ronaldo for trying... Wink

by GSC Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:51 pm

Real talk though, don't see how you could moan about England's performances and big up Portugal who haven't won a game in an easier group.

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:52 pm

If Portugal get to move into the easier half - they will be happy with this result.

by whocares Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:53 pm

Fair play to Iceland. Portugal against Croatia?

by Duty281 Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:57 pm

Well done Iceland.

Worth noting that if Sturridge didn't nab the last-minute winner, England would be playing Germany. As it is, that accolade falls to Slovakia.

by GSC Wed 22 Jun 2016, 6:57 pm

Ronaldo always looks like he's taking a dump when he does that celebration

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:00 pm

Population of Iceland = 340,000
Population of Leicester = 340,000

by GSC Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:01 pm

I'm moving

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:10 pm

To Iceland? Something something Kerry Katona

Those changes Woy made will bug me forever

by **owen10ozzy** Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:16 pm

What a day of football so far! Two great games for different reasons.

The difference is little after the Iceland goal..we have what is on paper an easier last 16 tie...but then again given everyone believes we will do better when we play attacking teams perhaps Portugal was the better game to get. Don't see Iceland playing any different to Slovakia or Russia.

Hope tonight's games can live up to this afternoon!

by Ent Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:17 pm

Go on mighty Iceland

Easy route into quarters now...

Are you suggesting Zlatan won't score at least half a dozen sublime goals?

by compelling and rich Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:24 pm

all these experts saying what a great result getting iceland is are going to look stupid when we draw against them and get knocked out on pens

by Guest Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:25 pm

Belgium are pretty much in the semi now

Second round - Belgium vs Hungary
QF -Belgium vs Wales, Northern Ireland or Turkey
SF - Belgium vs Croatia or Portugal or Poland
Then the final.

by Stella Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:28 pm

Whilst Italy win their group and get to play Spain!

by Ent Wed 22 Jun 2016, 7:28 pm

Remember Austria being backed as dark horses lol.

Bit of a crazy tournament so far.

The format is terrible, just have to enjoy the matches I guess.
