And my boy Payet. Good result. Kick kick kick.

We’ve got Payet,
Dimitri Payet!
I just don’t think you understand.
He’s Super Slavs man,
he’s better than Zidane.
We’ve got Dimitri Payet!

God, that was a nerve-wrecking game but one of my best times in a stadium ever. i don't think something will ever top me attending the Cup League victory of my local, perennial also-ran, bottom-feeder, ligue 2 team but this may be a close second. Fantastic crowd, great stadium and we were in perfect seats to see the late goals. Kanté is a beast.

Yo MU fans, WTF is wong with Martial ? is he burnt out ? because he was awful today( granted, the whole team was malfunctionning in the first half)

I blame Deschamps and the pressure of hosting (and the inexperience of not having to go through qualifying). Considering not wagering on France again this tournament. Scary shit.

Let's go Wales! Fuck England.

Britter (this is a very clever portmanteau of British + Twitter) seemed pretty pissed off Sterling was getting the start.

Hard to believe this result holds, but if so....the schadenfreude will be almost off the charts.

Some poor dude from Pittsburgh is @woy and his mentions are full of angry England fans.

England must have the dumbest twitter users. Don't they ever look at who the account belongs too? Remember @theashes? That girl got bombarded with cricket tweets every two years.

Have France and England in a 5 team parlay. Two nailbiters down, hopefully three easy wins to go.

Joakim Nordstrom is a Swedish ice hockey player for the Carolina Hurricanes. He is in Paris for the Euro, and spent €500 on drinks for an entire bar of Irish fans.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 9:41 am

man Sweden are boring. 0 shots on target in nearly 2 full games. Ibra's the most overrated player ever.

Ho ho hoooooooly shit.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 12:51 pm

Stupid Croatian fans, comeon Czechs, steal the winner!

Post by **brian** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 12:51 pm

Croatia (and its fans) just totally shit all over themselves.

not sure how much longer there is, the board never went up. Everything went south when the fans started throwing flares.

Turkey kinda lost the plot here.

They're being roasted aren't they?

Can you imagine the sheer volume of Dad jokes that would come out of a Hungary-Turkey quarterfinal match?

Apparently Croatian fans are super pissed at their own FA.

Seems like a good place for this.

Not a lot of Americans are super psyched with ours these days.

Fuck these people. Love to see UEFA turf them out of the tournament - apparently there was brawling during and before the game against Turkey.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 7:49 pm

Yeah, that Guardian article begins to detail the split between Zagreb and Split fans. Essentially, Zagreb has all the moneys and Split is ass out of luck.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Jun 17, 2016 7:58 pm

Logistically its hard to turf a team out of the tournament. It should start the next cycle. Russia and Croatia should be suspended for 2020

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Mon Jun 20, 2016 10:25 am

England's leaked lineup. This will piss people off.

Yeah, this is an embarrassment. They're usually the only ancestral team I can root for in these tournaments, but fuck them.

Croatia got fined a whopping 100,000 Euros.

Wales is putting the hammer on Russia. 2-0 and could easily be 4-0.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Mon Jun 20, 2016 3:16 pm

lol those Russians are a joke, no way they'll have a good squad when they host the WC in two years. Not without Meldonium.

If not for FIFA being shady as shit I'd say that's the group you absolutely want to be drawn into. I don't trust FIFA to not have their finger on the scales for Russia when it comes to it though. (Also, getting murdered by Russian fans after beating Russia in Russia would suck.)

Bale for Wales. 3-0. The Welsh are going through.

In first place for crying out loud.

Question for Tom or the other Welsh. Whats the deal with the green yellow red striped bucket hat ?
The town was filled with Welsh lads all weekend, lots of them wearing that hat.
I asked my Welsh friend but she had no idea.
Thanks.

Depending on Round of 16 results, that French-English quarterfinal ought to be a corker.
