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.
I just read that the plan is for the Croatian hooligans to invade the pitch and attack the ref in the 30th minute. Hopefully something is done to prevent this.
Lord save us from these idiots.

Not very smart to publicize that, but I guess we're not talking about rocket scientists here. Hopefully the gendarmes get to crack some dudes in the head.
Start with a BS call, follow up with BS keeper encroachment, serve up a hot tasty cup of BS shot and we just wind up right back where we were before all this nonsense ever happened.
Good times.

So random question from a friend.
England does not have an official national anthem but typically uses 'God Save the Queen'. Northern Ireland are loyalists and 'God Save the Queen' is their national anthem. So when England plays Northern Ireland do they play just one anthem?
No offence to any Northern Irishmen... but that's a bit of a joke.
That is a terrible team. Their keeper doesn't have the game of his life, and Germany's shots off the bar and post were a few inches over, and they easily lose 6-0 today.
And somehow Spain plays Italy in this round?
They are salivating in Wales and France right now.

I think logistically that's a nightmare. Tickets were bought months in advance and people guess where their teams will go. It's just a one off this time because the odd groups had favorites win and even groups didn't causing them to move to the other side. Spain thought they were in Lens for sure, now their fans have to scramble to get to Paris.
Like in 2010 when Donovan scored against Algeria causing England to play Germany right away.

Yeah, I was being 100% sarcastic

True, I was just looking at the first knockout game.
Right now, wouldn't you say that Croatia looks like a shoe-in for the Semis? Either Slovakia, Sweden , Iceland or Austria, and then Switzerland or Poland.

They certainly have one hell of a shot. I'd almost say Belgium is the favorite on that side, which will be fun to see how that team is viewed if it gets to the final given the expectations that have been put on it.

Yeah Switzerland is scary too. They don't give up any goals, have to beat them in a shootout.
If Portugal win today, there will be a Belgium-Portugal 2nd round match which would be interesting.

Iceland need only a draw to go through. (though hopefully they don't play for one. Austria is dangerous. And they're guaranteed to go through with a win. These two games should be really interesting since just about everything is in play.
I don't think both of these results will hold, but if so. Considering that four of the six third-place teams advance....what kind of odds do you think you could have gotten from a bookmaker that both Portugal and Austria would be eliminated after the group stage? 50 to 1? Something in that ballpark maybe?
