Who is watching England at home, round your mates or down the pub

Bit late to the party but not watched many of the games. Saw the Germany - Scotland one. Scots were poor and it was always going to be downhill once they went 2-0 down. That no.10 for Germany looks good (Musiala?).

Didn't see much of the games yesterday, only about 10 minutes of the Italy - Albania one. 

Will be tough vs Serbia for England, if they win it'll be by 1 goal, but I think Serbia will score.

Going to a mates we usually alternate between us during tournaments with bbqs and sometimes kids partners as well for the later rounds.

Didn’t realise Hamburg is Germany’s 2nd largest city 

It has the worst road system of anywhere I have ever driven. Also my sat nav didn't like it, told me to stop driving due to danger of drowning (tunnel under the river, I was fine...). Also that massive metal festival thing is near there, possibly to attract Danish visitors as about 50% of all Danes wear Iron Maiden T shirts.

So Netherlands Poland, Denmark Slovakia and England Serbia tonight. 

3-2 Netherlands, 2-0 Denmark, 1-1 England Serbia.  

3-0 to the Dutch

2-2 Denmark/Slovakia

3-1 England 

Can I make an edit - I didn’t take into account Poland would score

This one with my mates. 

Next one, not sure, but most likely at home with my girls. 

Final group game I’ll be in Ibiza. 

I’m very much a club before country person, so I’m a bit ambivalent about England. 

I spend most of the tournaments hoping no Arsenal players get serious injuries.

Cmon Poland!

What makes a man say "I'll go for the corn rows"?

I’m country first with football, and all sports. Whether me being a Pompey fan is linked to this I’m not sure!

Wonder what the scoreline would have been with Lewandowski playing.

Still no upset yet, all the favourites have won their games so far.

I am inclined to think that Scotland *might* be a little upset after the drubbing they got from Germany

I think that’s the 4th goal this tournament that the defender has turned their back and narrowed their width and can’t see or the deflection comes off them

why do they do it?  I thought it was bad that Ageurd used to do it all the time for West Ham last year and it p’d me off.
they have their hands on their sides so it’s not to stop handball ??

Good to see those Slovenian subs getting that 7 seconds on the pitch before the final whistle.

At home, by myself - Our Maud will moan a bit then go off and watch some dross on catch-up...

Bit surprised with A Arnold starting in the holding role with Rice - A bit of a square peg in a round hole I feel - And that is not a dig at AA it is just a case of what we see him do day in/out at club level 

Hootsmon

Prediction? 5:1 to the other guys

Good luck men

Who is this guy “Bellinam” that Furrynan keeps talking about?

They'll be home before the postcards. Load of tosh.
