"No one could ever accuse Rooney of being gay."

Or of having too much hair for that matter!

You must be gutted where the Hell are you going to find an Iceland shirt in Thailand?

Shame - Portugal did enough with their draw to take one of those 4 third place spots in the KOs. But they get Croatia who were significantly better than Spain 24 hours ago.

[MrRed]

I tell you what i will stick by by country through thick am thin we have been poor in some sits but i am English so i am used to it

[StevieH]

one of:

Switzerland

Poland

Croatia

Wales

Northern Ireland

[salty]

Incredible scenes in Lille as Robbie Brady heads the winner with 5 minutes to go to put us into the last 16.

[MyFrenU]

Wales will play Northern Ireland now,the home nations are taking over the Euros it's fantastic!

[nev]

All the British isles team in the last 16 top stuff, Scotland

I can honestly say that was the most exciting night of group stage football I've seen, and completely unexpected. Ireland topped it all. But then there was Iceland too. Obviously as an England fan it had resonance, one minute we're up against Portugal, the next, Iceland. The Iceland commentator went mad when they hit the winner, it's on 5live podcasts. Congratulations to Wales, N.Ireland, and Ireland on qualifying in such fine style. And iceland of course.

The game that intrigues me is Wales v N.Ireland. Wales are the favourites I guess, but they are very dependent on one man, whereas NI are better as a team. Wales could not cope with England at all to the point of being outclassed, so I personally have my doubts. it could be a very, very close affair, maybe go to penalties.

Same place you buy Leicester shirts; good luck with that.

fantastic for all four teams,wales,england,NI.and republic I.

i wonder how many paddy's booked flights home before the italy game.

[mrbojangles]

Fantastic stuff. Even with loads of changes Italy still had plenty of quality and big names playing. Chuffed to be an Irish Citizen (by descent)

[Chicog]

Great to see that arrogant Swedish turd going home. Just a shame that the Portugese douche isn't going home with him.

Oh, and if anyone is interested, the Copa America final will be the Argies vs Chile.

Thanks for the heads up; sounds lipsmacking - Aguero + Higuain up against in-form Vargas and Alexis. Must try and watch - I think True visions is showing Copa America matches but haven't dipped in so far

oh you'd like to think so.

interestingly, in the list of famous austrians, arnold schwarzenegger is listed in the 'politicians' section. alongside adolf hitler. which you wouldn't probably put for either of their first choice job descriptions.

You may not see much of Aguero. It's been Higuain starting every game. Nice sub to have.

We the vikings (Icelandic and Norwegians and a few Swedes) are ready to invade England again like we did 1200 years ago.

After the game we will get ready to say the famous words "your boys took a hell of a beating tonight" Cameron and Churchill as well as Maggie Thatcher will be included in the rant.

Get ready England!

I always thought us northerners were descended from Danish vikings.

[Chicog]

And before anyone starts banging on about Brexit, we will continue to participate in European competition much like the blue suede shoes do now.

So don't even start.

If we weren't in Euro maybe we could bring back the Home Championship then even Scotland would qualify. BOOM TISH!

No Irish in me, but I do have some Welsh connection.
