The Top looks like some abomination of a Scotland top and the socks are this tequila sunrise nightmare. All together it is really hideous. Really? Worse than that pink rag we currently have as an away top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boynze Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 does seem a bit of a joke format, i really hate when uefa contrive to make the so many best second or third place or whatever quality, that is a very poor way to make up the numbers. should be top 2 from each group and go from there. have the correct number of groups to allow it be.

It lessens the chances of any real shocks....it's highly unlikely that any of the 'big' countries will get knocked out under this format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 16 team Euros were great, hopefully we'll return to it. Given that it was Scotland's proposal to increase it to 24 and we still couldn't make it to the finals, might as well campaign to reverse the decision...

weekevie04 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Or we skoosh it up to 32 for the next one with the usual top two qualify format , that way we might qualify, but mibbaes naw, Bosnia-Herz, Serbia, Holland, Denmark, Slovenia, Norway, Israel and us?

McTeeko Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Lee Dixon said last night that three 0-0 draws give you an 87% chance of getting through to the second round ? Edited June 11, 2016 by McTeeko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe have quarter-finalists qualifying automatically for the next tournament? I don't see UEFA expanding to 32 teams anytime soon, unless there's a lot of new UEFA members joining the near future...

iainmac1 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I like this format. Games mean something right down to the last game. No being knocked out after 2 games. Gives smaller countries a chance to get out of their group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 England really unlucky not to win that match. Russia are an awful team to watch. England's defence will be found out in later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewolf_1980 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I suspect England might have to find some bona fide central midfielders if they want to win this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm licking my wounds after waging a hefty sum on England - the Sony was nearly flying out the window when the equaliser went in.

I think the Hart love in is brilliant, the guy is average at best, the English media think he is world class, I can't wait for him to flap one into his goal.

Hart looked like the real deal when he first broke through but he hasn't kicked on and he's suffered from not having any real competition at either club or international level.

Orraloon Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I was a wee bit concerned about England before the tournament started but after watching them last night I am now fairly confident that they will make their usual QF tournament exit. They will be given an easy draw in the last 16 but they can't avoid the decent opposition after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
