Stromboli1 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I might not be able to use the Italy vs Sweden tickets because I read that the Euros are cracking down on fake tickets. They're checking to see that your id matches the name on the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the English fans still chanting when I went to bed. Remember all those tournaments when sections of England's travelling support didn't act like idiots? Me neither, unfortunately. Anyway, stay safe my friend. Hope you enjoy tonight's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Wasn't overly excited about Albania-Switzerland, at least not compared to today's other games, but now I'm quite looking forward to it. The intriguing subplot involving the brothers Xhaka goes a long way to boosting the curiosity factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly after they enjoyed such a superb season as a centre-back partnership. Yeah. He is also probably going to start Fellaini at the n°10, in spite of having Kevin De Bruyne on the squad.

I can still see France making it to the final, a hard-fought win in the opening match is quite often the hallmark of real contenders and it gives them something to build on. Plus, when you have a player like Payet who can bust out a goal of such majestic quality, you've always got a chance. Seeing ALB - SWI, i definitely think Romania will finish 2nd of this group. This victory from yesterday is a very good operation for France, they're almost already qualified. We have to be in the first 3 in the group to go in 1/8, i can't imagine we could not even do a draw vs Albania ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd noticed that the Russian fans had started setting off some of their pyros, but there was one in particular that sounded very loud, at least on television. Quite a scary moment.

You could sense complacency setting in towards the end, and a mistake or a lapse in concentration almost felt like an inevitability. In fairness, they looked decent for the majority of the game, but a really good side would have turned their dominance into a comfortable lead. What came afterwards was shocking in the extreme. This is fast becoming a serious issue for UEFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I quite like Fellaini, but he seems to disrupt Belgium's play more often than not, even in games where he chips in with a goal or two. Do you think Carrasco will get a chance? He's really shown his talent for Atletico as of late, although I'm not sure if I'd consider him a reliable 90-minute performer just yet.
