delboy

hard to call tonight's game, Ukraine need to win, England need a draw, first goal will be crucial... oh shit it's on ITV and England generally do quite rubbish on ITV. Think France will cruise past Sweden with ease so am I correct in saying whoever finishes 2nd in the group takes on the ordinary and beatable Spain???

my point is they are just down on them like a ton of bricks, I suspect its cos England might play them. Sign of a top class team is one which can win ugly. Croatia were very unlucky tonight though. The Spanish played awesome against the Irish but that don't count cos the Irish were so awful... swings n roundabouts is the old footy game!

good lord how irritating are pundits? Spain have one poor game and now it's all they are 'ordinary' and looking 'beatable'. Pathetic it really is.

oops cursed them I think!

I think these new head to rules are grossly unfair, it should be goal difference as it always was before. Bloody UEFA and their tampering, they're like pesky bloody kids in Scooby Doo, always interfering. Be sweet if Croatia scored, they certainly had a few good chances.

I think the new team should be forced to be named Club 12! Croatia going out if things stay the same since the pizza munchers are predictably beating the guinness lovers

oh no Roy Keane words of wisdom tonight as the game is on the BBC, I see that channel are hell bent on giving us numerous history lessons, still miles better than Chiles and those bloody adverts.

Is it me or does Ray Houghton have a Scottish accent?

It's weird as there seems to have been more expectation regarding the Irish than the English. I don't get it though, England would struggle to get out of that group! I suppose its the manner of the defeats.

not really sure which game to watch tonight, prob go for the Irish just to hear what Roy Keane has to say!

So, Nicklas Bendtner got fined £80,000 for exposing his sponsored boxer shorts in a match. FC Porto as a whole football club were fined £16,000 for their fans racially abusing Mario Balotelli.

God bless UEFA.

sums them up really, sometimes you get the feeling they really don't give much of a hoot about racism.

I havn't heard it, but the alternative commentary with Chris Moyles and "Comedy" Dave sounds like the worst thing ever. I'd imagine it would put me in some kind of rage coma. I might put it on tonight, just because I love to hate Chris Moyles.

They did a similar thing at the last world cup, I listened for about 15 minutes and it was so woefully unfunny and annoying I simply couldn't bear it anymore. I wish Moyles would do a DLT and resign on air not that I would be listening... he was actually pretty good when he started out but these days is simply terrible and irritating.

yeah I kinda like the 'cloak and dagger' feel of Club 12, it has an air of mystique about it... in reality they should just have listed Club 12 as The Huns Part 2...

Bah as usual the new fixtures are out and I have to wait weeks to see what tin pot outfit we play on the opening day...

bet the odds on the Czechs and plate smashers getting through after the first game would have been good! What a brilliant tournament so far! I don't get particularly passionate or give that much of a shit about England these days but they did awfully well last night. Sure Sweden are pretty piss poor these days but kinda liking this lack of expectation with England. Think they'll be buggered when they come up against one of the top teams mind. And most the players are A1 cocks of the highest order.

Public Image Limited - love the new album bout time Johnny went back to making music and bought the plastic box 4 CD set of old stuff for a tenner on Amazon. Awesome band even the dodgy 80's stuff sounds surprisingly good.

watched the Poland v Czech game, the poles went AWOL second half just weren't in it at all. I see Advocaart has got the PSV job so saves the Russian FA the bother of firing him!

good not just me! what a 2nd half, someone put something in the Swedes half time tea but fair play to England for getting an equalizer, smashing 2nd half

ha had just posted a sarcy comment about the introduction of Walcott!!! woy knows what he is doing...

I think this will be a draw, Sweden always do well against England in competitive matches. The Swedes are out if England win. Thank fuck the game is on the BBC and Lawro co-commentating! He always makes me chuckle!

Stick Rangers or whatever they're going to be called into the BSP, us tinpot non league clubs would welcome the revenue. Here's an uninteresting fact which I am not sure if its actually true or not but apparently Cambridge bought an electronic scoreboard from Rangers and it lasted barely a season. Twas during the dodgy years as well!

anyways onto 'Arry, not sure how much further the spuds could go. I mean it was just bad luck that this season 4th place doesn't get you in the champions league, they punched well above their weight last season and first half of the season played some fantastic stuff. even challenging for the league in January. Ok it went tits up 2nd half of the season but they still did pretty well. Think its probably more to do with the relationship between Redknapp and Levy.

As for tonight's game well the Irish are on a hiding to nothing, deffo need much improvement from Sunday's game but you know shocks happen in football, it can be done... highly unlikely mind!

funny seeing Robben walk off the pitch all disgruntled, silly little man.

that sets up a great finale, the clog wearers have a spring in their step again, mind you Klose is on and I always fancy him to score!

the Dutch were very lucky not to concede a third but at 2-0 they still have a slight chance. Van Der Vart is coming on I think, but the way the Germans finished the half you wouldn't bet against them steamrolling them 2nd half.

the dutch need to sort this out, the gerries look like scoring every time they go forward.

what I meant about Gomez is it sounds like a Mexican or South American surname as opposed to a German one.

The Germans don't even look like they have really started yet. Gomez is ace despite having an hispanic name! Hope Klose comes on later and bags one as well! Still plenty of footy to be played in this one mind.

apparently even if Holland lose they can still qualify by beating Portugal... hope the Germans beat them though.

even the shite commentary hasn't ruined a smashing game, be great if there was some late match drama!
