European Championship

I'm in. Hope to see more than three matches...[8|]

To be honest I am not planning to see a single match [:D]

My brain is doing weird things. Only last sunday I was able to drink 3 beers (I had had the last one the 6 july 2015 I guess, before the brain stroke). I wanted to drink a beer but for some reason the brain refused, I could not swallow it (when I tried in october, november etc). And last sunday, bingo! Finally! [:)]

I think I know why: my brain has to know there is only one priority: recovering. Everything else has to be secondary.

In any case, I am pretty certain my brain does not want to watch a single match right now [:D]

I feel generous: here you are a web site which may help you to make your predictions (I'm using it):

I feel the kicktipp is not about winning, it just seems to make more fun as you are involved in a minor tournament. Hoping to score more points that your rival, sometimes knowledge helps, sometimes it is just a fluke.
Please remember to predict the bonus questions. I know I forgot to predict the bonus question for the German Bundesliga last season, cost me a few points. I was still last though.

I agree - it just adds more interest even when (if you support a team like England) your team has embarrassed itself early and exited the tournament long before we get to the sharp end.

That said, I am genuinely excited about how good this England team could be - provided we play to our strengths and not worry about the defence we haven't got.

If we can get Rose and Walker doing what they do for Spurs and creating chances from the flanks, we should have enough firepower Kane, Rooney, Alli + Cahill and Dier from set-pieces to convert those chances.

Quarter Final loss to Portugal I think.

Good, good.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen...

I spent the last 5 minutes screaming for France to get a 3rd (thought i had said 2-0) and so got a nice surprise when I looked at the table [:)]

And I was hoping the result would stay the same.

And I was sooo disappointed with the penalty. [:(] Not that the referee was wrong but it was a dumb move to do. And, even worse, it might have cost me points. [:D]

[warspite1]

C'mon Wales!

Best of luck boys - need a big performance from Sir Gareth of Bale.

[Orm]

Bale!!! [&o] [:D]

[warspite1]

I'm too old for all this.....

I've got a cracking headache now and the England game hasn't even started....

[warspite1]

Totally tired of saying it, tournament after tournament, but we need Rooney to prove his worth now. We really don't wan't to face Wales with a defeat under our belts so.....

Mr Rooney, remember what you did vs Croatia in 2004 (yes 2004)? Well we need more of that.
C'mon England!

There's only one cure...3 points [X(].

Mind you, if the thugs in Marseilles carry on as they are, we'll get kicked out anyway. The news clips seem to indicate this is truly organised mindless violence and some of the scenes are just sickening [:(].

[RichMunn]

I'm really sorry about these mindless thugs, as for the last numerous years I have supported England in football tournaments because it's our league. (I'm a Cardiff City season ticket holder which has had its own problems....)

This time I can support Wales and we have won our first match. Any team with Ramsey and Bale in it has class. We could frighten England on Thursday.

But more importantly, why is it that there has been no issue at all with Welsh football supporters in France and all this with English? (And before you say anything, I know Cardiff City supporters have not bee saints over the years!)

I will support England tonight as well. But how has their hooliganism become a headline when terrorism was the previous one?

So far I intentionally have avoided watching it. [:(] I don't want to get out of my happy that the tournament has begun mode. [:)]

[TulliusDetritus]

That was close: Russians score in min 92 (1:1) and save my a** (2:2) [:D]

Blyat!

[Franciscus]

Oh well...[8|]

When I first made my predictions I bet on a draw (ENG vs RUS), but then stupidly changed my mind...[:'(]

I did the opposite, went for a 2-1 England win first. But then I changed my mind and figured that England wouldn't be likely to break their run of not winning the opening game at a Euro tournament.
