Slovokia, Portugal, and N Ireland have qualified. Either Turkey or the third place in the last group will qualify. To repeat Sweden and/ or RoI win - Wales will play N Ireland (unless Sweden beat Belgium by four, then see below). France will play whoever finishes third in Italy's group. Sweden and RoI both fail to win, Wales play Turkey and NI play France. Two confirmed fixtures are Germany play Slovakia and Croatia play Portugal.

Coppello Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 After that last minute goal, Portugal have probably done themselves a favour. Although they'll come up against a good Croatian side, they've got themselves into the favourable side of the draw. If that win that they could quite easily make it to the final.

cidercity1987 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 How is it fair that the Albanian players, staff and fans have to stay in France on the off chance they go through! The more I think of it, the more it is clear that whoever organised this layout is a ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Imagine losing to Iceland. In population terms it's like playing Swindon for a place in the quarter finals. Not hard to imagine what their tactics will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to work on shooting accuracy, the Icelandic keeper is really bad (not that they have a large pool to choose from) pepper him with shots, even if they're from range, and we should do fine. if Roy realises this then it's the ideal game for Harry 'shoot whenever I can see a goal' Kane, regardless of his form.

An Ireland playing pretty much as well as they can, against an Italy at the moment treating it as a training match. Which about balances out. Would be feeling very hard done by mind on that penalty shout. Basically, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Fear for them the longer it goes like this, as they will have to throw more forward, and run the increasing risk of getting caught out. Certainly only one team going for it a the moment, and would love to see the Italiens get blown up once or twice for some of their black arts.

cityexile Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Crossing very poor from Ireland from set pieces. Might be their best chance and need to get them in the mixer, rather than catching practise for their goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
