Well done Hungary (my parent's birthplace)! Very surprising victory over Austria...but sometimes teamwork and courage beat talent. Now good luck against Iceland.

1-1 with 80 minutes gone.
Not a bad night so far for dodgy bankers, trolls and Bjork.
On the plus side, they are very tolerant of outdoor nudists and regulate light and darkness with considerable creativity.
Re Italy v Belgium, I do accept now that the most bonkers thing about it was Conte's strategic nosebleed.

And the FC Basel player Bjarnasson scored the 1-1.

By the way Horse, where have you been for the last 40 odd years?
It's ROMANIA - not RUMANIA. If you're living in the past like this then you need West germany, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.

A good point.
But my spelling helps hard of hearing patriots who could confuse Romania with Royaume-Uni.
Quote: Stylee TingTing @ 14th June 2016, 10:58 PM BSTI'd better practice my Italian, although it's really not my forte.
Not forgetting the USSR, Sudan and Cathay.
I like Rumania, Columbia and Marseilles.
Rumania, Columbia and Marseilles are spot on in my opinion.
I thought the Italian team was good fun - you could do very well.
Probably already been mentioned.
The mascot for Euro 16 is called Super Victor.
However this is also the name of a sex toy.

Quote: Will Cam @ 11th June 2016, 10:30 PM BSTI was happy for Wales this afternoon. I agree with you that Kane shouldn't take corners. We will have to agree to disagree about Sterling.
PS. Don't forget I am an old curmudgeon.
Sorry for the delay in my reply.
You were right about Sterling's finishing.
Oddly enough he was give 5 out of 10 by one critic and 8 out of 10 by another.
As for tonight, England weren't sassy enough.
I barely left my England wigwam in the living room other than to get a packet of jammy dodgers.
