The Spanish away jersey looks like the players have thrown up their lunch (maybe a pizza) on it.

Reminds me of the birds shit on the shoulder Tottenham shirts of a few years ago.

I genuinely like it a lot, especially from a distance. Jackson Pollock meets Sergio Tacchini in the 1980s.
We need a Hungary thread!
Not a bad little game eh? That's the sort of game for the neutrals.
Hungary wins the group which is madness (I'm very happy for them not only because I have Hungarian roots). Even madder: Portugal doesn't win a match yet reaches the 1/8 finals. I think they should change the system for the next Euro.
Brilliant from Ireland, thoroughly deserved that win.

Italy won the 1982 World Cup after 3 draws in the group stage.
Nothing against Sweden but thank f**k we don't have to see that ugly, arrogant tosser Ibrahimovic any more in this tournament.

Yes, but at least they finished second in the group.
But this new system is ridiculous...now an underdog-team can lose two matches (and therefore confirm its underdog/loser status!) yet advance as third of the group to the ko-stage where it loses 6-0 to Germany, Spain or whoever.

Poor Steve.
Luckily he has won at a lot of other tournaments.
Had a hunch that Ireland might get past France, and we'll get an England vs Republic quarter-final.
Have Ireland scored too early though, and can they hang on?
(Obviously Iceland can't be written off either.)

The British side is struggling.
Reminds me of the first two cod wars before we joined the EEC.

Just have a feeling that politicians and banks are creating loads of bad news in this 90 minutes on the basis that no one will notice what is happening, Brrrr-England will win it and when people find out how terrible it is they will say "what the f**k, Brrrr-England won". But if it looks like Iceland will win after 66 minutes, the same brains are going to have to reverse all the very dark stuff they are doing. Yes. It will be a right old dogs dinner by midnight.
