England entering the tournament typically arrogant, so the fall should be fun. Not sure if they've noticed who they may play in next round even if win their group.

Quarter Finals, expect the choke then.

I was shocked how much they showed of the Erikson incident in the replay. Surely it should have been cut a lot earlier.

Its no longer a problem.

I think they stuck with it in the hope of seeing him "sit up". 29 years old, a reality check for the rest of us. I hope he makes a full recovery although, his playing career is now at an end.

hahaha, PMSL, Gareth Bale playing like a 6 pound a week player with that stupid penalty. What a Burglar to take 600k per week. He should have a severely guilty conscience.

That ball to Ramsey was fairly damn nice though...

yeah bale's penalty was poor but he was involved in pretty much everything else. Nice to see Ramsay actually scoring . He wasted the first two attempts.

I’m watching overseas on a very annoying app which is just a simulcast of a TV channel and doesn’t appear to have a highlights package and definitely no on-demand so I was tuned in for that goal and haven’t seen anything much else!
Lol just the Belgian game they’ve protected on YouTube. Shocker of a pen miss that.

Slightly disappointed Scotland didn’t take all three points. 
England under Southgate are pedestrian.

Disappointed as a Scotland fan to only draw that, but keeps us in tourney and actually played Billy Gilmour after disgracefully not doing so in first match.

Eish, watching Spain play is a reminder of what they were like for decades pre-2008. Exciting and frustrating in equal portions.

Surprising they did not manage to beat the very pedestrian Poland. Incidentally, Polish press is amazed that Lewandowski actually scored since nobody in the team knows how to play with him or accommodate him - he usually is a sad alienated figure when turning out for the national team.

France vs Portugal will be a massive game. While Les Bleus only have to draw to go through, Portugal knows that the Germans are unlikely to drop a point against Hungary. Should be good to watch.
