They did what they needed to do to win the group. yes, we would all have probably liked to have seen more goals but 2 wins and a draw is good enough at this stage.



I don't know how they managed that because by my reckoning England should have lost 4-2 last night they just let the opposition have the ball and keep attacking them instead of going for the second or third goal to kill off the opposition

Well "your reckoning" counts for nothing. It is results that count. Nottingham Forest won the then 1st division title by being a team that soaked up pressure and scored on the counter.

well the Rarewins were played off the park by Denmark

They did well to reach the last 16 but that was a bit embarrassing for them

I think the Danish coach had a lot more savvy than the Welsh one.

Italy scraped through by the skin of their teeth that offside decision for the first Austrian goal was very close could have been the shock of the tournament !

Belgium did just enough against Portugal in the first half after which I switched off and didn't miss much !

well that was more like it Coatia really took the fight to Spain shame they lost but very entertaining

France go out but penalty shoot outs are a lottery

Here's hoping England can remember how to score goals tonight

Spain against Italy was a great game I think the Italians caused themselves a few problems chasing the game at that relentless pace but it was certainly exciting

Did you notice how quick their forward "recovered" from injury in the box when he realised Italy had scored.

Surprised the powers that be haven't taken disciplinary action.

Still don't think our manager is up to it.

Think he has just been very lucky with the quality of players he can pick from.
