Are we still hoping for a draw in the ROM-ALB game, to boost Irelands chances if we manage to finish 3rd, or has the realism ship come in and docked?

You'll have the lineups as the deadline isn't until just before kickoff at 8.

Just noticed that, of course I went ahead and put Payet in anyways!

Mr.Nice Guy

It's probably not the glamour tie but I think I'll give Romania vs Albania a look seeing as both those sides need to win, which will hopefully lead to some goals.

Scorpion Sting

France: Lloris, Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra, Cabaye, Sissoko, Pogba, Griezmann, Coman, Gignac

Switzerland: Sommer, Lichtsteiner, Schär, Djourou, Rodríguez, Behrami, Xhaka, Džemaili, Shaqiri, Embolo, Mehmedi

Paully D

Two draws.

Scorpion Sting

Romania: Tătăruşanu, Săpunaru, Grigore, Chiricheș, Mățel, Prepeliță, Hoban, Popa, Stanciu, Stancu, Alibec

Albania: Berisha, Hysaj, Ajeti, Mavraj, Agolli, Basha, Lila, Abrashi, Memushaj, Lenjani, Sadiku

Mr.Nice Guy

Oops line-ups already posted.

Come on, Albania. Have Memushaj in my FF team.

Looks like Ruby Walsh

Some very odd choices as pundits in this Euros

Romanian fans seem to have given this one a miss.

They are probably busy getting stuck in outside.

Tuned into the France match but already considering changing to the other one. More reason for Romania and especially Albania to go for the win.

They were talking about him on OTB the other week and he said that he changed his hairstyle deliberately during his career. When he was a footballer, he grew it long so that he would appeal to the fans, and look like some sort of William Wallace type character charging around the pitch. Then when he went in to business he cut it short so that he would look respectable. The OTB guys were very impressed at the depth of his planning.

Now there was a yellow card and a free kick for the same challenge in the Romania game as what happened to Long yesterday

PeterTheEighth

OMG how did nobody get a boot on that it was just hanging there for ages.

Johner

France are horrific at defending set pieces.

Omackeral

Oh boy Brian Kerr on co-commentary. I'll be listening with great gusto to his many gems.

''The defender gave him a bit of an aul hoosh there, George. Nothing wrong with it.''

''Nearly took the head off him there with a high boot, like the boys with Shane Long yesterday.''

''Embolo trying to gerra a hooooook on it''

One game on the laptop and the other on the TV

Hate the way France have to wear their away kit. Red v White is ok tonight, but Wales had to change against England.

Flint Fredstone

Good start to Fra v Swi. Plenty of action.

One TV with France match.
One TV with Romania match.
One TV with Lowry.
One TV waiting for Glenroe to start at 8.30 .. :pac:

Johner

That's a very good save.

Away kits are often worn for marketing purposes even when there is no clash.

Mr.Nice Guy

Good effort by Romania's Alibec.

Albania wearing their away strip too. Yellow and red would be grand I'd have thought.

Pogba playing his way back into the team.

Hilarious how the studio his couldn't figure out what result would suit us best between Albania and Romania.

Ah a draw lads.

nehe milner skudder

france are like a playstation team. frantic.

Johner

Pogba playing well.

Albanian win as well. No difference to us.

Pogba showing those who don't see him every week what the fuss is about.

Hilarious to see people calling him overrated after one bad game. :rolleyes:

Mr.Nice Guy

An Albanian win doesn't look likely on current evidence. Romania don't concede much and Albania are struggling to get out of their half at the moment.

4068ac1elhodqr

Slightly off-topic, but do think S'James are a being bit rude offering the 'Northern boys in green' a tad generous price at 15 to beat Germany,
and massive 450 (2pl 1/2) for Outright (that's triple some other bookies), sure they seem to enjoy putting balls in the net.

And after Belgium, the 'Southern boys in green' are only 3.25 to beat the 'happy to score' Italians.

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh big chance for Albania wasted. He was offside, I think.

RTE2 and TV3 showing one each.

In all my years here I've never seen a joint match thread.

Why?

Surely Romania on 2 points is better than Albania on 3 points

It's an ice rink out there.

With 2 points Ireland will be behind on goal difference anyway so whether Romania have 2 or Albania have 3 it won't matter.

France game is pretty ****e. Very stop start.

irishguitarlad

Albanians harass like mad, full of energy.

A Primal Nut

Hopefully the Romania - Albania game stays a draw until late on. It would be exciting to see both teams desperately trying to score which is rare, usually it's one team trying to score and the other one hanging on.

Mr.Nice Guy

Albania spurning decent chances.
