Story Bud?

\O/

A MONTH OF INTERNATIONAL (almost) FOOTBALL - IT'S SO EXCITING.

The TV is all set up in the office, the plans and arrangements have been made for the Ireland games. The sweepstake has been done (I'm not going to be winning that one).

Do you think we'll get out of the group?

What are your predictions?

If you're not into it, that's sound, there's probably a lacrosse forum somewhere that you can post in (if there is, I'm going to get shouted at by Mr. Cage).

Mod note:

This thread is about the Euros. THE EUROS!!! This is not about Man Utd vs Liverpool or any of that stuff. Leave all (civilised) club football talk for the soccer forum and don't use this thread as an excuse to post what you cannot post over there. Or face the wrath of becoming a lacrosse fan.

COYBIG!

Won an accum on yesterdays matches, now tempted to put all €7 of it on a Austria and Portugal double today.

Hungover as f**k and Dissapointed for the team they played some great stuff in the first half, Hendrick was very unlucky with his brilliant shot that hit the post, he played very well, Hoolohans goal was brilliant but put the spkike up the swedes to actually do something. Felt sorry for Clarke. Larsson the simp trying to claim the own goal then all the Swedish players went to celebrate with Ibrahimovic. Awful pity Harry Arter is injured, he'd be that extra bit of class to give the team a bit more edge.
Italians were brilliant last night, we have a good chance against Belguim as long as we don't show them too much respect and give them too much space, Kevin "cant look up to give a pass" De Bryune will probably be benched after that last night for Yannick Carrasco which could be a big concern for us

Hopefully the lads have looked at Belgiun and realised they could be there for the taking.
Get at them early and rattle them.

If Italy beat Sweden they will be almost certainly group winners, so they might give their squad players a run out against us and hopefully we can get at them,

But feck that. Let's just beat Belgium and send the 'heirs apparent' home.

I used my paddy power freebet on the ireland draw. Delighted that it won.

Greedy me put the winnings on a Belgium win.

Yeah larson is now on the list. Between that and getting whelan booked when the ref wasn't even looking at the challenge.

A punchable face.

Bizarrely the worst thing we did yesterday was score that goal, it could have lost us the game in the end

dasdog

What a goal, what could have been. I'd have been happy with a draw before the game so no complaints. Italy mean business they were excellent. Don't lose the next (It'll be tough), Italians already through when we play them and just maybe. Great tournoir so far.

Looking forward to catching some of the Portugal V. Iceland game.
I put a tenner on the outside chance of Sigurdsson getting the golden boot. 200/1.

every players surname of the Iceland team ends in son including the subs...only odd one out is the manager who is Lars Lagerback, a surname I kinda like...

Lagerback isn't Icelandic that's why. Co manager with a Icelandic dentist.

The Icelanders have an app that you can use when chatting up or dating someone so you can check if you're related, which is apparently a common enough problem that they made a dating app for it.

They should make one for Clare.

Actually, forget that, they wouldn't use it.

They don't actually have surnames as such. They just go by one given name and use the father's name to distinguish them from others with the Sam name. The Swansea guy's name is just Gylfi for example.

Think you can choose your mother's name too,
Heidar Helgusson is named after his mother I think. Women have dotti or something at end of their name to signify daughter.

Edit dottir Google informs me.

Icelandic surnames (male) are patronymic, so if Gylfi Sigurdsson had a son called Peter his full name would be Peter Gylfisson or something similar

"Dottir" is used in similar fashion for girls names generated from their mother's first name.

I know it's an awful childish thing to say but any team Ronaldo is on, I'm supporting the opposing team.

He's such a douche.

C'mon Iceland!

Should be red card for Pepe. This referee is a galactico fanboi d!ck
