\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!

C'mon Ireland!

Apparently they've been practising "over the bread van" set pieces to take full advantage of the treble score.

I've gone for Aritz Aduriz for Spain top scorer at 33/1. Morata is more likely to start the games but can see Aduriz being brought in to crack defenses towards the end of games, or even the two of them upfront together, big, aggressive, and good in the air, scored a lot of goals for Athletic Bilbao this season.

Yeah I reckon he's sub alright but banking on him getting a break and taking it. Going with his Roy of the Rovers ending to a so far very romantic season.

I don't think he'll dislodge Kane in the England setup, if they are qualified after 2 games he'll get a start.

C'mon Ireland

Word on the streets is that Sterling is starting ahead of Vardy tomorrow.

I don't know if he'll start but when he gets a run out I think he'll grab the chance. At 33's for top scorer he's worth a tenner of my money for fun.

45/1 combined England win and Vardy top scorer too.

Iceland to top the group 6/1
Vardy top scorer 33/1
Germany top scoring team 16/5

That's my tenner treble for a laugh.

Ireland to get zero points.

England to bottle it like usual when they play a decent side.

Italy to win it beating France in the final and Germany in the semi.

Will England do ok or will they fail as usual ? The 1966 bandwagon is bursting at the seams. Considering they have such a large pool of good players but they fail to play well together. Paddy Power have them @9/1.

I cant wait to hit Bimbos Burgers at half time.

France for me, or Wales.

We (ireland) wont be as bad as four years ago. Might get through as one of the best 3rd placed teams. England as well to scrap through.

See there has aready been trouble in Marselle between French Ultras and English Fans.

Its kicked off early.

Oh I can't wait for tonight. I'll have a big ol' bag of cans and a pack of those Thai Sweet Chilli crisps.

If we Greece our way to the trophy with the most eye bleeding football ever to exist, I'll be delighted.

Might as well stay at home.
I hope we play expansive attacking football in a spirit of optimism and adventure and go down blazing.
It's supposed to be a game.

Have you ever played a game? The point is to best your opponent, it's why things like this exist. That's where the beauty lies. If you want something aesthetically appealing you'd probably be better off making a fresco or something.
