Euro 2016 (Football)

[Bleipriester]

They are freaking out here, Lucy. Did anyone win?

It was Northern Ireland 0 Germany 1.

It could have been 0-5, but the Northern Ireland Goalkeeper made some excellent saves.

Yeah, that shit has been using EMs/WMs to do it all day/night long. I guess that was only the lull before the storm.

Ten years ago, large convoys of shit drove by honking hourly - day and night. On EMs/WMs, it didn´t stop at all. I changed but it was still the same.
Today, it has decreased but I guess it is because they are too busy with their little boys.

So the UEFA Euro 2016 football begins today in France and goes on until July 10th.

I've started this thread for anyone who'll be following the tournament and wants to comment etc. Myself, I'll attempt to give updates each day.

The opening match is France vs Romania, which France should win. The Romanian's aren't the sort of team they had when Gheorghe Hagi and Dan Petrescu represented that nation.

Here's the UEFA Euro 2016 official website, with the match fixtures.

You're on your thing that's too small for your hands?

The KO is very soon, Argentina to win, people will be shocked around the world if they don't.

Argentina FIFA World Ranking 1, USA FIFA World Ranking 31.

Viva República Argentina.

This is the team for tonight.

Argentina XI.

Romero; Mercado, Otamendi, Funes Mori, Rojo; Augusto, Mascherano, Banega; Messi, Higuain, Lavezzi

Substitutes: Roncaglia, Cuesta, Lamela, Kranevitter, Agüero, Biglia, Maidana, Guzman, Pastore, Andujar, Di Maria

This is the Argentine formation 4-3-3

They've just KO.

USA 0 Argentina 1 Ezequiel Lavezzi goal at 3 minutes. This could be a total thumping for the USA.

The God Lionel Messi could have made it 0-2 then.

USA defence is in complete disintegration already.

The always filthy looking Clint Dempsey just elbowed Javier Mascherano in the face and the Referee had stern words with him, I can see Dempsey getting carded in this match.

USA 0 Argentina 2 Lionel Messi goal at 31 minutes, stunning, from a corner, Messi into the top right-hand corner of the goal.

Lionel Messi has a beard now, that's not a contemporary picture of him.

USA can't even keep hold of the ball, Argentina are all over them like white on rice.

OMG this is just gorgeous stuff.

Now playing 45 + 1'

HT USA 0 Argentina 2.

SH has just KO.

USA just made a substitution, um, they've brought on a 17 year-old who's getting Cap 6, bizarre decision to do this when they're playing Argentina FIFA World Ranking 1 and they're losing 0-2.

USA 0 Argentina 3 Gonzalo Higuaín goal at 50 minutes.

This could be 4,5,6-0 to Argentina, I can now envisage this situation, this match is finished for the USA, it could be total humiliation.

Argentina substition at 56 minutes, Augusto Fernández off and Lucas Biglia on.

WTF?! I had 4 hours sleep and then had to go to an appointment for 11am, but it was worth staying up to watch the below match.

USA totally torn apart by Argentina, I think that was one of the few matches I've ever watched where the opposition team hasn't even had ONE shot at goal for the duration of the whole match.

I'd like the Copa America Centennial Final to be Argentina vs Colombia, but I feel it'll be Argentina vs Chile.

Here are all 4 of the Argentine goals.

So the UEFA Euro 2016 football begins today in France and goes on until July 10th.

I've started this thread for anyone who'll be following the tournament and wants to comment etc. Myself, I'll attempt to give updates each day.

The opening match is France vs Romania, which France should win. The Romanian's aren't the sort of team they had when Gheorghe Hagi and Dan Petrescu represented that nation.

Here's the UEFA Euro 2016 official website, with the match fixtures.

UEFA EURO 2016 - Matches - UEFA.com

Edited for spelling error.

Today's matches.

Group F.

Iceland vs Austria KO at 6pm in 50 minutes at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis which is about 10 km North of Paris.

The situation is that we need to win this match.

Hungary vs Portugal KO at 6pm in 50 minutes at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu which is about 11 km West of Lyon.

This could be a draw.

The other thing is, I don't care what happens now, NOTHING can disappoint me NOT after Argentina's destruction of the USA last night and that Argentina will be in the Copa America Centennial Final.

Also no matter what happens in our match against Iceland today, the below team will still be in Euro 2016, so even if we don't win, my family as a whole wins as the other two nations closest to our hearts, Argentina will be in the Copa America Centennial Final and could win the Cup and Germany the nation of my Mother will still be in Euro 2016.

HT Iceland 1 Austria 0.

We missed a penalty, bizarre happening as Aleksandar Dragović takes the identical penalty that Cristiano Ronaldo took, hitting exactly the same left post.

If you miss a penalty, you deserve not to win.

HT Hungary 1 Portugal 1.

Excellent that our great friends Hungary are topping the Group, also excellent that they're being watched at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais by the great Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán.

SH about to begin.

We don't think we're going to win, we don't deserve to win missing that penalty. Still we're not unhappy about this situation, as I said Argentina are in the Copa America Centennial Final and Germany are still in Euro 2016.

That we had an exemplary record in the Euro 2016 Qualifying matches, we played 10, we won 9 and scored 28 goals and that we're FIFA World Ranked 10 is okay with us.

This is how emotionally mature people think and react and also Iceland have been very impressive and we like the Icelandics.

Group F.

FT Iceland 2 Austria 1, Iceland get a goal literally seconds before the whistle, total drama.

What a remarkable achievement for Iceland, a nation of just over 300,000 people, they have our congratulations. This is what emotionally mature people do, congratulate the other team, this is the sporting spirit.

FT Hungary 3 Portugal 3.

Hungary top Group F, our friends, well done to them.

Viva Magyarország, Viva Viktor Orbán.

Aus got one. And #7 Aus has most ridiculous man bun all-time.

Yes that's Marko Arnautović, his father is Serbian, hence his name, we like the Serbs and of course the Croatians we also like, great members of our European Family.

Marko Arnautović hasn't always had that sort of hairdo, I don't know what the thing is with these man buns, there's an alarming amount of them now.

The condition of the pitch is awful, I think Ireland perhaps should have had a penalty.

Pre-KO I thought Italy to win, but I now think this could be a Republic of Ireland win or even a draw.

The roof of the Stade Pierre-Mauroy is now closed.

I still say Belgium to win.

26th June.

Hungary vs Belgium and Germany vs Slovakia and The Republic of Ireland vs France.

27th June.
