Lovely Lucy, they played Iceland announcer during stoppage time goal on radio. I thought he was going to die!! Very sporting of u to acknowledge Ice victory.


As sidenote, I was so ignorant I thought Iceland was Greenland. I need to look up Wales and Iceland.......

Tonight: Col vs, Chili start soon.

"Lovely Lucy, they played Iceland announcer during stoppage time goal on radio. I thought he was going to die!! Very sporting of u to acknowledge Ice victory."

Yes it's a wonderful moment for Iceland and the Icelandic people, they've got a very good team, the England team could struggle against them, they defend exceptionally well as we saw and their Goalkeeper is excellent.

We're sporting types, you can't begrudge a deserved win, you must congratulate them and be pleased for them.

Hungary topping the Group was also a good moment, our friends the Hungarians, who I'm confident are going to beat Belgium, I've been very unimpressed with Belgium, Hungary have been stunning, they deserve to continue in the tournament.

"I was so ignorant I thought Iceland was Greenland."

Well, they both have the word land in them, so :itsok:

Colombia vs Chile, I feel Chile to win, won't be watching this as I need to get to some more sleep, I hope to get up and hear that Colombia have won as they'd be the easiest to face in the Final, but I'm saying it'll be Chile.
 
Irish advanced. They had so many chsces vs. Italy blow up on them until they got late goal.

Go sleep. I was upset they start games SAME TIME! You must pick or go back forth on remote. If offset only 20 min......

How do those fans pay to travel and stay weeks? Each team has many.

So Colombia 0 Chile 2 at 28 minutes.

Yes that was great for the Republic of Ireland, they have to play France now, like Belgium I've not been that impressed with the French team.

We missed the best match, Hungary vs Portugal, but Mr. Lucy remembered to record it, so we'll watch it probably on Saturday.

The fans probably cut down on buying Bonbon's, that way they have more lucre for travel, although Europa isn't expensive to travel around and they've only got to get to France.

I must listen again post-nap to Johann II's "Wiener Bonbons", a wonderful and rousing thing.

I love Bonbon's.

I love Mozart Bonbon's the most.

We were all over Slovakia. It's incredible that we didn't get a single goal.

Hey Tilly are you having Welsh, is it Rarebit? Why is it called this?
The origin of Welsh rabbit (rarebit)
Now often known as Welsh rarebit, this dish of toasted cheese was originally known as Welsh rabbit… but why?

There is no evidence that the Welsh actually originated Welsh rabbit, although they have always had a reputation for being passionately fond of it (a fourteenth-century text tells the tale that the Welsh people in heaven were being troublesome, and in order to get rid of them St Peter went outside the Pearly Gates and shouted ‘Caws pobi’ (Welsh for ‘toasted cheese’)—whereupon all the Welsh rushed out and the gates were shut on them).

A more likely derivation of the name is that Welsh in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was used as a patronizingly humorous epithet for any inferior grade or variety of article, or for a substitute for the real thing (thus a Welsh pearl was one of poor quality, possibly counterfeit, and to use a Welsh comb was to comb one’s hair with one’s fingers). Welsh rabbit may therefore have started life as a dish resorted to when meat was not available. The first record of the word comes in John Byron’s Literary Remains (1725): ‘I did not eat of cold beef, but of Welsh rabbit and stewed cheese.’

Sounds about right. Lol.

When I first heard this, I thought they were meaning Welsh Rabbit, which isn't nice, only evil people eat bunny rabbits :crybaby:

Too cute to eat :smile:

This should be in anotherlife's Classical Music thread, that thread we're both in Tilly, but I was thinking of Bonbon's and then of course "Wiener Bonbon's"

So I post the below in this Euro 2016 thread :smile:

Johann Strauß II "Wiener Bonbons" Walzer, Op. 307, which he composed in 1866.

They're gorgeous :smile:

Bedtime is on hold, due to Kid B not following orders from Mama and Papa :eusa_doh:She must learn that all resistance is futile or something :lol:
 
25th June.

Switzerland vs Poland and Croatia vs Portugal and Northern Ireland vs Wales.

26th June.

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

27th June.

Italy vs Spain and England vs Iceland.

Would been those:

Suiss
Croatia
Wales
Belgium
Germany
Ireland
Italy
England

I hope not the Glory nation France to quarterfinals. Ireland win 2-1 after golden goal.

Croatia vs England in final match would be nice.¨

Is this the line in the right order then it will be the final hope concerning about.

Croatia or England, I hope. Wazza or Modric will lift Euro dent.
 
Colombia vs Chile, I feel Chile to win, won't be watching this as I need to get to some more sleep, I hope to get up and hear that Colombia have won as they'd be the easiest to face in the Final, but I'm saying it'll be Chile.

No. Colombia.
 
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.

Round of 16.

Switzerland vs Poland KO at 3pm at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Étienne.

Poland to win, this could head into Extra Time and a possible penalty shoot-out.

Wales vs Northern Ireland KO at 6pm at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

So it would be wonderful for Northern Ireland to win.

Croatia vs Portugal KO at 9pm at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens.

Croatia to win, again this could head into Extra Time, but I don't think a possible penalty shoot-out.

Granit Xhaka took Switzerland's second penalty, a spectacular miss, way wide of the left post.

Poland into the Quarter Finals.

FT Wales 1 Northern Ireland 0, Gareth McAuley own goal at 75 minutes.

This match should be in ET now, it was heading for 0-0 at FT, an uninspiring match, as a whole Northern Ireland were the better team, especially in defence and midfield, so it's a tragic way for their tournament to end.

Wales into the Quarter Final.

ET Croatia 0 Portugal 1.

ET more eventful than the Normal Time match which wasn't very exciting. The last 12 minutes could on another night, have resulted in 2-1 to Croatia, Ivan Perišić hit the post on 116 minutes, within a minute with a fast counter-attack, Cristiano Ronaldo had a shot saved by Danijel Subašić, but then Ricardo Quaresma scored on the rebound at 118 minutes, then at 121 minutes Domagoj Vida had a hooked shot which narrowly missed becoming a goal, just skimming past the post.

FT AET Croatia 0 Portugal 1.

Portugal into the Quarter Final.
