Meh, us Scots just get drunk and join the Irish fans anyway. Every time I visit America everyone thinks I'm Irish.
In all honesty even if we managed to scrape our way in, we'd be one of the teams going home on 1 point. Maybe even 0. Our national team has been shite for ages and we breed terrible footballers. I'll blame the weather and our lack of vitamin D.

Would have honestly preferred Portugal, we've shown we can't do fuck all if a team just decides to defend, we'll just pass the ball around all game and tire ourselves out, and Portugal doesn't defend much.

Every team in the last round of 16 will be a threat. Germany only managed a 1-0 win over northern Island. 1 freaking nil

Why does he wear the mask!?
If somehow Portugal gets its shit together from now on (which i hope it will happen!) and eliminates Croatia , i think we can go all the way and win the final (hopefully against France...we have some shit to avenge from other tournments)
Usually Portugal against "smaller" teams has a tendecy to play really bad so maybe against Croatia we can finally play a little better.
Also about today´s game we got a lot of bad luck , 2 of their goals the ball touched on one of your players , one even fouled Patricio.

Iceland not in there?
I think you're onto something here. Romania scored only from penalties.

Great to see Hamrén go. Tactically inept.
Sad that this was the last time we saw Ibrahimovic, Isaksson and Källström.

Great to see Ireland go through. Well done!
Looking forward to it. You guys have a bit of stardust, which we just don't have, so it has to be in your favour. At least one of us makes it to the quarters.
I mean, it's nice and all and a change of pace from your typical 'on the street football fans' but I wouldn't exactly call it "fixing" haha.
That is still going to cost the owner a hefty sum of money to actually fix.
Can't see us getting to the WC with a newish team and that qualifiying group. Let's build for the next Euros!

Not exactly euro-topical but ehh.

You should probably sit that one out.
It is a sport that learns you something about the environment, where people earn epic names like The Machine and The Gorilla, where they get hit by a motorcycle and consider actually finishing a race. Compare that to a sport that looks like the one Simpson episode about soccer. As such, sunday I'll be enjoying the Belgian championship cycling.

As someone who lives on this island and wants to win stuff I actually agree with you.

Certainly be more interesting than watching England kicking the ball at a wall for 120 minutes.
He's 31, no indication right now that at 35 years of age he won't be capable
Amazing!
We did score against Belgium, but we got robbed by the ref.
Such a fucking letdown this Euro. Just like in 2012. Hopefully things will be better with a new headcoach.

They've already won against Slovakia so I'm not sure how you can say they're weaker than them. I'd also fancy Wales to beat Hungary, Iceland and Switzerland. They're much better than ROI and NI.

"I dont get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not"
Rofl!
"I spoke to the referee afterwards, I was annoyed, but there were no bad words. I just said he was a buffoon"
Lol, yeah Buffoon is one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time!1
Sweden got fucking robbed. Zlatan's goal was legit and no reason to call a foul.

England actually has a good keeper, but for some reason he's sat on the bench whilst Mr. Head and Shoulders fannies about in goal.
The problem with a Great Britain side is that everyone would want to be fairly represented. There'd be some ridiculous rule stating that the team must have an equal amount of Scots and Welsh and...
The fact is, Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey aside, no one is better than what England already has.
I'd very much like to see a Great Britain side for the Olympics all the time though.
Believe it. Personally, win or lose, I'd rather watch a game of football than a 120 min game of Spot followed by the penalties lottery.
I may be proven wrong but I'm not overly concerned about Iceland. Portugal on the other hand have some great players and we have a difficult history regarding major championships, I'd fear that 2-3 of our players would get sent off after being antagonised by some of Portugal's professional wind-up merchants
It's interesting as England have had some good results against some of the top teams recently (France were suffering, so I guess we should discount that one). However, when we've played Germany and to a lesser extent Holland, they looked OK.
Really, what it's about is that if we got knocked out by Portugal we can call the Wahmbulance and say 'but look at all of their great players'.
When we get knocked out by Iceland, the excuses well is dry (apart from, 'yeah, but they eat whales and we beat them in the first round').

The longer it takes for England to score against Iceland the harder that game is going to be for us to win. We know we can't break defensive teams down and as we press more and more Iceland could punish us with a counter.
If we score early then I can see it being the big blowout result that Roy has been promising. If we haven't scored by half time I can see Iceland winning 1-0
I would much rather see England progress, but it would be amazing for Iceland to continue this fantastic run.

Sucks that we (Sweden) lost and got eliminated after what was by far our best game (in which we also scored the first goal, which was stolen from us). This game really could have gone either way, we were better than Belgium a lot of the time. But now we're gone, Ibrahimovic is gone, and also Isaksson and Källström (who both did more useful things than Zlatan in this game). The state of Swedish football is just sadness (or would be if I cared that much about football).
If we had only played against Ireland as we did yesterday! Oh well.

In his Slovakia post match interview he suggested that someone would be on the wrong end of a hiding from England soon (taken from BBC sport website), and that the goals will come soon and we will make someone pay.

Nobody thinks Iceland are push overs, they've made it this far for a reason. But realistically speaking they're a bit less scary than Portugal.
Well, that's certainly something. Any context?
Looks like they are getting ready to get a spray tan
