I'm rooting for Austria and Romania and I have hopes mostly for Austria, but who knows?
Hehe, I have tickets and I'm going to Romania-Albania, the derby for the 3rd place in the group.

Signed up in the Fantasy League.
I think Spain, Germany, France and England will get to Semis.

Hopefully it's a fun game! I am dreading the match against France lol. The Swiss game should be fun since there are a bunch of Albanian speaking players on the Swiss team.
I'm from Norway, so I guess I'll be supporting Sweden and Iceland this time around, and the Manchester City players in general, as that's my favorite team.
I'm actually going to be there for 10 days, from June 14th to June 24th - my first Euro's! I'll be staying in Cannes with some friends, and we're going to see Belgium - Sweden, Ukraine - Poland and Spain - Turkey!

I'm Dutch and this is what I think of our fans.

/ Why not Tuskland.
That's Germany, right?
Tyskland. But pretty close
This time I want Italy in a knock out game against us.
No Balotelli and Pirlo should even things a bit out.

I am sooooooo hypedddd!!!
Even though I'm part Portuguese and I've got family in Germany and England, I've historically supported Spain because of my love for Barca.
However, I'm kinda feeling either France or Deutschland for this tournament.
Euro 2016 + Copa America Centenario = Pure bliss for football fans

I'm so salty.
You could only be salty if you thought we had any right to be there based on our performance.
Which we don't, we were abysmal and deserved to lose. As your picture illustrates, you pretty much only had to show up to your poule-matches and go through to the tournament and we couldn't even do that. We have no business going there and should be ashamed, not salty, about it.

C'mon Wales! Expecting the worst but you never know. Have to sort out a new avatar now considering the tournament is around the corner (and Vincent Tan is no longer the Devil incarnate).
Also hope Iceland do well, solely due to Aron Gunnarsson being a Cardiff City player.
Used to love listening to the Guardian's football podcast, will have to pick it back up for the Euro's.

Yeah but Gylfi is from swansea. That must be conflicting for you
Ok, WalesFootyGAF, what are our chances of doing well? Fat, Slim or No?
I'll be digging out the old flag regardless, especially for our dicking by the Saes next week.

I just did a simulation, you guys are wining for sure. Trust me

Obligatory Wales?
Seriously, I'm glad you guys made it in.
Like all Englishmen, I'm always glad to have a backup supporting option after our inevitable disappointing performance in the group stages.
At least one of my relatives is Welsh, so that's good enough for me (and probably a few of the Welsh players too).
I'm so salty.
Fucking Norway man...

I'm happy to put club loyalties aside for a few weeks. As long as I don't have to cheer on England, it's all good.

I'm dreading it. Our form has dropped of a cliff and a 0-3 dicking by Sweden didn't help things.
I think there's about 5 of the team born outside Wales, that I know of. Ashley Williams being most high profile, but I suppose we're not as bad as Jack Charlton's "if you've drunk Guiness, you're in" Irish squad at USA '94.
France 2nd of its group, losing to Portugal ?
Belgium/Croatia losing to Wales ?
You could get
lose
It's ugly, as most of Adidas shirts. The German home kit from last season (with the arrow) was great though. But otherwise Nike is far ahead. France/England's shirt are really standing out for example.
tbf, the purpose was to make Wales win lol
btw, France was 1st in group A and it's doesnt really matter between France and Portugal because Germany was going to beat any of them afterwards.
I understood that
When I simulated it myself France was 1st of group A and was against Poland for the next stage.
But no way Germany beats France, even in a close game. That would be a cool finale though, this or against Spain (but they have the strongest defense of the Euro, it'll be hard to crack them).

Even with 24 team tournament we couldn't make it lol (Finland). It has always been kinda mystery to me how we suck so much at football as we are pretty decent in pretty much any other team sport. One of the few European countries that have never made it to the World Cup or Euro Cup. I wonder if I am going to witness that miracle during my lifetime lol.
Got tickets in Lyon for Belgium Italy and Portugal Hungary. Lille for Russia Slovakia and Bordeaux for Spain Croatia. My flight leaves in 3 days I can't wait!
Lucky you, I made a request for a France game back in february and got rejected in the draw :/
Germany have lost 4 of their last 7 games (Ireland, France, England and Slovakia). Different side to the one in Brazil.
I'm finally hyped, still feels weird with the new mode that devalues the group stage so much :-/
Germany is gonna beat France in the finals, btw. (edit: misinterpreted the schedule, this will more likely be a semifinal match)
Belgium will score an upset victory over Spain in the quarter-finals. I also really hope Sweden and especially Iceland do well.

It's still a shame that Jari Litmanen never got to play a tournament. One of my all-time faves (he played at my club for a year).
You still have the best racing drivers.
That is actually brilliant.
Alcohol companies somehow always come up with the best advertising and it makes me interested to try it . . .
Here's hoping we don't meet Portugal in the R16. Couldn't take being knocked out by them again . . .

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I have a British friend who recently moved to the states for the foreseeable future. Gonna watch the England game with him on Saturday and I already kind of feel bad because I know how it is tradition for the England national team to disappoint at every opportunity.

Yeah. it's also shame that injuries plagued Jaris career as at his peak he was one of the top midfielders in whole Europe.
When you compare to our small population we have indeed had a lot of great racing drivers. =)
This made me laugh.
If he's British, he has 3 1/2 teams to support (Ireland being part of the British Isles).
If anyone is interested in Croatia, here is a good article that explains the current situation and extreme pessimism about the team. If someone fancies a good tip, you should consider Croatia finishing last in their Group

Ditto. Leaving tomorrow for France.
If we have any dreams of getting out of the group, 3 points against Slovakia is a must.
