9th!
During the eight team phase -
1980 - Group stage = 5/8
1988 - Group stage = 7/8
1992 - Group stage = 7/8
See, we have to support Portugal unless we want to be endorsing franchise football.
Bale was very dangerous in that first half, but is having a mare of a second 45 mins.
Wales look clueless.
They're a poor side. They were well and truly dominated by a very average England team. Tonight they've been worse, absolutely abysmal.

Well that was as bad as any shit game I witnessed in league one last season.
Two very poor teams. Don't fancy Portugal against the Germans or French. Without Ronaldo they would be awful

Very true. I wouldn't have fancied Wales v Germans or French either

It was only 4 teams at one time. In 1976 Wales reached the QFs but were knocked out over 2 legs. Only the semi-finalists went to the tournament which was held over a few days. It was the year Czechoslovakia beat West Germany on penalties with that Panenka penalty to decide it.
With Ronaldo they are awful. International football is dead. What an awful tournament.
The tournament is clearly in the hands of ze Germans or le French if they bother to turn up for the final.
I have enjoyed the tournament, its been different as a 'one off' but I am not a fan of the extended format. It has a qualifying feel to it, teams like Portugal who just didn't turn up shouldn't have got through the groups never mind get to the final! I would have less issue if that the top two only qualify to make this more competitive, this would stop teams sitting back like Wales and Slovakia did against us and make them come out and attack more.

yep bit over the top really, no doubt it was an amazing feat but that's usually reserved for the winners.
Euro 2020 should be a lot better, its being hosted in multiple cities across Europe with the semis and final at Wembley
It's embarrassing, whether it's England or Wales.

To get to the final Portugal have played Iceland (D) Austria (D) Hungary (D) in the group, then in the knockout Croatia (1 shot on target) Poland (penalties) and Wales to get to the final.
There is no way you should get to the final of an international tournament only playing that quality of opposition, they've only won one game in the 90 minutes. Shows everything wrong with the format

This year has had a bit of a 'league cup ' feel to it , like the big players don't really want to be there and the reserves are having the time of their lives
Wasn't there an open top bus, meet the PM and MBE's all round when England won the Ashes in 2005? Even the players were embarrassed (Except for piss head Flintoff who was just an embarrassment)

No it wasnt. The only embarassmemt was the drunken state of the players. You should celebrate success.

Have it your way Stu - Cricket was great - the parade and medals was cringeworthy. Only an opinion
You must be joking. It's a stupid idea. Some complained about the journey this summer...
Midlands to Marseille 880 miles.
Marseille to Lens - 609 miles.
Lens to St Etienne - 453 miles.
St Etienne to Nice - 304 miles
Nice to Midlands - 976 miles.
3222 miles in total.
In 4 years we could face the prospect of going from Baku to Bilbao. That is a 3467 mile journey alone. It's a 60 hour drive (we'd miss the game even if we left at full time in Baku) or 10 hours by plane.
