I drew the Poles (in my own sweepstake)

I always seem to be the one organising it at work - WC and Euros. I managed to win my own in 2010 with the last envelope.

I only had half an eye on it but expected much more from Scotland. Imagine Clarke will make a few changes to play us. Do they come for a draw and then go all out to beat Croatia though? I think they'd be mad to but expect them to go more defensive on Friday.

Dubious

Dubious

No, Spain won it.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Dubious

I just seemed to hit a rich vein of mind control in steering everybody away from that particular envelope.

Steady - that could be misinterpreted

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

This is actually a great game.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Good finish tbf

Who is it, they’re bloody awful.

 

[Frostie]

Who is it, they’re bloody awful.

Mark Pougatch, he's awful.
Emma Hayes is brilliant though.

is it a woman that’s co commenting? Can’t tell.

I think it’s Sam Matterface?!

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I don’t think they disliked breaking goalscoring records under Capello

At the World Cup Capello seemed to just completely lose it and became a control freak. The no ketchup rule being the height of neuroticism.

Our qualification record was fantastic, he deserve credit for that.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Mark Pougatch answers his own questions. Absolute amateur

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fair play to Slovakia. Poland show how dangerous it is to be a one man team when that one man can be closed out of the game.

 

[Tommo1993]

Strong looking Spanish lineup

 

[cc84cov]

Strong looking Spanish lineup

Hmmm not for me not compared to the level we are used to seeing from them

 

[COV]

Hmmm not for me not compared to the level we are used to seeing from them

I'm gonna lay it on the line and say Spain will not impress. Too much turmoil in the camp.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Some decent individuals but not sure there is much of a team there. They're still transitioning from the brilliant 08-12 team.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Surely only a matter of time for Spain

 

[Johnnythespider]

Surely only a matter of time for Spain

Not with finishing like that

 

[Tommo1993]

Have been learning a bit of Spanish recently. I say recently, not for about two years.

Salto en mi pené, con un poco gracias para mi

 

[Paul Anthony]

How is this still 0-0?

Well, obviously because nobody's scored....

 

[Liquid Gold]

Spain play with so much intensity. The Swedes haven't had any time on the ball at all.

If they had a goalscorer then they'd be out of sight.

 

[AOM]

Sweden are gonna be knackered chasing the ball for 45 minutes in 30 degrees heat

 

[Tommo1993]

I’m quite surprised their possession is as high as 16%

 

[Blind-Faith]

Swedes should be 1-0 up, that would of been daylight robbery

 

[Liquid Gold]

Spain are playing so wide, Sweden need to resist chasing them and just defend the width of the box, try and double up or at least outnumber Spain in the danger areas. Also just stick your fastest striker on the half way line and try and get him behind, even if he doesn't score you can push your defence up 15 yards and let Spain try and and pass through again.

So far your right average boring to watch

 

[COV]

So far your right average boring to watch

Sweden’s gameplan working perfectly

 

[AOM]

Isak looks really decent.

For all their possession, Spain look pretty shaky in defence

 

[Liquid Gold]

Now Sweden take their best player off

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Don't thickys realise that people who boo are booing at the fact the players are doing it that's all - they're not booing against what it stands for...what's it actually achieve? So pointless

It’s a few seconds. What’s the harm? Great way to support the team. Boo the players before kick off.

Same! Got France in another though.
