Any of Pogba, Payet, Griezmann and Kante would be the best player in our squad. Lloris >HartAlthough England will make a big deal of playing France and probably lose they shouldn't as they are just another average team the only player they have that would worry me is Greizzman.
With the major difference where we would face a decent side rather than Scunthorpe, Patrick thistle and Derry. The new format gave us an easy passage which we made very hard work ofHave to disagree with that.
Other tournaments we have been poor and almost hanging on and not played well at all.
This time out that has been 3 games where we have totally dominated. Big difference for me.
England have looked dominant, but they lack a cutting edge up front for the most part. Far too many shots too close to the keeper and not creating enough chances.
This is where the tournament will really change. Knock out. Teams aren't just going to park the bus anymore on the whole and that may well help us.
I think it is nice to be in a tournament for once where we have totally dominated for all 3 group games.
Wonderful support but their nine lives ran out very quickly. Could have been 5 if it wasn't for a superb goalkeeping performanceScrew the Welsh and English...sat at home, NI shirt on, Red Hand Ulster draped over my shoulders....damage limitation today and we can still go through...

Agreed Stu. McGovern had the game of his life...and he's unattached...hint hint TM. Still, I'm happy that we kept it to just one. I was expecting 3 or 4. Just need the Czechs not to win tonight and we're through. I think...

How did we make hard work of it. It was attack v defence in every game. A little more luck and we'd have had 3 wins.With the major difference where we would face a decent side rather than Scunthorpe, Patrick thistle and Derry. The new format gave us an easy passage which we made very hard work of

On 21 June 2016, McGovern single-handedly denied Germany 8 goals at the Euro 2016 finals in France. For these and other feats, he is widely recognised as the greatest goalkeeper to ever play the game, and a likely contender for the UEFA Euro 2016 Gold Glove Award.
We were the only team not to beat a very poor Russia side, we created very little clear cut chances against Slovakia. You talk of luck, luck was a whisker away from conceeding last night when smalling chested the ball to no one! Everyone talks about possession but all three teams have sat back and not wanted possession so this is hardly a shock that we had the lionshare of the games but we just couldn't break any of these teams down properlyHow did we make hard work of it.

The whole Croatia team looked really good, and they made 5 changes. They're contenders for sure.Really like Perisic, would like to see him in the premier league
got him each way for golden boot at 100/1 and had him anytime scorer tonight at 9/2.Really like Perisic, would like to see him in the premier league
Think we could do France. Reckon we'd lose to the Germans though.if we win the next game it will be france then germany.
Yep, agree with this. I don't think you can look at how other teams did against Russia and compare to how we did, because they played a completely different way against each other than they did against us.Russia had 10 men behind the ball v us, against Wales and Slovakia they were wide open.
I agree we should have enough to open up these stubborn defences, but I think when we play more expansive teams we'll get more joy. Mainly because of the immense pace we have in the squad. Having said that we will more than likely play Hungary next. Attack v defence again.

Against Wales Russia HAD to win to have any chance of progressing at all, so had to play a more open game and couldn't just sit back and defend. This exposed their defence.
Every team against us has parked the bus and closed shop. When these 3 teams have played each other they have played a completely different and more expansive game, obviously believing they could beat each other.
We had 29 shots against Slovakia. That's more shots in one game in the European finals than any other team in 36 years.
If they parked the bus they must have left it in another stadium,
We managed 15 against Russia as well.
Austria, Iceland, Hungary or Portugal is who we will be playing next.My point is, had we won the group we would have had an easier passage to the next round
Yep, hopefully they will see sense for future tournaments.The more games played the more you can see how 24 teams is a stupid idea. Far too many teams have played defensively just to get points so the quality of games hasn't been great. We've suffered from this but so have other higher reputation teams. 2 from the group definitely makes more sense
Austria, Iceland, Hungary or Portugal is who we will be playing next.
Portugal is the only team there that I wouldn't want to play, but even so from what I have seen they aren't world beaters.
