I can see it being another frustrating game for England however one key difference is that Iceland seem to have the ability to hit teams on the break which is a big risk for England if they commit too many numbers going forward. I am confident of a win but Iceland can look at our three games and have nothing to fear however if they become too overconfident we will definitely score.

The key to playing England is numbers behind the ball, maybe play for penalties!

You think Ronny would have continued his poor run of form ( ok two goals) against England - they would have had the psycho advantage - Iceland have to win if they want - we can deal with this as long as doesnt pick that Dildo Wiltshire - puts Walker and Rooney back in - simples - great night last night !

True and though people are saying we now have Spain, Italy, France and Germany on our side of the draw, we don't have to play all of them!

Spain play Italy, so only one through there and then whoever wins that has to play Germany if they get through.

That means if we make it past Iceland then we should only have France and then just one out of Germany/Spain/Italy to play to get to the final.

Tis a tough side of the draw, but on the other side there is Portugal and Belgium and those two now must be clear favourites to make it through to the final from their side of the draw.

I think Croatia have to be a strong bet from that side of the draw

Yep, if they can get past Portugal.

With Rinaldo, Portugal are going to be very dangerous.

Goal of the tournament. Awesome technique. Switzerland are looking very handy.

Possibly the worst game i've seen so far.
Have to be realistic and say 2 very very poor teams

I wasn't expecting much but that was grim.

Anyway, Croatia - Portugal looks like it will be a cracker this evening.

They may be League One sides but Wales don't have a particularly hard route to the final. Would you bet against Wales reaching a final before England?

I would say there is very little chance. If it goes to form it is Belgium in the next round and even Hungary are a surprise package. Croatia look a better side than France to me. Other than Germany every team is beatable.

Its a mistake to allow so many teams in as most are rubbish. Lets be honest the two Ireland sides are a joke at this level

Well that first half was a major let down. So many silly fouls and falling over all over the place. If ever a game needed an early goal that was it. Someone wake me up when it's time for penalties.

You do realise Wales played Belgium twice in qualifying, winning 1 and drawing 1?

Portugal remind me of Argentina in the 1990 world cup. Utter tripe who limped to the final and got thumped by Germany.
