UEFA Euro 2016

Why does N. Ireland sing the british anthem but Wales just hours ago did not? Taht's strange... ?-)

The Northern Irish just haven't adopted a different anthem for sports.

He was Roman, not Syrian.

He was a part of the Roman Army, but he wasn't Roman. The Roman Empire was big; he was actually from the Levant area, somewhere around Southern Turkey, Syria, Lebanon.

If you have a qualifying system and practically everybody qualifies there's no point in having one. With the obvious exception of The Netherlands if you look at the teams that didn't qualify it's nearly impossible to find a team that might improve the tournament. Adding Cyprus, Slovenia and Estonia isn't going to make the tournament better.

Sure, you need to draw a line somewhere but say you replace Iceland with Netherlands, how many more teams 'shouldn't be there'?

[Valeron]

Most of them shouldn't be there. There are a lot of awful to mediocre teams in this tournament

So Wales has one just for sports? That's even stranger ^^

Yes, when you're looking like you're about to be knocked out of a tournament and you come back in injury time that's lucky.

Did you really edit in [racial slur] when Frank called Bale a monkey twat? You do know its because he looks like a monkey and has nothing to do with race ><

Anyway, a thoroughly deserved win, not a single bit of luck about it.

Well, except having the almighty on our side who 'allowed' Sturridge to score, he was taking time out from giving kids cancer for the football clearly.

Nothing brings out the Anglophobes like a well earned England win.

Still think Wales will go through in second though.

If they win and England lose wouldn't they go through as first?

[draykorinee]

If they win and England lose wouldn't they go through as first?

Is it decided on goal difference? Because if England lost it would be WAles 6 Slovakia 6

[Northern Goblin]

If they win and England lose wouldn't they go through as first?

Correct. But I think England will beat Slovakia.

[Valeron]

If they win and England lose wouldn't they go through as first?

It would depend on the scores of those games. first tiebreak is goal difference I believe

So, If England win the group they play a third placed team from either group A, likely Romania or Albania, Group D, likely Turkey or the Czech Republic, or Group C. The third placed finisher in group C is likely to be determined in the next game today, between Ukraine and Northern Ireland.

whatever the outcome we will end up playing germany we always do be in the quaters or semi's i doubt we wil get to the final

He was born post-Caracalla and I can not find anything to say he was not born a free man, so therefore he was most likely Roman.

Plus his name is Greek, so chances are in that era he was a Roman.

if wales win and we lose against slovakia we are out

Head to head record.

[Valeron]

if wales win and we lose against slovakia we are out

4 points should be enough for one of the 4 best 3rd place teams

4 points should be enough for one of the 4 best 3rd place teams

doesnt mattr only the 1st and 2nd teams in the table go through, if wales win they will have 6 points if we lose to slovakia there on 6 points aswell while we will be 3rd on 4 points and we will be out

[DrMcNinja]

Would like to see Hart out for Forster.

You could replace Hart with a cardboard cutout and improve the team.

He was Roman, not Syrian.

Technically speaking he was a Greek who was born in a part of Syria that belonged to Rome but today belongs to Israel, though none of it is really relevant to the joke :P
