The rolling Football Thread (including EURO 2016!).

[BelfastBloke]

In the spirit of previous rolling Football threads, would posters sign in with:

1. What country/countries you support
2. What country teams you particularly dislike (Euro or world)?
3. What things your family are doing to get your kids excited about the Euro 2016 tournament?
4. A comment about a player or two, or an issue or two.

Me too, would have been brilliant A very disappointed Seamus now on itv but he was a proud captain.

Ach they were beaten by quality, weren't they? Fabulous effort and some v tired limbs out there. Well done ROI.

I see Joachim Low has been sniffing himself again !!

I'm sorry for my Wales comment. Please ignore.

No need for that Derxa Let's not get on to politics please. I'm Welsh and deplore the Brexit result. Let's stick to football on here Yes I'm sorry. I hope Wales do well.

Oh gawd. I must've missed that part or my mind has already blocked it out What's he been sniffing now?

No problem Derxa. I'll be cheering on England tomorrow night. Looking forward to it.

Ken - why are you envious that JL has been sniffing himself again?? The public needs to know!

Ha ha it's meant to be nauseous !

Not fancying Wales chances against Belgium.

Belgium was ranked best team in Europe as of last month.
They should not be dismissed at all.
I hope Italy-Spain is an interesting game.

BTW, Messi has helped Chile win the Copa America by completely missing the goal on a penalty shoot out. This Summer is not going particularly well for neither of the top World players.
And he's leaving the Argentina squad.

Who's watching Spain -Italy?

It's happened again,
It's happened again,
Oh Argentina,
It's happened again.

We're watching Spain vs Italy. 3yo DD predicts an Italy win. She hasn't been wrong so far this tournament. So much so that I even considered putting a bet on Portugal the other night as she said they'd win.
Then again, she has also predicted an Iceland win so I hope she's wrong today!

I'm supporting Italy. Might not have if Arsenal's Bellerin had been selected for Spain.

Also, having Dirty Biscuits in midfield for Spain puts me off them.

On a train. Is Dirty Biscuits MrsF's dd's name for Busquets at all??

Ha! Don't know about the dirty but I've just asked her to pronounce it and she does indeed say biscuits. I think the dirty came from Belfast's dislike of the player. Just a hunch

Yeah, he's a right cheating git, and has been every time Barca beat Arsenal.

Dirty Biscuits
Fuerza España, looking a bit better second half

Filthy Pique

I'm pleased to say DD has revised her prediction for this evenings match and is now saying it will be an England win nothing to do with my persuasion, honestly

Well done Italy.
I'm never displeased when Spain loses.😆

I don't think Iceland have it in them.

Well done Italy, but they did make it difficult for themselves with their sloppy play at times.

Now come on England!

I think Sterling playing is an old red herring.

That joke works on multi-levels.

I'll get me coat.
