"He's done his bit" says Sam Matterface. No, doing his bit would have involved putting the team on his back during the match and converting one of his chances.

Ugh I hate Portugal. Since when did Quaresma become a gangster and have tattoos all over his face. He did the square root of f all at Chelsea. Oh well can still see Ronaldo cry in the semis

Penalty shoot out sums him up nicely. Whole team lined up arm in arm apart from Ronaldo doing his own thing. Don't worry Ronnie the cameraman noticed your little pantomime.

Sutekh An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman go into a pub for a drink. The Welshman was still in France.


I'm gonna use that. There's at least another 24 hours in that joke.


About 14 hours now. Wales will get tonked tonight. They beat Slovakia thanks to a goalkeeping error and a mis-hit after being second best all game. Lost to a poor England team who still dominated possession, scored thanks to another goalkeeping error. Beat a Russia team who had literally given up.

Then got mostly outplayed by Northern Ireland and had to rely on an own goal to avoid extra time.

Portugal through to the Semis after not winning a game. New format is a joke.

TBF I'm sure this has happened (ish) before, with teams getting to the semis with very poor records.

I mean, in 1990, you had England winning 1 group game against Egypt and, by your standards, that was it.

Oh. Obvious point is then obvious. Sorry.

I thought Poland looked very good in attack, if nowhere else. Srsly. Nice, one-touch football. Was supporting them.

Up for Belgium tonight, then Italy and Iceland.

I put Iceland to finish third in our office predictions (before the tournament). And Italy to win. Could happen. I had France to come second. Italy v France is now impossible as a final.

Good luck to Guntz, Hal, Si and the rest of the leek-heads tonight.

Win this, and there is a real chance of making the final as Portugal are so unconvincing.

Anyone else placing a cheeky bet on the Welsh game tonight? Bet 365 are offering a free £50 in play. Going for Hazard to score and Belgium to win :)

Yeah I have. Only 4/1 so not big returns.

Also got Bale to score 1st and Wales 2-1 at 66/1.

Wales and Iceland to win double aswell.
