So, Euro 2016 hadn't even began and some England fans have been arrested and it's happened again tonight. *sigh* pathetic. France, just lock em up. We don't want them either.

This is how long we have left before this thread temporarily spreads like wildfire:

That's also how long we have until the mosquitos "spread like wildfire."

Jesus... have you seen the violence in France right now? It's utterly ridiculous that this tribal nonsense still thrives in Football.

I see Portugal are doing their best diving today. Wonder if they share the same training: https://youtu.be/20XuPlde-Z0

Brexit.

What of it? The markets took a predictable hit, but they're already heading north again. Short term madness was expected, but in the long run, the UK will move forward fine. We'll still trade and be friends with Europe. The EU is pushing for a 'superstate' type of democracy. The Brits have decided they don't want to be part of that.

Also, England are out lol

[Tad]

Whoa. Wales beat Belgium! Didn't expect that haha. They're up against Portugal next Crackdude

[crackdude]

I'm betting a tie.

Well done Portugal.

I'm disappointed Wales lost, but very proud at what they've achieved. Who really thought Wales would be in the top 4 at the end of this tournament? Well done, Wales.

Wales did good to make it as far as they did. Though IMO, I think they were a little too defensive the entire game and didn't take advantage of chances when they came up effectively in this particular matchup. Otherwise I think they could have won.

Sorry to see Wales BALE out. kek

Please root for Portugal in the final, and I'll pay you a Super Bock when you come for vacation. Promise.

[Tad]

Not to be an ass, but I can't see Portugal winning. France and Germany are both very tough teams and I think France might just be getting into their stride now.

[crackdude]

General consensus here is that we don't even need to win. Our goal is just to piss off as many people as possible before the competition ends.


Besides, Portugal is going into the final with zero pressure.
Germany is world champion and France is host. Either one has big boots to fill.


It will probably be a shitty final where Portugal delays the game's momentum shifts as long as possible until someone scores late in the match, and by then it could be anyone's

[Tad]

Well, Portugal vs France it is. Germany really didn't look comfortable on the attack and I thought the pen was a little harsh.

Good luck Crackdude.

Germany dominated possession throughout the first half. Me thinks it was really that handball + goal combo at the end of the first half which really sunk them, because after that, they were never able to recover their cool.
