The UEFA Euro 2016 Super Thread!

[Marc]

I dont know if I am the only one who is seeing this. This years Euro has not been exicting as the way it used to be over the other years. I am however hoping that as we get to quarters, the tems will be competitive and we will be able to see the exicitement that we always have when it comes to football. I am always not a strong fan when it comes to football matters but major tournaments such as this I follow them always.

That's because the this year EURO is the first with 24 teams.
All previous European Championships had only 16 finalists.
So you're right, by the fourth round, we have again the old 16 teams.

But what I prefer: therefore the UEFA EURO lasts 4 weeks and not just 3 weeks as til now.

Scores tonight lads?

Wales will win against Russia, I'm almost sure.
England vs Slovakia? I tap on a draw

But that would mean, Wales would be group leader, which in turn would be a tough turf...

BREAKING FOOTBALL NEWS: LIONEL MESSI QUITS INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL !!

1 hour ago on the News ticker: Lionel Messi announced his retirement from international duty after missing in a penalty shootout as Argentina lost a fourth major final in nine years.

So he never won a big international title with the Argentinian National team. Diego Armando Maradona will remain Argentina's most successful footballer with the victory in the 1986 FIFA World Cup and the Vice FIFA World Championship in 1990.

To read more: Lionel Messi: Argentina forward retires from international football

Yeah I saw.. It's a shame. A player of that greatness deserved at least one International title on his resume.

Bring on tonight! Lets hope Studge starts!

I prefer Sturridge as a wonder-sub. I don't think he works hard enough to start for England. Watching him against Slovakia was frustrating.
