Ultimate Football/Soccer Thread 2015-2016 + Euro 2016 Finals

[Stellonia]

Okay, so can we actually expect that Euro 2016 will gives us a shocking winner, just like Euro 2004?

I feel like Germany is going to steamroll everyone else. I just hope Italy don't get in their way, because I want the Italian curse to be perpetuated and there's no way Italy is going to avoid a humiliating defeat against the Germans this year.

Also, predictions:

GROUP A: Albania, France, Romania, Switzerland
GROUP B: England, Russia, Slovakia, Wales
GROUP C: Germany, Northern Ireland, Poland, Ukraine
GROUP D: Croatia, Czech Republic, Spain, Turkey
GROUP E: Belgium, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Sweden
GROUP F: Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Portugal

So you predict that only 12 teams will advance from the group state. Interesting.

No, more like I have no clue about who comes third.
I'll give a try.

A: CH
B: Russia
C: NI
D: CZ
E: RoI
F: Austria

For the record, I predicted FRA 1-2 ROU on UEFA’s match predictor and Romania are just one goal away from vindicating me.

*watches himself get completely embarrassed*

[Risottia]

I go buy some ice cream and I miss two goals.
Typical.

Life is full of tough choices.

Getting both is a question of timing.

Good advice always comes late.

I can't believe those frogs just beat up a team composed of vampires.

Thanks for that really helpful input, there.

So the bad news is that I was wrong. (What’s new there?) Good news is that if I keep predicting ridiculous and unlikely results, the law of large numbers suggests I should be right about at least one eventually.

So in the vein of utterly ridiculous predictions, the USA will win Copa América and England will win the Euros.

No love for Iceland?

They can be the runners-up. Losing on penalties, of course.

[Seraven]

I predict Albania 1 - 0 Swiss.

[Riemstagrad]

GROUP A: Albania, France, Romania, Switzerland
GROUP B: England, Russia, Slovakia, Wales
GROUP C: Germany, Northern Ireland, Poland, Ukraine
GROUP D: Croatia, Czech Republic, Spain, Turkey
GROUP E: Belgium, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Sweden
GROUP F: Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Portugal

In bold the numbers 1 and 2, underlined the qualifying third.


In the fantasy-league i'm allready last with my team... I really need some transfers after this matchday. Why didn't i select Payet?!

[Sindrya]

I predict Albania 1 - 0 Swiss.

I think a 1-2 score for Albania - Swiss is more likely.

[Evil Lord Sauron]

Getting excited now.

But anyone watching via the BBC. Don't listen to a word that idiot Dean Saunders says. In fact, put it on mute whenever he is on screen.

Thanks.

You've always got S4C…

HA. As much as I loved Deano as a player, he does talk a lot of shite. I've noticed a few former Villa strikers seem to talk a lot of shite in fact... Saunders, Yorke, Gray... Collymore... makes me wonder if there's something in the water at Bodymoor Heath

It's 0 - 1 for Swiss.

[Seraven]

Wales currently 1 - 0 Slovakia.

[Minoa]

Wales 2-1 Slovakia at full time.

[Auremena]

Meat pie, chips, feel so English watching this match
Also why the hell is Kane taking corners?

[Auremena]

Wat.
Eric Dier scoring taking a free kick...
Since when does he take those?

[Risottia]

Seriously tho, wonderful free kick.

[Uitbregen]

It's as if England couldn't resist being inept at some point in the game. Usuaully they're inept for around 80 minutes, but tonight they had just 1 super-inept minute.

God I hate supporting this country.

[Princedom]

So glad Russia leveled.

[Dumb Ideologies]

ITV coverage of the England game was dreadful. Never have I known grown men to get so close to orgasm over aimless side to side passing and minimal cutting edge.
