Euros 2016

Not quite, England are pretty shit at football. It's more like Samoa losing to Namibia. 
 
She's a funny old game tournament soccer. Because of the scoring, results like this come up reasonably often. It's not that long since Greece won the Euro tournament. Not sure they had ever even won a finals game before that?
 
Iceland now get France. They are again, a realistic chance. They are organised and disciplined, and France are very French, hardly a united squad, playing erratic football. France should win by a couple, but...

The players from the 1950 team that lost to USA at the WC will be happiest. Erased from the record books.
 
Gary Lineker's tweet:
The worst defeat in our history. England beaten by a country with more volcanoes than professional footballers. Well played Iceland.

It is a huge upset based on Iceland's history up until the past few years - they have been getting great results more recently which is how they ended up making the last 16 of the Euros. And given England's recent tournament history, it would have been a much bigger shock had Iceland knocked out Germany or Spain.

Iceland are a great, feel good story. 
 
 
Who the fuck is going to win this thing? I still think Germany, but the Italians were pretty bloody good. </blockquote>Not that the others were any better but they showed about as much invention as my Spurs did on their bad days last season. Fancy losing to a glorified pub team

Denmark winning 92 is good story. They were a late replacement because Yugoslavia erupted into civil war.

I saw that Shteve one earlier, it's fucking gold. You couldn't script it better, or improve it with Bill Murray's timing or facial expression

Mike, you don't think you're taking a little bit too much comfort from all this do you?
