So are we going to see a stitch-up in Group E? Apparently both Slovakia and Romania qualify with a draw.

After watching England in the group of dearth, I find my brain unable to concentrate on any other football in this hot weather....

I am so bored of dicks blasting the ball wide and over from 25 yards after a promising attacking move. The neighbours must think I have tourrettes as I shout 'Wanker!' again. My grandfather used to say if your mate did that in a kick about in the park, you wouldn't pass to him again - yet these are professional footballers who just spend their life practicing how to kick a ball.

Belgium really aren't very good, take De Bruyne out of this team and they're nothing. Wout Faes in particular is a total liability at the back.

Ukraine have had a couple of very good chances but Yaremchuk and Dovbyk look scared to get a shot away, always playing one pass too many. Going to be an interesting second half.

Group E unlikely scenarios which put Hungary straight through and us playing Netherlands:

Slovakia win, Ukraine win by 5+
Slovakia win by 5+, Belgium win
Romania win by 4+, Ukraine win
Romania win, Belgium win by 2+

A couple of other unlikelies but only if the team in 3rd gets a sh*tload of cards.

Any other results, we wait for Group F results later tonight.

Draw draw in group E as it currently stands would be great.

I like that Tintin kit more and more … at the same time I hate it because it has nothing to do with the colours that represent Belgium.
A rare sighting of brown in a football kit. Brown shorts might be appropriate for England too!

Ukraine are dogshit in attack. Belgies look great. And yet it is still 0-0.

What* was it Jimmy Greaves used to say? ???

(*No, not "vote Conservative". The other thing)

Belgium don’t look very good, but I think England would struggle to beat them lol

Right, part 1 done.

Now to play Slovakia, we need:
Any Georgia win, or
Portugal win or draw, and Czechia win by 1 or 2.

All other roads lead to the Netherlands.
