[Football] England's R16 Opponents - Confirmed as Slovakia

[Perry Milkins]

When teams like Scotland are stinking out the place, you might as well add another eight teams to the tournament

Any others?

 

[Midget]

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.

 

[Midget]

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.

So if Czechs don't win by 1 or 2 goals we play the Dutch regardless of other scoreline?

Not if Georgia win. Then we're golden either way.

Come on Georgia!

(Otherwise, yes.)

 

[Eeyore]

So basically we need either Czech or Georgia to win if we are to avoid the oranges.

I'm guessing the next round won't need so much mathematics.

No you’re right it won’t Here our side of draw

Yes - but - Czechia not to win by 3 or more.

Next round is a piece of piss, I'm quite looking forward to enjoying the football without twisting my brain in knots...

Oh yeah. I give up.

It's Netherlands or Slovakia in the next round and we find out after sunset. I'll settle on that.

Doh! I was hoping to avoid any team ending in “ia”.

Would you rather one ending in "-lands"?

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Southgate’s pulling his superpower out of the bag again by blagging an easy draw.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Well, we might play better against so called better teams.

 

[BN41Albion]

Austria look one of the best sides on what I’ve seen

Hope we avoid them . They are a problem

I mean we've got to get past Slovakia which obviously isn't a given and will almost certainly be another turgid game, and then Italy or Swiss which we will 100% struggle in - Swiss have looked good and Italy would make it very difficult. No need to be worrying about Austria just yet

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Well, we might play better against so called better teams.

I'd prefer not to find out.

 

[Han Solo]

Good draw for England. Slovakia are easily one of the worst teams left in the tournament. Should be a 50/50 chance for Gareth and his men.

I love your optimism...

50/50 because we're also one of the worst teams left in the tournament?

 

[BN41Albion]

50/50 because we're also one of the worst teams left in the tournament?

I think that's what he was cheekily suggesting - and rightly so on current form
