Okay, I fully expect to get absolutely slated for this, but I don't care. Tonights game against Sweden was for me the most exciting of the tournament so far.

End to end, thud and blunder, every time either team attacked you thought they might score, the lead changed three times and I absolutely loved it.

Spain bore me. Yeah, they might be purists and play pretty pretty football, but f*** it, for pure edge of the seat excitment, give me a repeat of tonights game anyday.

Fire away......

I think most us may be slightly biased, however, yes I tend to agree. The most goals in any game, and not all one sided will always lead to an entertaining game. And is always great to win after being down. *cough* Buckley *cough*!

I said to a friend right after full time that it was the most exciting game. Joint most goals in a game (Russia 4 - 1 Czech Rep), both teams coming from behind. Just needed a penalty and some controversy, but I'm sure I can survive without both of those.

you could also say weve played in the most boring game so far .....france v england

I thought Ukraine vs France earlier gave it a run for its money (I don't count thunderstorms as something that make a game exciting).

It was like a Premiership game. Not surprising considering the number of Prem players playing. Expected it to be much duller. Good to see we can do it going forward, would've been 5-2 if not for 2 world class saves. Concern was how easily our midfield tired and got overrun in 2nd half though.

Still good to see the miserable bastards being proved wrong.

It probably was the most exciting game, yes. But equally I loved watching Spain last night, they were breathtaking. I fear for England if/when we come up against them.

I agree with that. Amazing game! I know it will all end in tears but if we make it out of the group we've exceeded expectations in my view.

Last nights England game was fantastic entertainment indeed, loved it. But I was also mesmerised by Spain the night before and whilst watching, happily thought, my team try to play like that and it's bloody brilliant!!!! Given the excitement at the Amex last season I wouldn't change a thing.

The result was exciting, the football was however pretty mediocre.

This.

If you can't enjoy Spain's passing I despair. OK, it might not be your preferred style but to say it's boring is to ignore the footballing quality that is on show.

I am really enjoying the Euros so far.For all the knocking the host countries got before the tournament i think they are doing a good job.

After the first two games only two teams are actually out so far and it is good football
