The England game in the next round is on the Beeb, so we stand slightly more of a chance of victory.
Interesting how this all shaping up, given the talk of throwing the final group game for a supposedly easier draw. It’s looking quite possible that 5 out of the top 6 ranked sides in Europe are all going to be in one half of the draw, the one that isn’t being England. It’s also possible that Denmark will be the highest ranked side in our half of the draw.
The one thing that would ruin all that is the ‘wrong’ result for France against Portugal, meaning they could finish second and face England. Trouble is, do they now look at the top half of the draw and do everything in their power to keep themselves out of it?
Permutation-wise, I think this will dictate who England face:
France win / Germany win: Germany
France win / Germany draw: Germany
France win / Hungary win: Hungary
France draw / Germany win: France
France draw / Germany draw: Germany
France draw / Hungary win: Hungary
France lose / Germany win: Germany
France lose / Germany draw: France
France lose / Hungary win: France or Hungary (depending on GD)
If I’ve worked it out correctly, we cannot face Portugal. Germany seems the most likely, both in terms of how many times they’re thrown up by the permutations and the likelihood of the results. In the event that Hungary win, it’s highly likely they’d finish second - that’s obviously the ticket everyone wants but their odds are 28/1 so seems unlikely.
In the big scheme of things, Germany wouldn’t be a bad draw. 13th in the world compared to France (2nd) and Portugal (5th). I think that’s quite likely, and I wouldn’t be too unhappy with it on reflection - particularly with another quarter final against Sweden (or Czech Republic) as the prize.
We just need those cheese eating surrender monkeys not to pull a fast one!

Looking good right now!
Oh - hang on, the table on TV shows Portugal as second place at the moment....
Great goal by Hungary - what a ball into the box.

Cracking goal by the Hungarians
I want them to go through purely because of the amazing atmosphere at the two games they’ve played to date

As it stands, England will play Portugal.

Not overly bothered who finishes where .... Southgate has been planning for this moment for years and I for one have total confidence in his managerial ability (as long as he wears his magic waist coat) and our wonderfully talented team to rise to the occasion [emoji6]

You’re right, sorry. Portugal stay above on head-to-head.
We need the Hungarians to hold on and France to win.
How did Germany not score there?!

Anyone who saw that incredible interaction between Lewandowski and the crossbar should feel better about Neal Maupay and Aaron Connolly. When the second header came off the woodwork, you'd have thought he just had to stand there and let the ball rebound off him into goal but he somehow managed to let it go between his knees. And that's arguably the best striker in Europe.
No, Danilo is faking.
Edit, maybe not.
Edit, should of saved that.
As it stands we are playing br'er frog.

How can the French players argue about that pen? Lloris punched him clean in the head

Hungarian fans stay put….Germans scatter with a few drops of rain 
Germany should have known better than to elect to play in black shirts
