Predict the last 16


Recommended Posts

With the Euros almost upon us I thought it would be a bit of fun to try and predict the 16 teams that will emerge from the groups. With only 8 teams being eliminated at this stage everyone should feel optimistic about getting out of the group. 4 points will get you through and occasionally 3 points are enough as if memory serves Portugal got through their group in 2016 with 3 points and ended up winning the whole tournament. Anyway have a go if you like and post your predictions, it might give us a bit of extra interest as the group matches are unfolding.

my attempt

Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Austria, Ukraine, England, Scotland, Croatia, Spain, Sweden, France, Portugal, Germany.

Shut-up VDA14 what the fuck do you know 🤣

Mrs has booked an AirBnB down south the weekend of the final and I'm beginning to get a really twitchy arse how their sides of the draw is opening up.  'Staying home, staying home - Thistle's staying home!'

I think I'd prefer to eat my own shyte than watch them in the final.

There is a YouTube german cover of 'Yes Sir I can Boogie' that will be ringing around my house tomorrow especially if it involves penalties.  Oh shit just Imagine though if Southgate puts Germany out on penos - fuck me it'll be horrendous!!

Only just read the bbc match reports

does this game have a chance of rivalling belgium v soviet union world cup 86 as “best game” ….

Aye, possibly although it's hard to just games from different eras. But I would say there isn't much in it. Neither of those are the best one ever IMHO, though.

Are you sitting comfortably?  

I've put a fiver on England to win as a jinx and been sending offside rule tutorials to Werner over Twitter for the best part of a week but aside from that it's cross your fingers/ clench the sphincter time!
