foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 The winner of the title comes from our side of the draw that is for sure, any of Spain, Italy, France and Germany wouldn't mind the potential final they could have
BoyJones Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 England's 2nd place is looking even worse now - on the traditional powerhouse side of the draw.[/quote)Would personally prefer to play against the stronger teams, we are reasonable defensively, but have speed on the break. So far we have played three relatively negative sides and struggled. If you enter a tournament looking for easier games, recipe for disaster. So far the quality in the tournament has been average at best, most games have been unexciting, so can see an unfancied team doing the business.
Devohn Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 England coming 2nd hasn't made any real difference. We would either play Belgium or France in the Quarters anyway. After that you are gonna get a good team no matter what. As for the round of 16 match, the difference between a 3rd place team and 2nd in group F is minimal imo.
Aus Fox Posted 21 June 2016 Author Posted 21 June 2016 If it's on goal difference can't Belgium potentially still top their group? Head to head first
StanSP Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 am I understanding right? Winner of Italy vs Spain plays winner of Germany vs (3rd place team) Meanwhile winner of France vs (team) could play England if we beat whoever we need to? Meaning England need to get through at least France, then one of Italy, Spain, Germany to get through to the final?!

If we finished first, we would have played someone like Albania or Northern Ireland. Then someone like Poland or Switzerland or Belgium.

I would be happy with a quarter final place at this current moment.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 Yes it has. If we finished first, we would have played someone like Albania or Northern Ireland. Then someone like Poland or Switzerland or Belgium. Not really, yes that is good if you want to go a couple of rounds longer... but to be honest to win it is still a huge task on either side.

Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 Belgium and Portugal have great chances now to make final. Hodgson is appalling. He really dropped a bollock here. Those saying it's better we play teams that come at us.... I can see the point of that but ultimately we'll make key decisions which will be wrong and we'll get outplayed. Gutting that a Croatia or Poland could easily get to semis
The Railway Man Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 Look at that left hand side of the draw, anyone could reach the final if they hit some form.
ousefox Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 I'm off to France's first playoff game. Who will I be watching?!
foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 I'm off to France's first playoff game. Who will I be watching?!The first last 16 game will be switzerland Poland, if that is what you mean... or do you mean who France are playing?France will play a third place team but have no idea who
Nalis Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 Am I the only one who doesn't find it that complicated?
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 The first last 16 game will be switzerland Poland, if that is what you mean... or do you mean who France are playing? Could be France vs NI Or Sweden or Turkey

GaelicFox Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 Surely NORTHERN IRELAND PLAY WALES ??? SAT 25th of June at 17.00hrs WAL v 3ACD Parc des Princes, Paris Northern Ireland are the BEST 3rd place team out of groups ACD so that's sorted then ?? It's bloody confusing this shite
MC Prussian Posted 21 June 2016 Posted 21 June 2016 Surely NORTHERN IRELAND PLAY WALES ??? SAT 25th of June at 17.00hrs WAL v 3ACD Parc des Princes, Paris Northern Ireland are the BEST 3rd place team out of groups ACD so that's sorted then ?? It's bloody confusing this shite Northern Ireland will either play against Wales or France in the next round. The seeding is dependent on the four best 3rd-placed teams and their corresponding first-stage group - this leads to a number of possible combinations: The Best of 16 seedings won't be known until tomorrow evening.

It's bloody confusing this shite think it isn't confirmed until Group E/F are decided as the 3rd place in those groups have a bearing on who France play.
