[Nalis]

Thoughts?

Germany 3-0 Northern Ireland

Poland 2-0 Ukraine

Croatia 1-1 Spain

Czech Republic 2-0 Turkey

Germany haven't impressed so far. They'll probably win, but wouldn't put it past Norn Iren to get a result. Certainly don't expect them to get thrashed - so they should qualify for the last 16.

 

Poland v Ukraine could get a bit tasty: local derby and the Poles are a big, strong side - Poland win with a few yellow/red cards, I reckon

 

Spain v Croatia might give us a better idea how good both of these sides really are.

 

Czechs to edge Turks and qualify for last 16?

[Beliall]

Schweinsteiger looks like the guard in Shawshank Redemption

Germany always seem to start a tournament off slow but some how find there way to a final. Take note England... but we never do!

[Chester Dontlie]

Would be fun if NIR nicked a point or more against Germany. I fancy Poland, Croatia and Czech Republic to win their games. Can't wait for PL - UKR game

You do realise you can just put the football on right?

[Finnegan]

German finishing is shocking.

Fair play keeper getting himself about but it's the ball being blasted at him more than him making great saves.

Sure and have two screaming kids. My wife is away this week or I'd be in the other room!

Haha! I like your thinking. Might just stick them upstairs in the spare room.

[Merging Cultures]

Stage one complete. I've given them calpol (they are not feeling well anyway). Lights dimmed and under blankets (southern hemisphere, so dark already).

I will get to watch the Football!

[purpleronnie]

Northern Irish fans have been brilliant, totally outsinging the germans.

On the pitch germany should be 3-0 awful finishing.

[Finnegan]

Jamie Ward needs to stop being a greedy twat and pass the ****ing ball.

[Merging Cultures]

[foxes21]

[StanSP]

Ahh, deadlock broken. Gomez scores.
