Never watched the Portugal V Croatia game either Perpetua . I find it difficult to watch anything that a certain Mr Ronaldo is involved in. Give me Gareth Bale any and every day striker42 ! From a referee's point of view, Ronaldo is the ultimate footballing nightmare.

I'd suspect he's a few peoples worst nightmare striker42 . . . . his persona appears to be the one of a mega diva. Myself, I simply can't be doing with diva's in any way shape or form - whatever they're connected to. Though I do feel obliged to say that car147 told a story concerning Ronaldo, apparently a young fan of his who needed life saving treatment, his/her family sent a request for one of his shirts to auction towards the cost. By all accounts if I've remembered the story correctly, not only did he send some memento's - but a cheque covering the cost of the whole treatment, a not insignificant sum. It could be argued he ( like many other footballers ) could easily afford this, but he didn't have to do it. So that did score a few points for me. But he's still a diva . . . . . . .

ROI 1 - France 0 . . . . . Great start for the boys in green with a penalty!

If England play the right team and attacking football I see no reason why they could not go all the way. We have the talent, but do we have the desire?

For the first time ever i have purposely not got my hopes up this year. Fed up with the build em up and knock em down tactics of the media. So im not expecting anything good this year. Will see if my change of thought process changes our luck!

So if England lose against Iceland will they be holding a referendum for a rematch ?

Well done France (2:1) (((( Dave )))) Though France were the better side . . . . so there's no shame in coming second to them. So if England lose against Iceland will they be holding a referendum for a rematch ? Don't think I could stand the pain twice over . . . . . of either @tmfkatubthumper. Germany looked pretty efficient I thought . . . . . .

Dear me . . . . quite, quite excruciatingly dire. Think I'll go and count can how many baked beans there are in a 410gram tin for something enjoyable to do.
