Ranieiri deserves a lot of good luck after the way he was shabbily treated at Chelsea last year.

My 100% failure record stays intact.
SPAIN 1 - GREECE 1
Both teams now have a win and a draw. Not sure which one I'd like to face England now. Greece are proving to be a difficult team to beat.
Portugal HAVE to win their match against Russia to be in with a chance of staying in the compo that they are hosting.

Scholes is fit so I suppose that ends one debate.

I would make an observation about Scottish fans in Euro 2004, but oh, where are they? All sat at home eating haggis...so shut it.

Well the online webcasts are not working out too well for me..spent literally hours trying to stop it from buffering/timing out disconnecting, there must be about 5 million people clogging those servers. You get nowt for nowt I suppose. Tried every pub to see if they would show any of the games and even ventured into the dark foreboding International Students Union yesterday to see if someone could help me out. Bit of a joke this.

Still disagree with Scholes being selected, but I hope Sven gives a couple on the bench a run out and run at the Swiss.
The midfield (in my mind) didn't really perform as well as they could.
The strikers as well. Both Owen and Rooney need to put one in the back of the net and that'll whet their appetite for more.
I'm sounding more like a BBC pundit every day.
A bit of a worry with Rooney actually. A couple of commentators on the Beeb have used the phrase "the new Gazza" which I don't know is a good thing or a bad thing.
- Portugal one-up after 10 minutes. Itching to give those Russkie's an ass wuppin'

England will win fairly comfortably against the swiss...mind you with James in goal
Any of those teams would be a headache for them in the quarters though, Portugal looking as if they hit form too.

blair is whinging about English fans causing trouble in Portugal...Given he has backed an invasion using lies and coercion he is taking the piss somewhat.

I'll keep my Gazza goal and my statement, Im getting a little fed up with all the English football team/fan bashing going on on this forum from the Welsh and the Scots. So i will come out with statements like that...
Its not often I get worked up about stuff, I see you have come out with the 'odd' rash statement every now and then.
Dont have double standards.
