Pick for tomorrow's quarter final. Well not really a pick, just analyzing what might happen. I see the game as a real tossup whereas the others had clear favorites. Te game will hinge/turn on who scores first. If Italy scores first they will be tough to be beat. If England scores first Italy will open up more chances and England might counterstrike effectively! I am rooting for Italy simply because I follow serie A more than EPL and Italy is playing better than expected although England is also coming into itself. Who knows? Perhaps we'll see the game of the tourney! That's what I really hope for. Spain-France was a real snoozer.
I hope the game does not go to a PK shootout, but this one might just do that!

The post that was quoted here has been removedIt may have been celebrated in a play by Shakespeare, an act of bravery it was not,
had the French knights not been bottle necked in the treacherous conditions which
made their advancement on horseback difficult, ol Henry would have got a spanking,
it was as much an act of opportunism as anything else and if he cruelly put the
French prisoners of war to death then its a transgression of the chivalric code with
its insistence on fair play which made England so great and still to this day echoes
from the past to the present. Indeed, its these manners which are Englands
greatest legacy, stemming I believe from the realisation that women are worthy of
adoration and imitation because of such perceived virtues as patience and self
control, chastity and beauty and if I am not mistaken were heralded by the
troubadours of the time and is the very reason why we hold such social etiquette in
high regard to this day, at least in Scotland, where to fight on behalf of a ladies
honour is still a noble and virtuous thing! Why else does the Princess Royal attend
Murryfield stadium?

Menace, who in comic form was Scottish and yet somehow took on a Walter the Softie
accent when he became televised. No doubt Sean the sheep, if he could talk would
suffer the same humiliation. The only real English hero is Horrible Henry!

Back to the point!
you had, Montenegro the world twiddly winks champions, Switzerland the world cheese
making champions, Wales who are more used to playing with an egg shaped ball and
Bulgaria the worlds wine making champions, once again, probably the easiest group in
the history of the tournament, making you worthy to be mocked for your stupid
assertions of greatness, AGAIN! Indeed, lets get back to the point, why do you think
your so great when in reality your soooo crap?

ANyway, no one is accusing England of greatness (other than the Sun), rather just pointing out that they are slightly more adequate than the Scottish national team.
Yes we had a relatively easy group, but the only reason that we didn't come up against a top seed is that we are one of them, according to FIFA. 😕
Our group could have been marginally easier, if we had been drawn against Scotland, who don't even seem to have any of the talents of our last group, that you mentioned.

major team, with the exception of the French, to which they could only post a measly
draw in one of the most boring games of football in the history of solitary confinement,
are destined for greatness, flip sake, the English broadcasting corporation even showed
a goal against West Germany in the 1966 world cup final, again, for the trillionth time,
as proof of your greatness, its a small price to pay for such top notch opportunities to
mock your pretensions of grandeur! Any pub team in the country could have won your
group! with ease!

assassination, thats fine, but its a matter of national interest, that you are put out of
your misery and we can listen to the rest of the games without reference to England.
Originally posted by Sicilian SausageI sure hope so! Last time they gave the win to the team with less goals it somewhat upset them hooligans! I admit it is simplistic, but we await your sage analysis, Sicilian Sausage! BTW, explain your handle. Sweet or hot sausage? Io amo la Sicilia e pasta a la Norma e un piato bello!
My guess is that the team that scores the most goals will go through... Maybe.
