You mean a certain player who don't like alcohol free beers?

Hahaha! I wish that certain player could be trusted defensively because he absolutely has all the passing qualities that we miss in that role. Fucking Fred is the bane of my footballing life!

Over/under 8 minutes of stoppage first half?

Turkey have been so, so bad. What was I thinking?? They were very good in qualifiers, but they've turned to shit.

Someone warn the International Space Station, there’s a ball heading in their direction

I was typing as they were looking at the foul, I feel like I've jinxed that one.

BALE FUCKED ME UP. That would've been huge (as my captain today)

Damnit lol wtf man. Luckily he got that assist earlier otherwise lord.

Wales have been excellent both in attack and defence.

Hopefully that replaces David Marshall as the comedy GIF for a while...

He put the penalty into orbit but Bale has been outstanding in this match!

ill take the 2 assists. Despite the 12 points i missed out on cuz of that shit penalty he got me 6 back at the death!

Jose's probably fuming watching him. Criminal the way he (didn't) used Bale

I'm shocked how good they have been so far with the caveat that the 2 teams played are the poorest I've seen.
Happy for Wales, Bale is a great watch!

Turkey are definitely the worst team in the tournament, have stunk it up so far. I thought the Swiss were the better side against Wales the other day but didn’t kill it, that’s why I’m just getting aboard today!

The Italians are probably playing with the greatest intensity of amy team I've seen. Can they keep it up for the whole tourney given the compact club seasons and no significant break?
I think strength in depth and squad rotation will be a big factor moving forward.

Which is why the French will remain the favourites regardless of how they play. The strength in depth in their squad is scary.

Italy are so good, clean, no mistakes, just a complete dominating performance so far.

France vs. Italy final. Portugal and England make the semis.

Keano’s massive beard has gone! He looks about 30 years younger
