some of the 'Euro Royalty' (France, Netherlands, Belgium, England) are seriously underperforming and being outfought and outmanoeuvred  by some of the unconsidered 'newer' nations .. time for the big boys to assert some authority and get cracking

Now though is when royalty can turn it up in these tournaments - Have Austria used too much energy just getting out of the Group in the first place?

Not fussed if we do get Holland, they've not looked good at all and are easily beatable.

Easily beatable?

England are back to tournament favourites after that France result by the way!

Bad choice of words. I don't mean the game itself would be easy, just that they're not to be feared. Their defending earlier was awful.

Is it too late to cheer for Scotland?

A lot of big countries on the other side of the draw if we win tonight. But unless we play better we'd lose against a team like Austria anyway.

Croatia aren't done yet - but they are relying on us beating Slovenia 3-0 or by four clear goals tomorrow (plus a few other silly results go their way).

Netherlands will beat us if we get them. They looked average today but I think any team that brings it to us score and we just don't look capable of getting 2 in a game

@Callumcafc - what needs to happen now for it not to be Holland?

Callumcafc

Regarding third placed teams, there is now only three possible combinations:

ACDE
ACDF
CDEF

In the two combinations where Hungary qualify from Group A, they would face Portugal, Slovenia would face the winner of Group E and England would face the Netherlands.

In the third combination (CDEF), Slovenia would face Portugal, England would face third Group E, winner of Group E would face Netherlands.

Hungary not to qualify. So Czech Republic to beat Turkey by no more than two goals OR Georgia to beat Portugal and at least one draw in Group E tomorrow.

Edit: technically the draw in Group E isn’t needed in every case but it makes it a lot simpler if there is one! Otherwise you’re comparing Hungary’s -3 GD with teams from Group E.

Don’t know if the Dutch can play with a low block, as has worked in this group, they will want to try and have a go, and that will help England

Here’s a graphic on the possibilities I found on Twitter. No clue what formula they’re using to get exact percentages though it gives a good guide to what’s likely.

Surprisingly perhaps yes. I think it’s purely because all four of the other five favourites are in the same side of the draw together now… if England somehow get to the final from here, they’d definitely be underdogs against any one of those four IMO.

so... are we saying that Scotland may have actually had the last laugh by conceding so late against them...? (or how they could spin it)

bleeding complicated ain't it.

Using the % in the screenshot above, 68% chance it is Netherlands, so will probably be them.... 5pm Sunday it is....

As poor as we have been with the players available to Southgate, no one has looked consistently decent but maybe Spain.
We’ve been given a bye to the final with only Holland being a slight problem (we’ll turn them over with a slight uptick )

so anything can happen in a final 
it’s not over , we have dross in our half

Yup. But Southgate has previous for f…g up a lucky draw!

BigRedEvil

Netherlands will be difficult but not impossible, but we really need to add some pace to our attacks, the slow build up kills us and is easy to defend against. Maybe that changes when teams give it a go against us and the game opens up but I'm not so sure.

May need some explaining to younger members.

3am kickoff, work at 8am….. thankfully it’s exam week, so there’s going to be some serious napping in the staff room tomorrow. 

It can’t be worse than Denmark, can it?

PS. It was.

Was so angry I couldn't get to sleep at all.
