Group F looked boring beforehand and ended with the most exciting final group matches.

England, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain all in the same half...You got to feel a bit for Italy. The reward of winning the group is to face Spain in the round of 16 (and possibly Germany, then France if they make it that far, and that's not even the final yet )

Feck me! I finally caught the BBC highlights, and that Hungary/Portugal match was by far the craziest of the lot. After the massive borefests we have had in the tournament, they really picked a strange time to open the floodgates.

Spain/Croatia yesterday was a crazy confrontation as well. The Croats could be dangerous against any team now.

I look at Germany and I wonder if there's a lack of striking power up front. It's like they haven't found anyone to replace Klose as the one to bang in a few goals. Worse than that is Thomas Müller being goalless in his Euro career.

Who knows, in a year where Leicester wins the prems, Iceland might just go all the way. I'm sure there are a few bookies who are becoming slightly more nervous.

Shaqiri with the highlight goal of the EM so far.

Too bad as usual it was our only one during regular game time. Again.

So Messi can score brilliant free-kicks but he can't score a penalty. Bottler.

I couldn't watch the game while it was live, so I had to watch the highlights (and thank Clive Tyldesley for the effort on ITV as always). It's baffling how the England players totally switched off the way they did after Rooney scored. On Iceland's second goal... Joe Hart reminds everyone why he is so overrated. After that, the English attacks were so predictable and stereotyped; there was simply no creativity. How Roy Hodgson managed to remain for that long in the job is beyond me. People I talked with just couldn't understand some of his decisions (Starting with Sterling and Kane, asking strikers to take corners, etc.). Anyway, Hodgson's now gone and 2 years too late.

edit: I can't believe Marcus Rashford made more succesful dribbles in 5 minutes than anyone else on the England team after 3 or 4 matches.

For me as a football fan who is fond of natural rivalries, I was hoping for an epic encounter between France and England in the quarters. Now that it is gone, I can only wish France will take that opportunity to reach the semis. Iceland deserve full credit for getting as far as they did, but I hope it stops so we can truly enjoy watching la crème de la crème in the final stages.

Messi's international retirement... I take it as a major lack of balls that has no place to be if he is that good. OK, he may not be good on penalties, but that doesn't justify a decision to leave international duty at age 29 when he can still go on to win something before his body tells him to stop. I have seen players do a hell lot more with their national sides when those sides had a lot less firepower than what Argentina has. If Messi maintains his decision, then people will have every right to remember him as someone who didn't have the mental strength to cut it on the international stage AND who didn't deserve the Golden Ball in the 2014 World Cup.

Regarding Messi, I think he can't cope the pressure in his national team where he is expected to do miracle. When he missed that penalty, he looks like he is on the way to firing squad facing his death penalty. No pun intended...

Not trying to defend Messi, but somehow expectation is what make some people not performing on 100%. And of course, bad team mates too. I'm talking about you, England...

On a different front, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed for Manchester United today and joined Jose Mourinho in their mutual quest to kick Pep Guardiola's ass. Apparently, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also on track to confirm his move to Manchester United in the next few days if not the next few hours.

Apparently, there's a giant banner at Manchester's biggest shopping mall to welcome Zlatan. It's a way to troll Manchester City fans who put the "Welcome to Manchester" banner when Carlos Tevez signed for them a few years ago.

Spoiler for size:


In the category of not-so-good news, Arsenal Fan TV superfan Claude has gone missing and the London police are calling for help to find him. I hope he is OK. No matter who you cheer for, no one wants bad things to happen to anyone.

Wow... Wales defeating Belgium 3-1 in the quarterfinals. The way that talented Belgian team keeps screwing up is almost on par with England. Both teams have plenty of bottlers on board.

I must commend the finish from Robson-Kanu. Unreal. One Cruyff Turn and they were all sold. Three defenders gone to dust, and Courtois beaten by a world-class finish.

Well, clash of titans it is tomorrow then, Germany against Italy.
