UEFA Euro 2016

[Gibbs]

I feel ashamed of myself as I used to be a big football fan, however I've not been following UEFA outside of this thread.

How are England performing?

They have only played one game. And they are doing pretty bad, they drawed 1-1 against Russia.

I disagree. I think England and Germany have this far shown the strongest play. England might've tied the game but they played really beautifully for some good 30+ minutes. I can't really say that it's that England and Germany have played on their top level so far (obviously they haven't), but compared to that other teams they've already shown much better game.  If the teams were to continue playing the way they have been playing so far, I think the top teams would end up being England, Germany, maybe France... Maybe Russia even? And I guess we'll see tonight how well Portugal is doing.

I only saw parts of the match but from the bits I saw, yeah Spain played alright.

imo Spain showed great weakness. I won't be expecting much from them this year. Hopefully they prove me wrong
