    If you were to compile a list of poor sides at this tournament we'd be near enough to the top. Thank goodness for Russia.

    Russia have been awful but have been somewhat entertaining in their awfulness, Turkey and Ukraine have been pretty awful to watch.

    Ramsey and Bale just change that Wales squad from being the poorest in the tournament to a dangerous dark horse.

    I'd have Joe Allen in an Irish shirt in a heartbeat. Not the strongest specimen I've everseen but definitely has an eye for a pass.

    Congrats to Wales. I think they can cause one or two surprises from here if the draw is kind to them.

    I thought England were ok. The team is clearly more comfortable playing on the counter which we've not been able to do so far. I think we're middle-of-the-pack in terms of quality in all honesty but if we can get through the second round then I actually think England match up well against France in the last eight. That would be a really good game.

    I had tickets for the second round game in Nice so that's now England so I'm happy enough.

    Yep, love the Russian anthem. Like the Italian too. Think the French is over rated, GSTQ is just a dirge. Ours is Ok, I suppose. Oh, the Germans is quality too.

    England ****ed up bad, they ****ed up real bad the other night. Just a complete lack of guile, but maybe they will suit playing against bigger teams when they don't have to push the game or make opportunities by through balls, rather can use their pace and athleticism.

    England were playing against 10 men behind the ball which is always very difficult to break down. They had to do this for the most part of all three games.

    We really don't know how good they are right now. In the knockout stages it's possible that teams might try and take them on and then we will know.

    I've a feeling they are going to beat the first team that tries to take them on pretty convincingly.

    Why wasn't Vlad the Bad Putin playing for Russia? Doesn't he play everything else? Every time I see him on tv he's holding a cup that has just been presented to him.

    But seriously, after the Wales game, if I were Vlad's dog I'd stay well out of his way for a week or so.
