Euro 2016 - Group F - Hungary vs Portugal, Iceland vs Austria, 5 pm, RTE, TV3, BBC

Mr.Nice Guy

Group F

Country W D L GD Pts

HUN 1 1 0 2 4
ICE 0 2 0 0 2
POR 0 2 0 0 2
AUT 0 1 1 -2 1

This is one of the most exciting groups, with all the teams having a chance to progress.

Will Ronaldo finally find his goalscoring touch or might Portugal be heading for a shock exit? Can Hungary win the group?

Will Austria finally rediscover their form from their qualification campaign or can Iceland thwart them and find a way through?

What are your thoughts on the games? I'll go for a 2-1 Portugal win and a 1-0 win for Austria.

Well, Ronaldo's under pressure anyway...

Pushy, yes, but according to RTE:

He is asked, in Portuguese, the seemingly innocuous question, "Are you ready for the game today?"

but my Portuguese is a bit rusty

He was asking him had he seen Messi's goal.
Ronaldo had every right to chuck his mic in the river the way he shoved it over it colleague and into his face

PEOPLE NEED TO GET OVER THEMSELVES. I always say it, the world exists as it does because of an exchange between everyone involved. Ronaldo would not be what he is with all the wealth and acclaim without the media and the hype surrounding the sport, the individuals, the rivalries, its just a game of ****ing football without all the hype and media.

Ah apparently this is the to station he successfully sued. I thought it was funny anyway

Mr.Nice Guy

Dragovic returns after his red card.

Ol' Donie

Ah jesus, what am I gonna watch here??

Iceland or Ronaldo?

Surely he'll bang in a couple today?

Harry Palmr

I can two upsets here and equally no upsets. Impossible to call.

Liam Brady bullshítting his way through the Iceland team.

FFS, RTE are useless. Iceland have played twice already. Plenty of footage of them. Get someone who has analysed them to talk about them other than "well, we don't know much about them Darragh".

Pathetic.

Hungary at 8/1 is very tasty, the draw at 3/1 also. Portugal have shown nothing in this tournament that would make me fear them from the Hungarians perspective.

Harry Palmr

Ronaldo gone a calender year without scoring for Portugal - surely that's got to end purely on the basis of chance!

Did they scour the streets looking for the woman with the most annoyingly piercing voice to do the countdown?

The Backwards Man

Iceland hit the bar!

I think Portugal have played quite well. The only thing missing is their finishing. 49 attempts on goal for them but just one scored. Ronaldo alone has had 20 shots.

Hard to fathom that they will be so wasteful for a third game in a row.

Unlucky Iceland. That would have been some start and a screamer of a goal.

Sounds a bit like Yoko Ono

Lackey

I like Iceland for this great early shot

Don't know which game to watch...Meanwhile I'm not sure if the kids that don't watch football are even still alive and haven't seen my husband in days

GreNoLi

Lawrie Sanchez the exact opposite of Keith Andrews on commentary duties.

Ronaldo's had 22 shots. 10 were blocked. How many of the other shots were on target? Over 60% of his shots have been 25 yards plus. It's hard to finish from that distance.

Ronaldo like a sulky child - very funny to watch.

as the later rounds approach and the never ending playing-for-penalties, there'll be a couple of days between games. You can catch up then..

Agent Coulson

It looks like Nani has got The Ultimate Warriors Mask carved into his hair.

Vincent Vega

Impressive recovery tackle by Halldórsson there :eek:

R00ster

If Austria go out they will be haunted by Arnautovic not being able to get that in.

Rayne Wooney

Moutinho's delivery has been really poor this tournament

Johner

Iceland playing decent so far, Austria have been massive disappointments.

Mars Bar

Yay Iceland!

Harry Palmr

hahaha! Hungry.

Mr.Nice Guy

Gooooooooaaaaaaaaalllllllll

Gera for Hungary.

Lackey

There it is!!

Johner

Yes!!! 1-0 Iceland and it's deserved.

Kenjataimu

Iceland 1-0, Fair play to them!

The Backwards Man

He funky got his goal!

bobbyss

Shti commentary on TV3. Is it Sánchez? He's doing too much talking. A monotone. Boring. Shut up.

Harry Palmr

Iceland and Hungary both lead at the same moment - it's a sign!

Mr.Nice Guy

Those goals must have been scored at the same time.

R00ster

Goal for Iceland

Suryavarman

Great strike. Who on Earth is this boring fella commentating on TV3?

Mr.Prodston

Rory Delapsson!

Rayne Wooney

Hungary and Iceland running away with the group will be up there as the shock of the tournament surely

GreNoLi

Buh bye Portugal, some strike.

sligeach

Contain your excitement Lawrie. Great strike from Hungary.

I'm fine.

Agent Coulson

Haha seeing Ronnie sulk is so much fun.

Harry Palmr

Portugal are pants.

Im loving the smaller countries they play with heart and no fear of the big name clubs

Harry Palmr

Ireland will have to take some inspiration. Nearly 2-0 to Hungary
