Euro 2016

**BonnieShels** · 16/06/2016, 2:31 PM

Offside much?

**pineapple stu** · 16/06/2016, 2:32 PM

The England goal?

Not offside - Welsh defender got the assist.

**BonnieShels** · 16/06/2016, 2:35 PM

I'm watching it on my phone in the office with the sound down. So I can only get glances.

Did it get a touch before landing at Vardy's feet? Because initially seeing it he was miles off.

**pineapple stu** · 16/06/2016, 2:46 PM

Vardy was well offside - but doesn't count if it was the Welsh player who headed it back, which he did.

No offside.

Arse.

So we've had 12 games - 4 1-0s, 4 1-1s, 4 2-1s and 4 2-0s.

Best third-placed team is going to be bloody tight.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 16/06/2016, 2:54 PM

Wales still well placed to go through despite that.

Missed opportunity for us..

No offside.

I didn't see that at all. I'll watch it when I get home for UKR-IFA.

Could be drawing lots at this rate.

**pineapple stu** · 16/06/2016, 3:06 PM

Can't go to drawing of lots - tiebreakers are here. Worth keeping half an eye on alright!

Alan Shearer: It's no fluke the ball fell to Jamie Vardy for his goal. He has that striker's instinct.

I'd say getting the ball when a defender mistimes the header and sends it the other way than they intended is pretty fluky myself.

Overall they deserved the win though. If you decide to see out the game for a point like Wales did, then you can't complain if you don't manage to do that.

Excellent article on the England fan violence and complicity in provoking local and Russian fans.

It was like a Championship end of season game. Lots of frantic huff and puff. Very enjoyable but I'd have loved for England to have come unstuck. Head says they can't win this but heart only agrees an hour after they have actually been knocked out.

**DannyInvincible** · 16/06/2016, 3:16 PM

Think that's the first game where a team has come back from 1-0 down to win.

I'll read that later but there could be lots of teams on 3 and 4 points in third place.

**pineapple stu** · 16/06/2016, 3:56 PM

The North drop half their team, including Lafferty.

Interesting call.

**pineapple stu** · 16/06/2016, 5:04 PM

Go on the Nordies!

Just a shame there's no-one at it.

**pineapple stu** · 16/06/2016, 5:12 PM

More goals in this with this weather.

How the hell is there hail in the south of France in the middle of summer?!

Edit - play suspended?! Bit much.

**Stuttgart88** · 16/06/2016, 5:20 PM

NI playing really well. Ukraine pretty ordinary at best, or made to look it.

**pineapple stu** · 16/06/2016, 5:32 PM

Worth noting if it stays like this, 2 points is already not enough to qualify as best third-placed team. So if we only draw with Belgium, we need another result against Italy. We need a win somewhere.

Edit - sorry, that's nonsense. Two third-place teams will be guaranteed three points, but would need four to completely rule out 2 points qualifying. Still, looking unlikely, though it has happened in the past.
