sounds like Ciman in for Belgium

I think Clark's own goal was going to end up in the back of the net anyhow. Didn't see which Swedish player was there, but it looked like he would have gotten a boot on it for sure.

Are you serious, Clark?

Ireland and Sweden 1-1 FT - I know there are a lot of Zlatan fans out there, but I'd like to see the Irish make it to the knockout stage.

It's downpouring in Lyon, apparently. Should help to slow down the Belgian attack.

If I were a betting man, I'd say each finishes the group stage with only the point they gained today.

Should also help provide the Italians with a softer landing when they fall down, er I mean, they are fouled by those dirty Belgian players.

I could see the tie-break for those 3rd place round of 16 spots getting messy/complicated.

Gareth Wheeler just completely burying the Italian teams level of skill and attack on the radio *yawn*

It wouldn't shock me if a team with 1 pt goes through but I think third placers in A B D and F will likely all have a victory to their name and prevent that.

It's definitely not out of the question. I could definitely see it coming down to goal differential though.

Not even a downpour can stop the best hair in futbol.

From a live blog (mainly added for the word knackered):

Italy basically have a back five when not in possession, and a front four when they do, with the two full-backs forming part of both groups. They’re going to be knackered by the evening’s end.

What a ball in by Bonucci but Christ Toby wtf were you doing there?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Should be 2-0.

Should be 2-0.

I've seen Pelle do that more than once wearing a Southampton shirt.
