Wales pounding on the Russkies 2-zip. Great to see.

We interrupt the enthralling Euro 2016 for this BPL nugget:

Victor Wanyama is about to join Tottenham for £12m according to Sky.

I hope RK and LR have a suitable replacement in mind.

Wales and England both advance to the knockout stage with Wales winning the group.

Wales R16 matchup might end up being Croatia the pleasures of finishing top o the group

u feel likewise @Bloody Brian Burke ??? lol

England winning means Portugal could go thru even if they draw on Wednesday. So I gotta cheer for England and now I'm going to be ill.

Funny you say that, because now if Portugal win the group they gotta get past England.

Juventus' Alvaro Morata set for Real Madrid return this summer - Marotta

Well, that worked out well for Real. Besides that one time he pretty much knocked them out of the semi-finals of the Champions League.

They need two strikers badly though. Very good deal. If they win the Pogba sweepstakes too they might be bound for Barca circa 2008-2011 type of dominance.

Juventus is getting sacked right now though - if Bonucci leaves too this will be one depleted-ass squad (albeit one with about 250 million euros in transfer profit to spend).

UEFA is so backward. Fined the Portuguese Federation 5000 euros for the pitch invader who took a selfie with Ronaldo on Saturday.

The pitch invader was from Turkey.

He's doesn't even have the title of POTUS and he fires Lewandowski - I can't see Polish fans standing for that.

He's never going to get drunk if he keeps pouring the beer on his face like that...

I think Jakub Błaszczykowski is my favorite name in the tourney.

I saw shadows on the pitch in Toulouse the other day, shorely a big tourney like Euro 2016 should be played to avoid this type of thing, no?
