So, the group phase is almost over, who would have guessed that my joke about the Welsh beating England almost became true? Surpassing them is even more suprising :)
Also I'm happy that Croatia won, now we get to see Spain vs Italy this weekend already! Overall, no top team has been living up to their expectations in my opinion, I wouldn't be too surprised to see some upsets in the Top 16 and Quarterfinals. My totally unbiased guess who's winning the cup would still be Germany, they'd need to start scoring very soon, though.

Rooting for Iceland today again :)

But most importantly, as one of the four best third placed teams, Will Grigg is still on fire for the Northern Irish!

The last sixteen draw:

 Switzerland v Poland
Croatia v Portugal

Wales v Northern Ireland
Hungary v Belgium

--------

Germany v Slovakia
Italy v Spain

France v Republic of Ireland
England v Iceland


I... have no idea what's going to happen there. I'd guess the winner will probably come from the bottom half of the draw, but it's anyone's guess who.

I'm guessing the Slovaks aren't impressed by their draw to the final.

I just want to see Portugal lose in the first knockout round.  I really don't like the whole expanding the tournament and having some third place teams advance.  When you don't make it in the top 2 for your group, you should be out.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

I can only think of disadvantages for this format. Too many teams who have advanced after round 2. Teams not knowing whether they have advanced at the end of their last match, which means that e.g. the Turkish fans couldn't give their team a proper farewell. The inefficiency to eliminate 8 teams in 36 matches and then eliminate another 15 teams in 15 matches.

England were straight trash.

Anyway, now that I've got a larger sample size, I'm going with the winner of Germany/italy to beat Belgium in the final. France doesn't quite look like its got itself figured out to get past Germany or Italy in a semi, while Portugal can count itself very, very lucky to still be around. Poland is in with a shout on that side of the bracket was well. As much as I'd enjoy Wales or Iceland doing more damage, I really can't see it happening.

It's unlikely, but you never know - Wales did play Belgium in the qualifiers, and the results were one draw and one Wales win, so they may be able to draw inspiration from that.

Yes!

I do think Wales have a great chance against Portugal.  I think Iceland will find it a little more difficult to get to the final

I'm pretty sad that Poland lost to Portugal, I enjoyed their play a lot more than Portugals. Also, Portugal did not win a single game after 90minutes yet... Wales better beat them or I'm sad.
