I think I might be something of a Jonah for any Euros game I watch 20:48 - Jun 24 with 1702 viewsDubtractor

All but one game I've watched has been turgid. Currently enduring Croatia vs Italy, which is like watching paint dry.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

...a "grandstand" finish in it.

One of those 3 goals in the last 10 minutes job.

I can feel it.

Trust me, I'm trustworthy.

There were some good games and cracking goals in the first round, but it’s gone a bit flat since.

I think teams believe that getting 3 points on the board is practically getting one and a half feet into the knockout stages. Then the intensity drops, players get rested etc.

The format isn't conducive to excitement really. A group stage that only eliminates 8 teams from 24.

I assume you’re watching the Italy match. I hope Croatia hold out. Italy deserve all they get for their boring approach and play acting.

Doesn’t look like Croatia will hold out though!

Is Own Goal leading the chase for the golden boot with Romelu Lukaku (Disallowed) a close second?

I am indeed. With the greatest respect to Albania, I couldn't see them doing anything.

Unimpressed by both these teams. Are we likely to get either of them in the next stage? I have absolutely zero idea who could play who.

I've a soft spot for Albania. A minnow in the competition, they have had a right go at bigger opposition in every game. The complete opposite of Scotland's approach.

Italy are bloody annoying. We’d struggle against them (again).

Not a bad second half though

That’s how I see it. In the recent matches watching the supporters going nuts has been more entertaining than the games.

Italy were pretty lacklustre and the amount of diving was of epic proportions. But they found a way.

Croatia did an England (not quite as bad) what we have we hold let’s defend after the goal. The odd thing was when they did get forward they looked to have the chance to kill the game. They got what they deserved in the end.

Scotland should be proud to be one of only 8 teams to manage to go out of the competition at that stage, when it’s possibly easier to stay in it?

Ha I am the complete opposite as I've only seen 10 mins of the tournament and that was England's first game.

When it comes to football these days i am all in for Ipswich, will watch every game and more. Any other football, I am pretty much out.

Weird how things change over time. There was a time I'd take a week off work to watch every game. Jaded about football I have become (said in my best yoda voice)
