Portugal are going to win this. They are like Greece in 2004, awful football but are getting a lot of luck.

:agree: i think the expanded tournament has been a mistake. Ridiculous that half the teams coming 2nd bottom in their group get through to the knockout. If you come 3rd in an easy group, one which you still weren't good enough to come in the top half you can still get through.

I don't think the midfield is as mediocre as is made out. De Rossi, Florenzi, Motta, Giaccherini have some above average qualities. Even Sturaro is excellent defensively, albeit not as good with the ball. I would agree that it certainly isn't great though. Maybe Conte likes that he is average...

I am the only one who seems nothing in Parolo, he just seems so mediocre. He made one good tackle but I really fail to see what he adds. I would much rather have Florenzi or even Sturaro :agree:

Two free-kick goals right at the 'keeper today.

Group F is an easy one, even Portugal (the top seeded team) have been poor for a while. I'm assuming Italy would play one of those teams IF they qualify? England will be pretty happy, for once I can actually see them doing well. Spain and France will also be quite happy.

Neuer dodgy again, 2-2

Awful goalkeeping from Neuer. Scotland should have had a penalty but scored from the free-kick instead.
