if they play like they played against Portugal they won't win today.

It certainly is. I don't know who to root for; we don't really want to end up playing either of them! (Should we even get to the final of course!)

I am going to put you in the "ignored" list for tonight :DDD (I am Italian)

@PortugalTheMan It seems you have the crystal ball:) It's now 1-2 and they really struggle to play decently against a very strong Italy, just like in the previous game against Portugal. It seems they've lost their mojo. Let's hope De Bruyne finds his magic in the remaining 30 minutes

@Tanni I wouldn't worry about that. England played quite solidly against Germany. I didn't expect your team to be that good to be honest, but Gareth Southgate really made a good effort to make the team a strong cohesive bunch. And that alone bodes well for the remainder of the tournament

@buttercake Probably a good choice:)

@Christiaan Neither did we! I thought Germany would knock us out for sure. We have a very annoying habit of going out to teams that we really should beat (Iceland, anyone?) so you can never assume anything with us unfortunately :P

I still remember that game against Iceland @Tanni . What a game that was:) England basically dominated from start to end but Wayne Rooney really had trouble finding the net. But things might look differently this time for you and England. The semi-finals + final will be held at Wembley and with Raheem Sterling on fire, who BTW basically grew up near the stadium, the team will surely be ready to crush Ukraine

And Russia sucked at soccer as usual. I don't even want to speak about Estonia :P So yeah, go Red Devils!! )))

@Vassili Belgium has sadly lost big time against Italy. It was probably the last chance for them to win a big tournament, as the current ''golden'' generation consists of quite some players who have reached a ripe old age, like Vermaelen, Witsel & Maertens.

@Vassili Weirdly enough, I actually first heard of Estonia when the Netherlands played a match for the 2002 qualifiers against your country in 2001:) I remember that there was one guy who really stood out: Mart Poom.

He was also one of the few players who played professionally, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, Russia is ok-ish. Physically strong, but they lack the players who are technically good. Andrej Arsjavin is one of those few players who is still greatly missed

I can see that you're a true soccer fan. You have lots of knowledge on the subject. That's great. When I was a kid I always played soccer with my pals but I never was a true fan. Now I just keep an eye on some sports news time after time.

@Vassili Even more so, I actually was a hardcore fan for a local football team and went to tons of matches. Since having moderate T, I watch the game on TV but still miss the sweet smell of ambiance in the local stadium. Anyway, are Estonians more ice hockey minded? I thought Baltic states are big players in that area of sports
