If we play like we did against Turkey, we'll have a great chance.

I wouldn't read much into today because we rested those players on yellow cards.

It's just the tactics employed that concerns me? Yes played well against Turkey at times but they lost all their games..... but to qualify is great so cannot complain at that really...

How bad was Hartson?

Can’t believe how inept he is.

Wales will play Finland, Russia or Denmark in the Last 16 - whoever finishes as runner up in Group B.

There is a small chance that Belgium will finish in second but it seems unlikely.


The final group games in Group B take place on Monday at 8pm.

Russia currently hold second place. They will take second place if they at least draw with Denmark and Finland don't beat Belgium.

Finland will finish in second if they better Russia's result - if they lose and Denmark win, Finland will need them to not overturn a two-goal deficit in goal difference.

Denmark will finish in second if they beat Russia and Belgium beat Finland - they should get the swing in goal difference if that happens

Belgium will finish second if they lose to Finland


The game will take place in Amsterdam next Saturday at 5pm.

He's had a brain tumour removed. You need to be more respectful of the difficulties that will have left him with.

Maybe he shouldn’t drink before games if he has difficulty handling it.

Most of the commentary is piss poor.. if you think Hartson is bad , there’s a girl co-commenting on the Swiss/Turkey game who could be mistaken for the Artful Dodger.. what the Dickens is going on..

yes he beat cancer and i think everyone was willing him on to do so at the time... but co commentator really isnt his forte and my recollection of him speaking in interviews pre illness was similar to his performance last night...
maybe one of the 3 in the studio , 10 mins of straight forward stuff he has had time to think about ?
will add i agree with Rumpo in that the woman watching /screaming in the Turkey game was a few rungs further down the ladder again though...

How would having a brain tumor removed make him chat nonsense?!

Are you looking to be offended for someone you don't even know.

I agree. Earnie speaks a lot of sense and highlights stuff a normal fan might not have seen. He'd be a better choice for co-commentator. Although that accent!!

Best co-commentator I've heard for Wales matches is Dave Edwards on Sky.

Group C comes to a close today at 5pm.

Holland play North Macedonia in Amsterdam.

Austria play Ukraine in Bucharest.



Holland have already won the group.

North Macedonia can't qualify, and are guaranteed to finish bottom of the group.


Ukraine will finish in second place if they avoid defeat, if they lose then Austria will finish in second.

A point would almost certainly be enough for Austria to progress as one of the best third placed teams.


Would not be a huge surprise if the game between Austria and Ukraine is incredibly boring and finishes 0-0, that result would suit both of them.



Whoever finishes second will play Italy at Wembley in the last 16.

Holland will play one of the best third placed teams in Budapest.

Holland 2-0 up now and look to be joining Italy in winning three out of three.

Wijnaldum with the goal.

Re: Group C final games underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Mon Jun 21, 2021 5:16 pm

3-0 to Holland.

Wijnaldum again.

Austria take second place in Group C. They will play Italy at Wembley in the Last 16.

Ukraine finish third with three points. They will have to wait to find out if that's enough for them to go through.

Holland had already won the group.

Re: Group C final games underway " Euro 2020 topic "

Mon Jun 21, 2021 6:06 pm

At 8pm, Group B has it's final games.

Belgium play Finland in St Petersburg and Russia play Denmark in Copenhagen.


Belgium are already though and will win the group if they avoid defeat to Finland. They will finish second of they lose.

Finland will win the group if they win. They will finish second if they draw and Denmark win.

Russia will finish second if they win or if they draw and Finland fail to win.

Denmark will finish second if they win and Belgium win. Their goal difference is currently in deficit by two from Finland, so just a win will probably be enough if Belgium win.


A point would probably be enough for both Finland and Russia as that would take them to four points.


Wales will play whoever finishes second in the Last 16 next Saturday at 5pm in Amsterdam.

The group winner will play a third placed team in Seville next Sunday.

Denmark have taken the lead against Russia.

Damsgaard with the goal.

As it stands, they would finish 3rd.

It's still 0-0 between Finland and Belgium.
