Yep I predicted once the last 16 was approached the goals will start flooding in. Too many teams parking the bus earlier on to get through via the 3rd places.

I wonder what odds you would have got for all the home nations to get out the group?

posted on 22/6/16

Probably good odds, I would not have expected both Irish teams to get through but they have done very well.

1.92 - #Euro2016 has seen the lowest goals per game ratio in the group stages of a European Championship finals since 1992 (1.75). Tight.

Thought as much. It's been so low on quality and goals.

Great result for the home nations but I do think this has been a very weak competition so far, and internationally speaking, teams aren't particularly strong at the moment, thus some of these weaker teams benefiting.

=========
Only one game changed the general scheme of things.
There were as many 0-0s in the last round of games as in the previous 2, and a further five 1-0s.

I think having third go through has meant teams playing tighter.

Goals have been lacking in this tourny to say the least

Tbf, a fair few would have bet on Belgium. Portugal are quite consistent in Euros, and Croatia were many peoples dark horses.

wales could make the semis

Just pees me off, we have a whole half of the draw with zero tradition and classic match ups now.

The whole history of major tournament football is about those classic matchups, now we have this shat!!!

But matches between the big teams are often dull. I couldn't wait for France v Germany in the last World Cup but it was dire. Plus, the other half of the draw has heavyweight clashes like Italy v Spain and England v Iceland.

But we are pretty much guaranteed massive games every round the way the draw has played out.
Italy v Spain this round.
Spain v Germany quarter.
Spain v France semi.

Think the top half could throw up some of the better games, tbh. As Clockwork says, you often get stalemate with the big guns.

We shall see, at least it can't get any worse now as teams will have to play at some point.

No football tomorrow so I am going to work

Chile v Colombia first though

I went to the count of the votes at the general election last year to represent one of the parties.

My job was to stay by a table and watch the counters count and make sure no fiddling was occurring and no electotal fraud was being committed. This happens everywhere. No votes were rubbed out or changed.

Tomorrow the leave and remain campaign will do the same thing. It will almost be impossible to rub it out with people watching.

So don't worry about the use of a pencil

Dunno who I want to win this one.
