Ronaldo has an amazing tan for someone living ın Messi's shadow

I did and the cretin Bastard is from Madeira
The French sun has gone to his head, maybe is the rain after all, not the Madeira wine for sure

Is that a self portrait .

You wish :-)

What a fantastic achievement getting all 3 home nations into the last sixteen plus Ireland. It's more remarkable as three of the four were seeded 4th in their groups.

Four of the six bottom seeded teams qualified and the other two only narrowly missed out on best 3rd place qualification.

I'll be cheering on Iceland when they play England as their captain Aaaron Gunnarson is one of our very own Cardiff City players although I won't be too disappointed if England get through.

Good luck all.

Yeah - a fantastic achievement alright

Finishing in the top 3 of a group of 4

Three over achieved given their rankings , one over hyped team with no passion under achieved.

Great result by the home nations and Ireland.....have to be congratulated in all four qualifying.....now it gets more difficult....hope England get their scoring sorted....fingers crossed...

We've lasted longer in Europe than the UK :-)

Au revoir Hollande and Aufweidersen to you Merkel

As I have a warm glow in my heart for Wales (at present) i will be cheering you on to win.

Come on bloody great Wales.

Had to laugh this afternoon, one of the local pubs (Aberdeen...that's in Scotland Fred) From Day 1 of Euro16 supported Wales, massive Welsh Flags covering the inside of windows and pennants all over the bars. You know the score 'Anyone but England' mentality. Guess what, been replaced by Irish flags and pennants on the bars today :0)

Lol what do they know about football Chris :-)

They've never reached the knockout stage in any competition , got more in common with Luxembourg than with the rest of the UK's football teams.

LOL! Spot on Dil.

Dont come home too soon.

Now they dont bother goıng at all.

in all fairness there were a few Scottish flags in the Welsh end for the game against Russia.

Probably see them in the Irish end this afternoon :-)

Would bump into each other......it's like two british clubs bumping into each other in the uefa club draw.....I think Wales will clinch it...

Need an early goal Wales or it will a tedious grind .

You should be used to that supporting England :-)
