It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

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 Guess what, been replaced by Irish flags and pennants on the bars today :0)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 :-)

Dil we won!

Lol saw ur post earlier and thanks.

Just goes to prove only two things in life matter ... the referendum and football.

COME ON ICELAND


(i'm on a roll)

Dil...you sound like an advert !......time to remind you that rugby is the main sport in Wales and ....and....oh dear....

Best player in the tournament so far is Gareth Bale in my opinion.....France were better than Ireland earlier on...the latter scored perhaps too early and I knew when they did not get a second which they should have : they would live to regret it........these overcelebrations ought to end quickly ......it can end up with tears : remember when Sturridge scored....there was enough time for GB to almost get an equaliser.....for pete's sake....keep your concentration...and wait till the end....what the hell was Joe Hart doing at the other end of the pitch ?....NUTS...(sorry I just mean the best)(euhh...I mean best not best nuts...).......anyway....just seen the Germans dismantle the Slovaks that we couldn't beat...2 things : the germans played better than previously and secondly the Slovaks were guilty of pathetic defending at times and some players were sluggish to say the least......the winner of Spain-Italy will have a tough game though that's for sure......anyway ; come on England get us some goals !.....and something to cheer about !....

Dıe Mannshaft will wın ıt. Got my money on them from the start. Italy are there nemesıs. Never beaten them ın Tournament football.

Hope England trouble the net tonıght. Stayıng up late to watch ıt.
