My wife is half Austrian so would love to see them do well, but I can't see them winning it, even in the year of the underdog. Traditionally I've always liked Portugal, but I can't get away from the fact that Ronaldo is an arrogant fanny. At the price I'd definitely fancy Italy(16/1), with Sweden as an interesting wee outside bet (100/1).

Austria to win the group are reasonable odds.

This really pisses me off. The security forces are busting a gut to keep the fans safe from terrorist attacks and these arse holes are chucking chairs at each other.

Yes, I notice the "British" fans are misbehaving again. Time for an Outraged of Ibrox (James Traynor of yon parish) press release blaming Hibs fans and demanding an apology from Petrie.

Actually, in the meeja, it is British "fans" against French "hooligans". See what they're doing there...?

I heard that the England fans had been sitting peacefully all day until a group of around 50 local French fans decided to have a go at them.

Seemingly, the police focussed their attention on the locals.

I've got a feeling that Wales could be the dark horses this year. They've got a world class player in Bale who is a genuine match winner, has the ability to turn a game on it's head out of nothing. Wales play really well as a team and don't concede a lot of goals. Definitely worth a fiver at 80/1.

Got a video message from a pal from outside the Queen Victoria at about 10.00pm last night and it looked and sounded no different to your average crowd on the bevvy before a big game. They didn't have a clue what I was talking about when I checked this morning that they'd managed to avoid the trouble.

If Messi stays fit and gets protection from the refs I can't see past Argentina.

**brianmc** · 10-06-2016 05:26 PM

Looks like the Spanish goalie is in deep doodoo

Craig Brown - "I think it's childish not to wish England well" however "I would rather Wales, n.Ireland and Ireland do better" haha

Craig Brown can jog the **** on. You'd think a guy who has managed Scotland would understand the tribal nature of football. Another fud who equates Scots wanting England to get beat at football as anti-English xenophobia.

No true Scotsman wants England to do well. Just like no Hibby wants Hearts to do well. This isn't rocket science

What a clueless dinosaur he is.

Craig Brown is a lot of things but I'm sure he reads posts in full before going off on a rant

***SteveHFC*** · 10-06-2016 06:15 PM

France to win 2-0.

No true Scotsman comment is absolute bollocks. For me there is a big difference between club rivalry and national. I'm non-plused about international football so I'll watch the games as a neutral

**Waxy** · 10-06-2016 06:31 PM

Stuck a couple if quid on Italy. Thought 18/1 was pretty high for them. Think Germany will probably win it though.

**~~High-On-Hibs~~** · 10-06-2016 06:52 PM

Apparently Guetta is so good that he can mix tunes with his CDJ turned off.

***Mon Dieu4*** · 10-06-2016 06:54 PM

Bring on le Marseillaise, this opening is gash

**Pretty Boy** · 10-06-2016 07:05 PM

What a ****ing save by Lloris.

***SteveHFC*** · 10-06-2016 07:06 PM

Great start.

***Mon Dieu4*** · 10-06-2016 07:16 PM

French are settling into it a bit more now, I could watch Payet play fitba all day

Haha I still like him, West Ham are ok in my book, I love your relentless approach to French football

***lord bunberry*** · 10-06-2016 07:21 PM

Why do itv have the Romanian team abbreviated to rou?

***blackpoolhibs*** · 10-06-2016 07:23 PM

Quite an open game, i'm a little surprised at that.

Don't think it's ITV. French for Romania is Roumanie.

It's to do with them being French speaking and other political things. Was the same in the Olympics.

**heretoday** · 10-06-2016 07:29 PM

The ball's too lightweight. Crosses are going over their heads!

He's absolute class, but he promised to stay at OM last season and then handed in a transfer request when we'd already sold half our midfield. He'll go to one of the big clubs for 50 million eventually imo.
