    Excluding Italy, England have a piss easy route to the final yet again. Slovakia, Italy and one of Romania, Austria, Turkey or Slovenia.

    Bet Switzerland knock out Italy too.

    This is the only slight problem with group stages, Portugal have stuck a pretty much 2nd team as they had already won the group, big advantage to Georgia.

    How good have Georgia been
    According to the commentator, they’re “11 excited puppies”. I think he meant it as a compliment but maybe he needs to rethink!

    Italy have been amongst the biggest disappointments so far.

    World class goalkeeper and a whole bunch of bang average everywhere else.

    England would be very confident if they hadn't been as poor as they have so far.

    They just have that habit of getting the job done right now with the absolute minimum to spare though.

    Georgia have fully deserved that. A real sleeves rolled up performance. Outstanding hit on the break football

    And there you go. Little Georgia, full of energy and belief have qualified while Negative Norman's lads are home already.

    Amazing what having a world class forward can do for a team.

    So we should copy a team who were 9 points behind us in qualifying? They got lucky with a nations league qualification........or thats what Scotlands qualification was called at the time.

    Their attitude has been spot on in these games, no negativity just having a real go, we were slow and ponderous and deserved nothing.

    Slovakia, Slovenia,Georgia and Denmark all with similar or smaller populations than us qualified for last 16 we’re needing a review into the running of the game here this small nation thing doesn’t fly anymore

    We've got supposedly better players all over the pitch.

    It's amazing what a positive attitude can do for a team.

    Yeh im not disagreeing, but we qualified way ahead of them and had a couple bad games in a tournament. It happens. They played a 2nd string Portugal who already qualified, got a ridiculous penalty, and manged to win. Fair play to them, but thats tournament football.

    Did Georgia and Norway have a review when we qualified from the groups and they didn't. It was all about the tactics in the finals, Georgia went for it we certainly didn't. Then again we were a terrible refereeing decision away from a penalty and beating hungry and drawing with Switzerland. Dykes and Hickey were also huge losses for us

    Our record in the run up to the tournament was poor and that continued into the tournament, it wasn't just 2 bad games.
