Can't wait for the Scotland vs England game tonight. Anyone else been following the tournament so far? Who are your picks to take the cup? France are favourites but I think that Belgium is looking pretty decent so far as well.

Italy look very very strong, with France and Belgium not far behind. Kudos to Wales for an excellent performance and pretty much qualifying for the next round, although I think that's about it for them in the coming fixtures. England all the way for me though obviously, after we give the Scots a serious hammering tonight ;)

How good was Bale! Some of those passes were sublime.

My team is the Dutch due to family origin but I also like England due to knowing the players from Prem League.

Agree but it's hard to ever feel like they are written off.

I'd take 4 points from 2 games any day of the week...England were slow and predictable and lost their bottle, because they didn't want to lose. Saying that, Scotland still didn't win with us playing badly and are in trouble with only 1 point from 2 games. As long as England don't screw up  and lose their next game, all should be ok for us for the next round.

The more favourable to win teams such as England,France,Germany,Spain and Portugal to name but a few are really flattering to deceive for me,Netherlands and Belgium have just been ok also...Italy look the best bet atm playing good solid attacking football and being their usual miserly selves at the back,they have won their last 10 matches on the trot and scored 31 since they last let one in! 59 for in the last 19 games and 3 against...29 match unbeaten run...that speaks for itself...but it is a tournament so anything can happen on the day...maybe Wales will suprise them today?

So true, especially after last night's hammering of Portugal, they sure look like serious contenders now.

Was an awful match...after all the hype

Looks like they take their domestic league more seriously than all these international tournaments. What a lackluster performance that was!

So Germany scrapped through...was squeaky bum time for them for a while there...now they play England on Tuesday...but both sides need to improve...Portugal & France looked like two teams happy for a draw so they would both progress...didn't see the entire draw now...do Portugal play Croatia? hard to believe they both came third in their groups...European Champions vs World Cup Finalists

France threw it away last night,Spain looked like they couldnt shut up shop for a while there also...and England have just finally gotten the better of Germany...still think Italy look the best beat thus far...but Denmark looked good and Czechs are really digging in and showing grit.

And thats the line up confirmed,,,Ukraine through...not a great match by any means but they stuck in there are got their reward.

England got them for quarter finals so that is good for them as I rate Ukraine the worst of the remaining teams. 

Belgium vs Italy should be a cracking game.

      I dig it, but then I also enjoyed Joe Elliot’s Down ‘n’ Outz side project, so it’s no surprise I’m enjoying this.

      By Eric3 · Posted

      I'm really excited for this one. Yes is one of my favorite bands but I just can't get into anything they do without him singing. That first song sounds awesome! His voice has held up remarkably well over the years and the band is great. Musically it reminds me a lot of something from The Ladder or the better parts of Union.

      They always have at least a handfull of good songs on each album, I'm not overwhelmed by those first two singles though. Jesper Binzer's (vocalist) solo record "Dying is Easy" from 2017, is better than every D-A-D realease post "Everything Glows" imo.

      Bon Jovi - “Forever” coming June 07, 2024

      By tobi is an animal · Posted

      Legendary - pedestrian modern country song which Jon is unable to elevate due to vocal limitations. A weak song made even worse by the inclusion of unnecessary/annoying whoa's.   We Made It Look Easy - another modern country song, I don't mind this one, it's pleasant enough but the song never really elevates   Living Proof - a rare up tempo song, this one has a good chorus probably the best chorus from Jon in almost 20 years, the weak vocals prevent it from being an anthem, and I don't like the talkbox on the song, I know Jon has become allergic to guitars but he shouldn't have buried the riff with the talkbox.   Waves - I don't mind it, another pleasant country song but jon does sound awful on the bridge. Seeds - bores me to tears Kiss the Bride - poor Stephanie. The People's House - does nothing for me Walls of Jericho - harmless and catchy, I don't mind it. I Wrote You a Song - decent melody, I don't mind it. Living in Paradise - milquetoast My First Guitar - Jon is in love with his first guitar, but as mentioned before Jon has become allergic to guitars so this song is kind of ironic. Another song I find a chore to get through. Interesting he should mention Kiss as their song Forever is much better than anything on this album.   Hollow Man - can't stand this singer/songwriter crap jon does, a hard pass. That Was Then, This Is Now - another boring modern country song, with vocals flatter than a pancake.
