Looking forward to the ENG-SWE match this evening. Young on the left, Carroll upfront with Welbeck. I just hope that Carroll isn't as profligate in front of the net as he is/was for the Scousers.

I just wanted to add that in the scenario "Italy Advances with a win AND a 0-0 SPA/CRO draw." it is the only scenario that not only would Italy advance but they would WIN THE GROUP!

Seems weird that an Italy Win and a 0-0 draw in the other game makes them the group winner, but an Italy win and a 2-2 draw in the other game leaves them in third place.

Yeah!

What better way to stick it to Italy then to have 2 teams consipire to eliminate them on a ridiculous tiebreaker that encourages teams to throw games!

I know I watch soccer for cheating and not because I want to see best on best and some of the finest football on the planet.

And really, it is all on Spain. They have the quality to beat Croatia, it really just depends on how bad they want to stick it to the Italians.

Man it's a downpour. Match suspended due to lightning.

Looks like the fans are having a good time

I propose a unique and radical concept, ladies and gentlemen I present to you.......the 'roof.'

Notice how those under it remain miraculously dry despite the rain!

I know these ideas may shock, or even frighten you in the small and backwards nation of Ukraine, but they really are tried, tested and true.

I would go one step further and say that it is downright ######ed.

Under FIFA rules this would not happen as I believe they use total goal differential as the tie breaker.

Ukrainian fans booing the weather.

Take that 'God' if that is your real name.

Ribery looks angry even when having a pleasant conversation with a mate.

That's a real shame. The 6-minute version with barely any commentary was amazing.

so this is why 2020 is in Qatar....

[troutman]

Someone tweeted Fan960 today furious that people say "The Ukraine". He says it is only "Ukraine".

The more you know.

[Jimmy Stang]

Do you figure that they'll postpone the England game to keep the matches from running at the same time? Or, more likely, just forge ahead on schedule? Will TSN join the England game late or switch it over to TSN2?

This is a PVR setting dilemma!

To be fair, we'd get annoyed at people saying "the Canada."
