As with anything, the vast majority do. Ask polak who is there. Since 1990, hooliganism isn't really acceptable in the mainstream anymore. At least from what I've seen.

These tournaments are great for opposing fans to get together and drink and party. There are countless videos on the internet of different fan groups from all countries partying together.

Of course, bad apples have to ruin it for everyone though.

OK so I just read that the plan is to invade the pitch and attack the ref in the 30th minute. Hopefully something is done to prevent this.

Lord save us from these idiots.

Get a real job or something for Pete's sake.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I know we had the Mountain scare Ronaldo ####less before, we need to have him on the pitch waiting to destroy any Croatia goons from invading the pitch. What a bunch of losers.

Good news! Mario Gomez is starting

Not very smart to publicize that, but I guess we're not talking about rocket scientists here. Hopefully the gendarmes get to crack some dudes in the head.

Predictions
Germany wins by 3
Poland bests Ukraine on the strength of a solid fullback core, Fabianski playing razer sharp and Lewandowski will shine.
Spain wins by 2. The pace and skill they play at. Backed by DeGea is too much for Croatia to handle.
Deep team when Pedro is a sub.
Czech over Turkey.
Took yesterday off so won't be watching these.

And he scores lol. But to be fair it's all been about Muller so far, he's just dominating them.

It's not rocket science, play a true number 9 and he will open up space for Muller and Ozil. This has been true for years yet they always want to try something else. Now if only Muller could find his finishing touch

man. if these #######s get croatia booted out of the tournament with a disruption today that will so disappointing. god damn it. #### off.

[GirlySports]

how hammered is polak right now?

[GirlySports]

first confirmed R16 matchup will be Switzerland vs Poland 7am Saturday

Slovaks are officially in. Almost certain they will play Germany.

N. Ireland should be in
Albania getting no help yet

[Senator Clay Davis]

So third place update after Northern Ireland didn't get a point:

Slovakia is official in the final 16
Northern Ireland needs some help, namely draws from other teams.
Iceland or Portugal both only need a point to qualify
Austria, Sweden and the Czechs are in if they win.
Ireland needs Sweden to not win, or to beat Italy by 3 or more goals.
If Portugal loses there's still a chance a team with 2 points qualifies

[GirlySports]

You forgot about Turkey

Germany with a fairly standard cruise to win the group without breaking a sweat, the Irish defended well but they still let a lot of chances happen.

I have to say so far that I've been pretty disappointed in this tournament, with only 3 group stage games all of the teams have been playing not to lose and its resulted in some very negative, defensive play.

this is what happens when 16 out of 24 teams make it. Play it safe, don't get injured or suspended.

I understand that, its nice that it was expanded so we have all of these teams but no one is going for it when only a third of them get eliminated.

It makes for some really dull matches. I miss the Euro when every game was huge, thats what made it really great.

[Senator Clay Davis]

If you're wondering why Northern Ireland lost, yeah Germany is significantly better, but I'm gonna choose to blame it on the dab during the national anthems.

[Senator Clay Davis]

LOL video shows how long he did it, plus he slips in a Nazi salute at the end

That kid needs to be kicked in the face. Hard.

[Senator Clay Davis]

You could always print out a picture, stick it on a padded wall and just kick his face as many times as you see fit.
