Given the results, performances and acting and oh VAR we can win this tournament with a bit of good luck.

Let's wait until we have played a good team (or two). Having said that, I have to say the performances so far have been encouraging.

Russia were probably thinking the same before they played a decent team today.

Someone posted on twitter it was beneficial for Russia to lose and come 2nd in the group as to play their games in their favourite Stadium.

If they won the group they would have to wait unil the final to play there.

I'll reserve judgment until we play Belgium (probably the best side i have seen in the tournament so far)
That said, Spain and Portugal certainly look beatable

It’s too soon for this squad, in all likelihood but the signs look good for the future and hopefully they’ll manage at least the quarters.

Of course we can. I doubt very much that we will but it’s not beyond the realms of possibility. What this side has done in the past is of little relevance and the competition is looking weaker than ever, admittedly it’s still early days. We’re only 3 results away from the final.

Ronaldo makes sure his leg hits the defender, so he can fall over it, for missed penalty. Cheating scumbag.

It's all about momentum in major tournaments so part of me wants Southgate to play his strongest 11 vs Belgium to try and and keep our run going. Another win would see confidence take an even further boost and once you hit the knock out phase it's anyone's game. You might just find that Germany, Spain and possibly Brazil have already used up their luck for this tournament!

Pickford will have a nightmare against Belgium.

6-0 to Belgium.

Japan likely to top their group unless Senegal can beat Columbia or Poland turn up.

Butland to have a mare against Japan but England win 5-4.

Pope in for the next round.

England to not concede again.

I'm not at sure its safe to say we can win it, but it has to be said to our visitors from north of the wall.

Our chances of winning it are infinitely better than Scotlands, as we are actually in it.

For the record, I reckon anything better than last 16 would be a huge improvement.

We will hopefully be judged on the manner of our eventual exit, not the round.

Recent tournaments have seen some appalling performances and the team received a lot of criticism.

If we play well on the knock-out stages but ultimately lose to a better team, then fair enough, they're a young team and will move on to the next Euros.

Derisrory comments by some buffoons on here. But the more I watch the more I think we have a chance. Question. Who is better the highly rated much vaunted Higuain or Sam Vokes?

Yeah. All your posts they are mostly laghable.

Tell you what when we won the Championship I had a bet just before Christmas that we would win. I thought we were coming in strong. I have the same feeling now. Problem with people like you is you are so negative. Must be a leftie and anti Brexit.
