Nice win from Germany. First goal for the national team from Boateng, btw (would love to have this guy as my neighbour... </obscure political reference>). Next up will be either Spain or Italy. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm very pessimistic for the quarter-final, no matter which team it will be. :(
Oh my god England, what is it with you and your goalkeepers?
Fun fact: In german, a "Siegtor" is the goal that wins a match (Sieg=Win, Tor=Goal). So, the player "Siegthórsson" quite literally is the player who scores the winning goal in a match.

Well, at least you don't have to deal with the humilation now. In a few years, no one will even remember Holland wasn't at the Euros 2016 and if they remember, they won't care. Englands defeat will be remembered for a very long time.
Also: mad props to Iceland, even in the end they were still attacking. Completely deserved.
Yep. It shows again that football is a team sport. The single players aren't really great, only playing second league or sub-par first league teams and in some scenes you can see that they definitely lack great technical skills. But they play with heart, they play for their team. If one team member makes a mistake, there are two ready to jump in and help him out.
Just look at how well they defend. Often the opposing playmaker is defended by two or even three icelanders. So, the lack of technical skill is made up for with energy and fitness.

Same.
It's either gonna be a slaughter or boring.
1:1 at half time. Both goals scored by Bayern Munich players, lol.
Rui Patricio is the fucking man.
SEMI-FINALS MOTHERFUCKERS
Portugal didn't win a single game in 90 minutes so far. Qualifying with three draws, beating Croatia in extra time, beating Poland in penalties... I have the weird feeling that they are becoming the next EC champions...
Fuck. And I predicted an easy win for Belgium... ah well, semi finals against Portugal will be easy, then. It's another 1-1!
R.I.P. Belgium
I never thought this would happen. I was so confident for my country that I forgot that Bale and Ramsey are not the only great players in this team. Both teams have quality players but Wales has more experience I guess.
Wales have earned their place. They haven't been carried by Bale. The whole team played well during that and their tactics were great. I'm confident that Wales will beat Portugal in the next game considering how crap Portugal have been.
Hoping for Wales vs Iceland in the final. If that happens then it'll have been the best euros of all time in my opinion.
???-2004?=dark ages, 2005?=atomic betty era, 2006=red dwarf era, 2007-2009=newgrounds era, 2009-2014= anime era,
What have I done with my life?
We Belgians get so fucking cocky every time we play against Wales.
"Haha who's even heard of those sheep fuckers lmao EZ win". Long story short this is the 4th time we've lost from Wales IIRC
