Netherlands Ukraine - simply the best game so far. Properly entertaining, feel very sorry for Ukraine after two sublime goals from them.

After looking down and out, those two quick goals by Ukraine must have shook the Dutch, and I thought an unlikely draw was on the cards, but they held their nerve and got the winner.

So good to hear that Christian is on his road to recovery. We witnessed a miracle happen on that pitch last night and it came in the form of the blistering reactions of the ref, teammates and medical team who got him out there alive.
Agree 100% on Christian Eriksen. We shall have to see if we ever see him on a football pitch again, but imo that matters not a jot when health is concerned. I hope his health will allow a return, but if not then I am sure he still has so much to offer to football in other roles should he choose to do that. The only thing that matters is that he is thankfully still with us. It was horrible to think about, so poor Johnny must have felt terrible watching it as it happened. Hopefully he will fully recover.

In slightly more than an hour, after the stout hearted men of oak heroics (long sentence here for additional dramatic effect) of England yesterday (which I didn't watch) The braw highland laddies of the land of Rabbie Burns step out onto the green baize. Will they conquer like Braveheart did in his pomp? We shall soon discover!

Thought England were decent enough against good opposition. Goal came just as the men in black were gaining upper hand. They look - and speak - like a squad in siege mode, using the ongoing conflict with a section of the fan base to positive effect. Delighted that Gareth Southgate has assembled such an encouragingly youthful squad. Group C will be lively if yesterday's games are any indication. Austria - N. Macedonia was an ace watch for neutrals, especially the feisty second half. Closer than scoreline suggests: Austria only wrapped it up in injury time when Mad Marko Arnautovic scored a beauty which, evidently, made him want to fight everyone in the stadium. God help us if they lose. Agree with everyone in world that Netherlands - Ukraine was best game to date. Gung ho attack, wobbly defending, a comeback out of nowhere. From what we've seen from their respective opening performances, Ukraine must be mortified they don't share a group with Russia. Today looks promising.
Monday June 14
Group D: Scotland V Czech Republic. Group E: Poland V Slovakia Group E: Spain V Sweden

Scotland must be so disappointed with that result, particularly after such a long time not qualifying for a Euro or World Cup finals. Czech Republic was seen by some as just making up the numbers in the group, but that has been shown to be very wide of the mark.
