Croatia will take some shifting in that half of the draw.

Peresic and Rakitic were excellent going forward, and behind them the old warhorse Srna, who seems to have been around forever, is still such a presence in that team. Croatia will take some stopping going by that performance.

It doesn't matter who we play. With our precise, crisp passing, our woeful crosses and the absence of a barn door I do believe our progress in this tournament is somewhat limited.

Let's just not get beaten by Hungary / Iceland / Portugal / Austria first.
This. Getting to the last eight is probably about right. Any better and we'll have pulled out a special performance, any less and it will seem like a failure.

When it gets to last 8 i would more in favour of it turning into a draw from a hat scenario.

Yes they are in same side if draw, that's why one of them will now be a good EW bet, take your pick? My money going on Croatia but a sneaky £5 (£2.50 ew) on Wales as well at 33/1

Totally agree
I hope we play Portugal. Genuinely. Sick of smaller teams parking the bus against us. We haven't properly seen the England team at the Euros yet, still feels like qualifying so far.
Need a team to actually come at us and leave gaps for Vardy to be of any use.

So Portugal (possibly), France, Germany seems like a likely route to the final! In the unlikely event that we pulled that off we'd probably then crash and burn to Wales in the final!

It would be quite satisfying to beat Portugal on penalties with Ronaldo missing the all important one.
I put £20 each way on Croatia before the tournament. Was shitting it on Saturday morning when I thought they may get thrown out for throwing flares onto the pitch and fighting in the stands. Hopefully now the fans will realise they've got a seriously good chance of going a long, long way and possibly winning it.

Well Greece won the thing in 2004 despite being dreadfully dull and plodding throughout and scoring about half a dozen goals in the entire tournament, all of them from corners. Wales are the FLAIR team of this tournament and well worth an each way bet

Is there a link to a traditional visual of how it stands?
We'd beat Portugal in 90 minutes based on both sides current form.
I had a tenner on them to win. Because I had a free bet, I put another tenner on Italy, there's a reasonable chance they both could contest the final. I could have done with an easier draw for Italy though

It must be me but I think that we have benefitted by coming runners up as I believe we have more chance of progressing than if we had won the group, as other results turned out.

I'm not a betting man but Croatia should give you a decent run for your money.
We've dominated 3 games against 3 sides who have not tried whatsoever to win. We've had no chance to play our proper game yet still looked decent. Vardy would have a MASSIVE party against their dreadful defence.
