England/Wales 2PM kick off is a ball ache. Getting my holiday request in ASAP!

At first I thought it was a terrible draw for NI, but thinking about it, there's a good chance you'll qualify just by winning a game. Given that, Ukraine coming out is a real boost. We're probably getting knocked out but at least there's a chance.

ROI almost certainly fucked.

England vs Wales could be tasty.

I think Wales can get through but hope we can get revenge for the rugby!

Nightmare for the Irish but with 3rd teams qualifying they will still hold hope.

England v Wales in at 2pm on a weekday - sickies galore!

Good group. Wanted England or Belgium and seeing as we have Belgium's number anyway I'm more than happy with playing England. Definitely think we can get out of it, if not by one of the 3rd place slots.

Wales in England's group. Some idiot on BBC says Wales have never beaten England in a competitive game.

Early international "friendlies" were really "challenge matches" and home internationals were obviously competitive.

I'll be at Wales vs England and the Russia game in Toulouse. I'm busy the Saturday before. Unreal that it's really happening.

Portugal v Hungary isn't the end of the world.

The Northern Ireland one will be good for the atmosphere that the Northern Irish will create.

4 Cevlar vests wouldn't go a miss for that one! Not looking to sell them mate, looking to exchange as we have booked our flights already.

Its more the fact that I have to watch Ukraine and Hungary twice that is making me a little light headed.

Iceland v Austria :lol:

Not too fussed though, I'm also there for England v Slovakia, Spain v Croatia, Germany v Northern Ireland and Italy v Republic which will be awesome in the fan parks.

That actually sounds like a good game. This is Iceland's best ever team versus Austria's best for decades. Fancy the Austrians to surprise a few in this tournament.

I'm in Benidorm for all our games, Should be good. Was there last year when we played Slovakia or Slovenia which ever it was and the atmosphere was really good even though the Scotts hated it. Got quite heated at times and can see it being the same next time especially when we play Wales!

To all those who are thinking at heading over for the Wales game, I'd hang fire for now.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/england-vs-wales-euro-2016-7006661

Very good chance this gets moved to an evening kick off, UEFA will be all over the extra TV ratings. They might be a bit put off by all the drunk fans possibly causing trouble though, can see a sizeable plod presence from the UK heading over the support the local police in Lens. I think this is getting moved, makes more sense than having it at 2pm when half the UK won't be able to watch it.

All those games will be brilliant. Sell out stadia with passionate fans. Not sure what you expected to get really.

Booked flights, trains and digs for the russia and Wales games - should get tickets in the ballott. Also got Portugal v Iceland tickets in St Etienne on the 14th inbetween those 2. Not sure what to do for the Slovakia game. Might swerve it and come home for a week and go back for the knockouts. Can't bloody wait. Hope the Wales game stays 2pm as we have digs in Paris and were planning on commuting in before the game and going back after.

So I've got tickets for the quarter finals in Marseille and Bordeaux. Marseille looks to be 2nd A or C v 1st in D (so probably Spain) and Bordeaux looks to be 1st in C (Germany) v 1st in E (Belgium/Italy) or maybe 2nd D. To cap it off, if England or Wales win Group B and their last 16 game then I'll be able to watch it in the fan park in Bordeaux. I can't complain too much at all with that.

Its from a Polish site but could be a good guide for predicting!

Got England to reach the semis and lose to Spain.

France v Germany in the other semi and the hosts to repeat their World Cup home success...

Ireland with another tough group at the euros. It'll be labelled as the 'death group'..... I don't think it's that bad, we could get a result against Italy and Sweden. We'll have done very well if we do get through.
Well, at least we didn't get this:

Seems that the England v Wales game is staying as a 2pm kick off given the Beeb have picked up the rights to broadcast it. Very surprising. I do find it odd that there are so many mid afternoon kick offs, gonna lose a load of potential viewers across Europe because of that.

Happy enough with our group.

On paper it looks very tough, but in reality we can get positive results against Sweden, Italy and Belgium. All winnable games.

I think a win against Sweden and a draw against Italy or Belgium can get us through via 3rd place.
