Italy-Spain
Iceland-England
All are welcome.
/lifelong/ Iceland fan checking in
I've disliked Italy since world cup '06, but now I'm pulling for them. I don't know why. Sports are weird.
So pic related just scored then
Iceland will win 2-0. My repeating digits will confirm.

This is /comfy/ UKbros
This has been a good game. Shame it's so early.
Lol
If Italy knocks off Spain and Germany, they're the real European champs no matter who wins the tournament.
It's kinda weird that the seven nations chant has now completely overtaken ole ole ole ole.
Does anyone on the planet want England to win this game?
What do they eat in Iceland. It is all stereotypical shit like salted fish and root vegetables?
>>68997638
Ice.
>>68996577
I hope not.
I'm so nervous lads
who /lifelong/ iceland fan here?

It's cool to be blue nowadays

Tangential Iceland question for US fans: why didn't we see aron johannsson in the Copa. Is he out of form or out of favor?
>tfw McDonald's coffee drinks are buy one get one this week and you have a pair of iced coffees for the game
qt glasses gril spotted
Who had the better England career: Rooney or Beckham? The only thing I remember from either international career is beckhams free kick against Greece.
what a great goal
Well this games off to a fun start. Honestly thought it was over st 1-0
>>68999528
>beckhams free kick against Greece.
>>69000447
Sorry!
http://youtu.be/wGuccP0SlnE
fucking hell, this isridiculous
holy shit
Holy shit lads!
English world cup goalkeeping. Why does this keep happening to them?
>>69001264
Every English kid wants to be a striker. Goalkeepers are made to do it by the more popular kids.
Hart has self esteem issues that affect his ability despite being on paper pretty good
>>69001511
>Every English kid wants to be a striker. Goalkeepers are made to do it by the more popular kids.
Isn't it like that in every country? Outside of Germany maybe.
>>69001511
Funny how in the US, goalkeepers are the desired position.
>>69001783
>>69001789
has there ever been a really good american striker through? not counting women
>>69002018
Not anyone prolific enough to be idolized. McBride was the best but workmanlike, Donovan unwillingness to stay in Europe diminished him. Generally if we win heroically it's due to a keeper standing on his head.
>Diving against Iceland
>getting nutmegged by a plumber
300k a week well spent
> Spurs and Man City
Who's idea was it to let their fucking dogshit in the England side?
I like how Woy looks surprised every time that guy from Iceland is taking a long throw
Just being honest, if Island defeats England, I'm quite afraid we wont beat them either
>>68995438
It's disgusting when bigger teams use the seven nations chant either way.
> Glenn Hoddle
I've had enough. Radio 5 are literally ripping into Englel's tactics
>>69003104
Have faith in Giroud's flick-on headers.
How is Iceland's defence so impenetrable. this is mental
the funniest part about this is that England actually loves this sport and they get devastated when they lose
It sucks when the US squad loses in international competition but the NFL starts up again in two months so...........
>>69003455
What sports do they even have in Iceland?
Walrus wrestling?
>>69003455
Some of us wouldn't miss the NFL if it folded......
>>69003432
It's not. England is just shit. They had trouble scoring against Russia, remember?
>>69003455
Which is bigger/more popular NBA or NFL?
>>69003536
That's Greenland
Iceland just listens to Bjork
>>69003642
NFL by far
>>69003588
some men like to dress up like girls, what's your point
>>69003642
NFL is a behemoth here. NBA is bigger amongst minorities
>>69003642
NFL by a healthy margin, but they don't overlap much and even then football is only on specific days of the week.
What's bigger the NHL or NBA?
>>69003797
>what's your point
That some of us care more about soccer, I guess.
It's official: I need to go to Iceland and bring me back a qt to bear me hearty sons and comely daughters
>>69003986
Nhl is #4 in the country, but #2 in some cities
>>69003986
NBA
NHL is only popular among whites in cold weather areas
>>69003999
I care more about football but I don't want to see the MLS fold, on the contrary I'd love for the league to develop and give me a reason to go see games at the new stadium in my city.
You sound like a faggot for wishing a sport you don't like to disolve
>EURO comfy thread
>Americans talking about handegg and basketball
>>69003986
1. NFL
2. NBA
3. MLB
4. soccer (all)
5. NHL
NHL is not at all popular with minorities, but is huge with white people. and in Canada it's the national sport and Canada is basically like another state.
>>68998597
that sweater looks top comfy m8
>>69003642
You'd know the answer if you were on /sp/ on Sundays from September to February
I still say it's coming home
>>69003104
I agree. If the meme magic is this powerful, there's no stopping it and they could well do a Greece. I'd much prefer it if England did a Greece, of course.
#Brexit soon
I don't even like sports
>Iceland was also the first country to recognize Croatia, having done so on 19 December 1991.
Best island ever confirmed.
ICE LAND ICE LAND ICE LAND
For fuck's sake england what are you doing ?
>>69004149
I didn't say I wished NFL would disappear. I watch redzone every weekend. My point is that comparatively football doesn't matter much to me, that's all.
Agree that MLS is a tough watch unless you have a local team.
>>69004596
Players are bored, this is cutting into their summer holidays. They just want to go to shagaluf
>>69004326
I hope we'll beat Iceland.
I doubt we'll beat France.
If we somehow win the semi-final, the tournament is ours.
England definitely aren't among the top three most likely teams to win, though, so >we will need a lot of luck.
England, what's your best English striker pairing who play together at club level?
>>69004927
Based Italy have had this won since they schooled Belgium in the first game.
>>69005057
Owen & Heskey
>>69005057
Drinky and Vardy.
>>69004264
It's medium comf. A little warm for a sweater today but was nice while the marine layer hovered
Hi
>>69005104
This. Although we shouldn't underestimate the meme magic.
>>69005057
Probably Rooney and Rashford.
>Player on the ball
>looking around for options
>literally no one making ANY movement off the ball
>pass sideways
>wonder why nothing is happening
EVERY FUCKING GAME
HOW ARE THEY NOT SEEING THIS
NO FUCKING MOVEMENT
WHATSOEVER
>>69005435
I'm pulling for meme magic, it's been a great year for it otherwise
though there isn't enough consensus as to who should win I think for the magic to be strong enough
This is a new low
What sage advise is Captain Rooney giving
"just like the first half, but this time don't be shit"
>>69005104
you can still get them at 13/2 which sounds good to me!
>>69005532
I suspect that the Meme Magic has grown so strong this year, that is actually killing celebrities
>RIP Howe, Ali, Prince, Bowie
>>69005104
They must be favourites now. Germany, Belgium and France are all likely winners; anyone other than that would be crazy. Wales have probably the next best chance.
why are they singing my country tis of thee
>>69005678
blood sacrifices have to be made for it to be effective
>>69005472
>>69005348
>>69005127
Do you have a decent target forward anymore? Assuming Crouch is long past it and Carroll never had it. Haven't watched the Prem in a couple years.
>>69005752
This is a LOT of fucking Meme Magic
Sterling is USELESS
Sturridge kills every momentum and attack and tries to dribble the entire team
Hart is a piece of shit
>>69005687
>>69005532
There are too many meme teams. Wales and Iceland might get another win each, but we won't have enough \o/ power for both of them.
>>69005510
It's been like that since 1998 as far as I can remember.
Meme magic ruled again
I'd have taken Aaron fucking Lennon over sterling
>>69005902
Iceland is clearly more of a meme and would win.
Lol Kane on free kicks again?
Comfy. This is funny but England will come back. Cap this.
TIM HOWARD TIER DEFENDER
Fucking Magic
>tfw bet 10 euros on Italy and Iceland to win

>>69006044
>team full of City, Spurs and one Arsenil bottler
>comeback
>>69006091
Yes, sir
meme magic
Friendly observation that if Iceland get to the final, you could easily fit a tenth of the entire country into the stadium for the match.
>>69006143
3,65 for Italy and 8,01 for Iceland so if Iceland wins I make 290 euros :^)
>>69005860
go for it la
it's not that they beat the likes of Belgium and Spain. It's how they did it. They're better than the team that won the WC. That team was shit up front but their defending was top tier stuff. Conte is the new Special One.
>>69006044
>>69006144

>>69006237
yeah, they just solid,well drilled. like a hypnotised steve collins

England must be relieved at least that the Roy era is over.

Wrong thread
>>68990146
hey Brits, this isn't looking good.
does most of this squad get scrapped? oh is Roy the main concern, I can't imagine sterling staying.
What is the point of WIlshere? He literally just stands in the middle and doesn't get involved in the game at all.
If we're gonna endlessly cross the ball in every fucking match why not bring Carroll
>>69006596
>GBP is dropping again
oh shit better dig out my amazon.co.uk password thank you racist brits
>Sterling cucked
Vardy just on now. HANG ROY. How he is still in charge after 2014 I'll never know.
>>69006596
The shame never goes away best to be anhero 2bh
>the state of English football
Jesus lads even if you counter meme magic and manage to get past this you'll get absolutely wrecked in quarters
>>69006559
S-sorry
>>69006866
No harm. Checked.
>>69006695
Woy was gone either way, afaik his contract is up anyway
the bicycle kick would've been the biggest meme catalyst ever :/
>>69006735
Or john fucking terry for that matter
>meme magic
>>69006931
Thread living up to its name
>>69006737
I'd wait, it's only the beginning.
Still feel like England will pip this. Vardy or Kane make it 2-2, then win in pks. Just a feeling based on absolutely no evidence
Considering ending the suffering lads.
Everything is terrible.
>>69006777
I think no one but him is willing to accept the job by now 2bh
>>69007193
Even if they do, they're pretty much out anyway
No way they get past >us and Germany by playing like this
>>69007193
>win in pks
>>69007034
Sure is.
>>69005860
I don't normally /bet/ but definitely considering this.
>>69007217
Do it
It only gets worse
>>69007217
I feel like you shot yourself in the foot by anything. That's how the dutch team almost won the WC in 2010.
>>69007193
I'd rather go out. Fuck any more of this shit
>>69007352
I'd maybe stick a tenner on it. Still a lot of time left.
>>69007352
I was pretty surprised, wouldnt have thought id see anything beyond 7/2
>>69007399
expecting anything*
>>69007193
>prolonguing this fucking disaster
no thanks
>>69007333
Both scenarios are equally ridiculous, I realize
>>69006508
>>69006648
>tfw when my beloved Yeovil Town (population 40,000) went to the playoff final at Wembley (capacity 90,000), it would have been possible for literally everyone to go and still be outnumbered once they arrived
Also, that North Korean stadium could accommodate every single man in Iceland. They should rent it out.
>>69006777
I thought they were going to hire Rafa after 2014.
I hate England so much
VARDY BANGED
I REPEAT
VARDY HAS BEEN BANGED
holy shit what a tackle
Heroic icemen

Not as much as England hate themselves.
GOOD GOD THOSE CHILDREN WERE HORRIFYING XD
>>69007732

Iceland isn't diverse enough. Utterly shameful
>>69007944
I think that's what he meant
>>69007893
You know you can always leave
>>69007528
I'm surprised they're the same odds as Portugal.
>>69008023
You wanna take Klinsmann off our hands?
OLE!
>Iceland actually has better chances than England
What the fuck.
>>69008083
Stop making things personal and angry. Chill out irebro
>>69007802
Was he chatting shit?
pls im scared
20 long minutes
Rooney and Kane have a competition to have the worst game of all time.
BRING LALLANA ON, PUT STURRIDGE IN THE MIDDLE YOU FUCKING CUNT, ROY HODGSON
>>69008102
I like Klinsmann only problem I have with him is he plays players out of position. But Rooney is a cm now so I guess they're used to it.
>>69007669
When I was in college, our stadium at full capacity was technically the largest city in the state
My repeating digits suggest England takes her on gay old PKs
Pic very much related

>>69008444
I don't believe you
>>69008444
FUCK NO DELET
>>69008023
But look at the statistics. We're doing well with possession and shots on goal; we just can't convert it into a win. We're playing tiki-taka and Iceland are doing a Leicester. It turns out keeping possession is really easy when the other team doesn't actually want the ball.
singles = rooney stays on, englel loses
dubs = rooney subbed and englel wins
>watching the second half of every Iceland game like pic
>>69008444
DELET THIS
>>69008023
I never got the Hodgson hype. I don't follow football, but my impression was that he was a mediocre Premier League manager and only got the job because MUH ENGLISH MANAGER.
>>69008322
Jesus. Do you live in Montana or somewhere?
>>69008444
Your meme magic doesn't stand a chance against Tsu clapping.
>>69008757
What hype?
half the population of Iceland is in the stands
>>69008617
He's just not a leader. Stats mean nothing compared to the score. After 2014 somehow getting knocked out of the group stage is suddenly acceptable. He should have gone then. This right here is the worst defeat in history.
>>69008697
This
Oh I want this game to end already
Just give them the cup and be done with it
>>69008839
they btfo'ed everybody else's support tbqh
>>69008444
Usually trips are right but I have a serious doubt on that one desu...
>meme magic has power Island
>our dubs mean nothing, we caught in the current meme magic
Iceland the new Greece?
>>69008866
I remember when he was up for selection, he was all over the media and people were saying stuff like 'HE'S THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB', 'THERE'S NO ENGLISH MANAGER AS GOOD AS HE IS', 'NOBODY ELSE CAN DO IT BUT HODGSON' and all kinds of other shit like that.
I never understood it, personally. He managed Liverpool beforehand and did extremely mediocre with them I think?
Dislike when refs bail out the defense like that. Very frustrating
>>69008757
Mediocre Roy in one word.
>I just didn't see this coming
Really? You didn't see it coming?
Butland could have prevented this.
>8 minutes for 290 euros
pls iceland bros pls do it for me
England players can barely pass the ball baka
>>69008757
He did well with Fulham, and has managed abroad, which is incredibly rare for English managers and which I still maintain is the key to >us doing well in tournaments.
>>69009314
Was going to say. But didn't want to jinx you.
>Kane
>>69009140
I don't recall the selection but as you said, given his history, hype seems misplaced. Sure England did nice it the qualification and I remember a lot /sp/ fags taking this too serious but never heard any hype for Hodson himself.
>Iceland still pushing through
I'm in tear lads
This is great
>>69009427
comfy thread is comfy
>>69009140
I think they blamed the fact that they had a foreign manager for their underperformance iirc. So woy was supposed to bring back the pride and the fight or some such shit.
>haven't even made all our subs
fucking hell im cracking up
This is an all time low right?
>>69009360
He got us our first WC qualification in a few decades. But that was a couple of decades ago itself.
>>69009625

>Rashford in the last five minutes
So the "loads of strikers" tactic that worked so well last time has been left till the 85th minute this time? Damn it, Roy.
>>69009703
Roy has subbed on a child. England are saved
