- Eric Dier: England’s midfield mainstay with a foreign footballing brain I like this guy, I do. To think that if he'd been cap tied for Portugal, he'd have been a Euro 2016 winner! But his granddad was the chairman of the FA in the troubled 1980s and in constant opposition to Margaret Thatcher with the attitude towards football supporters at the time (to be fair there was a lot of trouble then). So he does have deep ties to the English game although Portugal is his home (I know a LOT of English people like this, tbh. One I know is making arrangements to return to Portugal as we speak). I think we might need a tag for Eric Dier, tbh. He speaks well, and I can see the FA pushing him forward
Featured Matches
Wales 1- 1 Serbia
This bloody match
For real, this match was bloody. Remind me, doesn't Tadic play for Southampton?
Bale (not pictured) scored a goal in the first half of the game, and Wales held on until the last minute. Literally
Mitrovic is crazier than a sh*t house rat, but he's ON FORM at the moment. I half expected Wales to win this match, but the way Mitrovic was playing, I cashed out my bet. He's really come on under Rafa
Excitement!
Austria 0- 1 Ireland
Happy to see the home nations doing well! They seem to have a confidence and a plan! *side eyes England*

OP: Done! I am laid low by sinuses, please send good vibes. Back in the day, I'd mainline on medication and liquour but- I can't do that anymore. So I'm just going to have a sulk. Oh, cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback, you know the drill!
PS: Big up to the mod for cleaning up the tags! They are so much easier to deal with now! Thank you again!
