Hard to say who I'm rooting for in the Denmark vs. Ireland one.

It'd be nice to see Ireland qualify, but Eriksen has been a monster for Denmark in this qualifying campaign. At least one of them will be in the tournament.

Croatia is looking very good...

Is it Croatia or a poor performance by Greece in the first half? Can't tell anymore lol

Greece not being defensive, thats a mistake.
Defense first, then maybe an open chance at goal later.
but they were possessing well, got some confidence, and taking some half chances, and it opened them up.

keeper has been bad also

Should have watched that match. Northern Ireland vs. the Swiss has been poor.

Damn....did not see this coming.
Games like this make me even angrier at our guys. Why the hell are we in a situation to play in the playoffs. We needed just 1 win in 3-4 games against inferior competition in the groups and we **** that up.

Italia cannot score to save their lives.

Chiellini got lucky there. Clearly his second yellow.

Still, Italy in full control. Just need to score.

That was great fight from both teams. Unlucky for Italy.

Some epic Swedish bus parking.
