Go Iceland!

Rooting for Wales, Iceland and Italy in that order.

Don't rate Wales and Iceland's chances too highly, but I think the Italians have a good shout!

What I would recommend is calling the thread UEFA Euro 2016 Quarter Finals for now, then renaming it when we reach the Semis, and then the final.

Having Jamie Vardy aka the best striker in the world, england will win for sure. However, they will receive a different type of trophy. The biggest loser trophy. Good enough. At least it is a trophy.

kidding aside england does need to stop wasting roster spots on career lower division strikers. i dont think even iceland has players that spent majority of their careers playing third-forth divisions. then again maybe that's why they won yesterday.

20. England - 4.7%

Petr Cech has now conceded more goals at European Championship Finals (21) than any other goalkeeper in football history. Almost quarter of them came against Turkey.

If only Turkey were allowed to play all their games against C(z)ech Republic right?

I might be the only guy on this board pulling for Portugal. Iceland is a close second though.

Go Belgium! of course.
There are reports of 300k people going to Lille on Friday.
I'll be there as well! Looking forward to it.

What do the English people here think about the video of Wales celebrating Iceland winning against England?
