Common to see weaker teams playing ugly to get a point if they can't spring an upset.
Poland, Iceland, Rep. of Ireland, Northern Ireland are doing that against strong opponents.
fortune favors the brave. they should play to win. rather lose 7-0 than win ugly 1-0.

Mexico and Albania would both beg to differ.
There are locals pundits who actually believe that 0 - 0 scoreline is kelong.Now trending
This scoreline is only kelong if it suits both teams equally to draw the game. England obviously wanted to beat Slovakia to qualify top of the group, hence it is not kelong.
In the group stage table rankings, Croatia looks down on Spain and Wales looks down on England
This is an excellent outcome.
3 qualify from 4 is not a bad idea. more games, more revenues. and every team gets a decent shot at the next round. even the likes of Albania.
It's not exactly 3 qualify from 4, only the 4 best 3rd placed finishers will qualify for the last 16, i.e. the top 2 from the 6 groups + the 4 best 3rd placed finishers = 16.
Anyone watching Hungary vs Portugal?
Currently 3-3! This is the game of the tournament!

McGovern was simply brilliant against Germany. Hard to believe he is now a free agent. I'm sure they be no shortage of European clubs interested in him after the tournament.
The cocky English breathed a sign a relief when they avoided Portugal but I somehow feel Iceland could still do one over on them.
No point having so much possession when you can't finish off with scoring. Iceland certainly worth a punt I'd say.
