I understand that there is some sort of competition for footballists coming up soon.

I drew the team from Germany in our sweep at CAB. Do I have any chance of winning?

As I understand it, some people have to kick a ball into a net, or something, and the one who does it the most times wins the game.

Seems a bit pointless to me, but I thought I'd give it a go. Exciting these office draws, aren't they? Certainly more interesting than kicking a ball about.

Not  too  sure  about  that  Papgeno  Undecided  There's  lots  of  Crewe  players  given  'OFFSIDE'  but  you  could  hardly  call  them  Active  Sad

I remember seeing my team playing them a number of years ago. The result was 1-1 and Crewe's goal was well offside!

I wish the ref had been a bit more "active" that afternoon

Well done to the three teams of the United Kingdom who had the skill, talent and ability (and some luck) to win through the group stages and into the last 16 of the Euro 2016 competition.

Lets hope that Scotland can qualify along with England, Wales and Northern Ireland when the next major football tournament comes around.

Well, we now who England will play in the next round....Iceland! Glad it was not Portugal who we've never beaten in a championship. Still don't know for sure who Wales & NI will play yet, tonight's matches will decide, but they could well be playing eachother.

Yes, a good job that the English team got Iceland.

As I understand it, Portugal only have one bloke in their team, but he's basically like Superman or something.

Apparantly he scores all their goals and has the strength of 11 men, bullets bounce off him and he can fly like a plane......so it's a good job that the English team didn't have to play against him. As I understand it, they only have the strength of about 3 men, plus someone with a head like a potatoe? 

Will it all be over after the next game?

What a great win for Ireland, beating Italy, to qualify for the knockout stages. They now have to play France. Wales will play N.Ireland, and England v Iceland.
