Euro footballing competition

Why can't they just line up all the teams and just see who can kick the ball into the goal-net the most times?

That is the point of the game, isn't it? It would get it all over and done with a lot quicker that way.

Maybe they could get a few of the other footballers to just stand near to the goal-net all the time and see if they can bounce the ball off their heads into tbe goal-net? I believe that's what the potato-head one does anyway?

I watched Wales Ulster and England play one game. Thats what I promised myself.

Ive no interest in watching any more Euro 2016 until the very last game.

The tournament has been  ompletely ruined by the dreadful behaviour of football gans of many nations.

If that's what football is all about. - Supporter violence without any punitive action taken by the International football association, then  I wont waste any more of my time watching it.

Looking at the draw for the knockout stages England must be kicking themselves, the way how the top half the draw has worked out and the teams in it, i can see Wales getting to the final if they continue to play how they have done, bottom half of draw cant see England going much further than beating Iceland.

Well I know we sorted out the offside rule earlier on but have I missed some change in the kick off rule? I thought the ball had to travel forward by at least on circumference to be in play which is why two forwards stood at the centre spot. But now it seems that one forward can hit a back pass almost to the penalty box and this is allowed? Or is that just OK for these "elite" players? 

Is there an advantage to kicking the ball backwards then?

I know that the English footballists do it most of the time, but I thought that the more 'winning' teams tended to kick it forward - preferably at the opposite goal net?

Or have I misunderstood?

It's one of Michel Platini's revoluionary ideas for brighting up the game.......or something like that.

Saw the English footballing captain being interviewed today......"I fink dat we'll do ok" he said.

Obviously been leaning some sort of European language it seems.

Yes Ian , I think these footyballers have some type of language that only they can understand 

Good job they are paid for thier allegedly  footballing skills then

If thats the case then they should be paid the minimum wage..
