Sting said he was an Englishman in New York, so English is as good as Briton or Englanders...funny if you do leave you'll have to find yourself an official name as I am sure the SNP will fight to stay in EU and they will win it.

he can be what he wants outside. yea sure scotland and wales are either britons and care about britain as a whole or they're not, they're welsh or scots as you rightly referred. just because 2 countries want to stay more than 1 doesn't mean they should get their way, and it's the 1 countries fault who wants to leave who is to blame from breaking up this island. is it really together in any case, with plaid cymru and snp, shouldn't be any need for those parties

morata is better on the left wing/left forward than he is as an out and out forward. I honestly can't understand the logic of wenger replacing giroud with a similar striker (unless he plans to play them together or with another striker and change arsenal's ways for good), who will fit their passing philosophies- a method which has only brought them 2 fa cups. side point - (and if they hadn't won the first and webb had given suarez a late penalty for a replay, they possibly/probably wouldn't of won the 2nd fa cup either you never know, but this is how some things strangely can turn out).

I can't decide if signing morata is wenger trying to change this methods, or wenger not knowing how to improve his own passing ideals- of which would be completely ludicrous. but there is nothing wrong with giroud (even if he squandered a couple of golden chances against barce at the emirates in their CL tie which was the biggest match in their season), he's actually one of the best forwards at one touch passing in the game. as for looking at vardy, it really tells me he has no clue of how to improve or he has given up his beliefs. it's not even a forward he should be looking at if he doesn't plan to change, but I guess if the arsenal fans demand a forward then they're going to get one, it shouldn't be morata though imo

morata might score a couple of goals this euros, but spain just looked more dangerous with adruiz on before they got the winner and broke the czech resistance at last

Accept your money, what the fk are you talking about? I say things as I see it and I am not the only one, just go to any game England is playing and ask yourself why even the British, ie, Scots, Welsh, Irish are against you. Probably because of comments like yours above. English club? Which one, LFC? LFC is owned by Americans and a lot of players are not even English, I remember in the late 80s when sometimes there were no English players playing for the champions of England. PS: I am sure you do not understand the meaning of racist, so I am not even offended.

I thought Italy were superb last night, best team I've seen in the tournament so far. Rock solid defensively and always dangerous on the counter attack.

And they hardly have any so called star players...

I don't understand this, they have the best goalkeeper in the tournament despite Buffon being 38. I would also say their 3 central defenders are as good as they get, especially Chiellini who was always been one of the best defenders in Europe.

I was seriously impressed with Candreva on the right for them yesterday, he was MOTM for me.

As for Belgium, any side that chooses Fellaini over the likes of Mertens, Carrasco and Dembele deserve to go out of the tournament early. How on earth does he get in that team? He isn't a footballer and has zero ability with the ball on the floor!

Only team in the tournament to use a back 3 system aren't they? It can get better for Italy (or worse ofc), pundits saying they always had an option but I felt like that option was to go long a lot of the time, if they can just make a few more passes, and make a few of the passes out wide stick, as they don't have much territory compared to beligum they can create more chances and get at teams. Could have been 2-0 with pelle before they saw out the match and finished it off with a counter attack with pelle, most of the time they did well against the belgium attack, but lukaku could have got in twice, and one of them he'd of expected to put away if it were not for buffon charging out and making himself big. back 3 switched off a bit with crosses during the last 10 minutes, origi could have punished them.

If they go on to win the tournament with a back 3 system they will have made up for the lack of some quality in their team, as people have said this is not the greatest italian side in recent years, but a great coach and great spirit. Other teams are in the same boat as england in the respect, they don't have a completely refined system, we can believe that italy have got that, but imo, they haven't, they can play better and will possibly need to, great performance though and good match to watch.

I feel as tho Belgium are similar to ourselves. Good side. World class players here and there. But just garbage at international football.

I just hope beligum manager sticks with these fella's and doesn't ring the changes ..they have better players on the bench .

Italy are doing what italy do.. just minus the balotelli toxin -so yeah prob make the final or top 4 at least.
