Wasn't expecting much from these two. Hats off to Ukraine.

This has got to be the slowest and most disappointing game of the tourney so far.

Well, if we’re sucking against a team that sucks, and you can’t qualify for a tournament where teams suck against each other, what does that say about you?

Seriously, I never said we were going to do anything amazing in this tournament. We qualified in the last half of the last game in a group of JAGs. That being said, something is starting to jell. As crazy as it sounds, compared to the sh*t we had to watch in qualifiers, we played pretty well last night. Historically we never play well against teams like England last night who came not to lose, with 10 guys back at all times. We’re not Spain or Germany who’ll still score 3 goals on you.

Clearly our Achilles. I’ve never been a Mexes fan, and Rami is a clone. We do have 2 bright prospects: Varane (Real) and Sakho (PSG). If things fall into place, we should be set for the next 10 years.

The last time someone overestimated France's fighting spirit like this was all of the Western Allies around 193.... ahh, you get the point.

At least we were fighting on the right side.

Got tired of the same old, same old.

Should be fun. I should start my new job in July and get 2 weeks in August. France does have it's perks.

Oh, we're in recession with booming unemployment.

Doesn't mean there aren't opportunities.

If I didn't forget to pick the Greece game from two days ago I could be in first right now.

To be fair, you'd be tied, no?

When it comes to picking soccer matches, yes apparently.

This is less about anyone sucking and more about me trying to reconcile FF2's freakish ability to pick the soccer matches.

If his 1-0 Spain over Ireland prediction is on today then I'm calling for an investigation. FF2 could very well end up being the Lance Armstrong of JI Euro pick'em.
