It was the match of the tournament for me 

Georgia played with passion, commitment, and they were well schooled at the back. 

They ran for everything, they never stopped running. And the skill level was up there.

They just wanted to win & wouldn't be beaten.

England should watch the video of the match, they may learn something from the Worlds 72nd ranked Country.

I can't quite believe how England are now on the side of the draw that doesn't include Spain, France, Germany and Portugal. It's an amazing chance to get to the final but sadly given our group performances I'm not confident!

[Robbie]

@menzinho absolutely agree. If England can't be motivated by this very lucky draw, they can't get motivated over anything.

So far it's been a good tournament.

VAR has proven during this tournament so far that it does have a place in the game. It's been quick and efficient and fans have been kept in the loop as to what's going on. The only exception with this was, shockingly, when English referees were involved in the game between France and Netherlands. The only time in which VAR took an age to come to a decision, a decision that I still feel was wrong, and disallow Xavi Simons goal.

Shock of the group stage has got to be Georgia beating Portugal. 

The only 2 teams that have impressed me throughout the group stage has been Spain and Austria. Spain have got to be deemed favourites now and Austria the dark horses.

France and England, both the favourites going in to the tournament, haven't backed up that favourites tag. 

I still feel like they need to abolish the whole best 3rd place teams go through. A few of the final group games were a bit of a bore because teams didn't want to risk anything, sat back and played for the draw as that was all that's needed to finish 3rd. It takes away the jeopardy. UEFA should have either kept it at 16 teams or made it 32 like the World Cup.
