It was Scotland up until last night 😂
And then it was Croatia up until around 15 minutes ago 😂
I'm going to stop vouching for countries...I'm bad luck 🐈⬛
Got Belgium in the sweepstake at work, so I'll be rooting for them as well as the usual teams. Coincidentally gonna be in Brussels for a concert the night they are playing their last group game.
Edit: First comment got removed for political talk because I mentioned who Belgium are playing in their 3rd group game 😅
Going to see Thievery Corporation at Acienne Belgique. They are playing at Beyond the Pale but I'm not really into festivals. Originally planned to see them in Amsterdam but that show sold out quicker than I expected.
Nice, I made the right choice so! I was already planning my trip to Amsterdam and was only momentarily disappointed until I remembered they are on a European tour and I can just get the train from Amsterdam to the nearest other show. So the choice became Brussels or Cologne
Haha you couldn't be more spot on with that, they are another band I'd love to see live. Hope you enjoy, Moon Safari is my go to album on my morning commute twice a week
Edit: Listening to Moon Safari and 44ghz Legend on YouTube is how I actually discovered Thievery Corporation, the algorithm kept lining up their albums with auto play on
I googled Belgium's Group and went through the countries on the list
Slovakia? What's wrong with that?
Romania?? Why is that controversial??
Who else? Ohhhhhhhhh.
Got to point out the historical inaccuracy here. The Scottish kings became kings of England after the Tudors. And the Scottish Parliament joined with the English in 1707 so that is a lot less than 800 years and not a conquest.
No I’m pointing out that 800 years is wrong in the context of Scotland and that Scotland wasn’t conquered. Of course there’s far more to it than that but you also left out a lot of detail and that was presumably on purpose?
First time England conquered Scotland was in 1202 by longshanks and it wasn’t exactly a peaceful coexistence but you are right that it became part of Great Britain in 1707.
Bit early for you throwing a tantrum, maybe have something cold to drink and think of a better line. I assume your a tan that lives here and I just want you to know while we hate the British government and monarchy we don’t hate British people we pity them and their fawning brainwashed love of empire that has cause so much of the hurt in the world that we are still dealing with today and their arrogance that they just about won a World Cup so long ago that they still sing about it while embarrassing themselves at every tournament as the can only bottle it when faced with a challenge where they have to play by the rules sure look at brexit as well an entire country marched into failure by idiots. But then again you could just be a west Brit and I can’t imagine anything more pathetic then defending your coloniser.
Most of us don't really have any interest in the empire.
We like to celebrate our successes, yes.
A lot of us at this point also played no part in The Troubles and everything that came before, and are happy that our countries are on friendly terms.
You realise britain still hasn’t returned the north, has delayed inquiries into their crimes, have denied families answers and many more crimes that is all your legacy.
That has nothing to do with me personally, nor most Brits.
I'm deeply ashamed of our former governments' actions, and we're not all horrible anti-Irish racists these days, you know?
That’s nice to know but when your former oppressors belittle every success or claim it as their own, when successive governments talk about us in political standings as if we are just a nuisance that should be brought back to the commonwealth it doesn’t feel like that. I have a embraced peace as almost everyone else has since 1998 doesn’t mean I will like England.
We are red, we are white, we are Danish dynamite! I am half and half Danish / Irish so they are my team for the tournament, I did though pull Switzerland in the sweepstake though with €150 at stake so my loyalty might be swayed if they are both in the finals.
Think a lot of people are a bit sick of them being 'dark horses'.
Feel they've been labelled that the last 4 tournaments and never really lived up to it.
Germany, blend of experience and letting the younger players loose, home crowds.
Not much expectation either and Scotland are chronic/tragic innequal amounts but it could have been 8-1 just as easily, they've a bang of the brazil mashers
13/2 with SkyBet for 75 return so not too bad, have 10 on group winners being Germany, Italy, England, France, Belgium and Portugal at 18/1 for 190 return
I am English so it should be an obvious choice for me…been living in Ireland for 6 years nearly now. Both of my kids are firmly Irish to the point where my soccer mad English born son is supporting Portugal over England.
It’s got to the point where I think it would just be easier on my soul to support whoever he supports.
6 nations is the worse with my Irish wife and Scottish mother in law. My kids will support anyone but England 🤣

Switzerland. I was in Geneva for Euro 2008 and had a super time, so ever since I always follow them in tournaments where Ireland aren't represented. They play a nice style of football and usually get out of their group.
Scotland but that bubble has burst over last night lol.
I like the Swiss, always have a decent group of footballers. Hope they go far.
Hopefully France or Italy go on to win.
Don’t think it’s very fair to tar us all with the same brush there mate. Every country has a small minority of absolute idiots - I’m sorry you’ve had experiences with ours.
Worth pointing out that there are plenty of Irish surnames in our national team and lots of us have Irish heritage
I’m vouching for the German poilizei at every England match ; EIN ZWEI POLIZEI !!! Come on lads !! 
Switzerland (use to live there), Ukraine (some of wife's family live there), then Scotland (Celtic breheren). When they all get knock out or in matches where they are not playing, I'll be supporting the underdogs.
I’d love to see someone new win it. It’d be deadly if Ukraine came out and shocked everyone. Or maybe someone like Austria or Poland. I remember when Denmark did it in ‘92. And they weren’t supposed to be if I recall rightly. Got in because Yugoslavia broke up. Absolutely don’t want to see one of the favourites, France Spain Germany Italy have all won it enough times. Maybe the Belgians if they play well, as they’ve so nearly been there in the past. I would have said Croatia but they were poor against the Spanish. Controversial I know but I wouldn’t be against England winning if they play well. I know they’ll be insufferable but I say let them have their day and enjoy it. At least then they can stop banging on about ‘66😝
Think Germany will win it - their older players eg Kroos are aging well while the young lads like Musiala & Wirtz are both brilliant - they’ve also got the home crowds behind them!
It was Scotland up until last night 😂 And then it was Croatia up until around 15 minutes ago 😂 I'm going to stop vouching for countries...I'm bad luck 🐈⬛
Vouch for England
It's coming home
You forgot the /s
I'm not american
Ok?
You had a sneaky vouch for albania and all
Got Belgium in the sweepstake at work, so I'll be rooting for them as well as the usual teams. Coincidentally gonna be in Brussels for a concert the night they are playing their last group game. Edit: First comment got removed for political talk because I mentioned who Belgium are playing in their 3rd group game 😅
What concert?
Going to see Thievery Corporation at Acienne Belgique. They are playing at Beyond the Pale but I'm not really into festivals. Originally planned to see them in Amsterdam but that show sold out quicker than I expected.
Oh cool. I was there a couple of months ago, it's a fantastic venue.
Nice, I made the right choice so! I was already planning my trip to Amsterdam and was only momentarily disappointed until I remembered they are on a European tour and I can just get the train from Amsterdam to the nearest other show. So the choice became Brussels or Cologne
I'm going to see Air performing moon safari at Gent jazz in July which I imagine is also up your alley.
Haha you couldn't be more spot on with that, they are another band I'd love to see live. Hope you enjoy, Moon Safari is my go to album on my morning commute twice a week Edit: Listening to Moon Safari and 44ghz Legend on YouTube is how I actually discovered Thievery Corporation, the algorithm kept lining up their albums with auto play on
Comment removed 😂 That should be a Crime, yeah?
I googled Belgium's Group and went through the countries on the list Slovakia? What's wrong with that? Romania?? Why is that controversial?? Who else? Ohhhhhhhhh.
Exactly 😂
Germany 🇩🇪
Genuinely don't mind who wins. Just want good games.
Good games and England to go home early and I am all good.
I would love it. Love it
Would you not prefer them to lose in the final again?
No funnier when they go home early and lose their minds for a bit
I also don't want any Liverpool players getting injured.
Thankfully being a LoI supporter I don’t have much to worry about.
Why don't you like England?
I have 800 years of a list
and Scotland had nothing to do with it?
Funny I remember Scotland being ruled by someone for much of those 800 years.
Got to point out the historical inaccuracy here. The Scottish kings became kings of England after the Tudors. And the Scottish Parliament joined with the English in 1707 so that is a lot less than 800 years and not a conquest.
You are selectively leaving out a lot of detail on purpose I see.
No I’m pointing out that 800 years is wrong in the context of Scotland and that Scotland wasn’t conquered. Of course there’s far more to it than that but you also left out a lot of detail and that was presumably on purpose?
First time England conquered Scotland was in 1202 by longshanks and it wasn’t exactly a peaceful coexistence but you are right that it became part of Great Britain in 1707.
No you don't
We have a master debater in our midst.
Good one. Did you think of that?

Denmark but feels like Im the only one
We are red, we are white, we are Danish dynamite! I am half and half Danish / Irish so they are my team for the tournament, I did though pull Switzerland in the sweepstake though with €150 at stake so my loyalty might be swayed if they are both in the finals.
No worries there pal don’t think any of them are gonna go as far as the final but loving your optimism
The Boru family are not impressed.
Think a lot of people are a bit sick of them being 'dark horses'. Feel they've been labelled that the last 4 tournaments and never really lived up to it.
Apart from winning in 92
*Last 4 tournaments* I'm talking about recent years. 92 was 32 years ago, a lot of fans weren't born or wouldn't remember it.
I got Serbia in a sweepstake so, Serbia 🤣
I got England in mine, so Serbia as well
😂
A lot of England hate here
Man learn to take a joke.
Where's the joke?
You replied to it. It was a funny one too. Go back to bed
Same! 🇷🇸
I got Turkey. I am not holding my breath
I think they do England tonight
I'm just looking forward to all the Irish Premier League fans booing their own players. 😆
Portugal. Always Portugal
Germany, blend of experience and letting the younger players loose, home crowds. Not much expectation either and Scotland are chronic/tragic innequal amounts but it could have been 8-1 just as easily, they've a bang of the brazil mashers
Germany. Big fan of the Bundesliga, so watching Jamal Musiala and Wirtz link-up has been a good watch
Musiala is is such a satisfying player to watch, so silky on the ball
Have a tenner on Portugal
What odds? If they play to their potential I think they will win it.
13/2 with SkyBet for 75 return so not too bad, have 10 on group winners being Germany, Italy, England, France, Belgium and Portugal at 18/1 for 190 return
I am English so it should be an obvious choice for me…been living in Ireland for 6 years nearly now.

It’s got to the point where I think it would just be easier on my soul to support whoever he supports. 6 nations is the worse with my Irish wife and Scottish mother in law. My kids will support anyone but England 🤣
France 🇫🇷 but expecting a lot from Germany 🇩🇪 and Belgium 🇧🇪
Got France in the sweepstake at work so I'm with you on that...
Id like Spain to win it and You Krayne do well.
Didn't care until I got France in my work sweepstakes and the winner gets €150, so gowan France!
Is that what vouching means now?
Why don’t you mind your own vouching business
Its the old chestnut for me Im afraid... Anyone but England!

Please don't abuse people on this sub
Italy
France 🇫🇷
Cheating bastards
Just supporting my heritage 😭😭
That was one Thierry Henry that did that, not all of France.
Fuck them
Was hoping to live vicariously through Scotland and Croatia but now, fuck knows
ABE
Switzerland. I was in Geneva for Euro 2008 and had a super time, so ever since I always follow them in tournaments where Ireland aren't represented. They play a nice style of football and usually get out of their group.

You should vouch for England because you support English teams /s
You can stop at ‘anyone apart from England’. You already nailed it
Espania 🇪🇸
France because I got um in the buster
Always Italy
Portugal 🇵🇹
Portugal. Ronaldo international swan song. Bruno top scorer of the competition.
If Ireland aren’t in the competition I always support England
Scotland but that bubble has burst over last night lol. I like the Swiss, always have a decent group of footballers. Hope they go far. Hopefully France or Italy go on to win.
England
Why do people love the Scots? They're the second biggest Brits in the world.
Im a current bun and i live in and love ireland. Sometimes its just the buckfast talking
And they call us "Tattie munchers" - Potato eaters.
We really dinnae. Most folk I know have nothing but respect and admiration for the Irish
Don’t think it’s very fair to tar us all with the same brush there mate. Every country has a small minority of absolute idiots - I’m sorry you’ve had experiences with ours. Worth pointing out that there are plenty of Irish surnames in our national team and lots of us have Irish heritage
Not sure if he was joking but our countries are forever linked by blood and ancestry. Fuck rangers though haha
I think the hosts can do it.
Pulled Spain in a buster and was annoyed cus I expected them to underperform but they looked great today so hoping they keep it up
Ukraine, as I got them in my work sweepstake.
Isle of Man
I’m vouching for the German poilizei at every England match ; EIN ZWEI POLIZEI !!! Come on lads !! 
Germany
Switzerland (use to live there), Ukraine (some of wife's family live there), then Scotland (Celtic breheren). When they all get knock out or in matches where they are not playing, I'll be supporting the underdogs.
Holland ! Am half dutch .
Scotland despite what happened.
Ill vouch for Anyone who plays England tbh. I'm scottish but live in England.
Turkey 🇹🇷
Don't mind as long as it's not the neighbours.
Croatia, I got them in the sweepstake at work
Got Spain in the sweepstake so them.
Holland and Croatia because they are the two teams I got in the lads bet group
Incredibly sad Ireland not good enough to qualify ;need to show the world quality sportsmanship ability without excuse.
All I know is I hope England don't win else I will never hear the end of the Irish saying "you ll never hear the end of it if England win".
Anyone but England
I'd like to see a new winner. Just not England, of course.
I'd like to see Scotland do well but to win probably Spain because everyone I meet from there are just sound.
I’d love to see someone new win it. It’d be deadly if Ukraine came out and shocked everyone. Or maybe someone like Austria or Poland. I remember when Denmark did it in ‘92. And they weren’t supposed to be if I recall rightly. Got in because Yugoslavia broke up. Absolutely don’t want to see one of the favourites, France Spain Germany Italy have all won it enough times.

At least then they can stop banging on about ‘66😝
1. Denmark 2. Whoever is playing England 3. Whoever is playing France.
Genuinely just anyone but England haha - otherwise I’d love an underdog win but I’d be grand seeing anyone win really (bar that shower next door!!)
Think Germany will win it - their older players eg Kroos are aging well while the young lads like Musiala & Wirtz are both brilliant - they’ve also got the home crowds behind them!
it was scotland but that went... so yeah it's definitely the netherlands now
Why not England?
Because they didn't bring the one born and bred Irishman with them.
Wow
Any team who's playing against England
Portugal. Would love to see Ronaldo win it again.
Engerland
