That should liven it up a bit!
PS - congrats to RoI ger - as you say not much chance against France but then England have to play mighty Iceland!

82nd airborne division motto is 'All American' and they have a badge with the two letters 'AA' and 101st airborne divion are called the screaming eagles.
Every good US guy knows that and every good Belgian remembers that the 101st fought like hell in Bastogne repulsing the last offensive from Hitler on our soil.
My Dad fought there and was awarded a silver star, we retraced his steps, how they did it with all those German Panzer's in the woods is beyond me. He said it was no biggie, he had a tommy gun and had to stay behind to get his guys out. He almost lost his leg in the process. He became a paratrooper because they paid 50 more a month. He received random letters from people in Belgian till he was well into his 80's thanking him.

Macross, that is hilarious - share with my friends and family
Thanks Ann. Dublin is pulling down the shutters for the game tomorrow. The GAA (Irish Football) even rescheduled a game that was supposed to kick off at the same time.
This is a grudge game - Thierry Henry and his hand-ball stunt meant Ireland did not go through to the last world cup.
If a miracle should happen, I'm honestly not sure if the nation can deal with it
OK guys - another video on the Irish fans:

>> Perhaps Germany are “peaking at the right time”.After Croatia against Spain, Italy against Belgium and England against Russia, this is the most impressive performance of the competition so far.

Having just watched Germany I think I may have watched the championship winners. OK Slovakia weren't at the same level it's true, but Germany were still impressive.
The winner of Spain/Italy will have to really be on form in the next round. Could be a great game if they are.
Now to find out who Wales face next.
