Finland deserve nothing today - look at that break from Belgium then, one minute left and Finland still have four men in their own half

They could have gotten something out of this mediocre Russian side

Yeah, Belgium was an expected defeat, but even then they’re defensively suspect and the Finns have never really got at them

Look at Scotland. They’re the weakest side in their group but they’ve tried every time and it’s almost bore fruit

Can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket as they say

"bore fruit" is how the Friday headlines on the england-scotland game should have read

Even Scotland have significantly more talent than the Finns do, and playing England in a rivalry adds a bit more to their tanks. I actually expect they’ll do Croatia tomorrow and advance.

Fair point on Russia being equally crap though. Maybe the could’ve approached that one differently, even if they were playing in Russia.
 

We're out. Didn't shame us though. Hodgson had more talent in his teams; Litmanen, Hyypiä (yeah yeah), Tihinen, Niemi/Jääskeläinen... Never made it this far.

I'm ready to take Bobby M. back, with his current coaching staff.

Been a weird group this. Thanks for being the good people i've always known finns to be when [Poor language removed] went down in Copenhagen.

It wouldn't be the craziest thing for Denmark to end up in a semifinal.

its not a difficult run. Wales and then prob Netherlands. Bobby has got a deathmatch w/ Italy on the horizon in the QTs.

Wish it was a 12 team knockout. Reward the 4 teams who finished w/ 7 to 9pts w/ a bye.

IMO he's a good manager w/ very good teams (you have DeBryune do you really need to practice corners?) or bad ones where you could stomach that 6 match losing streak becuase for a month you'll get hot, score goals and probably stay up. We are neither.
 
Bobby stays with Belgium. Lucky , lucky git .
Possibly one of the best jobs in international football. All those superb players with no real history to use as a stick to beat you with .
Lucky sod .
