"Matchday 2" is done! Again obv not just one day etc but yep yep here's the latest analysis!
Danny/Finland vs RuthOnToast/Russia opened the latest round on Wednesday, neither team are very strong favourites for the competition but Russia edged it by one goal to nil.
Ekelektra's Turks were once again unable to put on a show, losing out 2-0 to Samantha's Welshies even though Gareth Bale missed the first in-game penalty at the Euros for 21 years.
Italy under Chipmunks came out strong for their 2nd fixture, another 3-0 victory and this time against Shannon's Swiss army - this younger Italian side is showing promise!
RichBoiSam marched his Ukrainians out to face Triz's North Macedonian forces, and in one of the most exciting games yet we saw Macedonia brave but again unable to command the match: 2-1 Ukraine.
There was a cute moment at the 10 minute point in the welshcake/Belgium vs LUCPIX/Denmark game, all players pausing to pay respects to Christian Eriksen. Unfortunately the Danes without their main man lost out 2-1 to some smooth Belgian chocolate magic.
Conor and the Netherlands put on a marvellous display against Oivind's Austrians, winning a comfortable 2-0 in their bright orange jerseys on the night.
Its.Dino for Sweden took on hola. for Slovakia... in Russia, because why not. This was one to take a nap to for the most part, a single penalty dividing the teams: 1-0 to Sweden.
Kelky/Croatia and tbl/Czech Republic are two very very similar teams - so similar on the night in fact that it ended 1-1 in a game that will only be remembered by those who put a lot of money on it being a boring draw.
If you thought the last game was boring, prepare yourselves for the snoozefest of Chloelou/England vs NattyNatNat/Scotland. Hyped up in the media and touted as a "derby" grudge match... then 3 shots on target the entire game, no goals. Awful performance from the English, and the Scots are glad of a point.
Unbelievably, jamiexo's Hungary took the lead against world champions and tournament favourites France under katejw62, who had a real task bringing it back level. 1-1 in the end, and what a fight it was for that result.
GERMANY HAS ARRIVED. lucyecc must have given them a stern talking to after their last game because my lord what a performance, getting 4 goals in 25 minutes after going behind to lawrawrrr's Portuguese champions from 2016. 4-2 the end result, and a pleasure to watch, especially after the disappointment of the day before.
The-Dream07's Spanish circus came to town against a Poland team under mardytar, for whom defeat would mean definitely going out of the tournament. A hugely physical battle resulted in 6 yellow cards and one goal apiece - the group is literally anyone's for the taking now.
Been out today soz so the first 2 games of this final gameweek of the group stage have already been played, but stay tuned as Wednesday night we'll know allllll the results and can see who will go through to the knockout stages!
