Yes, I saw it. Maybe I am too spoiled by watching Barcelona every week, but the fact that so little goals are scored is true.

Passive, but defensively very good. It's hard to play differently against Spain. |

I've to say that also Switzerland-Albania and France-Romania were pretty entertaining matches in my opinion. |

Wales vs Slovakia was quite entertaining I thought. Momentum kept swinging from one team to another. Ben Davies's early clearance from Hamsik was hugely important.

After what I've seen so far... (not too much but still), not a lot of top teams have got their defence in order.
I think this will be a very open EC. Don't see any major favorites dominating at the moment |

Sweden is so bad. A bunch of amateur also Zlatan one of the world 's best player 10 year in a row. They came only with, because Zlatan alone beat DK. |

Not true. If anything, Zlatan occasionally brings them down.

wat
Zlatan is the best Swedish footballer of all time. Not only as a player for various clubs in Europe, but also as a player for his national team. Zlatan has scored 62 goals for the Swedish national team, more than anyone else.
He scored 11 of Sweden's 21 goals in the qualifying round of this tournament. Only Lewandowski scored more goals for his team.
Sweden would not play the European Championships without Zlatan.

I love Zlatan to bits. Seriously. But, as brilliant as he is at pulling the team along in his slipstream, even when he's having a bad day, scoring ridiculous goals and inflating his ego exponentially the hero worship of Zlatan as a god can also translate to attacking players such as Elmander, Berg, Durmaz and Toivonen neutering their own impact in order to follow Hamren's donkey tactics- pass it about a bit, then give it to Zlatan.
Therefore when Zlatan isn't playing, Sweden struggle.
Hamren's consistent refusal to integrate any of the U21 players, least of all Guidetti and Hiljemark, definitely doesn't help either. The team has definitely devolved under his leadership.

All the games have been excellent so far- not every team has Rayo Vallecano and Getafe to thump every week.
I felt a bit let down by Vrba- considering the way the Czechs played in qualifying, using possesion-based tactics to outwit Iceland, Turkey and Holland, he dropped the ball. Darida missed a sitter though.

Ireland will be disappointed with a draw especially as it was an own goal  |

Feel very bad for Ireland. Really hope they can survive the group stage and surprise a few people! |

Won't be easy, for sure. But nothing is impossible. |

Also Wilmots continuing to make bad decisions. Oh man, somebody fire this guy, fast!
Carrasco, Mertens? Anyone?  Not saying he definitely needs to put these guys on but Wilmots is a disaster, tactically. |
