“Ireland will be our most difficult game” – Belgium, Sweden and Italy fans react to Euro 2016 group

They're sh*tting themselves

Conan Doherty

The Italians are scared.

The Swedes want to sack their manager.

Some Belgians are confident – for whatever reason. Some of them are apprehensive.

There might not be a classic group of death in Euro 2016 but Ireland’s Group E draw definitely ranks as the group of ill-health. Four teams with the shortest range of talent between them makes for interesting reading and our rivals around Europe – in Italy, Sweden and Belgium – are shaking in their boots.

Some of them are dancing but they’ll soon meet Jon Walters.

The Swedes are packing up already.

Roughly translates as: Belgium, Italy, Ireland ….. is obviously zero points. Another coach, then we would have had the chance

No faith in Sweden manager, Erik Hamrén.

Roughly translates as: Belgium, Italy, Ireland. Good night and good luck, Erik.

Jon Walters and Erik Hamrén – a worrying combination in Scandinavia.

Sometimes, an emoji says it all.

Roughly translates as: We’re f*cked.

Okay, it’s all to play for.

Roughly translates as: Belgium, Ireland and Italy. Could of course have been easier. But still not impossible if all performing simultaneously.

You’ll TAKE us?

Roughly translates as: Belgium, Italy and Ireland that is. Think it’s an ok lot. Ireland and Belgium, we take. Italy might be tricky.

For God’s sake, someone think of the Horans.

Now the Belgians are taking the piss out of the Swedes.

Roughly translates as: Belgium, Italy, Zlatan … uh … No, Sweden, Ireland. Interesting group . Difficult. The Devils will have to play well to qualify!

That’s right… tough.

Roughly translates as: Group E is tough for Belgium with Italy, Ireland and Sweden.

Tinpot?

The Italians fear our history with them.

Roughly translates as: Given the track record, our most difficult game will be against Ireland.

The Italians are now just becoming whiners.

Roughly translates as: Belgium, Sweden, Ireland. It’s not fair that we have always get the most difficult group.

LOL
