It must be annoying for Southampton fans to have their team raided twice in three years of both players and management, but they always seem to bounce back from it.

I got Seth after buying some pick doublers (at which point my success rate improved greatly of course so I've got five going spare) and I'll have MITB Seth by the end of the night for good measure. Still won't be quite enough for SV++ though because my Divas are still Leg Pro and SV Fusion non pro.

It looks like I'm not going to get the Rollins WM card, purely because I can't fight the right shard until the last 3-4 picks EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Go down for the penalty dammit!

Fucking Ronaldo. I know he didn't score but any success his team has is probably because of him and that annoys me.

RTWC98 was so fantastic, but from that point onwards they ignored international football almost entirely, I guess to make people buy the standalone games. My all-time favourite EA related international thing was the Euro 2012 DLC where you started with 1 chosen player and a team of the absolute lowest players, played every country and won a random player to add to your team if you won the match. The only downfall was getting Ashley Cole when I beat England and refusing to play him despite having a 54 rated Finnish left back at that time.

If I had a dime for every shot on target in this match I would have....

0-0? At half time? In Euro 2016? No way!

I was looking into this a couple of weeks ago when I noticed they weren't in, apparently the Croatian FA (led by Davor Suker) were holding EA up for as much money as they could get for their licence, so EA gave up on them and they signed an exclusive deal with PES instead. As for why India and China are in but Ukriane and Slovakia aren't, I'd imagine it's 99% to do with regions with the most people/sales to target.

OK then... I would have thought Eric Dier was our holding midfielder, but yay squad depth etc.

So... anyone got anything on TV to watch tonight?

*Italy Reserves

We've been awful and Ireland deserve to be winning. Sirigu and Florenzi need to be removed from the squad if at all possible. The biased ITV commentary hasn't been particularly fun to listen to, Andy Townsend shouting "GET IN THERE" is just embarrassing.

Apparently the 76ers have promised Ben Simmons the #1 pick. It's a shame to see a promising career be destroyed so early on.

9 changes? Guess we're not even trying for this meaningless game.

Rio saying that facing a team like Iceland that set their stall out to defend would be more advantageous to England made me wonder if he was even aware of the Slovakia game.

ICELAND SCORE. So it's England vs. Iceland. Meanwhile Ronaldo is being a prick.

You really did. Hungary just hit the post. This may be the most exciting 20 minutes of football I've ever seen.

Go away. Just go away.

This game will not stop being entertaining. Watch Ronaldo's defending in that as well: Point. Stand still Throw hissy fit when it goes in

Same as Croatia/Czechs at the moment.

Damn these stupid minor teams with their small mentalities. Ah fuck. Stupid arsehole. Annoyingly good finish.

Apparently Ronaldo has thrown a reporter's microphone into a lake due to being questioned whilst walking with members of the Portuguese team. The despicable question asked to garner this reaction was "are you prepared for the upcoming match?" He's losing it.

Great, England will end up getting a decent draw despite finishing 2nd, we have the temerity to win our matches and our reward is Spain. Fuck that.

I'm on around 2600 contracts, I should be OK to get double Rollins or Reigns. Tempted to go with Reigns because it would be more useful for my RD team.
