It is that time once again where people kick a ball for their country in the hope they get it in a net and win a trophy.
This time it is the new format Euros, now with added teams.
There is now 24 teams instead of 16 which means more football for us YAY!!!
Seeing as this is our first chance since 2014 to do a sweepstake we have spent the last 2 years trying to perfect the format and have decided that it is only fair, as an Exilian first, to live stream the draw so you can join us in all the excitement, spills and thrills that pulling balls out of a bowl can give you.
As another first this year we are giving away actual prizes to first, second and third place.
There will also be a bonus prize for everyone if England win, so give the three lions you wholehearted support.
To enter all you have to do is have an Exilian account and post a comment on this thread, maximum participants 24 obviously.
As the week goes on I will add more details about prizes, pools and the live stream.

Albania - DrippingD

Okay. So. Er. armadilloe. I will do a redraw tonight and update it as soon as.
-
Actually Son Of a King you can either have the first prize now or i redraw the thing some other time.
-
Just redraw :) . Or don't, I don't mind missing out that much.
-
When do the games actually start happening?
-
They start on Friday 10 June. The final is on Sunday 10 July.
-
Due to some recent controversy that has struck Exilian, the state of play has changed. The draw we did on Saturday is now invalid as it would appear that I missed out a contestant. So I will be doing an emergency draw tomorrow morning to include Son of the King, further to this I have decided to change the rules slightly, instead of just 1st to 3rd getting a free PC game, each contestant gets one, but obviously 1st place gets first dibs and so on. Is this cool with everyone?
-
Aye. Will this be another live event?
-
Yeah, tomorrow morning at about 11AM

For those interested, there's a full list of the matches on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2016#Group_stage), with results once they've been played, and summaries showing the team positions in each group.

England face Iceland and of the top 5 teams going into the tournament only one can make it to the final
And Wales could reach the final!
-
I may be backing Iceland, depends how I'm feeling about England after tomorrow :P

Okay, so after an incredibly dramatic finish to the group stages for certain teams (Ireland in particular) we have now reached the knock-out stages of the tournament, we started with 24 and now have 16 therefore we lost 8 teams along the way, fortunately (or unfortunately, however you look at it), no one has escaped the group stages with 3 teams (curse you Norwich City!!!!!!!!!!), and we have some seriously juicy games lined up for you, starting with Switzerland vs Poland and finishing in an almightly clash between the smallest country in the tournament and the most English, Iceland vs England. So without further ado here is the list of casualties and the fixtures of the next round:
