Wednesday evening treats Fantasy managers to four more Euro 2016 fixtures before the curtain comes down on the group stages.

First up at 5pm, all four teams in Group F have a chance of progressing to the final 16.

With a single goal from 49 attempts, profligate Portugal have done little to justify their place as pre-tournament favourites to top the group but know that a win against Hungary will be enough to earn them at least a runners-up spot.

Iceland and Austria do battle in the other fixture. Like Portugal, the latter arrived as one of the dark horses for the tournament but have been a major disappointment and failed to score in their opening two fixtures, managing just four efforts on target. Iceland, meanwhile, have registered just 12 attempts on goal thus far – a tally superior only to Sweden’s 11.

Given that the second-placed team in Group F will face England in the next round, the Three Lions will be keeping a keen eye on the results here.

Indeed, considering that the Group F winners square up the runners-up in Group E – which look likely to be Belgium – topping the table could prove a less appealing route into the knockout stages.

        Hungary first and Belgium second would mean that we don't face Italy, Spain, France, Germany, England or Portugal until the final lol 😀

                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  As it stands yes, but I'm wrong about Hungary Slovakia, Hungary would play runner up in Ireland group, probably Belgium

                Ronaldo for Portugal

                129 free kicks - 4 goals

                5 penalties - 1 goal

                How has he now been dropped such a negative on the team

                1. Ayew Serious
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Dropped from set pieces I hope you mean

                  1. Syd.
                    • 16 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    Just dropped full stop

                    Team would be better for it as he has such a negative impact on his team mates and morale

                    1. Ayew Serious
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      No. Just no

                  ....and massive underachievers over the last 8 - 10 years, I think I see the connection 😉

                  1. Syd.
                    • 16 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    He expects everything to go through him which stops the rest of the team from getting a chance to show how good they could be

                  • 15 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  He'd throw a strop if he was taken off pens/set pieces.

                  1. Ayew Serious
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    He throws strops anyways.

                What a useless footballer Nani is, head the ball out properly you gimp!

                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    He could have blocked the goal too, turned his back and jumped out the way

                  Is there an established Ronaldo drinking game?

                  1. Ayew Serious
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    - take a shot everytime we see a close up of ronaldo

                    - take a shot everytime cristiano attempts to score but doesn't succeed

                    - take a shot minus a lime everytime we see CR7's (XD) hot, frustrational moment

                    - take a triple shot every time he scores

                  2. Hooky
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    If you get to throw the bottle at him after you've finished I'd be up for playing that!

                    • 12 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    In Portugal they drown a shot whenever he wastes a one on field. They're all hammered when the match is over.
