Tempting as it is to believe that France and Germany were always going to end up in one semi-final if they won their groups as expected. The other semi would still have been Portugal if they'd won the group as expected so it's really only Wales that represented the fly in the ointment on that side of the draw.

Spain, England and Portugal were all supposedly the favorites in their respective groups.
Both England and Spain would have ended up in the other half of the table if they would have been the group winner. For Portugal it didn't really matter, as they'd have gone into that half of the table anyways.
I'd say if all of the favorites would have lived up to the expectations the table would have been quite balanced.

It may be that never was spent so much money for such a crap...
And they probably only scored two goals to get those four draws and two wins

Think yourself lucky. It was possible to win the whole thing with 7 draws. The 24 team tournaments in the World Cup were disastrous but never let it be said that UEFA lets cold, hard experience get in the way!
There were only 53 teams entered in the first place but it took 266 games to whittle that down to just below half. Then it took another 36 games to get rid of just another 8 before sanity in the form of actual knockout games took over. Hardly the stuff of dreams!

The few bit of the game in the trailer make it look like it's fundamentally a side-scroller. I didn't think anyone made them, any more.

Yeah, this introduction left the viewer wondering what the game play is like!

Surprisingly there are a bunch of them. Mostly by independent developers... I had the luck to play a fairly well made one, a cyberpunk side-scrolling RPG.
It's NOT worth its retail price (20€) but I found it discoutned and DRM-Free on GOG and for 5€ it was enjoyable. Very immersive if a bit short.

Indeed. I'm a big fan of Broforce, on Steam.

If so what for?
Pros?
Cons?

I agree. One should definitely stop and check it out. The community is large and growing, the support is great, and the language makes tasks that are difficult in other languages a breeze.
One important place where Go fits very well is as a Node.js replacement.

I am curious too!
But since I use Xamarin at work and at home I am interested in GUI Desktop application, Go hold little practical interest for me..

Programming on the go is not a good practice whether you are driving or using public transport. Try doing it in office instead.

In either case:
Johnny be good!

If you (a programmer) are discussing pros and cons, then that means the decision is not up to you anyway
