Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

Croatia otoh plenty of quality crossing but wasted so far

Oh my word luka

ooooh luka

Modric <333

God. Just the greatest little player.

Well that woke me up

hmm keeper poor on replay, still luka is lovely

Disagree. The dip and pace on that gave him another dimension to worry about.

think modric is the most obviously fantastic player whom i resisted recognising said fantasticness for the longest time.

lot of shit keeping so far

don't even have a dodgy ball to blame either

don't think i rated him till his last season at spurs iirc, shamefully belated on my part.
xp

Don't think this was shit keeping. It was an unexpected strike and fast as a cannonball.

Think if youre criticising the keeper there youre looking for reasons not to love football there i said it

turned on the radio, Lawrenson blaming the keeper, i'll go with the opposite of whatever Lawrenson says

Sterling really reminds me of when Gervinho played for us, they are best and fastest players to run into the opposition and give away the ball, achieving absolutely nothing

Lennon

Walcott actually better than them, which from me yknow

turned on the radio, Lawrenson blaming the keeper, i'll go with the opposite of whatever Lawrenson says

Oh, he always blames the keeper and if a keeper makes a spectacularly good save, it's "One for the cameras there". Twat.

Again- hates football

Definitely.

Hoddle blaming the keeper there on ITV. Again, tempted to go against him just because, y'know, twat. Bilic basically telling him to shut up.

TV3 has a female analyst and she is exactly as bad as anyone else in the role, viva progress

looking at it again the keeper seemed woefully unprepared to me. but it's true i do hate football tbf.

luka's technique was exemplary from an insanely difficult ball

Croatia Turkey definitely the best kit pairing so far fwiw.

She blamed the gk but in the nicest way possible

British ex-players should be banned from punditry for the duration of this tournament.

dunno i'd quite happily sub in souness for anyone the bbc has fronting up for them

Gk sees it late and did well to get close enough for his missing it completely to look pretty bad. Again id argue the dip had a lot to do with it

Nice connection, loses points aesthetically for being too central and bouncing before it goes in. Not a "great" goal

If Charlie Adam or some other midtable EPL landfill had scored that in an inconsequential game everyone would be pissing their pants.

everyone hates charlie adam

so no

imagine if it was Joe Hart in goal xpost

exactly

Great goal.

Ref sprays line. Everyone steps over line. Ref does nothing.

how du miss that ?!

absolute shocker

srna no way

Croatia starting to look like contenders here

What have i missed, was oit of room for a minute

Bounce of ball is irrelevant imo if the pace has it going by you like that

keeper parried the ball out to Srna, screwed it wide with most of the goal to aim at

shame that would have been a beautiful goal after modric turned and flicked himself out of pressure at the start of the move there

who does Perisic play for? Impressive

inter? last i heard i think

was good at dortmund, slightly less good at wolfsburg

oh yeah, I guess I remember him at Dortmund

calhanoglu has been really bad so far :(

sitter

Turkey have shown nothing in the final third until the last 5 minutes
