what sort of people buy those books

don't get me started.. it's a p small shop so we only have about a metre of true crime, approximately a third of which is various kray books

WOAH GOAL

also to be clear cos i know darragh likes the actual facts..hungary 1-0 zoltan gera. iceland 1 nil up also.

<3 Gera

Portugal don't work properly to regain possession. Obv they're good on the ball and create chances and with CRon you eventually expect goals - but out of possession they seem to hope the other team will give it back.

they have a pretty good set of defensive midfielders in william carvalho, renato sanches and danilo

don't let's be beastly to the HUN

There were a couple of periods in the few minutes leading up the the corner and the goal where there was no pressure whatsoever on the ball - some half-hearted runs into areas but no urgency and no-one getting close enough to hurry the man in possession. Like they felt Hungary would make a mistake rather than be forced into it.

Austria miss another penalty...off the same post as the last time too

tidy finish from nani i thought although keown blames the keeper

Austria have a been a big disappointment in this tournament

that is the best ronaldo pass i can remember

adam driver hanging out behind cron on that true crime book

a shame really, until the goal i was thoroughly enjoying the dynamic of Nani heading down blind alleys while somewhere in the background Ronaldo bellows in rage

that clip of him throwing the microphone is exquisite too

the first time he plays an exquisitely weighted throughball and makes valuable extracurricular content, both happening on the same day a mere 14 years into his professional career

apparently the journalist is from a scummy tabloid that he has had issues with previously but it still seems like evidence of a certain degree of derangement

They're showing highlights of the first half of the Iceland Austria game and they showed two different attempts at goal 9 times in a row from every fucking possible angle.

ha, david runciman wrote a bit about that (semifacetiously)

Classic or Dszudszak?

god schadenfreude at the expense of this Portugal team just doesn't get old

Ornladlo

ahhh Ronaldo you cuuunt that was great

would really suck if Portugal advance with 3 draws at Albania's expense.

id like to see a competent portuguese team

the whole basic people hating ronaldo thing is tired and the hating on portugal for ronaldo, pepe bruno alives and all that carry on that they get up to my word is even worse

Oh la la

might I be the first to celebrate everyone's favourite luso(micro)phone

lol this game

lol what a game

hahahahah this game is nuts

cron tantrum is kinda funny

can't even make a hackneyed pun without someone scoring a goal these days

Best game so far this

oh man if they go out tonight i'm worried Ronaldo might kill someone

has the feel of some distant spain tournament game i dimly remember where spain scored in stoppage time to win 4-3 or 5-4

This match!

The fun never ends

cron header, he's gonna get a hat trick isn't he? maybe 4 to supplant bale

is there live standings somewhere? not sure where Iceland stands now that Austria equalised.

Hungary hit the post. Shits cray.

shit almost another for hungary!!

Iceland still through

iceland 3rd xp

Spain beat Yugoslavia 4-3 in 2000 iirc, Mendieta scored
