yeahhe's a sporting lisbon trained winger who was defensively good enough to play in a 442also, has been a good player for maybe nine years now which is pretty good for a winger given how they get burned out or lose confidencenot a world class player or whatever but he's had a good career

Portugal is a fucking disgrace to football. Croatia failing Holland style: able to play the best football but failing miserably.

it's not hugely surprisingly that a player who would rather do a rabona than cross with his left foot near the byline might toe punt a pass to another player he had just been looking at

nothing they did today came close to 'best football' they were brillant in the earlier stages but that was a let down.

jfc Croatia were a bigger let-down than Franjo Tuđman

So they changed the ball from the Beau Jeu to the Fracas for the knockout phase.

Nope, if we can manage to keep to our plan its perfect to havs put france under this pressure to attack.
Long would be a sore loss
Our tackling is p poorly judged. Fouling when the ball was there to win cleanly.
Othereise i cant complain
Missed the goal obv

I haven't been watching this but I hope that was a dubious penalty, the Le Main of Henry incident still seems like yesterday to me.

Hate to break it but it was a stone cold pen
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 26 June 2016 13:36 (eight years ago) link
Tackling is stupid.
The objective is to get the ball, foul if necessary. These guys dont understand that in the heat of the moment

Pity this is on ITV. Would love if they went back to the studio at half time and Henry was sitting there.

Ireland v effectively disrupting France so far. Wonder if they can manage this for 90mins as it must be exhausting, but so far so good. France getting frustrated.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 26 June 2016 13:45 (eight years ago) link
Just when we need hendrick as pivot we have to sub him after that stupid booking
Coleman also incredibly foolish to dive on his booking
Football is good. France bad.
― EU don't negotiate with errorists (darraghmac), Sunday, 26 June 2016 13:47 (eight years ago) link
Only Hendrick's second stupidest booking of the tournament. First was for introducing a second ball to an opposition attack lol

What a header its almost enough to make you forget neither mccarthy nor hendrick bothered to do their one job there

Ireland were poor at this tournament. Technically and physically inadequate, very fortunate to face half-arsed Italy in final group game.
Kevin Fingleton @kfingleton 20m20 minutes ago
@MiguelDelaney @Zonal_Marking We don't care about our inadequacies. We had footballing moments that literally come along once a gereration.
