During the game I found myself wishing there was a Zidane 21st Century Portrait version of Rooney vs Iceland, the Vine only reinforces that desire.

hahahaha

soundtrack by stereophonics

soundtrack the theme from Chucklevision on a loop

Vertonghen has gone home with an ankle injury :-/

Shame.

Much as I enjoy watching Cron I really want Poland to win tonight... and Radwanska to win Wimbledon.

That was quick.

At least Portugal can't resort to killing the game like against Croatia now.

yeah perfect start entertainment-wise

p terrible by the portugal full back, but nice goal after that

This was the least enticing of all the QFs so that goal totally made this worth paying attention to.

heard someone else say that this week and i havent a fucking clue what ur on about tbh. easily the fixture with most contrasting but unstable styles

holy crap that was great build up

Poland v confident now. Though Milik thinking he's Ronaldo can only end in tears.

never looked worse than trying to sit on the lead v swiss but soaking them up and breaking to be expected tbf. getting better now

This is tasty from Poland so far, consider me chastised.

I hate watching Portugal.

^^ same

Poland with their tails up v watchable in the way Leicester were last season

kudos to ryan giggs for recommending england give southgate the manager's job with ferguson or van gaal overseeing him.

Golden Boy

BOOM

Lovely.

Looks less impressive once you notice the deflection but still a hell of a hit.

slags

galling to have lead wiped by 35 year old steroid abuser. mendes rigging this

lol

first game in this to fly by by my reckoning. welcome ht for pol, ominous vibes

time to pop over to london's delightful golborne road and put a brick thru stella mccartney corporate hq window

crying tears of gratitude for simple adroit pass and move here

So many bad passes

nani!! skillz

LBI otm

jfc

Poland seem completely nonplussed any time there's a semblance of a break, it's like a different team from the first half

havent seen any of zielinski but given the season he's supposedly had as playmaker i'm p surprised nawalka hasnt tried taking milik off for him in situations like this

nice persistent probing from poland right now eh? this is called "asking the question" iirc?

McDonalds Player Escorts you say?

The Portugal assistant coach looks like the kind of hapless weirdo that gets arrested three days into a high profile murder investigation.

Lol

first half was promising, but this is bad.

Bring in Kapustka imho

Ronaldo is a walking breathing facepalm

i like it. physical and fruitless. blue-ball city. it's like those knicks-heat playoff games in the 90s where the final score was like 80-77 and everybody was basically dead at the end of it.

Finally in the pub for this and nobody is watching really but come on someone I'm already drunk

loooooooooooooooolololol

LOL x2

Fuck yes lol idiot hero
