EURO 2020 (2021 Edition)

That's a foul on pandev imo

Ukraine getting outmuscled in midfield

Two tight VAR calls against Macedonia in this game

Clive Tyldesley just excitedly commentated a replay of a Netherlands chance as if it was happening again, then had to correct himself like he was just retrospectively amazed at what a good save it was

great save but shouldn't have had a chance to save it really, respect both of these teams for moving the ball quickly and taking risks in attack, the controlling procession style adopted by so many teams now is the height of cowardice and an expression of fear that sours many games for me these days

football concussion protocols are non existent. concussed, score, go off. emma hayes on the co-comms bringing it again.

marco soft miss

Wasteful Austria

that controlled possession is very defensive-minded (maybe like how italy used to play) and is very boring to watch. i've noticed a lot of teams adopting that style of play, as well.

xp
yup should have punished 2 mins of criminal ukraine defending in stoppage time there.

ht ned v mac 1-0 - chances galore, how is just 1-0

Nederlands now two up

that was a crazy run by memphis. connected well with wijnaldum

2-0 netherlands

Could easily be about 5-3 xps

3 nil now. Could get very ugly

winajldum with a goal on the rebound

3-0 netherlands

i feel bad for north macedonia because they're a fairly new team

Might have to rename themselves again

Almost a great equaliser by Austria there

Almost 4. Dutch playing some lovely football

Chilwell and Mount now having to self-isolate after contact with Gilmour on Friday. Would presume Southgate will elect to withdraw from the tournament without his adopted son Mason Mount available

The joke doing the rounds was that the England team should be fine because none of them got anywhere near Gilmour on Friday. I suppose that's obsolete now.

I think it was the after match pleasantries what done it to be fair!

Oh ffs. Another Macedonia goal chalked off for offside

(xp) Never fraternize with the (auld) enemy.

chelsea bond tighter than national allegencies. like fans club greater than country.

frenkie de Jong has been terrific again, in this game, deep lying playmaking at its best

Not much urgency from Ukraine in their match considering they need a goal

Austrian manager is a bit excitable.

Foda appeared in over 400 top-flight matches in (West) Germany, Switzerland and Austria.[1] During his second spell with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the 1980s he won two caps with coach Franz Beckenbauer at the helm of the West Germany national team. Foda played against Argentina and Brazil in late 1987.[2] During his first ever international appearance, on 12 December 1987 in Brasilia against Brazil, Foda was at the centre of controversy. Both at the reading of the team names and later when he was substituted in, he was met with great applause by the Brazilian fans. Foda only found out the next day that this was due to his name translating to "free intercourse" in Portuguese.[3]

didn't quite realise until this euros how much i detest mark pougatch.

Didn't notice Alexi Lala, is he still a thing? Also, figuring out this PrendeTV.

Can't decide which game to put on in the background.

Alexi Lalas is insufferable on US football broadcasts, he's smug, he randomly finds players to demonize and then blames them for every misfortune that happens to their squad. conversely, he has players he lionizes and gives them unearned credit for everything.

he's a joke and we all mock him

v much still a thing lol but Twellman not much better

torn on who to support in this finland-belgium game

I’m going Belgium/Finland

To watch, answering earlier question

Belgium game on the tv, Denmark on the laptop

Would prefer Wales to play Finland but think it's unlikely

Denmark v. Russia. I don't really like Belgium tbh.

Danny Murphy or Martin Keown

Don't.

Belgium game on the tv, Denmark on the laptop

Did I start when I looked at the name of the Danish keeper.

i had no idea belgium is currently #1 in the fifa world ranking

Lukaku's touch is going to get someone killed

he's a joke and we all mock him

he goes for the kill

looking at this groups standings, how come Russia would go through if everything stays as is? They are below in goals against compared to Finland.

the head to head result counts more
