The bad news is the same as the good news. Rarely has someone been so despondent at seeing their side score three goals. Portugal could do with getting CR7 off so he can coach them for the second 45.

It's annoying me like crazy. Haha that celebration (or lack thereof) for his goal just says it all he seems really relaxed and just wants to get on with it, kind of reminds me of Kroos (though perhaps a little more extreme, then again as we just saw, Kroos can get a bit heated too) Edited June 19, 2021 by Julius
killthenet Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 I was starting to believe that Germany were going to win the tournament through own goals alone but Havertz and Gosens have ruined it

It's annoying me like crazy. Pretty much, but his talent speaks for itself. It looks like he’s a bit lazy but he’s anything but, he just glides. His demeanour reminds me of Berbatov.

drahkon Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 I see. Still annoys me greatly. I need emotion on the pitch

darksnowman Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 ^^^ Now that's the Germany we know and love, eh @drahkon?
Hero-of-Time Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Best game of the tournament by a mile. Great stuff. This group is wide open at this point.
Jonnas Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Well... we might be getting better. Germany always seems to kick our asses in these competitions, but we put way more of a fight than usual. I'm disappointed by the result, but not by the performance of the teams. Now we just need to defeat the World Champions and we're through. *nervous laughter* 1

Absolutely the best game of the tournament (though a bit of a shame about the own goals). Germany proving they can get a result when they need one too, which is what they needed to bounce back. Portugal were a bit of a mess at the back, but unlike some other teams in the tournament (ahem, England) they still have something to offer going forward, even without Ronaldo. France vs Portugal will hopefully be an entertaining match, would love to see Hungary put up a fight against Germany too.

Hungary will put up a hell of a fight Was pointing at the anime-ification H-o-T posted but glad to see you're in marginally better spirits now after eking out the three points. I'm dubious about this goal that was given just onside. Oh well. Let's see if Poland can manufacture a good chance or two for Lewandowski.

drahkon Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Such a stupid foul. I don't want Spain to go through Edit: Phew Edited June 19, 2021 by drahkon
Hero-of-Time Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Decent game that has once again left the group pretty open. Poland really held their own against a Spanish side that are a shadow of their former selves.
darksnowman Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Even with Poland subbing on a 17-year-old, that was a game of men against boys. The group is nicely poised for the final round of games. Should be good.
darksnowman Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 It is now 1,000 mins since Italy conceded a goal. Can Bales Wales breach them?
Julius Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 It's been coming, Italy absolutely deserve the lead. Well worked free kick. Wales need to hold on until half time, because the momentum is very much against them. They've been adventurous going forwards though, I'm sure they'll get their chance.
Julius Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Ampadu was late but I think everyone was surprised by the red there, seemed a bit harsh. Wales really up against it now. 1
darksnowman Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 That big fella Moore went down like a sack of spuds under the slightest of pressure from the little Italian!
Julius Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Some worldies being scored in the the Switzerland vs Turkey match. 7 minutes ago, darksnowman said: No two ways about it--he had to go. I think it was late, for sure, the red just seems harsh in the context that it probably wouldn't be a red in the Prem or some of the other leagues. UEFA have called for harsher and more direct calls in cases like this though, as the commentators were saying, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
