Julius Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Can't believe Bale missed that. On his favoured left foot, 8 yards out, should've been a simple one for him. Hard to believe Italy are only 1-0 up. They might end up regretting that they didn't take any of their earlier chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, more argy-bargy in the premier league than most places but I think going in with studs like that is still a straight red all day long? 2 minutes ago, Julius said: Can't believe Bale missed that.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a pretty challenge, just feel like we've seen a lot of those late stamps given as yellows before is all. Could have gone either way - it's definitely a card - but given that Bernadeschi got up pretty quickly too probably makes it a particularly hard pill for Ampadu to swallow. Subbing off Donnarumma had me chuckling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As incredible as that moment was, I was relieved Hartlepool ending up getting the promotion. I'm getting a season ticket there for the new season, and League 2 is way more inviting than the National League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Frustrating first half for Belgium, a few chances but nothing really clearcut, but excellent team effort to defend by Finland. Would love to see them go through and frustrate some of the other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely ramping up the pressure, I'd be surprised if Belgium didn't nick one, but Finland seen to have coped well so far. 10 minutes ago, LazyBoy said: Rooting for Denmark, but a lot has to still go right for them if they’re going to go through. Lovely goal at least. Yeah, great goal! Damsgaard has had a really good tournament, his embarrassing dive aside. They've just got another goal too, fingers crossed for them, they need to bump their goal difference to a bit I think to be in with any chance if they do end up being in third place. I'm sure they'll be hoping Belgium can put one away too. Edited June 21, 2021 by Julius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely goal at least. I'm liking that Finland kit but I think I'm on for Denmark too, though that could mostly be as I want to see some chopping and changing in the group standings. Live, Lukaku looked offside I thought, but in the replay he looked on... show me the lines! 8 minutes ago, Julius said: They're definitely ramping up the pressure, I'd be surprised if Belgium didn't nick one, but Finland seen to have coped well so far. Yeah, they are turning the screw in the second half. That Lukaku attempt aside, it seems like they are mostly trying to get Hazard a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we call this foot size discrimination? Because if Lukaku's feet were a bit smaller then he wouldn't have been offside. It was a lovely pass and finish too. Everything going against Denmark right now after that and the Russia penalty. Going to be an interesting 20 minutes (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eenuh Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 That Lukaku offside was ridiculous, I told @Fierce_LiNk it would just be his toes being offside or something silly. I was right. Good to see we finally got a goal though, even if it is an own goal from the goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Another twist, had a feeling that corner for Belgium might lead to something.
