Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Anthony Taylor really doing his part to kill this match off and the subsequent semis with these yellows. Joselu. Let's see something.

The smug look he had on his face when he immediately dismissed the penalty shouts. I'm glad he didn't give it, but still, he's a bit of douchebag, isn't he?
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Btw Christina Unkel perspectives on these referee/VAR calls has been one of the highlights of the tournament to me
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Dives really need to be VAR reviewed. Really, really poor from Nacho.

Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 (edited) SPAIN LET'S GO Germany just didn't carry that momentum like they needed to. That might be it for Toni Kroos. @Hero-of-Time totally agree, the "reason" is it's not there for yellows or whatever, but while I get Nacho obstructing Wirtz from chasing the ball...what harm is he trying to stop when Simon is there and blasting it over to the other side of the pitch? It's crazy. Edited July 5, 2024 by Julius
Hero-of-Time Posted July 5, 2024 Posted July 5, 2024 Just now, Julius said: Carvajal lmao what a pro Disgusting challenge.
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Kroos getting the final kick It goes nowhere farewell to one of the best and one of my favourites
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Just now, Hero-of-Time said: Disgusting challenge. Oh, absolutely. Totally necessary and he had no real choice. Guarantee the guys back in the studio tear him apart besides Keane – if only Carva were Italian
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Don't get any time to really soak this one in because now it's time to switch over to BBC One for Portugal v France. I'm knackered. 1
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Couldn't have Ronaldo on screen without mentioning Messi's penalty miss. What year is it again?

Hero-of-Time Posted July 5, 2024 Posted July 5, 2024 Shoddy first half, especially when compared to the previous match. Wouldn't be surprised if France end up scraping through again...
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Both teams look fully capable of scoring, the game has been flowing well in that it's going from left to right and back again...but they just kind of refuse to. Not quite the place or time I was expecting the players' strike to start to be totally honest 35 minutes ago, Julius said: So, 2018? I swear they both missed one at the World Cup in Russia, I'll check on the break Checked on this, because, well, not a great match so far and what else is there to do, really? Can confirm they both missed a pen on Russia. Messi vs Iceland @ World Cup 2018 Ronaldo vs Iran @ World Cup 2018 Great, now I need to find another rabbit hole to fill my time with during this second half... 1

Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Portugal really going for it now, some great attempts from them and excellent saves by Maignan. Shocked Ronaldo and Portugal wasn't shouting for a pen, I don't think it was one but a case could certainly be made. Much more of one than that Mendes dive earlier.
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 (edited) Proper end-to-end now. Great chance for France there. Hope this continues on for the next 25+ to close this game out Edited July 5, 2024 by Julius
Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Just been thinking, Martinez probably should've been trying to utilise Ronaldo like an impact sub similar to how Nagelsmann had been using Füllkrug. Promise him he'll come on around the 60th minute to help define the final scoreline, think it'd have more of a mental impact for his team and against the opponents, too

Julius Posted July 5, 2024 Author Posted July 5, 2024 Yes, commentators, we know he's Sérgio Conceição's son. Because you've told us EVERY. FREAKING. TIME. he's walked onto the pitch this tournament
