[Football] The 2016 European Championship Final

[Giggles]

Moths are attracted to light.

Makes sense

The French really are fucking useless.

[Reg]

The knockouts have been shit.

Looking over the matches, 'entertaining' is probably kind. But France-Ireland, Italy-Spain, Wales-Belgium and Germany-France were good. Probably England-Iceland as well for most of the world.

Bizarre change.

The problem when all your players are good is that you have to take a good player off to make a sub.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ugh, wanker.

[John]

How is leaving the floodlights on all night a security measure anyway? Unless they're trying to stop burglars the same way my gran does, by trying to make them think someone's home.

[Magic]

Waff.

[Raoul Duke]

Needed Giroud on that one. Greasy is too short.

I guess trying to stop people being able to lurk around in the dark and plant explosives.

Islamic militants are terrified of moths. Big chapter in the Koran about them.

I wonder how the rest of the world sees us? I know we think we should be doing better than we do (and we really should), but surely our track record has the rest of the world looking on us and our chances as we do with a team like, say, Denmark.

Yeah but your Gran (I assume) doesn't live in a massive stadium, having the lights on makes surveillance quite a bit easier.

[Magic]

They should have plastered the Stade de France in streaky bacon.

Probably better to have them on than not. The risk is high so you do what you can.

[Waffdon]

Giroud-esque miss.

I've wondered this, are we basically Spain from the 90's?

[Dquincy]

Someone left the lights in the stadium on last night which attracted them all.

They moth be regretting that now.

Flat track bullies in qualifying who aren't anywhere near where you think you are compared to top teams. And it's been a long long time since you were.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Portugal are going to shit their way to victory aren't they?

[Jimmy Floyd]

I was ambivalent before Ronaldo went off (lol at him doing panto dame on the stretcher), but now I'm well up for some sailor twat arriving at the back post with a glass of port and a navigator's hat to bundle in a 98th minute winner.

Foreign players sometimes talk us up when interviewed here, but I never get the impression it's genuine.

[Magic]

I'd love Portugal to shit out the worst final ever.

Called Murray earlier too. Shame I don't understand betting.

[Pepe]

I think most see England as one of the big nations. Can probably thank the BPLSBB for that.

Hamann summed it up nicely on TV here after the Iceland game.

[Giggles]

Matter of time for France here you'd think.

[Pepe]

Portugal has been truly horrendous.

[John]

Hamann summed it up nicely on TV here after the Iceland game.

By saying what?

[mugbull]

Pogba is such a nothing player.

[Pepe]

Eder.

[Magic]

Eder for Sanchez? It's going to be an Allardyce/Davies special, this.

[Giggles]

By saying what?

He did a Guardian interview based on it a few days later, it's fairly recent.

[-james-]

Hamann summed it up nicely on TV here after the Iceland game.

My mate made a good point about this.

[Mellberg]

He's a physical beast, but has about as much upstairs as Anne Frank.

Edit: Pogba

[John]

Did I miss the story about Martial fucking Deschamps' wife and wiping his cock on the curtains? It must exist, because there's no other reason you don't put him on against a sluggish defence playing higher and higher up the pitch.

[Adramelch]

Eder for Sanchez? It's going to be an Allardyce/Davies special, this.

Sanchez has been useless this match anyway.

[Magic]

He's a physical beast, but has about as much upstairs as Anne Frank.

Edit: Pogba

Quite a lot, then?

[John]

She probably had some interesting patterns in her hair when they were done with her too. Good analogy.

[Magic]

You're never winning when Moussa Sissoko is the one with the most shots on goal in a game.

[Vim]

Great shot from Sissoko.

[Giggles]

By saying what?

Times, not Guardian.

[Magic]

I'd love to see an Evra mistake on 119 minutes to give Portugal the win.

[Dquincy]

This final sums up the whole tournament.

Mothy.

[Bob Sacamano]

Joao Mario is fucking everywhere

[Vim]

The 4-2-3-1 leaves Pogba so far from the box. Kind of a waste, he's a better attacking option than Sissoko surely.

[Byron]

Do I work with you? I've got Portugal in my work sweepstakes and the winning pot is £48...

Unless you work for an Insurance company in Norwich then nope.

[Magic]

Lol. Portugal definitely winning this.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

The 4-2-3-1 leaves Pogba so far from the box. Kind of a waste, he's a better attacking option than Sissoko surely.

He doesn't usually play this deep does he?

[Reg]

The 4-2-3-1 leaves Pogba so far from the box. Kind of a waste, he's a better attacking option than Sissoko surely.

Yeah he's better in a 3 in midfield from what I've seen.

Edit: btw they've been 442 I'd say. Griezmann alongside Giroud last couple games.

[Magic]

Ronnie rallying the troops. What a guy.

[-james-]

Gignac's HRK moment there. Griezmann should really have mopped up the rebound.

[Vim]

He doesn't usually play this deep does he?

Nah, like Reg said, he plays in a three-man midfield, as the outside midfielder. (we call it mezzala which means half-winger)
