Euro 2016

[Mazuuurk]

Has anyone else notices everyone keeps slipping in every game? Are they watering the pitches too much?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Having a look, I reckon if Northern Ireland can limit the damage to 1 goal, maximum 2 against Germany I think that'll probably be enough to go through. 3-0 defeat would be pushing it.

Their second goal today was massive.

[Serj]

Has anyone else notices everyone keeps slipping in every game? Are they watering the pitches too much?

Yeah, it happens several times every game. No idea what they're doing. I'm surprised it hasn't caused as big of a fuzz as the ball in 2010, it's definitely been as noticeable.

[Sam]

Am I too late for a fuck the sheepshaggers moment?

That goal was glorious to see the silence hush over the bitter half.

[Max Power]

The Sturridge goal is better on repeat viewin actually. Really well worked in a tight area under pressure by him, Vardy and Alli.

[GS]

I think you're 10-0 Germany prediction was somewhat ill-judged, GS.

It was a hoped for result, not a prediction.

I've no idea what we realistically need on Tuesday to go through via third place. Three points wouldn't be enough, surely.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Somebody will go through with three points I think. Maybe even two teams. What you want is lots of shitty draws in other groups, particularly Albania v Romania. You also want Ireland and Sweden not to win. If both of those happen three points will be enough.

[Magic]

Another NI fan died today in the stadium. There'll be a full 90 minutes of standing for the Ulstermen at this rate.

What a celebration.

To be fair, went to a pub back home (Wolverhampton) and the scenes were no different, pints flying everywhere when that goal went in, no lie that I'm sitting here that I smell like a Guinness.

One of the most enjoyable moments as an England fan, there really is nothing better in life than a last minute winner,

[Spoonsky]

Fuck man. I wish I lived somewhere that cared about football.

[niko_cee]

But think about all the tailgating you'd miss out on. Go sports!

[Magic]

U.s.a! U.s.a!

So good

[Shindig]

Northern Ireland can't seem to get through a game without a fan dying.

[John]

Why was he crying there? The time puts it before the winner went in, so he must have just been so Smiffy about the win that even a draw was inconceivable.

That aside, getting on the big screen does seem to be the ultimate cure for sport related despondence. Short of an Aguero style league win there can't be a faster nought to sixty time in football.

[ItalAussie]

Why was he crying there? The time puts it before the winner went in, so he must have just been so Smiffy about the win that even a draw was inconceivable.

I was really thinking that when he came up on the screen.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Italian anthem really is brilliant. Can't be many better.

[Max Power]

Was just about to post the same. Best by a country mile. Makes me want to go out there and commit cynical fouls

[Max Power]

Pelle is in pure donkey mode today. Sweden much improved from their first game though.

[Bartholomert]

Fuck man. I wish I lived somewhere that cared about football.

Dude. America has college football tailgating, an activity that actually involves girls instead overweight middle aged men.

Also it's soccer.

[Cord]

Well, this has been tedious.

[ItalAussie]

Italy's trying, but Florenzi is having a terrible game, and Parolo's been anonymous. Candreva is the only guy with the ability to create anything.

[Shindig]

Italy probably look better when they're under more pressure. Sweden have decent pace on the flanks but its all heading towards a Swedish neck-monster in the middle.

[mugbull]

This tournament has got to have had the most crosses/game of any tournament. Just constant crosses into nothingness.

[ItalAussie]

"Here's a good move"
*Goes to Parolo*
*Nothing comes of it*

[ItalAussie]

I must have heard/read that fact about Chiellini having a degree at least a half dozen times in the last fortnight.

[Max Power]

Get Insigne on this is dire

[Max Power]

Motta is on. Bold move :moop:

[Bob Sacamano]

Motta :drool: Italy settling for the 0-0

[Cord]

This game is actually making me wish I was in work today.

[mugbull]

Somehow i'm less angry about this game than Germany-Poland, probably because i didn't expect anything from it to begin with.

If football was played 9 v 9 it would be such a better sport. Even 10 v 10 would be good.

[ItalAussie]

Italy depend so much on counter-attacks that they don't know what to do if they have to create the gaps themselves.

[Lewis]

Yeah, 4-4-1 and 4-3-1 formations would make for loads of goals.

[Trancemeister]

Still not a shot on goal for Sweden.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yeah, 4-4-1 and 4-3-1 formations would make for loads of goals.

If that. I reckon they'd have 3 central defenders who never move, 1-2 stoppers in front of them who never move, and then the rest PILE FORWARD in basketball-style counter attacks (and need drugs so as not to keel over after half an hour).

[ItalAussie]

:D

We've been better than Sweden, but we probably didn't deserve to win this. Nice run though.

[Max Power]

Èder has been pure tripe but that's a lovely goal.

Sweden are so pointless though. Have they ever Ben involved in an interesting tournament game? Zero shots on target in two games

[Lewis]

They were good value at Euro 2004. That blatant fix they cooked up with Denmark to put the Italians out being the highlight.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Oh lollingtons.

Ireland v Belgium later is a big game. If Ireland get anything then it's scenes incoming on the last day.

[ItalAussie]

Would love to see Ireland nick a win there.

[ItalAussie]

Optimistic penalty shout from Sweden. :D

[phonics]

743818085270978560

A sign that whoevers on the most drugs might just take the whole thing.

Vardy to run riot.

[Cord]

I'm starting to think to save a bit of time we might as well just get the ref to ask the teams how they intend to play beforehand, and then just give the 1-0 win to the team that picks slow possession football over the one that picks nine men behind the ball. Everyone can then spend their time smashing France up instead.

Though it's nice to watch a tournament where England aren't the dullest team there.

Italy had less possession than Sweden.

[Pepe]

How about walls instead of side/end lines, hockey style? Chuck the continuous subs system in there too.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm pretty sure it's the format that does this - there's no incentive to attack until the final games.

[Pepe]

Oh and the fights too. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Second game I fell asleep watching, this tournament needs a spark.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It should be like American Football in my opinion, which as we know is a wonderful, exciting sport to watch. A series of set pieces needing to gain territory and if you get tackled, the clock stops and you regain posession with another free kick in the spot you lost possession. Play always restarts with some wanker tapping it back to your best player waiting behind.

DE-fenders will be picked largely for their prowess in forming and fronting up in defensive walls (small testicles ideal), whilst OFF-enders will be picked mainly for their diving skills.

[SincereTheRebel]

Somehow we need to get suarez in the tournument so he can bite a man.

[Pepe]

How about a larger goal surrounding the regular one? Scoring on that larger goal would be worth 0.5 goals.

[Vim]

That was the worst game of football I've seen in a long time, culminated in a goal by the worst player from our team. Fucking beautiful. :drool:

[Lewis]

I reckon Italy would shut the tedious Germans down easily enough, but you could see somebody like France or Ronaldo (or England) beating them with some shonky piece of shit goal.

[Jimmy Floyd]

How about a larger goal surrounding the regular one? Scoring on that larger goal would be worth 0.5 goals.

I'd rather have a tiny 'mega zone' goal inside the current goal, worth 3 goals if you get it in there.

Add fan votes for substitutions, and we're pretty much ready to go.

[Bernanke]

Deflategate.

[Max Power]

Croatia looking good again. Just not very clinical.

[mugbull]

And when I thought it couldn't get any worse, we've got a an American woman commentating the Czech game.

[mugbull]

A visual appears on screen

"Referee: Mark Klattenburg"

:D

[mugbull]

"David Lafata has had a very similar career to Chris Wondolowski."

Oh really mate? Wondo's played in Jablonec for several years?

[Max Power]

Fully deserved. Croatia's midfield is delightful.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:rave:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lovely goal, Hubnik has money on overs.

[Max Power]

Hope Modric isn't injured. He's been superb again. Croatia have been the best side I've seen this tournament.

[Lee]

Hope Modric isn't injured. He's been superb again. Croatia have been the best side I've seen this tournament.

And me. I feel like it's really open. Nobody has has stood out as miles ahead of the rest.

[Shindig]

Corluka looks adorable in his little wooly hat.

[Max Power]

And they've got Premier League Winner Andy Kramaric gathering dust on the bench! An embarrassment of riches!

I'd probably worry about their defence against proper good attacks but I feel you can say that about most teams. Would be nice to get a new winner.

[Browning]

This is shaping up to be one of the groups where the 3rd placed team has a worse record than Northern Ireland, so they only need to find 1 more to qualify.

[Foe]

And me. I feel like it's really open. Nobody has has stood out as miles ahead of the rest.

And me. I'm bloody excited to watch Croatia vs Spain live in Bordeaux now. :drool:

Engla...

No. :(

[Lee]

Yep. They'll want England to put two or three past Slovakia and Wales to not lose against Russia. If they avoid a battering by the Germans that might be enough.

Might even set up England vs Northern Ireland in the next round. :drool:

[GS]

I couldn't cope being beaten by England in the last 16. Sorry. I'd sooner see Ireland reunified.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We've got a game.

[Lee]

I couldn't cope being beaten by England in the last 16. Sorry. I'd sooner see Ireland reunified.

I thought you'd be well up for that game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Flares :drool:

[Boydy]

I couldn't cope being beaten by England in the last 16. Sorry. I'd sooner see Ireland reunified.

:D

Imagine if we put England out though. :drool:

[GS]

I thought you'd be well up for that game.

Being in the last 16, absolutely. Losing to another home nation in it - no. The only conceivable scenario which would be worse would be losing to the Republic of Ireland, as we'd almost certainly need to impose hard border controls and reintroduce internment to prevent the outbreak of twattery that would ensue.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Holy shit, they're going mental.

[GS]

:D

Imagine if we put England out though. :drool:

I'd give up on sport if it happened, but it's not worth the risk. Imagine if we lost - being patronised by English people about how we "did well to get that far". Christ.

[Amigo]

What the fuck are those idiots playing at?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Croats turning on each other is great.

[Waffdon]

Were they battering each other?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They should just Corluka in to nut them all.

[Max Power]

Obviously it's very much not on, but it always makes me laugh how grave and serious commentators get about this sort of thing.

[Lewis]

Aren't Croatia always the best team in the tournament for about three games?

[Lewis]

Make that two games.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Croatia :harold:

Vida is a fucking mong.

[Max Power]

lol how have Croatia managed to not win this game?

[Amigo]

:harold:

[Browning]

Fucking hell. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I put $5 on Czech Republic for fun, watched 10 minutes, and then put $40 on Croatia. I view the current result of proof of my superior skills.
:harold:

[John]

Croats turning on each other is great.

What happened?

A couple of their players were properly arguing during the first game.

[Amigo]

Be just about the lollest thing ever if Croatia manage to lose this.

[Spikey M]

I'd give up on sport if it happened, but it's not worth the risk. Imagine if we lost - being patronised by English people about how we "did well to get that far". Christ.

You did well to get this far.

[Lewis]

What's that on his head?

[Browning]

What happened?

A couple of their players were properly arguing during the first game.

Their fans chucked a bunch of flares on the pitch and then started beating each other up causing a massive delay and probably contributing to Croatia conceding a ridiculously stupid penalty.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What happened?

A couple of their players were properly arguing during the first game.

Fans were fighting in the stands and lobbed some flares. They also threw a firework onto the pitch at some Croatian players. They were leading at that point.

[-james-]

https://streamable.com/rmsf

I have no words.

[Yevrah]

Are the French just absolutely useless at law enforcement/security?

[John]

Are the French just absolutely useless at law enforcement/security?

Yes. Even after their fans had spent two days battering eachother on the streets before the game they didn't bother with segregation at all in the England vs Russia game.

[Bernanke]

So given the warning to the Russian, is this the Croats out of the tournament or will they just get fined?

[Reg]

Missed Turkey's last match, what were they like? Front three looks like it could be good.

[Max Power]

They were absolute shit. Should have been panned 4-0 by the profligate Croats.

Holding out hope for a dirty 1-0 from them still.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck Tony Pulis.

[Waffdon]

Busquets :D

[Reg]

Ahhhh, that's why he was going on about set pieces.

Probably a valid point in fairness. They've been a bit crap, apart from Bale's and that Kroos assist. There are no good corner takers anymore.

[Bartholomert]

God Turkey are so shit, I can't even watch this

[igor_balis]

It always seems like players/managers are trying to be too clever with their set-pieces, e.g. Ronaldo's stupid run-up/hitting the wall combo and having Kane take corners.

My mate is a Newcastle fan and assures me that they spent basically the entirety of Pardew's time there hitting corners really deep into the box with the intention of someone heading it back across goal, and it worked once. Just whip it in you cunts.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ahhhh, that's why he was going on about set pieces.

Probably a valid point in fairness. They've been a bit crap, apart from Bale's and that Kroos assist. There are no good corner takers anymore.
The way he was talking about special routines though, as if he doesn't just say lump it into the middle for the big man.

[Samadini]

Pardew properly thought he was a genius going for Williamson at the far post with every single set piece we had for about 4 years, the twat.

[Max Power]

Pearson had goalkeeping coach Mike Stowell doing ours in training during his reign. I often wondered why we were so bad at them...

[Bartholomert]

I'm not even angry, just deeply sad. Just a different league.

[Byron]

lol Mert.

[Max Power]

Enjoying Pulis on comms.

This could be a hammering.

[igor_balis]

I don't think Jonathan Greening was able to beat the first man the whole team he played for us. Though he did ask if Portugal had a 'different sun' because it was so hot there in pre-season, so I'm not hugely surprised by him not realising his method wasn't really working.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck Spain, people will be wanking themselves silly again.

[Bartholomert]

Such a fucking unprofessional team. I can't watch this I've turned it off.

[Lewis]

The only teams that seem to regularly concede off corners are the ones using stupid defensive structures ('Rafa' and his zonal marking spring to mind) or with child-like Daley Blind defenders, so you need David Beckham and John Terry to be scoring off them more than twice a season.

[CJay]

Fuck Spain, people will be wanking themselves silly again.

:cab:

Why do people get so butt hurt about the way they play?

[Lee]

I could really do without Spain turning out to be good and winning another fucking tournament.

[Max Power]

I did bet on Spain pre tournament but they'd be a fairly dull winner. Look strong though.

[Reg]

Not at all. There used to be specialist corner takers, there are hardly any now. Some supposedly good takers often hit the first man.

[Lee]

:cab:

Why do people get so butt hurt about the way they play?

When they've been good (Euro 2008, final of Euro 2012) they've deserved all the plaudits going their way. I took againat them after the 2010 World Cup though. It was just death by possession. Very effective but fuck me was it dull. I rarely find them fun to watch. Their opening game in this tournament was awful. Obviously the opposition had a lot to do with it but from a neutral point of view it's shit watching them not try to change things up because they knew they'd grind out a 1-0 anyway.

Also, they've won three of the last four international tournaments most of us watch. That's shit in the same way as growing up wathching Man Utd hoover up every trophy going for years was.

[CJay]

Not at all. There used to be specialist corner takers, there are hardly any now. Some supposedly good takers often hit the first man.

Who was a specialist corner taker?

[igor_balis]

Who was a specialist corner taker?

Fr. Cyril McDuff.

[Reg]

Who was a specialist corner taker?
I don't mean people only on the pitch to take a set piece but players like Beckham and Pirlo.

[Kikó]

Dennis Irwin and Phil Jones to name a few

[Samadini]

In 2012/2013, everyone scored a shit load of them. Don't know what it's been like in seasons since then, was just in the first article I found when trying to find out how many years it took for Newcastle to score from one :moop:

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/19/article-2311576-19621A79000005DC-121_306x377.jpg

:rave:

[Pepe]

Goals from corners are shit. We're better off without them.

[Reg]

Dennis Irwin and Phil Jones to name a few
Jones on corners is up there with the most van Gaal of van Gaal ideas.

And people suggesting you don't know football if you dared to think they were boring.

I also hate Spanish footballers and the large majority who play in Spain, they're utter cunts.

[Reg]

That's class. Good to watch tonight.

[Lee]

I hope this is just Turkey being really shit. Had them as worst performing team in the office prediction competition. Catching up on that bitch at the top of the table as well, the arse has fell right out of her clairvoyance.

[Max Power]

God, Iniesta is so good.

[Bartholomert]

Just helpless. What the fuck is going on?

This could easily be 4-5.

[Waffdon]

Murr from Impractical Jokers is Iniesta's twin

[Max Power]

Enjoyed watching Spain tonight, some lovely football. However Turkey are absolute trash, brings into full focus how shit Holland were to finish behind not only this mob, but Czech Republic AND Iceland.

[Reg]

Whistling their own player during the game. Classy.

[Bartholomert]

Whistling their own player during the game. Classy.

You don't understand the depths of the emotional anguish / despair. It's one thing to lose, fine, we know we aren't good. It's another thing to be the captain, carry the hopes of 80 million people on your shoulders, and then play without any passion or desire. Have some fucking national pride. It's indescribably offensive.

They've given up. They don't want to be there. It's disgusting. Lose (we are used to losing!), but lose with pride and honor for Gods sake. Even in the twilight of the Ottoman Empire the Turks would fight to the last man, that is the ethos we want to see carried forward by our soccer team.

[Max Power]

The Turkish fans are unhappy. Stay safe on the streets of Nice kids.

[Bartholomert]

The Turkish fans are unhappy. Stay safe on the streets of Nice kids.

It's more emotional exhaustion / despair than violent rage. If I know anything about the psyche of the Turkish masses there will be no fighting, just thousand yard stares and silence.

[Reg]

But whistling during play doesn't help. You have to help your team.

[Max Power]

Not much fighting, maybe stabbing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd put money on violence after that post from Mert.

[Bartholomert]

But whistling during play doesn't help. You have to help your team.

They were alright for the first 30 minutes before the team collapsed. There's nothing to help at this point.

[Reg]

They're still in the tournament. The whistling won't help them going into the next game. They'll just be thinking they don't have any support before it's even kicked off.

[ItalAussie]

They're still in the tournament. The whistling won't help them going into the next game. They'll just be thinking they don't have any support before it's even kicked off.

Especially given that one win probably sees them through and the Czechs are quite beatable.

[Spoonsky]

I don't fancy Spain to make the final, but who has looked better than them so far?

Italy putting them out would be mightily satisfying.

[GS]

Turkey are a horrible team. Shame it wasn't 30-0.

[Foe]

If France tit it up against the Swiss they could meet in the qf in Marseille. Similarly if the Slovaks beat the English and Wales beat Russia it could be a Spain eng r16 with France to follow in the qf.

Mon the upset.

[SvN]

Is Mert Turkish again now? I'm having trouble keeping up.

[Browning]

1 win probably won't be enough for Turkey unless it's a massive one. 3 points will get someone through but not if they end up with a minus 3 goal difference.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Is Mert Turkish again now? I'm having trouble keeping up.

Back to American after the loss I'd imagine.

[Bartholomert]

Is Mert Turkish again now? I'm having trouble keeping up.

I'm Turkish American; I have a multi cultural background. This is very normal in the US.

[Spikey M]

And German. And Armenian.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Nous sommes tous turquoise.

[Browning]

The almighty Austria to be the 2nd team eliminated tonight. :drool:

Though hopefully not as I'd love to see them beat Portugal.

[Lee]

Today is the last day with three games on for a week. I always hate it when the number of games dwindles. Mind you, next Saturday and Sunday have three knock out games apiece. :drool:

[Kikó]

Portugal are naff when Ronaldo is in posturing mode which he seems to be in more often these days. I actually think he is past his best. He doesn't seem to be able to move anymore.

Cue a Ronaldo hattrick.

[Magic]

BBQ today lads. Telly is outside. Bet all three games are shite.

[SvN]

I'm going to a BBQ today as well, looks shit outside though.

[Magic]

Sunny as fuck here. :drool:

[Byron]

I'll end up missing the Iceland-Hungary game but otherwise I'm set for today :cool:

[Baz]

Hopefully 40 year old Gabor Kiraly is still exhausted from the first game, so Iceland can score a few.

[Waffdon]

That Belgium team is so much better and balanced. I have no words if they don't score at least three.

[Magic]

Faillaini benched?

[igor_balis]

i'm not having a barbecue today

[Amigo]

Fuck, I'm nervous.

[Lee]

Fuck, I'm nervous.

How was Reykjavik after the draw with Portugal?

And has Ronaldo become a national hate figure?

[Amigo]

How was Reykjavik after the draw with Portugal?
There were celebrations for sure but they were somewhat muted since we 'only' got a draw and the day after was a workday. Going to see some real scenes if we can get a positive result today, though.


And has Ronaldo become a national hate figure?
There was a bit of furore (e.g. shops selling CR7 underwear/socks at a massive discount) but I think everyone's used to these types of comments about our national team by now. Mandzukic (I think) said something similar after the first game of the World Cup play-offs back in 2013.

[Browning]

That was a real cunt move from the Ireland player there with the second ball. Glad he was booked.

[Spikey M]

Faillaini benched?

As he should have been to begin with. Dembele is twice the player he is.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

All from Toby trying to decapitate an Irishman.

[Mellberg]

I'd be seething with this ref if I were Irish.

[Spikey M]

This is the worst performance from a referee so far.

[Boydy]

I wish music being played after goals would be banned.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ireland have properly shit the bed here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I wish music being played after goals would be banned.

The White Stripes would be bankrupt though...

[Lee]

I missed the build up so didn't see the line ups - have Belgium set up differently than against Italy?

I know they're playing worse opposition, but they just look more balanced.

[Mike]

I wish music being played after goals would be banned.
I always use it in club football as an easy way to identify a small club.
It is very annoying though, almost as bad as fans playing music in the stands.

[igor_balis]

De Bruyne playing at #10 instead of Fellaini is probably the most obvious and important change. Being allowed to play on the counter at pace at a tiring Ciaran Clarke vs trying to break down that Italian side makes them look at lot better too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lille's is the worst.

Motion granted.

[Disco]

I forgot he actually plays a giant mobile phone at the beginning. :D

[igor_balis]

Howard from the Halifax adverts has come a long way.

[Amigo]

The pre-game show I'm watching is probably the worst thing of all time.

Just a load of cringeworthy interviews with supporters and no attempt at analysing how the game will go.

'How are you going to celebrate if Iceland win?' :sick:

[Waffdon]

Belgium <3

:cool:

He's fucking amazing live.

[Amigo]

French police not allowing Icelandic fans to enter the stadium because of crowd trouble on the Hungarian side.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kiraly :harold:

[Bernanke]

:drool:

[Max Power]

Excellent refereeing from this weird bald fella.

[Sam]

Iceland :drool:.

[Lee]

Amigo. :drool:

[Amigo]

Get in, motherfuckers.

[Browning]

That wasn't a penalty for me. No foul either way. But who cares.

[GS]

Fuck Ireland.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

'Chappers' can fuck off.

[Manc]

Definite dive. Hopefully justice will be served.

[Disco]

That Waddle backheel on his Marseille debut is glorious, what a don.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Icelandic chap who spat on his own chin :D

[Bernanke]

Áfram Ísland!

[Lee]

An Austria win and Portugal not being able to catch Iceland would be glorious.

[Manc]

Shoot on and sight and this lad is going to fluff one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The ref has money on Iceland :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:(

[Manc]

Justice. :drool:

[Lee]

Bollocks.

[Amigo]

Ugh.

[Max Power]

Choker. Ronaldo will be delighted

[mugbull]

Iceland are as good if not better than Hungary, I don't know why they were completely parking the bus at 1-0. They should've been going for it at least a little bit.

[Manc]

Please don't.

[Shindig]

Nah, right result. Penalty was a weak decision and, whilst Hungary had no cutting edge, they had more of the ball and more chances. They might've won this is Kleinheisler wasn't on the pitch. That said, we should've had another minute on top of the 4 already given.

Lazzy was good in the first half, and he's definitely the most skilled player on the Hungarian team. 2nd half he was out of it though, probably tired.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mon the Austrians, I'd love another Ronaldo chimp out.

[Manc]

Nice to see Samuel L Jackson make it to the Euros.

[Lee]

I'm not sure if I'd rather Ronaldo really turn it on or end the game in tears. The former, I think, but marginally.

[Disco]

Either extreme would be entertaining.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's more Turkish than Mert.

[Manc]

Trezeguet looking like Teal'c.

Ronaldo. Ffs.

[Kikó]

If Portugal had a decent a striker they could have a chance. As it is, it's wingers trying to be forwards.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Someone needs to tell Ronaldo that he's fucking awful at free kicks. Oh and commentators, they seem to think he's amazing at them too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Portugal are really trying to make the shit Austrian keeper look world class by smashing it right at him constantly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at Ronaldo having had more shots than Northern Ireland in the tournament this far.

[Boydy]

Give over with the NI hate, Mahow.

[Lee]

I'd love Austria to get a late winner here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Arnautovic is seething so hard.

[Spikey M]

Missmissmissmissmiss

[Lee]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Spikey M]

Hahajahahajajdjfnskwlvnv xmsmsn

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:harold:

Fucking brilliant.

[Ian]

Couldn't happen to a nicer fellow.

[Trancemeister]

FFS I have Ronaldo first scorer and Portugal win.
He's also my fantasy captain

[Kikó]

Ffs Ronny.

[Browning]

Fucking hell he's been so bad in these 2 games.

Please nick one Austria.

[Disco]

:lol:

[Bernanke]

:happycry: :happycry: :happycry:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Played on the commentator who isn't Keown stating that all the penalties prior to this have been scored to jynx him nicely.

[Spikey M]

He's going to cry. I need this.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Need a goal, send for Eder :henn0rz:

[Spikey M]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
