Euro 2024: The Knockouts

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

VAR that.

[Magic]

Why doesn't he start Fullkrug?

[Pepe]

Why doesn't he start Fullkrug?

He probably doesn't press enough or track back or something.

[Adramelch]

Why doesn't he start Fullkrug?

Can't afford to lose the clinical finishing of Havertz.

[Magic]

Just another smart arse then who thinks he's being clever. Cunt.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Havertz is a bum.

[Magic]

Can't afford to lose the clinical finishing of Havertz.

Beautiful timing.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I thought that was pretty unlucky, with a normal ball that goes in. Not sure what more he can do.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Could have passed it.

[Pepe]

Carvajal is a bum too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Take him off, I've had enough.

Just play with 10 men.

[Lewis]

I was just about to post that Germany are toothless. Typical Germans.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Here we fucking go.

[Pepe]

Shit.

Deserved, tbh.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Es kommte.

Hope this now turns into a 3-2 extra time classic. The 'straight to penalties' mob should be jailed.

[Magic]

Can't say they haven't deserved it. Nice to see two great teams going at it.

[Pepe]

This really should have been the final.

[Dan]

Wirtz still in Leverkusen mode.

[Pepe]

Bring back Williams and Yamal.

[Luke Emia]

So to bring this back to England this has been a really enjoyable second half. You can’t tell me that either of these teams have better squads of players than England, which is why then Southgate and the players get so much shit.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This Oyarzabal has extra time goals written all over him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kroos again lol.

[Pepe]

Kroos is a fucking war criminal.

[Manc]

I've got Kroos down for four yellow cards.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've got Kroos down for four yellow cards.

Taylor's obviously set out in this game not to send anyone off no matter what happens, and Kroos is experienced enough to know that. Pretty bad stuff all round.

[Magic]

So to bring this back to England this has been a really enjoyable second half. You can’t tell me that either of these teams have better squads of players than England, which is why then Southgate and the players get so much shit.

If a team generally plays shite it's almost always the coaching team.

[Lewis]

France will just Jose Mourinho 2-0 at home Germany without breaking sweat, but Spain might give them a game.

[Pepe]

The 'straight to penalties' mob should be jailed.

There should be a vote or something. A match like this should go on until someone wins. France vs Portugal shouldn't even be played. Just have them take the PKs and be done with it.

[-james-]

Feel like Germany win this now with all of the CF Cadiz players Spain have brought on.

[-james-]

You get an extra shoot-out pen for every 5 shots you take in extra time.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Matterface talking about Cucurella there being the 3rd or 4th choice pre-tournament, but picked because he's an out and out left back, has made me sad. Justice for Tyrick / that guy at Luton.

[Shindig]

Has Joselu had any minutes yet?

[Magic]

Feel like Germany win this now with all of the CF Cadiz players Spain have brought on.

Nazis have Kroos and Mueller. I'd say it's anyone's game.

[Jimmy Floyd]

12 bookings now because he didn't want to get on top of it early. Great performance 'Tayls'.

[Pepe]

Subbing out Williams and Yamal was such a terrible move.

[Shindig]

Joselu on. :cool:

[niko_cee]

Subbing out Williams and Yamal was such a terrible move.

The sort of novice tournament football error Gareth would never make.

[Pepe]

The sort of novice tournament football error Gareth would never make.

Southgate would never play them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That could have been given.

[Adramelch]

Yeah that has to be a penalty in my opinion.

[Magic]

Southgate would never play them.

They'd come on at 89 and 93 minutes respectively, 3-0 down.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Good decision I think, he was pulling his arm out of the way.

[niko_cee]

It was by his side, hit point blank, even the twats in the FIFA var apology bus can't make a case for that one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Genuinely mad that Wirtz didn't start.

[Jimmy Floyd]

14th yellow there and not managed to give a second to anyone. Just magnificent refereeing.

[Pepe]

Kroos :harold:

[Pepe]

14th yellow there and not managed to give a second to anyone. Just magnificent refereeing.

Impressive memory, that's for sure.

[niko_cee]

14th yellow there and not managed to give a second to anyone. Just magnificent refereeing.

It has been a dirty game. Not 2010 world cup final dirty, but dirty nonetheless. Must be something about bald English refs.

[niko_cee]

The sheer level of skullduggery doesn't help. It's embarrassing, you're right Ally.

[Adramelch]

14th yellow there and not managed to give a second to anyone. Just magnificent refereeing.

It's been a theme throughout the tournament. There's very few double yellows I can recall.

[7om]

Fullkrug reminds me of Miroslav Klose the way he plays. Just causes chaos.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck.

[-james-]

Feel like Germany win this now with all of the CF Cadiz players Spain have brought on.

:huhu:

[Shindig]

Another ex-Mag strikes gold. :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

JAAAAA. Auf wiedersehen, lads.

[-james-]

The boy from Newcastle

[niko_cee]

Scenes.

[Pepe]

:rave:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a header that is.

[Magic]

Brilliant. :drool:

[niko_cee]

Olmo didn't deserve to be on the losing side, he's been outstanding.

[Waffdon]

Brilliant goal. Switch play, cross and header

[Pepe]

:cool:

That Olmo lad is shit hot. Might be my favorite current player.

:drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Amazing body position. He jumped too early and adjusted.

[niko_cee]

Can we write them off now?

[niko_cee]

God, three minutes, maybe not.

[Jimmy Floyd]

16 yellows now. Keep going Tayls!

[Magic]

Morata missing the semis because of his celebration. :D

[Pepe]

The fuck was that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They should have equalised.

[Waffdon]

Fullkrug loves to miss by a small margin

[niko_cee]

Absolute sitter.

[Pepe]

Incredible match.

[Pepe]

Good job from these two teams to hype us up for the main event France vs Portugal.

[Magic]

What the fuck is going on. :harold:

[Luke Emia]

16 yellows now. Keep going Tayls!

There you go.

[-james-]

Carvajal cancelling out the yellow card ban with that :lol:

[niko_cee]

This is mental.

[Adramelch]

Spain is going to missing like half the squad at this rate.

[Shindig]

Is that the end of Carvajal's tournament?

[Jimmy Floyd]

That (the 17th yellow) was an assault. Awful stuff from both teams in this game.

[Waffdon]

It’s hard not to love Carvajal :lol:

[Adramelch]

He plays the final if they reach it. Only way to miss the final is a red in the semis. Shindig

[-james-]

What a match

[Lewis]

That was a really good match. Germany look to Toni Kroos too much.

[Waffdon]

‘They’re the first team in history to be knock out of the QF that they host’

Might be the worst stat I’ve ever heard

[Shindig]

He plays the final if they reach it. Only way to miss the final is a red in the semis. Shindig

Thanks for clearing that up. It's snide enough for a two match ban, though.

[7om]

I haven’t seen a match this dirty since Michaels - Hart at Survivior Series 1997.

[Magic]

41 shots on goal. What's the gay xG stats on that fuckboys?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Pleased that Kroos goes out with failure. Never liked him. Proper SS look to him combined with smugness. Sorry purists.

[Shindig]

Dirtier than the 2010 final? Or the Argentina - Holland Quarter Final from the last World Cup?

[Jimmy Floyd]

The reason it was dirty was that Taylor set out from the first minute to let them get away with everything, the pitch was full of shitheads on both sides and the game completely got away from the referee. Really poor performance unfortunately.

[Baz]

I like how the red card means absolutely zero considering he was already suspended.

[Waffdon]

Pleased that Kroos goes out with failure. Never liked him. Proper SS look to him combined with smugness. Sorry purists.

Embarrassing haircut for a 40 year old.

Forgot Rabiot was ouT for France. That midfield looks much better now. lol at Ronaldo starting again. Saliba going to have the easiest game of his life

[Jimmy Floyd]

He plays the final if they reach it. Only way to miss the final is a red in the semis. Shindig

Wouldn't surprise me if he got retrospective violent conduct for that second yellow offence, if UEFA bother with such things, and a three-matcher. Deliberate assault to the face.

[Pepe]

Let him play.

[-james-]

Michael Oliver is on the next one btw

[Baz]

I think this will be the first game I’ve watched zero of live.

Ah well… Cmon you Saints.

[Pepe]

Good anthems.

[-james-]

Those are some huge cocks

[Yevrah]

I've still got ITV on and Gareth Southgate's interview is horrible shit. "People who understand football will see it". Gareth, fuck off.

[niko_cee]

41 shots on goal. What's the gay xG stats on that fuckboys?

1809295673382015107

[Jimmy Floyd]

Pourquoi manque-on les maillots bleus, ffs

One of Bob Ronaldo and Kevin Mbappe going home in tears makes this game a win-win.

[niko_cee]

This France set up looks horrendous.

[Magic]

1809295673382015107

I can't say I've ever cared about anything less.

[Waffdon]

Pepe is ridiculous. Proper turn of pace for 41 as well

[-james-]

I can't say I've ever cared about anything less.

You brought it up. Obsessed m8. Seething.

[SvN]

I can't say I've ever cared about anything less.
Then why ask the question, you retard?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Such a shit game.

[-james-]

Jose Fonte

[Magic]

You pricks never heard of tongue in cheek aye

[Magic]

10/10 dive.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ref BOOKED :harold:

[Pepe]

Best thing to happen in this match.

[Magic]

Fuck this is dreadful. Can England top this tomorrow?

[Shindig]

Lovely save.

[Baz]

1809311658134946025
:happycry:

[Pepe]

Hasn't been that bad. There has been like two chances.

[7om]

Shouldn’t that have been a penalty? The keeper has gone through the back of Ronaldo there.

[Lewis]

If Ronaldo hadn't been sent off Portugal would be well on top of this.

[niko_cee]

It is odd that a goalkeeper can go into a challenge like that, 2 feet, completely through the man and there not even be a question about it. Even Ronaldo gave up feigning being hurt.

[Pepe]

France should be down here. Luckily Portugal has yet to find one striker in their entire history.

[niko_cee]

France are horrendous. They might even be worse coached than England. Sort of hope they go through though as [1] Portugal are absolute rats and [2] it would be nice to see the technical brilliance of Spain run rings around France's team of athletes, although they'd probably bottle it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking hell.

[Magic]

France should be down here. Luckily Portugal has yet to find one striker in their entire history.

Where's their Emile Heskey that came off the bench and won them the Euros.

[niko_cee]

Is Ronaldo unsub-able?

[Waffdon]

France are horrendous. They might even be worse coached than England. Sort of hope they go through though as [1] Portugal are absolute rats and [2] it would be nice to see the technical brilliance of Spain run rings around France's team of athletes, although they'd probably bottle it.

France winning the whole thing makes sense. See: Italy, Portugal and Greece’s recent wins in the euros.

How is Ronaldo still up front. He is a literal fan from the crowd at this point

[-james-]

Fernandes off seems a bizarre call unless he's injured.

[7om]

Ronaldo has been piss poor tonight. I preferred him last game when he was having a meltdown and shooting from corners compared to this.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Murphy, mate, he's gone in recklessly and taken the man first. Shut up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That isn't a foul let alone a yellow.

[niko_cee]

It looked worse originally as there was an element of both feet being involved. Not for me though on review.

Mbappe barrel rolling is the problem though. Really need to get a handle on player behaviour around perceived fouls.

[Magic]

Please please please someone score.

[Waffdon]

That touch from silva was filth

[niko_cee]

And as I type that someone goes into a fifty fifty and starts rolling around like a twat.

[Spikey M]

Straight at the wall. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ronaldo has been piss poor tonight. I preferred him last game when he was having a meltdown and shooting from corners compared to this.
There's one.

[Waffdon]

Ronaldo :D

What sort of lunatic even attempts that sort of free kick from that angle

[-james-]

I think a few extra steps on the run up and he'd have scored.

[Waffdon]

He’s definitely scoring a tap in to win it now

[niko_cee]

It'd be interesting to know how he thinks that type of free kick would ever go in from there. He could have at least tried the old Roberto Carlos outside of the boot job.

[Spikey M]

Kante needs to stop shooting.

[Magic]

Pepe. :D

What a man.

[Waffdon]

Pepe :cool:

Fucking rapid

[Spikey M]

40 year old Pepe donning foot races in the 90th minute. What a specimen. :cool:

[SvN]

Pepe will be starting for Portugal when he's 50

[Lewis]

Do Portugal have some sort of sponsorship fix that says Ronaldo has to play like when Nike owned Brazil?

[Magic]

I love how Thuram was like lol this will be easy. Tosser.

[niko_cee]

Pepe at however many hundreds of years old he is really puts Ronaldo to shame. Completely worth his place.

[Waffdon]

He’s got to be on that Djokovic juice. Thuram is rapid and fresh off the bench

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ronaldo in this game has reminded me of Fred Couples or someone plodding around Augusta in his 60s, shooting 78 but adored by the punters all the same.

[Magic]

Eurgh.

[Lewis]

I was thinking Elton John slurring his way through Bennie and the Jets.

[7om]

Dog shit from France considering the talent available.

[Baz]

Gary Lineker with a joke about wanking. Yessss

[Spikey M]

Do Portugal have some sort of sponsorship fix that says Ronaldo has to play like when Nike owned Brazil?

You may well be right. Miles off the pace, dropping stinker after stinker, but somehow undropable

[Baz]

Jenas: WE NEED ANALYSIS ON BOTH GOALKEEPERS……… BOTH VERY GOOD

Shush now, the grownups are talking.

[Yevrah]

It's probably of benefit to the whole of Portugal and certainly to their FA that he continues to play for them. Same with Messi and Argentina.

[Baz]

Who else they gonna play? Gonçalo Ramos? :sick:

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's probably of benefit to the whole of Portugal and certainly to their FA that he continues to play for them. Same with Messi and Argentina.

Yep, absolutely years left in both.

[Magic]

Mbappe: *runs in to opposition and loses ball*
Danny Mills: "super feet"

[SvN]

Lmao

[Waffdon]

:lol:

Get him off for his own mental wellbeing

[Jimmy Floyd]

Cat-like reactions, if the cat had had a very large breakfast indeed.

[-james-]

How has this only been five minutes

[Waffdon]

Can’t believe dembele passed that there

[Magic]

We need a Pepe goal.

[Spikey M]

Dembele could have scored the goal of the tournament there. Or missed. Obviously.

[7om]

Pepe to score the winning penalty kick please

[niko_cee]

At least this is good desensitisation therapy for the England game tomorrow.

[Magic]

What are France doing here for the love of Christ. Press the fucking ball.

[Pepe]

The finishing has been appalling.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Southgate's probably got this on silent in the team hotel with a bit of Serge Gainsbourg playing over the top to really get him in the mood.

Ah, je t'aime...

[Pepe]

Is Giroud still a thing? He would have a hat trick by now.

[Manc]

France one shy of a Mandingo eleven. Theo Hernandez destined to miss a penalty.

[niko_cee]

This is just hideous. Send them both home and give the Germans another run at Spain in the semi.

Even the pundits are in on it praising Ronaldo's movement. :face:

Ah, it's the pitch's fault.

[Spikey M]

"This movement is the best we have ever seen".

Put some adverts on ffs. Borrow some from ITV. I don't care, just stop talking.

[Magic]

Why is Ronaldo sitting down like that? Freak.

[Manc]

Mbappe has bottled it.

[7om]

Mbappe coming off :D

Fucking bottler

[SincereTheRebel]

Mbappe has bottled it.

He a pussy'o

[Ben]

Mbappe :lol:

[Spikey M]

I'd go to bed but I don't want to miss Ronaldo crying for the last time.

[Waffdon]

Mbappe has bottled it.

Been tragic all tournament

Calling a bloke who scored 3 penalties in a World Cup final a bottler is certainly a take though

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've learned a lot in this game, the biggest thing being that Nuno Mendes and Nelson Semedo are different people. Also watched back the highlights of the Euro '84 clash between the two, which, yeah, bit better.

[Browning]

So that’s 2 Portugal knock out games in a row that have basically been their match from the Simpsons….

[Magic]

Been tragic all tournament

Calling a bloke who scored 3 penalties in a World Cup final a bottler is certainly a take though

He lost.

[Waffdon]

He lost.

Not in ‘18

[Jimmy Floyd]

How about Roberto Martinez to replace Southgate? That would get the Yevcopter airborne.

[Pepe]

I really hope that Spain puts four past either of these two atrocious teams.

[Spikey M]

Did Fance not watch Portugals last penalty shootout?

[-james-]

I'll be seething if some Eder regen pops up and robs us of penalties.

[Waffdon]

Dembele might not have an end product but at least he’s fun to watch.

[Yevrah]

How about Roberto Martinez to replace Southgate? That would get the Yevcopter airborne.

I'd actually like someone good, but I'd take Martinez over Southgate all day long.

[Spikey M]

Dembele might not have an end product but at least he’s fun to watch.

Like Andros Townsend.

[Waffdon]

Like Andros Townsend.

I don’t think he ever took a man on in his life. Cut inside and shoot from 30 yards over and over

[niko_cee]

Is there any evidence that Ronaldo remains good at heading or is it just an assumption based on him being useless at everything else?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What the fuck is Fofana doing there?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

lol, Portugal one upping France there.

[Spikey M]

No idea how that's ended 0-0.

[Magic]

Thank fuck for that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That t-shirt :D

[Pepe]

How can not a single one of these players shoot?

[Pepe]

These commentators talking about extra time as if the Spain Germany game didn't just happen.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Please fuck it Misstiano Penaldo.

[Magic]

Calling it; Diogo won't save any pens.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Lineker moans about extra time every time it happens. He's probably got a sex dungeon booked for 10.30.

[Lewis]

His coconuts aren't past it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That run should be illegal.

[Pepe]

Old Ronaldo > Old Messi

[Spikey M]

Old Pepe > *

[Pepe]

Old Pepe > *

What a man. :cool:

Hopefully he shoots the winner.

[Waffdon]

Did not expect that from Kounde at all. What a penalty with that run up

[Waffdon]

Felix missing

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

João Felix lol.

Little boy.

[Waffdon]

Felix missing

Very obvious

[Lewis]

He must be the biggest piss 'n' wind merchant of his generation that lad.

[Spikey M]

Lol. Give me the Ronaldo tears. 'Mon

[Waffdon]

This bloke might miss as well though

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mendes is missing.

[Lewis]

He looks confident.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a penalty.

[Waffdon]

Full backs love a penalty. Unreal

[Magic]

All awesome penalties.

[Waffdon]

All 3 penalties from the full backs were perfection

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Show me the crybaby.

[Magic]

No tears because he didn't miss. What a prick.

[Lewis]

I hope Spain beat these boring bastards.

[Pepe]

Can't score for shit in the field but scored all the PKs. Fair play.

[Yevrah]

A France vs. England final might be the worst game in all of human history. Deschamps and Southgate must have pictures of each other on their walls.

[niko_cee]

Good pens and good riddance to Portugal. Bad night in Kiko towers, hopefully it doesn't continue tomorrow.

[7om]

If Spain pump these wankers by 5 goals or more they can have Gibraltar.

France can fuck off with this shit.

[Yevrah]

Penalties are not a lottery Rio, you fucking idiot.

[Pepe]

Calling it; Diogo won't save any pens.

:cool:

[Spikey M]

Cry you wanker. :moop:

[Manc]

João for now.

[niko_cee]

:cool:

He did also call this:


France one shy of a Mandingo eleven. Theo Hernandez destined to miss a penalty.

[Pepe]

Read those names again mate.

[niko_cee]

Ah, yes.

I did re-read them and all as well. :/

[Pepe]

Pepe tears is not what we wanted. :(

[7om]

Feel genuinely sorry for Don Pepe. He’s been great.

[niko_cee]

Got to say, on the Southgate front, his latest media thing is a real tour de force.

Even in his mad world:


So lots of nations who we might perceive as English people to be smaller have far better records than us in terms of winning things, in getting to the latter stages in finals.

Is clearly rubbish.

[Spikey M]

Got to say, on the Southgate front, his latest media thing is a real tour de force.

Even in his mad world:



Is clearly rubbish.

That quote reads like it was originally written in hieroglyphics before being translated into English by a French man.

[Yevrah]

He talks absolute shit. Constantly.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Penalties are not a lottery Rio, you fucking idiot.

It's mad that every pundit, player etc etc parrot this.

If it were true England (and Spain) wouldn't have lost so many.

There's so much mentally to a penalty shootout.

[Magic]

He did also call this:

:mad:

[niko_cee]

Apologies to all involved.

[Magic]

It's ok Nik*

[Lewis]

Penalties are not a lottery Rio, you fucking idiot.

The best bit was when Crisps said why he was wrong, and then he went 'Yeah you're right but I mean as in...' and then clearly hadn't taken any of what he just heard on board.

[-james-]

What does lottery mean in this context?
