    A bit late to the party, but football was definitely better before (fuck off phonics). What I loved about my man Cuauhtemoc was how he got to move all over the pitch doing whatever the fuck he wanted, just putting lobbed through balls into the box over and over. You don't get to do that shit anymore. You had a ton of players like that. The big lumps who would just stand around waiting for a cross. The wingers that could do nothing but cross the ball. Midfielders only there to break legs. And on and on. You could tell how a team would play based on who their star player was. Players today might be even better technically, but they spend 95% of their efforts pressing, tracking back, etc. Tactical discipline is king.

    Fwiw, it was probably even better in the 70s/80s. A few gifted players running circles around a bunch of hacks.

    Then again, I don't watch football anymore, so what do I know.

    Commentator calling Pepe 'Pep.' It might be technically correct in Portugese; but he's been called Pepe in English for the last decade, why suddenly change now?

    Whoa, those Hungarians behind the goal are packed. Has Hungary eradicated COVID? Should they have just hosted the whole thing in Budapest?

    I love Ronaldo immediately looking to the linesman after skying that sitter, desperately hoping for a flag.

    That's three times Danilo has flung himself to the deck. Pathetic. Such an unlikable side.

    Yep, and Hungary are actually growing into it.

    They need to bring on the boy Joao Felix.

    Hartson claiming "I don't know if that actually hit his hand"

    It's not a penalty but it clearly did.

    That rule has changed I believe. You can't give a penalty and a red for denying a clear chance, unless the player doesn't make an attempt to go for the ball.
    @Manc: He's now the first scorer in Euro history. He would celebrate that hard regardless cause it's Ronaldo, but here it's at least justified.

    I thought it looked offside as well.

    That was some collapse from Hungary having looked solid for the whole second half. Especially given that goal difference is huge in that third place table.

    I've seen a couple of people mention a possible "upset" if Germany win, yet Bet365 have them as favourites. What's the narrative here?

    What’s the theory behind waiting so long for the linesman’s flag there? The flag will go up eventually so why not straight away?
