    Do you not have to be in control of your body movements for it not to be reckless/dangerous play? Yeah he got the ball and it was a clearance, but his foot still goes through and studs the bloke in an uncontrolled manner.

    It can be a red card even if he didn't mean to stud him.

    No chance was it actually a red, but referees are obliged now to pull out the red whenever someone gets a bad injury like that. Son against the guido from Everton, for example. Gets rescinded immediately but it's like some vengeance instinct kicks in on the part of the refs.

    I was in camp Lineker last night but I've changed my mind having seen it again.

    The only reason he goes in for the clearance that aggressively and at that height is because he wants to beat the opposing player to the ball. It's as clear cut a red as can possibly exist. The Ukranian hasn't teleported there out of nowhere as some have suggested.

    I agree that it's a red card, but on the same criteria the Ukrainian kicking Berg's head into the ground during ET deserves at least a yellow if not more.

    The Swiss have done around 2000 more miles than Wales yet they took out France and aren't moaning.

    They're also adding more to that mileage as they're travelling from Bucharest to St Petersburg via their base camp in Rome.

    That game and its paraphernalia really did unlock the top tier of wanker (the whole tournament has, to be honest). There was a good one from a north London blue tick going around earlier about the game should have been forfeited when the German anthem was booed.

    I propose a total ban on watching sport at all if you do it fewer than 10 times a year.

    They could certainly do with finding better things to put their money to.

    But then anybody calling a child a nazi or a slag to anybody who happens to have them on social media probably wants putting down as well so I guess mongery begets mongery.

    As for the anthem thing, it's obviously the behaviour of a tit but I bet more people here care about it than they do in Germany given it's only a 'rivalry' in the minds of the sort of people who think they'd have loved to be at Dunkirk.

    All the OUR GREATEST RIVALS stuff about Germany is as cringeworthy as when the Scots think we care about playing them outside the 90 minutes when we're doing it.

    There are loads of weird one-sided rivalries in Europe. We have a thing for Germany. They have a thing for Italy, as do Spain, for some reason. Italy are more bothered about France, while the Dutch join us in being focused on the Germans.

    The Germans pretend that the Dutch are their main rivals because the Dutch have beat them enough (although not when it actually mattered) to balance the historical winner/loser dynamic out enough for them to both participate in it (see also: Germany perma-seething about never beating Italy).

    It went unremarked upon at the time, but Spain changed into their home strip to lift the World Cup that they had just won in their away strip. Maybe that was the start of it.

    I saw this yesterday and it was around £600 and I thought that alone was ridiculous. Now it's £16k, and the bloke hasn't even made contact with that family.

    If some random 50 year old on the internet suddenly comes to me after trawling through social media to find my daughter and give her money, I'd be thoroughly weirded out. Fucking mental behaviour.

    Switzerland need to fuck off. This Spain team seems so average though.

    It really is all or nothing for Italy/Belgium as the main blocker to England walking this.

    What a strange take.

    You would rather a team that pass sideways for 90% of a game go through?

    France v Switzerland was the best game I've seen for maybe 15 years. A proper barnstormer and the cuckoo clock crowd played their full part. They're a boring nation but they have a decent side.

    Oops.

    That's one of those ones that is technically a red (for the reasons Peter Walton gave on comms), but feels harsh because it doesn't threaten to maim him.

    Toblerones might as well go all out to win it now.

    It actually looked a lot worse on live play. I expected VAR to overturn the decision, but now that I think about it, is that even a possibility?

    Have a feeling that the Swiss will try and keep it tight for penalties but concede late to send them home.

    If slide tackling remains a legal aspect of the game, they can’t be sending players off for outcomes like that.
