    Yeah potentially Turkey and then Romania. Lolz

    Slovakia have been sucked into a bit of Tournament Football this half. You see yourself on 4 points from 2 and you suck yourself back onto the edge of the area.

    Dubravka falling asleep there, though it was a great effort by Yaremchuk.

    All this needs now is a Belgium win to have every team on 3 points going into the last game.

    Semi final exit to France, what more can you expect [!] and we're doomed to this cycle FOREVER.

    Austria look really good on the ball and a complete mess off it.

    Both sides have to win really so could be a good game.

    Is it me or does virtually every single counter attack in this tournament end with a shitty final pass? It's either overhit or behind the player.

    Edit: On replay, that pass was decent, maybe a tad late if anything.

    Hopefully Netherlands beat France to top spot. Italy is preferable to Germany/Spain.

    Clinton Morrison was commentating on the game at 2 on the radio. If terminal cancer was a noise, his voice would be it.

    You don’t often see a goalie dive the wrong way on a shot from open play that wasn’t deflected.

    Outrageous that Szczesny is not sent off there. Clear professional foul, he had no intention of going anywhere near the ball.

    Justice done.

    Big for goal difference as well for Austria, though I can very well see them getting a draw against the Dutch (where I guess the GD could also factor in giving them second place).

    Dutch win over France tonight would set up a great last day in this group. Either way, pretty sure one of the third place qualifiers will be from this section.

    Probably just a coincidence but Poland immediately became worse the moment Lewandowski came on.

    It's not a coincidence. He's a lumbering old hack who should retire (from this), holding the young attackers back.

    If France win, I’m not so sure. Think France win and that means Austria and Netherlands have a shoot out. Potentially one of them loses out in 3rd on 3 points.

    They might sneak in but I can see 3 spots at least with 4 points in 3rd

    If Rooney told you that he used to be good at football, you would think that he means doing stupid side-steps in a playground, not that he was an international footballer.

    Rangnick + most players played under him before +/or most players having played together for a leipzig at one point, seems to serve them well.
