(+) Yeah! (+)

Ouch. Own goal. >_>

---

man is this the tournament of own goals

---

So many World Cup and Champions League winners on the pitch.
It's like watching some international All-Star game, only the result matters.

---

I've had some marvelous fantasy picks this round but Hummels is not doing me any favors, nor is Coman being on the bench.

---

Bare Ricochets.

I really like seeing France germany and Portugal in the same group. If Spain or england were in instead of Hungary itd be even better. just make it a bloodbath. yes. bloodbath. But then 3 of them still make it out of the group stage which kinda makes the whole thing less impactful anyway

This. 2 teams are SUPPOSED to go home from every group!

---

I wouldn't call this the best game of the Euro so far, but it's definitely and clearly the game with the most good players on the pitch.

---

Jesus christ, what they do now with offside is so frustrating

The 3-2 Holland thriller the other night is up there

---

Come on now dont let an own goal be the only real goal in this match!

We'd have more chance of seeing groups like that if they didn't increase to 24 teams. In turn meaning that 3 teams from the same group can get to knockout stage. It's a farce imo.

BLATANT fix, Ref on the take.


---

Great result

---

Griezmann/Pogba play so much better for the national team.
French defense is already good, Kante/Rabiot in front and with the forwards putting in a shift too?
Liking what I'm seeing early on.

---

Looks like they may have the draw in their favour as well if the go on and win the group.

---

France were meant to win by more but a fiddle ensured they didn't

---

Don't see a team besides Italy who have looked anywhere near France tbh. That final would be fuckin dynamite.

---

I'd say Belgium was up there with Italy and France, but yeah, that has been the top.


---

All 3 are likely to end up on the same side of the bracket. Belgium and Italy to potentially meet in the last 8 with the winner going on to face France.

---

Classic finish, isn't it?

---

Turkey's defence in this game look shocking.

---

Get in there Ramsey!

---

Too tense to say much about the match in here.

My biggest complaint is the BBC talking more about England than Wales or Turkey during halftime.

Agree with everything here

It has joined Roberto Baggio's penalty from 94 World Cup final

---

Fight look like it was gonna break out

---

Three yellows.


---

Christ that was stressful. Shocked we won that, really proud of us for doing so well so far in a tough group. Another away game next but if we can nick a draw against Italy and finish second that'd give us a chance to go even further. Lovely to see Robbo score at the end too.

---

Fucking yes.

---

Man, I've got no hair left. Fair play to Bale for picking himself up after the penalty miss and putting the match to bed!

---

I liked the Bale/Ramsey goal more than Schick's

---

Where did Italy rank among betting favourites prior to the tournament?
They've had a good record heading into this.

Locatelli isn't going to be staying in Sassuolo for long.

---

From the stuff i watched prior to the tournament a lot of people were picking them to do well. I think they're the best bet to stopping France.

---

Italy look really scary. Kinda hoping they phone it in against us in the last game and I'm glad they thrashed Switzerland so our goal difference is more favourable.

---

I need the third spot team of Group A to do well, otherwise we're (Belgium) pretty much guaranteed to play the third team from group F.

---

Wales need a 3 goal swing to go against them to not finish second now. Wouldn't be surprised if they still field a strong side though as they seem pretty damn proud of that clean sheet run.

---

Would still favour Belgium and England over Italy.
But come World Cup Italy should be ready to win it all.

Especially if those injured players like Zaniolo come back in good form.

I expect kerfufffle at the Eng-Sco

I wonder if they called guards up to the border in advance

---

Denmark are looking incredible in these opening exchanges.

---

Kom igen Danskjvlar! (Translation: Lets go you danish ****s)

---

If anyone doubted that we lost to Finland because of the situation.

We're moving on!!

---

I have a feeling if this is level close to full time they'll play out the draw. Belgium remain top and it gives Denmark a winner takes all match with Russia.

---

There's still an enormous amount of time left here today, but Belgium has been a favourite or dark horse at every tournament for like a decade and has basically nothing to show for it other than a 3rd in 2018. At some point you gotta do something.

---

Me and my wife both feel invested in the Danes as we both witnessed the horror from the other day!

Go !
