What is Neves doing attempting an overhead kick there, that should be a yellow for dangerous play.

This is the thanks he gives to Martinez for being his puppet. That's why I said he should retired from the National team already. He thinks it's his team, not the country's team.
They could have dropped him. Similar to Raul with Spain

How are people saying it's not a pen. He clearly touched him.
People are saying it shouldn’t be a pen because giving someone a high chance of a goal because they got slightly touched is bollocks. No way that slightest brush of contact made him go down.

Dunno how Martinez keeps getting these jobs. Failed with Belgium's golden generation. About to do the same with Portugal’s.

English clubs ready to pay 60 millions :lol: I just laugh at Benfica propaganda. It's on par with the Israeli

So pleased for Georgia, they've been so skillful and inventive this tournament, the opposite for England and France. Austria and Georgia have been a joy to watch.

Watching Gerogia's first game in the group I was stunned at what can be done.

So if Georgia win and Turkey don't lose to Czech am I correct in saying we'll (England) face Georgia in the ro16 ?

This team will give us problems.

If the Czech score who is third placed? They would have the same goal difference as Georgia at 4:4 and the direct tie was a draw.

At least one country with a red cross on a white flag is decent at this football gig

But it's been like that since the late 80s. Portugal of all countries should know.

I warned before the Euro that I found Portugal overrated. This team is not serious. They are more worried about Ronaldo getting records than playing as a team. We will only evolve when he's gone. Him and Jorge Mendes.

The threshold has definitely lowered in recent years. It’s a contact sport. Legs are going to touch legs but it needs to be more than a little tap like that to give someone a penalty. Sometimes if a player has momentum a little tap is all it takes but that was not one of them.
