Day 13 | Slovakia vs Romania + Ukraine vs Belgium | Czech Republic vs Turkey + Georgia vs Portugal

[kouroux]

Shoot the fecking ball

 

[Charlie Foley]

SHOOT motherfecker

 

[utdalltheway]

That was never a peno for Romania.

 

[ManUtd1999]

No one can finish in this Euro. It’s time for the big man, Mr. Own Goal, to show up.

Some of them aren't even shooting

 

[JJ12]

This tournament started nicely but gone a bit flat I think

 

[Rob]

Danish commentator just mentioned that only three Belgian players played CL in the previous season.

That’s some drop off from the Golden generation.

 

[calodo2003]

Yeah, knockout matches can't come soon enough.

 

[Kirk lazarus]

Belgium ate just asking to get belgiumed

 

[utdalltheway]

Belgium must be taking football lessons from England

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Surely UEFA must've known the addition of 3rd placed teams going through was going to create more boring games in the final group game fixture. I'm guessing they didn't care as long as it made them more money.

 

[Offside]

So poor from Belgium

 

[BarryWinks]

The quality of shooting at this euros has been appalling. Too many times I've seen players shoot over from 20 yards out under little to no pressure.

Wondering if this is related to fatigue after the long season? Or uefa fecked with the ball?

 

[ManUtd1999]

Some of them aren't even shooting

Some don’t shoot, some look for birds to hit, some just pass the ball to the goalkeeper, some barely touch the ball when they “shoot”. The state of attacks in this tournament.

 

[Kirk lazarus]

I love Rooney , but that hair definitely came from below the waist .

 

[ManUtd1999]

100% true.

It’s not about fatigue. There are simply no great attacking players in most teams. I don’t recall anything like this.

 

[Avatar]

Some of its episodes are straight up racist though

The earliest one, The Congo adventure, but different times and wasn't intended in malice. Herge himself apologized for it.

Yeah, the state of forward play in football is as poor as I can ever remember.

 

[moses]

Unreal unashamed overt racism.

 

[ManUtd1999]

Yeah, the state of forward play in football is as poor as I can ever remember.

I came to this tournament expecting defenses not to be good as I don’t think that we have great/elite defensive players in the world.

The poor build up and even poorer finishing is not something that I expected. Shots miss the net by yards for absolutely no reason.

 

[Big Andy]

Stop with the pants.

"Pants by itself has of course continued in US English to refer to trousers, but in British English, pants is used most often to refer to what Americans call underpants"

Pants are fecking trousers. Underpants are undies, grundies or boxers.

 

[Reditus]

I can’t put a name to the face of the the guy on BBC.

 

[Demyanenko_square_jaw]

Dovbyk must be one of the least talented players to score over 20 goals in one season in La Liga history.

 

[Brophs]

Phil Foden sure does have a lot of kids for a 12 year old.

 

[giorno]

Anybody knows the astral configurations of the KO bracket? Who plays who with these results? Is it possible Italy will make the final by playing swiss, dutchies, and romania?

 

[VorZakone]

Dovbyk must be one of the least talented players to score over 20 goals in one season in La Liga history.

Yeah, he's...extremely underwhelming.

 

[DJ_21]

Imagine going out on 4 pts but teams are going through on 3 pts. Harsh.

 

[giorno]

Dovbyk must be one of the least talented players to score over 20 goals in one season in La Liga history.

Yeah Girona were something else. Pretty much any striker in the league would have scored 20+ for them, though Dovbik was good in fairness. Also Sorloth somehow scored buckets. Just a weird season

Everything is shown there. Italy - Swiss winner plays England vs *** winner.

 

[kouroux]

The earliest one, The Congo adventure, but different times and wasn't intended in malice. Herge himself apologized for it.

Of course he would apologize. He'd have been mad not to. Even the one in Shanghai is the same. Obvious racism.
Don't get me wrong, I like some its episodes, great adventures but it is what it is

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Imagine going out on 4 pts but teams are going through on 3 pts. Harsh.

I still haven't gotten over us going out of the CL group stage with 9 points when other teams went through with far fewer points.

 

[ManUtd1999]

They could play England in the QF. Austria is a potential opponent in the SF. They could play some of the teams that you mentioned.

 

[Sarni]

Ukraine are out right now, correct?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

I can’t put a name to the face of the the guy on BBC.

Jose Fonte?

 

[ManUtd1999]

Ukraine are out right now, correct?

Yes.

 

[Lyricist]

You're only saying this because of that England group we saw last night. Just prior to that Austria beat the Netherlands 3-2 and there was the Croatia Italy drama. It's been great aside of group C.

Too floaty that

 

[Tony247]

Lukaku being clueless in the box

To be fair, the Scotland Hungary game was herroundous. The Italy Croatia game was a tough watch as well. Only last minute drama made tuning in not a complete waste of time.
