Day 5: Hungary vs Portugal | France vs Germany

Who's that number 20 for Germany.... picked surely down to his resemblance to Low's favourite ever player Lukas Podolski surely, bet he deep down wanted to pick him again really.
 
Ref forcing them off the pitch for concussion controls. As if playing with a man less isn't going to force them to put him back on even if he's concussed. Twat.
 
Tbh this group might genuinely have the 3 best teams in the tournament in it. Italy, England, Belgium and Spain are all good but I don't think any of them are on par with the 3 here.
 
Yeah he's run into blind alleys and lost the ball multiple times in front of his defence multiple times.

Yeah thats in his "off the boil" periods. When he's fully fit he usually takes them on and beat them, when he's slightly off, he loses the ball there. For France Varane is much better at brining the ball out in those areas so he rarely needs to drop that deep, whereas for us he gets in trouble when he's the deepest midfielder playing around under pressure with Lindelof and wan Bissaka. Sometimes I feel for the poor bloke.
 
Once again concussion is taken so lightly.
It is almost like cops asking you to walk in a straight line for DUI checking. Hey!! You can walk, that's good enough.
 
Not a knee in the face, surely?

Both players are going for the ball. If Gosens had his leg extended with his studs up it's a different story. Not every bit of physical play is a red card. We'll note that the players on the pitch didn't think it was a red.
 
Not a fan of this formation for France much at all. Feels like they’ve gone for this to fit Benz, Griezmann, and Mbappe into a side but it doesn’t quite seem to fit any of them

Yup. How are teams supposed to give a feck if not even the referees care about player safety? Ref was more concerned with the player being taken off the pitch than properly examined.
