João Cancelo’s form has fallen off a cliff. From world class to complete bang average. Dalot should be starting.
Day 9 | Georgia vs Czechia | Turkey vs Portugal | Belgium vs Romania

Ref may have thought the follow through was dangerous but still defo not yellow card worthy. At worst, give them the FK but the card was OTT
Two goals scored but only an added minute.
She's actually very good at explaining what happened. She's meant for people who have little clue about the game.
Quite the contrary. He rotates free kicks with teammates way more often nowadays., specially when they are on the right side of the pitch.
What’s her name?
Yeah that wasn't worded correctly. *Wasn't deserving of a yellow.
Only heard her once or twice as I have comms muted most of the time, but it's got to be better than Peter Walton chiming in with "my mate on the field is right" (whether he is or not) every time they go to him.
Pretty sure he only got carded for dissent.
So she explained that the ref got it wrong twice and then went on to say that it was because he couldn't see it . Great .
Pundits?
This is getting spicy. Hoping for some more goals by Portugal to really kick things off.
Dunno, will effort that.
That was not a foul. He clearly aimed at the ball and got it, with both his feet pointing at the gound.
Leao made a meal of it and this ref sucks.
A goal from Turkey might make things more fun.
They're included in the people who don't have clue.

Should just stick to “hawk tuah”
Well, we have now scored 4 goals in this Euro, 2 of them were own goals.
She's certainly winding up a certain type of viewer. Can only be a positive thing.
Here's a radical idea - why don't we have neither? Football audiences aren't thick. We can survive fine without a refereeing 'expert' chiming into the comms.
I know that, just tried to explain it from his POV
I hate horse jockeys.
Well that escalated quickly.
OG for Golden Boot 
I mean not her fault that they bring her in to commentate on the most banal situation. Just very random. The regular commentators don't need any 'expert insight' on that one.
Nah, I think it's worth having, especially for an international tournament where there are going to be more casual/new viewers than usual.
In most games I'd keep their input to fairly niche decisions though, probably.
I'm a logical conclusion kinda guy. Incremental othering is tedious.
Very much agreed. Cancelo has been horrible. Santos would easily bench him but he's part of Martinez clique.
I was told last week right here I know nothing about football. I guess I've just been coming to this forum for over 15 years to put up a front and I didn't learn anything.
You really know feck all.
You'll get the people moaning you're being sexist/racist/americanist on you know
Yet when almost everyone agreed how pointless having ex refs on for their opinion, no one moaned then.
Nice jibe, but I couldn't give a feck what sex she is. I have said the same thing about Peter Whalton in the past. It's painful seeing broadcasters treat their audiences like they're thick.

Was it actually black american woman? I really hope my old man is not watching ITV, it'll kill him.
