Round of 16 | Switzerland vs Italy | Germany vs Denmark

Far from convincing from Germany despite their comfortable scoreline. I think Spain will win the tournament.
 
Looks like my 3-0 prediction might be on. I'm pissed off about how they got the first one though.
 
Difference in quality with the keeping there. Earlier in the game, Neuer came out to smother a Hojlund chance. With that goal just then, Schmeichel backs off instead of doing the same.
 
Football should introduce the equivalent of the field hockey corner for these handballs. Awarding a hand ball like that with a penalty is like sending someone to jail for 50 years for smoking pot.
Yup. I would give a freekick from 25m or something like that
 
Of course Denmark gets theirs chalked off and Germany are given a dodgy penalty, its in Germany. Can't have the hosts being knocked out just yet.

The game has become a joke. Fekin "snickometer"...this isn't cricket. Its not a hard cricket ball hitting a solid piece of wood and how in the hell can they take that single piece of sound out of a packed stadium? Absolute bullshit.

And the stop-start run up to the penalty. It quite clearly states in the rules that you can't do it, so how can they stop a match to analyse the minutest detail like a handball, but they can't fekin see a player stop-start his run up to a penalty?? It should be flagged, every, single time

It's the inconsistency that's killing football.
 
Again Schmeichel. He’s more passive than Lindelof out there today.
 
Denmark completely deflated given how this 2nd half has developed. Understandable.
 
It was legit offside and legit penalty, and i feel horrible for the guy. but some of you are too emotional
 
Oh well, back to carrington Rasmus. Try and nab ruud for some finishing practice.
 
It really feels like Michael Oliver is very important for Germany to win now. It is not easy to understand that he gave a penalty kick, where the ball from 0.5 meters away is shot hard onto an arm. And he has given almost all 50/50 situations to the Germans. I hate Michael Oliver as a referee and have always thought he was miserable.
 
Or severely limited, it hangs over every major event in the game and removes the immediacy of the emotions tied to those events.

I'm sure the idea was to eliminate howiers not ruie out goals that are millimetres offside.
 
Shocking defending at this level. Long ball forward, clear through on goal. Terrible.

Good pace and finish from Musiala though.

Derek Rae going nuts on Fox, using the word “generational”. It was a pretty simple run and finish :lol: . Good player but calm down.
 
Denmark had been kind of tiring anyway. Still pushed high up the field, but not having the pressing to back it up anymore, you can't leave players like Schlotterbeck open like that when there's space behind your back line.
 
Great goal that, Denmark were chasing the ball at midfield for a good 10 passes, Germany decides to pass it back and lure Denmark in and they ran right into the trap.

Ah he clearly is a generational talent. Funnily enough though I think tonight is the first time I’ve watched a game where he hasn’t by a mile looked the best player in the pitch.

Andersen fell asleep for a moment and you can’t afford that against a player like Musiala.

I wouldn't call him generational, that seems to be a commentators favourite word at the moment, but you know if you give Musiala that kind of chance he will very likely put it in the net.
