Euro 2020

[jd1981]

Brain dead tackle from Alaba

Penalty to the Netherlands.

FIFY.

Excellent penalty by Depay.

VAR continuing to be well used and a VAR assisted penalty awarded to the Dutch as a result.

Should have booked the Dutchman for diving IMO.

Don't think its allowed to do that, plus its a pretty clear penalty IMO.

I agree. Adama Traore against Arsenal was similar but he ended up without a penalty and a booking!

Penalty to Holland

As Jack pointed out, did only half of the country get the penalty?

To be fair its only taken the BBC and ITV 40 odd years to stop doing it. Every tournament I can recall they've referred to them as Holland.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The thirty years war never gets taught in English schools. A great shame as it is a hugely rich and important part of history.

Tifo podcast were talking about this before the tournament and there's a reason why the football team are called Holland rather than Netherlands, can't remember what it was though

Going away to do some homework.

 

[Jack Regan]

That's something of a sitter missed by Depay.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Going away to do some homework.

I can recommend some excellent books.

So here's the stupid format again.

North Macedonia can't finish above 4th whatever happens due to H2H.

It should be winner takes all for Austria vs Ukraine as they're on the same points and same GD going into the last game. But it won't be, because they both know that a draw guarantees at least third AND you're essentially not going to get knocked out on four points.

So guess what will happen?

Stop creating 24 team tournaments.

20,000 Scots have apparently travelled to London ahead of the match. I’d say they’ll struggle to watch the game, which they probably will if they’ve started drinking already.

Fat Les have a Best Of album???

 

[jd1981]

Trafalgar Square has been used for key workers, only option is piling into pubs and bars. Again tho you can’t all just stand watching the game.
If there was a big fan park fair enough but just seems a waste of time.

 

[jd1981]

Even better I’m on a course in central London tomorrow, thankfully I’m driving in thought wise not to use public transport in the morning especially if Scotland win.

I think there was Vindaloo 2002 & Vindaloo 2018 too.
