The Euro 2024 Thread

Easily that long, maybe even 15 years.

Roberto Carlos was the same before him. Lording over them for Real while they had Figo, Zidane and Beckham watching on.

Saw a great clip the other day of Ronaldinho sneaking in and knocking one in top corner whilst Carlos was pacing out his ridiculous run up. Surprised someone like Fernandes hasn't done that tonight, I'd back to him have tested Oblak more on any of the efforts Ronaldo has tried tonight.

Direct free kick goals are dying. Still none in this tournament (?) Way down in the Prem last season too, amazing that clubs still persist with them rather than trying something more intricate.

Whatever happened to the biannual ‘tournament ball is a beach ball’ complaints as free kicks weaved in?

Is this a better or worse performance by Portugal than us against Slovenia?

They've passed it way better than we did but a similar lack of real threat

They're self inflicting a problem by playing 10 men and a footballing pensioner

Portugal's forward line is pretty static. No-one making runs or creating space. Easy to defend really.

I love Jota, genuinely think he could play as a makeshift ball winning midfielder.

Man's more finished than Antti Niemi.

Caged tiger? He acts like a caged tiger, plays like a pussy...

I’ll just have to pretend I used to get worked up about it even more regularly than others!

It's games like this when I wish there was a Golden Goal

It might be amusing if it goes to penalties and Ronaldo is the player that misses and costs Portugal the game. Just sayin'

 

[Lupo]

I'm in the odd position that I want Portugal to win but not for him to score

Just as they get a penalty that he will take and score...

 

[ROVERT47]

Jammy bastards.

 

[Squeak]

When does Fabio come on?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

"That's very harsh"

Is it fuck, it's a definite penalty!

He's about to get an early opportunity.

 

[Tony Towner]

Just fuck off with that

Nice dive Diogo

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Would be hilarious if he misses.
