The Euro 2024 Thread

I don't understand why they're talking about that penalty as being controversial or because of a new law. That'd be a penalty in any game I've seen in 30 odd years

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not sure it's jammy really, just late.

*resists urge to get on "all results are deserved" soapbox*

It's fortunate in that they offered literally nothing and played awful football throughout

Italy vs Switzerland confirmed

As opposed to Croatia who offered less (statistically)?

As stated earlier, they'll get found out soon enough if they keep on as they have been going.

Get the beers opened. England officially into the last 16 now.

 

[Alan]

Comms here talking that this is the first Italy squad since the late 80s to not feature any Juve players? Bonkers if true.

 

[Tony Towner]

Echoes of Mainoo at Molineux in terms of a gutting last minute goal. Jammy buggers.

Without the spinless captain shitting out of a tackle

 

[Jack Regan]

Chiesa is a Juve player.

Chiesa is a Juve player.

Never trust a Rupert Murdoch channel.

@Tony Towner tbh the answers I get from y'all are far more entertaining than what Google would give me.

 

[Lupo]

Cambiaso. Fagioli and Gatti too

 

[Alan]

Jeez, I'm stupid I get it!

 

[The Bear]

Jeez, I'm stupid I get it!

Not stupid, just gullible!

 

[Alan]

Two things can be true.

So just had a quick look at our group. If we can only manage a draw against Serbia then a win by 2 goals or more would see either of Denmark or Slovenia top the group on GD. And we'd then play Germany in the next round.

So Southgate can't go negative and play for the draw really. Which he will do any way.....

Except we aren't playing Serbia

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He won't play for a draw will he, don't be silly

Serbia can't overtake us

Slovenia can only overtake us if they win

What a night, been at the Leverkusen bar, with fans from England, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Scotland.
Zero trouble to a point we all forgot who’s round it was, excuse me if I’m incoherent in any way but loving being a travelling fan abroad again. Locals have been incredibly helpful and patient.

 

[Sniffer]

Not counting any chickens but a win tonight will see us play a 3rd place team from Groups D, E or F. The winner of that clash will have a quarter final against Italy or Switzerland.

 

[Del Woppio]

One thing you can definitely say about Southgate is that he always gets himself on the nice side of the draw.

The BBC Sport Page has a picture of a family in Cologne today ahead of tonight's game. I hope that they are happy to have their mugshots shown to the nation as the fines for unauthorised absences from school are going through the roof.

If your child has unauthorised leave of absence prior to the end of the summer term in 2024 and a penalty notice is deemed necessary, there will be a Penalty Notice of £120 per parent per child (discounted to £60 if paid within 21 days), or, your case will be referred by the Local Authority directly to the Magistrates’ Court.

£120 per parent per child?! Blimey. My daughter is missing school tomorrow to go and watch Hamilton...
