The Euro 2024 Thread

[Alan]

Feel a bit bad for the Italians tbh, really looked like the manager hanging the players out to dry to me. Just a mess all over the place, no semblance of a plan in any phase of play.

 

[Jack Regan]

Will be interesting what that was ruled out for, no VAR check on it.

Blocking of the defender and whistled before the ball hit the net.

 

[Banjo]

Very strong start by Germany and can't tell yet why that was disallowed

It shouldn't have been. It was a shit decision.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Nah your fuming if that’s against you. You’ve got to be a little cuter with the block, it’s blatant and the ref saw it

It was incredibly soft.

 

[PuntsWolf]

It was incredibly soft.

Yeah but blocking isn’t allowed. It’s not even a grey area.

Just seen replays here, not given against scorer, another german player took out clinically the danish defender who was tracking the scorer.
As mentioned earlier, ref blew before ball was in back of net.
Brave decision from the ref.

 

[Jack Regan]

Only a matter of time at the minute in any case.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Germany have created more against Denmark in 20 minutes than we did in 90.

 

[Alan]

Only a matter of time at the minute in any case.

Maybe, the German defense still doesn't look terribly inspired though.

Denmark have grown into it a bit more the last ten or so.

 

[Alan]

Denmark have grown into it a bit more the last ten or so.

If the pattern holds, Denmark will keep Germany in sight for 70 minutes until Fullkrüg comes on for Havertz.

Every time I see Havertz I'm mystified at the reputation he once had. Never actually saw him at Leverkusen (right?) though.

 

[HanDoJin]

Germany have created more against Denmark in 20 minutes than we did in 90.

True enough. But we scored, and only conceded to a worldy.

 

[Jack Regan]

Lightning stops play.

 

[Alan]

And here I was just about to say how cool it was (if maybe foolish) that they were playing on through a thunderstorm.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Michael Oliver need a thunder buddy?

 

[Dire Wolf]

Have to suspend play here. Lightning is the only thing that stops an NFL game.

 

[Alan]

Lightning stops play.

Any idea off the dome how close the lightning has to be to cause a delay?

Also, shout outs to Peter Schmeichel who has been fucking excellent in the studio over here.
