The Official Euro 2016 Megathread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Feel a bit for Subasic there, it was a good save.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Bollocks - that's my £10 in the sweepstake gone then!!

 

[machin05]

How bias has the commentary been?! Clive getting far too excited by Portugal attacks.

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

Commentator here just said that that was an 'important goal for Portugal'.

 

[slink]

Suicide from Croatia, go from not trying to win it to over committing players and leaving themselves wide open. Why Pjaca didn't start is beyond me, proper player.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Until the last 2 minutes both sides looked to be playing for penalties (though why you would want to go into that lottery is beyond me)

Why no one tried before then is unfathomable

 

[slink]

Whoever gets to the final from our side of the draw will be loving it, i can't see a team in the other side that we should be worried about facing.

 

[The Bear]

Jammy Portugese fuckers.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

That gents is why Portugal are so dangerous in knockouts! Fucking jammy bastards

 

[Jack Regan]

Serves Croatia right (my work sweep money down the tube) for not trying to win the game inside 90 minutes. Anyone whose seen Portugal's recent games knows they won't be particularly open. So to play the way they did means they only have themselves to blame.

Agree.
Why change your game & they way you've played for 3 matches?.. to nullify Ronaldo?
Load of overthinking over tactical bullshit.

 

[jd1981]

Worse thing is I can see them stumbling into a final and still being shite a bit like Argentina in 1990.
Croatia should have had more than enough to see them off.

According to BBC - no shots on target

Can believe that as not heard the keepers mentioned at any point

He isn't, he's had one good spell when he scored 9 goals in as many games i think it was but he's not anywhere near Championship standard and definitely not good enough for international football.

He looked very sharp for Peterborough last year far and awaybtoo good for league one. They went into free fall after he left and that isn't coincidence. Having seen him several times I do think he is championship standard at least. Time hoiwever will tell

Yep Humpty tactics. Fucking hate Portugal. Really want them beaten

Indeed, stupid management not playing either him or Kalinic from the start. The Portuguese left back is an awful defender, why you wouldn't go at him from the start is beyond me.

 

[Freddeno]

Croatia dug their own grave by not attacking..clueless manager, should have started kalinic instead of mandzukic also

 

[Nando]

Portugal are quite happy to stink the place out. That's what Santos is all about.

 

[Langers]

I bloody well hope today's games are an improvement on yesterday's. Not that they could get much worse.

 

[Jack Regan]

I would suspect this will either be incredibly dour or one-sided. If France score early they could easily do to Ireland what Belgium did to them. An early Irish goal could make it a decent game with any luck.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Penalty!
