The Official Euro 2016 Megathread

[Alan]

Helps when the lino's allowing blatantly offside goals of course!

That'll be the next call reviewable by replay, you'd think. Only takes half a second to see it, and when it's on the referee's far side (as this one was) the degree of difficulty must be immense.

Nolito's looking better than he did at our place.

 

[thehistorymakers]

There has to be more goals in this.

 

[thehistorymakers]

Pique has a good game. He's won everything in the air.

 

[Alan]

Sergio Ramos taking free kicks now. Spain are having a laugh.

 

[thehistorymakers]

It looks like Turkey have given up.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Spain now playing with Turkey in the way that a cat plays with a half dead mouse it has caught.

Not the most interesting match to watch - as a neutral I would want something closer than this & one that you didn't know who was going to win 20 mins in

 

[thehistorymakers]

Jordi Alba might be carrying an injury.

 

[Nando]

Iniesta is just remarkable. Without doubt one of the best midfielders of all time.

 

[Alan]

Austria, Turkey, Ukraine, and Belgium fighting it out for biggest flop, then.

Belgium and Austria with time to turn it around.

Kilbane exonerating Subasic on that goal but I'm not so sure, I would hope a keeper would save a looping header from that distance in open play.

Just watched this. Really should save it. Gives up on it when he would have got there if he'd stuck a hand out.

Following on from the Croatia trouble yesterday, interesting post on reddit with more detailed explanation.

The comments on there about players being forced to pay a % of their entire career wage to Mamic are just shocking.

Possible changes to the Belgium team, this is the reported eleven.

Courtois; Meunier, Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Vertonghen; Witsel, Dembélé, De Bruyne; Carrasco, Lukaku, Hazard.

Unfortunately, I think that's a much better team than the last one they put out.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Anything not involving the absolute lummox Ciman is a huge improvement.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wardy starting for Ireland.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Interesting. I hope he does really well.

Wardy got a lot of stick here but I still like him loads. Would pay through the nose for him to still be in our starting XI now.

 

[Stan Hullis]

In an Irish bar in Covent Garden, this should be fun

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Should be quite the mental if they score.
