Pepe challenge would have been a clear red for Wales last night with that twat of a ref.

It’s turned into a game of best fallers

Its a bit boring to be fair.

Portugal battling hard but end product poor.

 

[Pegojack]

Gutted for Portugal but their finishing was really poor. They could and should have won that.

That must be one of the best Portuguese teams ever , on paper, Belgium didn't even play that well , Ian Wright is correct , its a myth that ronaldio is great at free kicks

You're right, and what p*sses me off is that they are so in awe of him, nobody says to him "Try something different to catch them out. When they're all expecting a blaster, chip it over the wall for somebody to run on to".

Have to say, Belgium without De Bryne looked very ordinary.
I thought Sanches was outstanding but tired towards the end. But he rarely stopped moving … made me realise how static our midfield has become.

It's a myth in that no-one who has done 5 minutes research (which obviously rules out Ian Wright) would think he is great at free kicks. His conversion rate for his career is 6%. The average conversion rate of free-kicks which are hit directly at goal in the Premier League is 9.2%.

I remember him scoring that wonder free-kick against Portsmouth for Man U, but don't remember any others. He's always been better at shooting from distance in open play. Portugal should certainly have better options in the team, but it seems like he calls the shots (pun intended).

Spain - Croatia is a belter.

Hell of a goal by Morata

Spain - Croatia is a belter.

Fark. I turned off at 3-1. I've just seen the score.

Spain - Croatia is a belter.

Cracking game that was. Spain finding their mojo at just the right time? 2 dodgy draws to start with then 10 goals in 2 games.

 

[Pegojack]

France in a spot of bother.

I was planning to head out of the house too. Just caught Croatia's second and sat back down again.

When you think of how Italy mangled the Swiss…

I thought the Swiss looked good against us. France will have a battle now.
