The Euro 2024 Thread

Belgium just got shafted by ultra edge.

Decisions like that should be voided, it had no influence on the goal FFS

This could turn out to be one of the best tournaments in a long while.

Some might argue that the handball for the second disallowed goal was as close to marginal as could be but ultimately the job of VAR is to catch these kinds of things and so far the semi automated VAR for offsides has been excellent I think. Between 1 and 2 minutes on average to come to a decision with officials only having to check for infringements.

The ITV commentary on the rulings and discussion I agree with earlier posts has made the whole thing significantly better for the TV viewer.

In any case a huge result for Slovakia and once again Belgium are their own worst enemy against what one would call greatly inferior opposition.

I enjoyed the Joma derby

Looking forward to seeing this French side

France play with a pace beyond most other top international teams.

France play with a pace beyond most other top international teams.

Austria have done well though, should be 1-1

Fucking hell, I could have put that away.

Crap referee

 

[Swanjaxs]

Decent side Austria

The England camp must be bricking it after watching the mighty French tonight. Feel sorry for Austria, better team on the night imo. Still at least they scored.

Mbappe could be out for a couple of games, definitely a broken nose job

 

[CygnusX1]

Austria unlucky not to get anything from that. The French pace on the break is amazing, but ultimately they couldn’t capitalise n it.

Enjoying the VAR updates from Christina Unkel. I'm hoping the FA can employ someone as competent as her for next season.
