The Euro 2024 Thread

[K23]

I don’t think I’ve seen a shootout where one keeper save the 1st 3 and the other team score their first 3

First time it's ever happened at the Euros apparently.

3 great saves, but he had one foot off the goal line before each pen was kicked.

All his saves were legal.He knew exactly what he was doing.

"When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, in line with, or behind, the goal line"

Fvck, I'm 2 seasons behind with the foot rule.

I always thought 1 per team per half would be ok, especially if some of the very quick decisions made during the Euros can become the norm. I also think that, in the case of offside 'goals', the captains should be able to ask the lino who flagged (or ref via his comms with the linos) "Was it close?" and then make a decision on whether or not to officially challenge based on his response.

Again, it should be like cricket. In the case of marginal LBW’s, the captain will ask his bowler and wicketkeeper for their respective views, and then go from there. No need to involve an umpire (or a referee/lino) until it becomes an official review. I’ll go with your one per half.

Haji needed treatment in the first half for a head collision

Dutch player fakes being kicked in the face when the Romanian's boot went nowhere near him. Why doesn't VAR tell the ref to book him for simulation?

Cracking game between Austria and Turkey.

Amazing save at the death by the Turkish keeper.

Absolutely astonishing save by Turkish keeper with literally seconds left.

Best game of the tournament that was. That save at the end by the Türkiye keeper…

Cracking game between Austria and Turkey.

Amazing save at the death by the Turkish keeper.

Couldn't believe he saved it to be honest, best save I've seen in years, lightening reactions by the Turkish Keeper
