I love the Americans posing as Italians in this bread.

This is what I imagine AFL_ITALIA looks like:

He never said he was Italian though.

Landon Donavan is the most bland color commentator I have heard lol

It's all in the hair.

Yeah, it's totally true. Nobody remembers how much you sucked getting there, just that you got the "W".

Still, after the George fleecing I expected to see a little more organization and determination out of Portugal. There wasn't any.

I don't think the Euros are bad, I think the coaching of the smaller teams have improved massively. Solid and organised teams are out-playing teams of stars. Perhaps these big name teams are too arrogant or maybe they're not that good as first thought, certainly players like Foden and Saka are only good when carried by their managers and foreigners at their club.

Maybe the pool of genuinely world class players is small now. Either way, I like it and am loving how smaller teams have progressed so much. I also appreciate the winner will likely deserve it, ie, my pick Spain is having to really play well to get through whereas the frauds like Italy and England will eventually be beaten.

I am hoping.

Sad detail for ENG-SVK: I check FotMob at the 92nd minute and there's a Bet365 ad/content bar on it showing England's chances of winning at 5000:1. I mentioned this to my wife, saying if I had an account I would have put down at least $10.

You know, hedging my hopes for Slovakia...

Habsburg Cup, baby

Romania started surprisingly well while Netherlands look very vulnerable at the back, still hard to believe we can do it but there’s definitely some bits of hope after this positive start!

And there you have it, was too much to hope…

Gakpo with a moment of brilliance there

Not even a yellow for it, what a joke of a ref

 

[Alen]

I'm telling you, Gheorghe Hagi, Dan Petrescu, Gh. Popescu, Raducioiu, and Munteanu are in their 50s right now, but they can still beat the current bunch playing for Romania.

Nah they have better facial features and bone structure

A waft of air destroys Dumfries head. Poor fella.

Dragusin is a retarded version of Boumsong.

 

[Alin]

How was that ever a foul when they stopped our counter lol… they don’t need the help, the difference in quality is obvious already and the ref still takes every opportunity to give them a hand

 

[icemaη]

Terrible defending on that lol

High boots and "elbow" to the face are the worst fouls in modern football. Absolutely no contact on most fouls and the players go down catching their head. Refs blow the whistle for those 9 times out of 10. Absolute rubbish.

Yeah it’s over now, fair result all in all, we had a few chances but didn’t make the most of them, been also quite lucky on a few of theirs, the ref still an absolute joke though.

On that one he was even at low level and at distance, if there ever was an obvious dive.
