Euro Championships 2016

[mjhibby]

****ing brilliant. Robbie Savage was brilliant there as well. I hope they get to the final now.

Not a big fan of savage but you felt the passion and shows what it meant to them. Giggs was struggling to keep it together and this from the guy who won more trophies than anybody else in the epl. Welsh singing fabulous but obviously not quite as good as soleith. Courtois diving very reminiscent of watching captain fantastics winning goal. Great stuff.

[renato]

Massive, massive game tonight - Germans favourites but this is their first "proper" game of the tourney whist we've had to negotiate Belgium and Spain already.

Hard one to call but it'll probably be the fine margins again that decide the outcome. The irrestitable force against the immovable object....

Germany has never won a game against Italy in any of the tournaments, i.e. when it matters - this will however, not be the case after this evening - I hope .... :greengrin

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

My few quid on Wales to win and Bale to Top Score @ 500/1 is looking better and better.

Played Belgium off the park last night who are ranked 2nd in the world. Granted the rankings don't count for **** but look at some of the individual talent in that team. Togetherness, unity and team spirit can go a long way. Hope they can do it!!

Ze Germans vs the Itai's tonight. Could be a close game but I'm going 2-1 for the scratch and sniff guy's team either in 90 or 120 minutes

[Pretty Boy]

Small bet on Italy at 11/4.

Germany Dont Beat Italy. It's just the way it is.

You'll be fine. May go to pens though...

[Gatecrasher]

I dont know who I would prefer, I have money on Germany to win the tournament but I love Italian national football

[theonlywayisup]

The 8 times the Germans have played the Italians in competitive games, they've lost 4 and drawn 4. The losses have been in key finals (1982 WC) and in semi finals (1970 WC, 2006 WC and 2012 Euro).

However, in the year of the underdog and long records of hurt being broken, it has to be Germany for me.

[blackpoolhibs]

Germany to break the hoodoo tonight by the odd goal.

[Glory Lurker]

This has the potential to be one of the greatest internationals ever. They should have just made it the final.

[marinello59]

I've fancied Italy for the tourney since their first game in it. Still do.

I've not liked Italy since Spain 82, but have really enjoyed what I have seen if them at this tournament. Still want Iceland to do them in the semi if they win tonight, though!

They will probably cancel each other out. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it went penalties

Glad I talked about it having potential to be great. Tedious so far.

Not been great so far. Germany on top but not a lot of chances.

[Finn2015]

Who is this referee?

The one in a different kit and a whistle. He may produce a yellow card or even red from time to time. Usually a prick

Oh no I'm not favouring Germany - I've Italian blood in me too. There's clearly real venom when Italy do attack. I just have a grudging admiration for the Germans.

[renato]

The problem is, you open up against the Germans and they'll kill you, they're almost man for man better than us.

What we need to do however is be better and make better decisions in possession - they're a little suspect with tracking runners and a more accurate and quicker switch and we're in. Conte can make the difference now...

[renato]

Godammit....2 breaks they got there!

[easty]

Great pass

[scooby]

Hope you're right about that. I bet Italy/Wales before the quarters at 28/1. Now 9/1 with Ladbrokes :wink:

That's a nice wee earner, but looks like Germany have other ideas. Italy have been poor tonight.

[Pretty Boy]

What a save that is.

[hibsbollah]

Unbelievable passing from Germany now.

[renato]

And Sturaro is like a fish out of water, no where near good enough for Italy...

[Mon Dieu4]

The speed Germany get the ball back is frightening

[easty]

Germany miles the better team this half

[One Day Soon]

Agreed. The passing needs to be a lot more crisp to get back into this.

That's because they are miles a better team. Italy are playing well above themselves in this tournament.

[renato]

Badly miss De Rossi, or even Motta. Verrati injured is also a massive loss.

Conte needs to change it now.

No sure if it's due to the equaliser, or Gomez going off, but Germany have dropped thier performance a lot the past 10-15 mins

Reluctantly, the better team won. If those two however hadn't fannied about with their pens it would likely be a different team going through. If I was Conte I'd go right through them both for their stupidity. Buffon was pretty much greeting at the end.

When you think how much these guys earn it's amazing they don't bust the net every time.

They clearly don't practise pens in training. Hence the indecisive run ups.

Money has nothing to with it, any player will tell you that taking a penalty is high pressure and some cope with that pressure better than others.

I thought that too. Even thought he looked nervous walking up. He put it away though. He'd clearly been trying to atone for giving the penalty away for the rest of the game so fair play to him.

FT: France 5 - 2 Iceland.
So my first team, Italy is out (Italian blood), now Iceland (used to drink with someone called Erlander Johannson), all that is left is our celtic neighbours (but cant warm to them), France (but I never support the host nation cause its all set up for them anyway), Germany (might have, but they beat my Italy), and Portugal. Got to be Portugal since I was near the Cristiano Ronaldo museum in Funchal recently, and I have always liked the Portuguese since we beat Sporting Lisbon 6-1 at Easter Road.

Wales for me now. Then France, followed narrowly by Ze Germans then Portugal miles back in 4th place.

I think Germany will win it in a Germany Portugal final.

Oddly enough the much maligned England have beaten all four semi finalists in the past 8 months.

Germany have got real injury woes and it's all coming together for France. I think the host nation will be in the final... against Wales.

Really hope we get to the final. I think its possible as Portugal not looking that good at the moment.

Portugal seldom do but they are very match/tournament savvy and get the job done, just!

[nellio]

Fair comment, seem to have ground out results somehow. Praying we can do them on Wed.

I'd love it if Wales get to the final, not least because I can't stand Ronaldo but also because it would seriously increase Lineker & Co's depression !!.

I really hope you do. Play like you did against Belgium and you'll be in with a great shout. Tough ask without Ramsey but there's a great team spirit there.

Wales winning the Euro 2016!!! I can imagine someone a few months ago saying that that would be as likely as Leicester winning the English Premier League or Hibs winning the Scottish Cup after 114 years of hurt. Well you know what, they might actually do it!

Am I jealous, yes!!

come on the wales tonight!

[Mr White]

Aye all the best to Wales tonight. Ramsey will be a big loss but I still think they can do it.

[hibsbollah]

I have a feeling Portugal will break a few hearts tonight. Theyve been spawny all through the tournament.

Haha almost choked on my dinner when I saw James Collins was playing......then realised my mistake

[Pretty Boy]

Why are both teams in their away kits?

Surely one could have played in red.

Is it not because making one team wear their home strip and the other their away strip, may possibly seem unfair on the "away" team?

Who is the co commentator?

Who is the co commentator?

Mark Bowen - former Welsh internationalist

I was just thinking Tom Jones knows more about football than I would have given him credit for :greengrin

[TheGreenMan]

Away kit - Wondered the same - refused permission...

Just turned over properly after the tennis.

2 things. The co commentator is very good, a real change from the usual. Secondly the Wales forwards looked a bit isolated up top, not sure if they had just dropped in to see it to half time though.

[ShadesLongThrow]

Watching it in Italy. Two observations about Rai 1. First, the commentators never shut up. It's like a radio commentary. And second, the anchor woman in the studio at half time has an enormous chest! :greengrin

[hibsbollah]

Wales have been the better team I think, but neither keeper really tested. Bale contributing more than Ronaldo.

[Pretty Boy]

That is a brilliantly worked corner and finish.

[Golden Bear]

Ronaldo - who else.?!

[Mr White]

He's no bad in the air.

[hibsbollah]

Immaculate header.

[Mr White]

If the sight of Pepe celebrating doesn't make you feel a little bit Welsh then there's no hope for your soul unfortunately.
