What a bellend

Toney? I think he's right. Bringing a striker on with a minute to go was a ridiculous thing to do. Should've been on 25 minutes earlier. They were genuinely dreadful for 95 minutes and very lucky to still be in it.Quote:

City balaclava mob apparently- seems that a supporter minding their own business was struck by a brick and there was issues with pyro and looking for trouble inside the ground.Quote:

It happens in many matches, even at ER, hoping for a lucky break in time added on or wasting time depending on the circumstances.. Players know this so a bit of attention seeking IMO. Toney has done nowt since returning after his betting ban so lucky to be there at all.Quote:

Wonder what would happen if we did something like that to a group of passer-by’s on a Saturday night after a few beers! 🫣
You just know he’s going to play a blinder in their next game.
Seems incredibly harsh for Demiral to get a ban after scoring two goalsQuote:

Not sure I'd call it just childish. It's a fairly offensive thing to do especially when you consider the influence someone like Bellingham has amongst kids.Quote:

Think Germany edge this one
Spain for me, Quite easily.Quote:

Germany have had some cracking strips over the years I have a fake italia 90 one it’s a crackerQuote:

Should be at least 1 up.
Yeah, poor refereeing, it doesn't matter if it's the first minute or the last minute, a booking is a booking.Quote:

Too many good keepers at this tournament. Standard is exceptional. Needs a few Zibis to spice things up.
Was really looking forward to this game but it's pretty much been a let down so far
Just me who thinks this tournament has been pretty boring? There’s been a few really good games but the rest has been slow, possession football and not a lot of goals.
Totally disagree, for me Germany have been the better team. Don't think either Yamal or Williams have been effective and when the Germans break Spain are struggling to stop the likes of Havertz.Quote:

Let’s see what this half brings !
1-0 Spain
Get in 👍
Good to see Puyol and Pique are in the crowd supporting Spain. Pique son even got the Spain jersey on 🇪🇸.
Goat looks like it’s woken Germany up but there is going to be big gaps for Spain to break.
It’s been the games involving teams with nothing to lose getting stuck in that have been the most enjoyable, Turkey and Georgia and Romania being the 3 that come to mind. Many of the bigger teams have been a bit dull.Quote:

I’m the same enjoyed watching the teams you mentioned as well, Swiss and Austria to add to itQuote:

No chance. Spain cruising all game for me. I'd be suprised if they don't win.Quote:

More possession, more shots on goal, more shots on target.Quote:

Yes winning now a wee bit lucky to be so. Even game pretty muchQuote:

Havertz should have hit the target there for me. Missed some amount of chances throughout the tournament.
Now that was almost Zibi likeQuote:

Fully deserved that. 1-1 and ET it is

1-1. Been on the cards. Spain looking poor last 20 minutes.
Jammy
Deserved
Tissues out for JimB 🤭
Spanish manager has made the wrong subs.
He needs to switch Torres and Oyarzabal positioning.
Nagelsmann has done well here read it pretty well and made changes quickly
Kroos gets away with murder, so many fouls and just 1 booking.
Took a while but the game finally got interesting, I feel ET will become a slugfest again though. Both teams going back to being too scared too lose…
How's the ref missed that blatant push by Kroos there?
Could've easily been a 2nd booking too
Poor

Spain got what they deserved, hanging on for the last 15 minutes, really poor subs
For drying your eyes ��Quote:

What's that from Torres lol
Germany missa sitter.
Gutsy, they went for it. 2 mins to go and 5 in tbe box for the cross
Brilliant challenge. [emoji1787]Knew he was missing the next game so why not!
Carvajal taking one for the team.
Anthony Taylor will genuinely think he's had a great game.
