If that’s the case then we need Professor Brian Cox in to football next. How can you finitely prove sound and vibration waves locate to the position of a player and the contact between each player and ball in context of and taking into account what is visually caught by cameras (and not caught). Definite proof ? If not, then what’s the point?Quote:

How can a ref and linesman not see that was a corner. Useless.
1-0 France, own goal.
Crazy, it was a huge deflection off the keeper, what did they think caused that? Dreadful decision.Quote:

Good header though, well placed into the corner of the net.:greengrinQuote:

Not sure I entirely agree that's a foul or a yellow card .
So annoying that lee dixon doesn’t understand the rules of the sport he comments on.

Yeah. That was a tough test for France and they came through it. Bodes well for them.Quote:

Pre-tournament Harry Kane said England were the favourites to win it so the expectations can't really get much higher.Quote:

Cracking finish there, 1-0 Turkey.
Terrific hit.
Excellent game this. Turkey playing very well.
Turkey 1 v 1 Georgia
Some game
This game is unreal…end to end !
We are so far behind these teams in terms of quality of play 😭Quote:

how good is this Turkey v Georgia game... best so far by miles for me... cracking atmosphere too
the technical ability to keep the ball and work opportunities from both sides...Quote:

Madrid are playing the football equivalent of Top Trumps the way they are acquiring not the next generation but the one after thatQuote:

What an excellent game.
Well played both teams.
unlucky Georgia
unbelievable.... I remember tournament after tournament where first games would be rotten as teams played not to lose... this has been so far at the other end...
i could watch games likle that every day of the week
I saw that. Two groups happy to pretend to fight but safe behind a wall/fence. Imagine spending all that time and money travelling to get banned from football and/or time in jail for essentially a robust game of high fives!Quote:

Portugal playing with 10 men and a walking Ronaldo, i wonder if the manager has the balls to replace him at any stage?
He will probably score a hattrick now i've slaughtered him.:greengrin
Looks like a fiver wasted on schick over 1 on target Czechs toiling to keep hold of it
Yip totally missed Leao getting booked for simulation too busy slavering pish expecting the attacking free kickQuote:

Decent goal. :greengrin
Oooooft
Anyone ever seen Ronaldo score one of them free kicks ?
Portugal 0-1 Czechoslovakia. I didn't really see that coming :greengrin
What Portugal deserve after 60 minutes fannying about.
Poor from the goalie

Very poor. Defender had no chanceQuote:

I quite fancied Portugal to be in with a chance of winning the whole thing, but not on this showing. A collection of quality players, but not a great team.
Get that semi automated offside in the SPFL our dumplings need all the help they can get
This commentary in Por v Cze is dreadful.
2-1 portugal 90 + 2 😊
Terrible. Not sure who she is but at least twice she has said Czech Republic are pushing forward here and Portugal have the ball.Quote:

Not just her, but why not use the word "Czechia"? It's the accepted English name these days, and easier to say.Quote:

As well as goal line tech, where again, you cannot argue, is all that I have seen that improves the game from a tech pov.
Only the captains talking with the refs is a good one as well.
Keeper poor at both. Danny Murphy poor throughout.Quote:

To think I used to hate Clive Tyldesley on comms but now he seems like the most informative of the lot.
Well off topic, and not football related at all but -Quote:

The French and German words for Scotland aren't Scotland. Is there a reason why that's a different situation to what we call Turkey/Turkiye?
