2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

What a TACKLE

I do feel a wee bit sorry for Lukaku, with De Bruyne dropping so deep he's pretty well up on his own with no support, as Doku is blowing hot and cold.

It’s circa 20c in Düsseldorf - Griezmann has played nearly 70 minutes of football and not a single hair out of place. French magnificence 😂

I think he’s looked lazy and sloppy today. I’d feel sorry for him if he looked like he was doing anything worthwhile.

Tchoumeni: coos erse, banjo, elephant, alleyway, blunderbluss.

Hes had a great tournament.

Lift the ball

We have a goal.

Deserved, but Didier needs to make them do some shooting drills before the quarters.

While cupping a couple of somethings that weren't his ears!

It's not arrogance when you can back it up, it's belief.
He knows he's good.
And he is.

Would Portugal be better without Ronaldo playing? Feel like he slows their build up down quite a lot and then falls over.

We are now watching a team that will do everything and anything to win. Dive, feign injury and moan about absolutely everything.

Cmon Slovenia

My comments were actually directed at Portugal. The first 20 odd minutes and Ronaldo is trying to win penalties moving at every opportunity and the fullback went down in a heap following superb challenge. Acting like he had been properly leathered.

Is the Slovenian keeper sponsored by Marigolds? 🤣😁

That Leao doesnae half throw himself down.

Cracking player

Am I the only one who can't stand Ronaldo?! Really want Portugal to get knocked out here too many players diving and having a sense of entitlement..

Ronaldo really is a dick and the commentators aren't helping with their love in!

That's it, hook him

It's all about Ronaldo, he's trying that hard he's up for a header before the cross has even came into the box.

Tournament has been awful

I tend to agree with this…it started really well and I was excited for what lay ahead…but it’s been pretty drab since match day 2. Lots of passing backwards, sideways…quality’s been poor at times and a real lack of attacking intentions.
