If England can get through tomorrow then they’ve got a real chance.
Belgium favourites for me now.
I saw that coming too. Mbappé didn't look at all confident.
Dutch out, France out, wonder if it will be England or Germany next
Well done the Swiss. Played amazing and deserved that. Gutsy as ****.
Gonna put my neck on the line and say it’ll defo be one of them.Quote:

Yes it's at a good height and not quite in the corner but you seen with Lloris only a few minutes before that with the pace these pens are struck at, that doesn't make it a given that it will be saved.
Yep. I'd rather watch France than Switzerland, but the Swiss deserved it tonight.Quote:

Be organised and want it more. An oversimplification sure, but we can see the Swiss and the Czech’s beating their more storied opposition with that as starting points.
Alors, putain, c’est la vie.
I’m transferring my support to Italy now.
I don't think winning against 10 men, or winning a shootout is anything to do with wanting it more. They played well, so did France. Swiss got that bit of luck.Quote:

Lloris stayed in the centre of his goal, wasn't just how hard the ball was hit but he couldn't get a full hand behind the ball. Sommer dived to his right, and got a proper block on the penaltyQuote:

Maybe a valid point.
Stunning goal to be fair but have to think back to Pogba's celebration.:greengrin
A lesson to young kids - its not over till its over.
G Neville should also take note. He made comments after the Swiss game vs Wales that stuck with me, how the swiss were safe, non-threatening, set to out with a whimper as per usual and only there to make up the numbers. Total lack of respect, have that.
Excellent tournament so far.
Two brilliant matches today. I enjoyed every minute of today's football.
Well done to Switzerland for their fightback after missing the penalty.
Or you could argue it was the easiest group, particularly if Germany go out tomorrow, as they weren't good enough to get past the round of 16. 🙃Quote:

I've arrived first in the office this morning - just waiting for my beelin' workmates to arrive...
I have been very impressed by Emma Hayes MBE as a co-commentator
Very knowledgeable and informative
Never thought I would ever say this but the Referees the use of VAR and goal line technology have been first class
:top marks
She is good. Only problem is, her voice goes right through me and really put me off trying to listen to her.Quote:
