2024 European Soccer Championships

There is general agreement over here that not playing Palmer at all is a big mistake.

I like this one lol

Golden opportunity for England to make it all the way to the final. That is, if they’re any good.

They don’t seem to be calling the stutter/stop on the penalty runs-in, eh?

Another coach whining about his team getting caught cheating by VAR.

The offside was obvious.
The Handball, I’d want a more thorough explanation from the ref, but not during the match. My guess is that it was determined to be unnatural. That means his hand could have and should have been somewhere else, and he knew that.

I’m pretty sure it would be easy to train unnatural arm movements out of professional football players. Maybe some teams already do that because it would save a lot of these penalties. Of course keep training players how to fall down and writhe with agony after the slightest contact.

Schmeichel senior had a bit of a rant about being offside by a toenail (looked more like two inches of an Adidas boot). There is nothing in the rules about being a little bit offside - it’s either offside or not offside. Much easier that way.

Uh-oh

Probably won’t see ENG complaining about that VAR review.

Wow, who had doubts??

Cue the Union Jack…

Vive La France!

What a save by the Turkey keeper to clinch the W!

OMG! That was great.

Well deserved 2-1 win by Spain over Germany.

Great game. Lots of great football.

Spain are looking very strong now. Definitely the favourites to win it all.

That was a physical match! Spain is going to have some major squad rotation next game due to cards.

Crazy that France managed to make the semis without a single goal from open play in the tourney

Luckily for England, Jude only got fined, rather than banned from today’s match, for “violating the basic rules of decent conduct” in the Slovakia match.

Don’t want to stray here but I wish that penalties for “violating the basic rules of decent conduct” applied to human activities outside the sporting world!

Dutch are through to the semis! Two classic confrontations coming up: the Dutch versus the English and the French versus the Spanish.
