UEFA Euro 2016 thread

This is the most exciting game of the tournament so far. Wales hanging on up 2-1, but Belgium is attacking and attacking and attacking…

Tense, innit?

No doubt about that. I wanted Belgium to win and give the ugly Portuguese team a good whacking in the semis, but THIS Wales seems capable to teach them a lesson, too.

Well done Wales, well done. :smiley:

Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo meet in the Semi Finals. Urrghhh the big gun always reach deep into tourneys. :wink:

Hoping for a Wales - Iceland final.

Tickled pink that Wales is in the semis. Horrified to think this might mean Portugal makes the final. Portugal didn’t even deserve to make it out of the group stage. Ugly lackluster unattractive play, interspersed with buckets of cynical fouls .

On the bright side, a Portugal win will guarantee that Messi returns to international football. I mean CR7 will be insufferable, or more so than he already is.

That was 90 minutes of tension and fun, tomorrow might be less exciting. Nonetheless, go Deutschland!

There will always be an England…although maybe not in footie.

Hoping there’ll be some chippy card action between Bale and Ronaldo. They probably won’t cross paths all that much, but Bale does drop back more than Ronaldo does, so maybe…

That, immeasurably.

It might not be an all-British league, but the E.P.L. is the greatest goddamned footy league in the universe.

For anyone wondering what I meant when I said earlier that a lot of scored penalties this tournament should have been called back, the Bonucci equalizer against Germany was a perfect example. Clear misconduct on part of the taker, and it should have been called back.

Go Germany, our only hope for stopping Ronaldo and Portugal!

Wales will take care of that.

Portugal will stop itself.

I’ve been curious for a while to see Neuer handle a penalty shootout. Is this his first in an international tournament?

These guys don’t look like they’ve ever kicked a ball before.

He did well.

Oh my nerves, I don’t wanna know my blood pressure right now. These guys normally know how to shoot penaltys, for god’s sake! But all in all, well done and deserved.

That was some pretty horrific penalty-shooting by both sides.
