UEFA Euro 2024

Now it will be really ironic if Slovenia score from this free kick…

I mean, listen my friend, you take it where you can get it.

But it’s not emotionally healthy… ok, just until the end of this match…

I’m sure Ronaldo will take a second penalty, and it would be oh so sweet if he missed again. Jan Oblak, go!

If things continue in this vein they’ll go to penalties and he will absolutely take one, he’ll probably score though, if he misses 2 penalties in the same game they’ll have to hospitalize me for schadenfreude overdose…

Shit! Slovenia miss.

And the fucker scores.

It was too much to hope for.

You bastards are seeing this 30 seconds before I am. Grrrr.

Oh, well. I enjoyed the ride, somewhat.

Well, I’m in Germany, just around the corner from Frankfurt. :wink:

(though my signal traveled over satellite…)

All great saves but every penalty at that perfect saveable height

At least we now get to watch France v Portugal in the next round.

(waited 30 secs for @Mighty_Mouse before posting)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 3-0 penalty shootout win before. Even in Under-10s.

Thanks!

Ah, well… Portugal’s trainer Roberto Martínez was clever enough to take Pepe out before the penalty shootings. And the goalie nailed it.

See some of you later in the Copa thread!

The third was a bit flattered (is that English? I mean undeserved, too much) but I’ll take it.

Flattering :wink:

Now comes the “Siege of Vienna Derby”, between Austria and Turkey, has Austria perhaps nationalized polish player called Jan “Winged Hussar” Sobieski? that would guarantee victory…

:joy:

This is really plumbing the depths of history. I wonder how many European matchups in this tournament have not got some history of warfare between the two nations involved?
