UEFA Euro 2024

My father hates the English football team…

As does all right thinking people…

Handballers don’t count.

No color-tv world cup, no opinion.

Come on Spain. But have a feeling France will outsmart them.

That’s gotta be 1-0 Spain. free header from 6 yards!

Tale of two headers in the first 8 minutes. Two sitters: one missed, the other taken!

Now France can play Catenaccio…

This should be a good game now

It would’ve probably been better if Spain scored first. Would’ve meant France were forced to actually attack.

I thought the same (see my post above), but at the moment they surprise me with a rather offensive strategy.

ETA: and as I typed this, the teenie scored. Unbelievable!

Wow. Just wow.

I think Yamal is pretty one footed, but what a foot.

REally nice work by Olmo leads to a France own goal.

Well. This has been some start.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this is going to be the better of the two semi finals

Just as a curious aside, there were quite some speculations if the 16 year old Yamal’s participation in this game beginning at 9 PM local time is violating German employment laws regarding child labor. So it might happen that the Spanish football association later will get reported and fined by the German authorities.

Nice, a Euro game with real offense for once

Seriously.

When did teams stop scoring from corners and direct kicks?

Can’t believe Mbappe, with his team losing at HT in a Euro semi-final, has just swapped shirts with a Spanish player. I don’t think that’s a great look.

That touch to control that cross by Dembele was insane. If he had Ronaldo’s mindset he’d be the best player in the world.
