Euro 2016 (Football)

[Lucy Hamilton]

3: 1 to Wales now. But two players out of the next match. Good we won't have to suffer penalty shootout tonight.

What a shocking display of racism and bigotry or something, the Wales fans all waving those big Wales flags

OMG terrible display of....Patriotism What Fascists or something

Of course, people knew this already, what with 52.5% of them voting to Leave the EU.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Belgium have no idea how to play together.

Belgium had exactly one match where they performed correctly, all other matches, including tonights, they were a mess.

They did have a lot of injuries but still too much talent out there to perform they way they did. I have no idea why they went back to Fellaini tonight.

Agreed, also Fellaini is over rated.

So the UEFA Euro 2016 football begins today in France and goes on until July 10th.

I've started this thread for anyone who'll be following the tournament and wants to comment etc. Myself, I'll attempt to give updates each day.

The opening match is France vs Romania, which France should win. The Romanian's aren't the sort of team they had when Gheorghe Hagi and Dan Petrescu represented that nation.

Here's the UEFA Euro 2016 official website, with the match fixtures.

Tonight's Match.

Quarter Final 3.

Germany vs Italy KO at 9pm in about 50 minutes at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux in Bordeaux.

This could go to Extra Time, if Italy play like they did against Spain then I can see Italy winning this match. If Germany play like they did against Poland and Northern Ireland, I can see this going to a Penalty Shoot-Out. If Italy play like they played against everyone up to the match with Spain, then Germany to win.

However, Italy have never lost to Germany in the last eight competitive meetings.

Quarter Final 3.

Germany vs Italy at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux in Bordeaux.

Germany substitution at 16 minutes, Sami Khedira of Juventus off and Bastian Schweinsteiger of Manchester Utd on.

HT Germany 0 Italy 0.

FH both teams pretty tight in defence, making for a tense FH, both playing this like a chess game, this could be one team briefly loses concentration and the other scores a goal, if not then I think the groundsmen might be thinking of getting the whitewash ready to touch up the penalty spot for the shoot-out.

Germany 1 Italy 0, Mesut Özil of Arsenal at 65 minutes.

It's about time Özil did something, he's been pretty much crap throughout this whole tournament, nearly as crap as Thomas Müller, the best player bizarrely isn't playing tonight and that's been Julian Draxler, not sure what Joachim Löw's thinking is on that one.

I think right about now all the racist bigots are having a wank, these are the types who hate types like Müller and Draxler because they're the wrong colour and not from the Religion of Peace or something, nobody actually brings this shit up until they bring it up, it's an obsession with the weirdos. We pity them poor things that this is what their lives revolve around.

Germany 1 Italy 1, Leonardo Bonucci of Juventus at 78 minutes from a penalty.

Deliberate handball from Jérôme Boateng of Bayern, of course any criticism of Boateng for that deliberate handball would be racist or something

So I'm sticking to my prediction of this match going to Extra Time, but I think the odds are with Italy now.

FT Germany 1 Italy 1.

Extra Time now coming up, I'd give the edge to Italy to score in ET, if this goes to a Penalty Shoot-Out then I'd give the edge to Germany to win.

AET Germany 1 Italy 1.

After Penalty Shoot-Out.

Germany 6 Italy 5.

Some of the WORST penalty misses I've ever seen from both teams, horrific, Germany missing three, Italy missing four.

That Penalty Shoot-Out could have gone either way.

Germany into the Semi-Finals.

[Ravi]

Why does the German coach keep sniffing himself?

 

[Kristian]

Khedira should goes to United there with Schweinsteiger or Mensah on central midfield ordinarys and Rooney could go back to midfielder to left and new RW to Utd or it's Pereira and Rooney wings then two new reserves and then Darmian and Varela on RB. Shaw and Blind LB and Rojo and Blackett and then two ordinary CB to Utd.

No 8 go to Zlatan.

Or Mourinho could play 3-5-2. 5 CB in the team. 3 play in 3-5-2 formation.

Rooney in central midfielder in 3-5-2.

Who go to semi today teams Hamilton??

 

[Kristian]

I wanna this team in Utd next season:

Martial - Ibrahimovic
Rooney - Mensah - Khedira - Schneiderlin - Darmian
new CB - Rojo - new CB
new keeper
​

Six new in my eleven.

 

[Kristian]

Off course some Wales succes in tournament with 3 central defenders and five midfielder and two pieces as strikers. New keeper in story or it is Victor Valdes next season??

Portugal haven't won a match in normal time in the whole tournament, I'd give Wales the edge in their match against Portugal.

France vs Iceland, France haven't been great and have been lucky with some very late goals in stoppage time, I wouldn't be surprised if Iceland beat France, could go into Extra Time.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

so is Lucy Hamiliton going to have a forth party? lol. That doesn't exist in your country I am sure,its just like any other day right? lol

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Sport News: Germany's Mesut Ozil: I'm as ambitious as Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo
Ozil compares himself to Ronaldo.
Tough call. In one sense Ronaldo is the more complete player. But Ozil is the greater man. Mature and a greater influence on his team that Ronaldo. The Germans would be half the team without him.

Quarter Final 4.

France vs Iceland KO at 9pm in about 38 minutes at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis which is about 9 km from the centre of Paris.

I want Iceland to win, they deserve to win, France haven't been impressive and have been lucky to somehow get some late goals in added time. Iceland have been very impressive and they deserve to get into the Semi-Finals.

 

[Tilly]

Congrats Germany
Fingers crossed for Iceland.

 

[Tilly]

Not looking good for Iceland. 2-0 to France already.

Not looking good for Iceland. 2-0 to France already.

No, Iceland doesn't deserve this.

 

[Tilly]

4-0 now. No way back for Iceland

FT the ******* French 4 Iceland 0.

Goals from Olivier Giroud at 12 minutes, Paul Pogba at 20 minutes, Dimitri Payet at 43 minutes and Antoine Griezmann at 45 minutes.

Next Thursday Mario Götze and André Schürrle better be playing, come on punish these ******* French bastards, Iceland are so nice, the French need to be severely punished à la Brasil in the 2014 World Cup....that was so sadistically delicious what punishment was inflicted on Brasil, the French need that sort of treatment.

SH.

France 5 Iceland 1

Kolbeinn Sigþórsson goal at 56 minutes for Iceland and Olivier Giroud goal at 59 minutes for France.

The only good thing about this terrible and horrific situation Iceland are now in, is that France can get their asses handed to them from Germany next Thursday.

If France had a leader that one could respect like Napoléon then it'd be Vive la France, but they don't they have Inspector Clouseau in the Palais de l'Élysée.

How is this even happening, how are France even performing. Their record in Euro 2016.

France 2 Romania 1, French goals at 57 and 89 minutes. France 2 Albania 0, French goals at 90 and 96 minutes. France 0 Switzerland 0. France 2 Republic of Ireland 1, French goals at 59 and 61 minutes.

France 5 Iceland 2, goal at 84 minutes by I don't know who the player is.

It's a pity they didn't get that second goal about 20 minutes ago, then they might have got this to a draw at FT and got into Extra Time. It's a greater pity that Iceland didn't play like this in the FH.

If France get goal 6, they'll be joint top scorer in the UEFA European Championship with the Netherlands.

That was in Euro 2000 Netherlands 6 Yugoslavia 1 (since 2006 the Yugoslavia football team has been called Serbia)

FT France 5 Iceland 2.

France into the Semi-Finals.
