Euro 2020(1)

Hell of a run. Pinballed its way in as well.

Never a fan of ruling something like that an own goal

Me neither, and then all of a sudden Szczesny is involved and my feelings on the matter change slightly.

[Chris2K]

Not wasting any time getting level. 

I hope the net's OK after that brutal finish.

Poland came out to play finally!

What the balls. I've never heard of this, but this is how my brain calculates how a game is going. I'm weirded out.

 

Seems I tuned in just in time to see a lively second half! I can't pick my favourite here, my Slovakian pals are not pleased with me.

[Chris2K]

Outside of the current game, the UK COVID restrictions being extended until July 19th means no full capacity crowds for the Euro semis and final at Wembley.

Hey, a sending off. That could undo all of Poland's second half progress.

[Szumi]

Absolutely stupid challenge to make on a yellow, especially by a veteran. Poland had every chance to win this match and now? Going to be highly unlikely.

[The Kraig]

I'd like to defend him, as it was just clumsy, but man...he's really screwed his tournament over almost nothing. Thought the first card was a bit weak in fairness, and he wasn't taken off so...danger was always there.

Slovakia need to try to win this now.

That's Poland's only chance of getting a result, honestly. Maybe sneak a counter when they bring that block up.

[gunnar hendershow]

First card probably shouldn't have been one but that doesn't matter. He knew he was on a yellow and he made an incredibly sloppy challenge. Foolish.

Now Poland have to try to hang on for the point and likely hope they get 3 against Sweden.

That's the real quiz.

Edit: Just looked, and not only have I already blocked that account long ago (on brand), the xG for the second goal was 0.01. It's fucking shite.

Great finish for a centre back.

[Szumi]

Well fuck 😞

[gunnar hendershow]

Well that was quick. Would be pretty wild if Slovakia and Finland both managed to make the knockouts.

Johnson said that Euro 2020 and also theatrical performances cam have more attendees, as pilot events.

And he plays for arguably the worst team in the league!

Bet the gammons are loving having Emma Hayes talking about double pivots and other footballing terms they have zero concept of.

Another player out there too now for another team that isn't particularly good this season.
