Euro 2016

Pfft, nobody's too quick for our defence when they're rolling on the ground 

 

An equaliser is coming. This can't hold on forever.

Save, Tibo.

The amount of yellow hair dye the Belgian team has is only rivaled by the 1998 Romanians.

PELLE I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU

[stokeriño]

Lovely volley to kill the match.

[Baddar]

Well worked. 

[DavidMarrio]

Very unselfish there. Could have easily went for a shot on goal himself.

Italy were better in every way than Belgium, easily. Belgium have better players at their disposal but they've never really impressed me as a team in what is meant to be this Golden Age of their players. 

[Gazz]

Belgium without Kompany defend like Man City without Kompany.

[TCO]

Would've taken a point before the game, but disappointed we didn't see it out.

Belgium are nothing to fear and although I can't see us scoring against Italy, I don't see why we can't hold out for a point. All to play for!

[Baddar]

Belgium will win the other group games.

(I've spent two years talking them up. They're going to come good at some point, yes?)

Russia have been given a suspended disqualification from Euro 2016 over the crowd trouble at Saturday's game against England in Marseille.

Uefa, European football's governing body, has also issued Russia a 150,000 euro (£119,000) fine.

Uefa said the punishment will be imposed if similar incidents happen at any of Russia's remaining matches.

Groups of Russia fans are being deported from France after repeated scenes of violence at Euro 2016.

The suspended disqualification and fine only relates to incidents that occurred inside the stadium and are therefore under the jurisdiction of Uefa disciplinary bodies. The decision is open to appeal.

French police blamed 150 "well-trained" Russian hooligans for clashes before England played Russia on Saturday. Six England fans were jailed on Monday for their roles in the disorder.

Thirty-five people have been injured - most of them England fans and four seriously - while a total of 20 people were arrested after three days of disorder in Marseille.

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke expressed "serious concerns" about security in Lille, where England fans and Russian supporters are set to gather over the next three days.

England fans are likely to travel to Lille before Thursday's match against Wales in the nearby smaller town of Lens, while Russia play Slovakia in the city itself on Wednesday.

This whole thing only serves to further indicate what a barrel of laughs the 2018 World Cup is going to be for travelling fans...

The next two world cups are going to be all about the fans, what's more welcoming than militant thugs and extreme heat/repressive regimes

I hope they don't trash Lille because its such a beautiful city. But on the other hand it is where my ex is from so I'm torn.

[Lineker]

...apparently I completely missed that time Lothar Matthaus was the Hungary manager.

[9 to 5]

He sure was. It didn't go well....

[Baddar]

Austria aren't fucking about. Alaba hits the post inside a minute. 

[Lineker]

Austria hammer the post after just 30 seconds!

[Baddar]

The Hungary #9 hasn't scored in 40 games, 18 months for club or country.

Tbf Hannover were shit this season, I'm not surprised.
