Brilliant, what a performance from Georgia. They were incredible to a man, any one of them could’ve been man of the match.
That was a masterclass defensive and counter attacking performance, and probably my favourite of the tournament so far. They were absolutely immense.
Yes, Portugal made changes and were poor, but Georgia absolutely deserved that and the clean sheet.
Also, the referee Mr. Mykola Balakin of Ukraine was quite outstanding.
Absolutely buzzing after that, and delighted that Portugal’s first half shenanigans not only didn’t reward them, but punished them. Ronaldo going off (before he was sent off!) tail between his legs was a thing of beauty.
Kvaratskhelia is an absolute diamond of a player. The dribble with six players around them before being fouled was absolutely insane. WOW. What a player.

Said Ajax bought him for 40 million (somethings) but he couldn't get into their team.

The worst Ajax team perhaps ever. It’s a strange one

That game has broken a record for the number of cards in a Euro finals - if the BBC stats are correct I have counted 19 in total.

Agree with every word.
Incredible performance by Georgia. The parties in tblisi will be quite something.
They have a team they can be very proud of. I'm glad we're not playing them, my loyalty would be severely tested
If playing 'like paraplegic terrapins with their legs stapled together' and going all out to send everyone into a coma, is what you consider 'lucky' then I'll stick with my preference for a good manager.

Willy Sagnol has distilled passion, discipline and skill into a fabulous Georgian side. Loved R7’s smacked-arse face.

Lucky = progress in tournament. Comas and disadvantaged terrapins are optional.If playing 'like paraplegic terrapins with their legs stapled together' and going all out to send everyone into a coma, is what you consider 'lucky' then I'll stick with my preference for a good manager.
Maybe something behind the scenes?
