Not much happening on the pitch to justify it.

 

[kevo]

Shame they got rid of Clive T.

 

[Swegulls]

Both team seems to be scared to lose. The tempo is really slow. Missed the start of it, is it extremly hot there or?

 

[Grizz]

De Bruyne really doesn't seem to enjoy playing in the Belgium team, always seems to get very frustrated. Are they the team that is rumoured to have a lot of internal division?

Looks like Germany has similar weather to the UK today. The thunderstorms have moved east.

The ITV commentary? I’ve given up and am watching on French TV, a bit excitable but at least it’s bearable

Ah, okey. Yesterday we got that GER-DEN weather here in my part of Sweden, heavy rain/thunderstorms.

Don’t they always? Them n the Dutch habitually seem to get proper stroppy with each other when things get a bit tricky. Loving Griezmanns Wham tribute hairstyle.

I don't know about any rumours, but they didn't look very #Together from what I recall from the group stages, a few of them having little niggles at each other for bad passes etc.

Can anyone explain to me why Opta do not have this down as a shot on target by KdB ?

And yes, I do have KdB shot on target in a bet builder

The only thing I can think of is that it was an indirect free kick but, if not, it can only be a shot on target shirley.

First half of utter dross from both sides. Dare I say, very England like.

I thought about that, but the ref's arm is not raised indicating indirect

 

[Triggaaar]

Is this an English ref?

Bloody ridiculous decision.

Yes, although there are glimpses of unrealised quality. The ref is dreadful though.

 

[HangletonGull]

Neither of these two teams get past Portugal or Slovina in the quarterfinals

A Swede …

Two balls on the pitch for a bit there
