[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 6

[hart's shirt]

Got to say that I'm absolutely loving the Euros so far.

Goals galore, strikes outside the box, end to end football, Georgia throwing their goalkeeper forward in the first group game...

It's been spectacular.

 

[HyperTony]

That was brilliant

Albania!

Albania!

Shqipëri!

So pleased but should have started Hoxha.

I wouldn’t say Albania sat back once going 1-0 up as could/should have scored 3 in the first half and didn’t get out of their half for much of the second as Croatia’s dominance was stifling.

A great point in the end, not enough to go through but tremendous progress from a team who used to be the whipping boys a few years ago.

RIP Colin King, Sadly died in his sleep, possibly after having a fantastic few days with a bit of luck. He doesn’t appear to be a “kid” so without sounding hard with the numbers that have traveled statistically there was always a chance some wouldn’t get home. (I once went on a cruise when someone died and as shocked as some of the holidaymakers were, speaking to some of the staff it seemed to be a normal part of events that they had dealt with regularly)
Anyway I’m sure football fans will unite with genuine condolences to his family and friends.

Groß on the bench again

I think that’s a goal, nothing wrong with that

 

[US Seagull]

Absolute shambles in the Hungarian defense.

Germany 1-nil up

Not for Germany in Germany

 

[jcdenton08]

Not for Germany in Germany

I really don’t think it’s a foul though, in my view

 

[US Seagull]

Credit where it's due. I thought the move had broken down, but the Hungarians worked hard to keep it alive so that the Germans could score.

Very sporting

Of course it wasn’t.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Hope we don't have to play Hungary they'd slaughter us with that pace going forwards

I really don’t think it’s a foul though, in my view

It wasn’t, defender had to be stronger than that and then the keeper should have grabbed it.

It would 100% be ruled out if we scored it against Liverpool or Arsenal, however.

 

[Hugo Rune]

WTF

Is that Hürzeler referring the Germany game? I suppose because he was born in the USA, he is allowed to? Weird.

"It's in the back of the end"...."I wondered why he wasn't celebrating"........"It hit the side netting" (Germany v Hungary) - How sh1t at commentating do you need to be to work for the BBC?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Comfortable half that. Germany in complete control.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Second half snacks

Lets hope Scotland lose 7 - 0 later.
