[Football] Україна vs Македонија, Danmark vs Belgique / Belgie, Nederland vs Österreich

[Machiavelli]

Two lovely goals from Belgium.

Corrected for you

 

[Machiavelli]

Kjaer, what a giant. Eaten Lukaku all game long.

Kjaer's good but, if Lukaku's finishing and first touch was better, he'd be as good a CF as you could find pace, strength, height, work rate, etc.
Mind you, not so sure we should be speaking of anyone given KdB's contribution for both goals. Simply sublime.

Yup. Kjaer stopped Lukaku about 9 out of 10 times, but that one time is all he needs.

Soul crushing for Denmark though, they really deserved at least a draw in this one.

They're slightly less lazy than your average Brazilian side.
They turn it on when they need to.

Hence all the golden medals their super generation has won...

Good game that.

Not sure why Souness doubts Belgium going deep into the tournament. Class team. Danes are no mugs either.

Yup. Sad that Finland or Russia will go through on behalf of the Danes.

Six Belgian points however makes it likely Trossard will get game time in the game against Finland.

Denmark beat Russia and they may still get there.

Kev's goal was a fukken peach.

And his assist was a nectarine.

Now it's 1-0 to the Oranges.

VAR worked well there.
Nice to see the ref actually use the monitor too.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Without "I ****ed your Albanian mother!" I can't see Austria getting much out of this game.

It was a superb bit of Varring, didn't take long,the correct decision was made after the ref was not sure.
I hope Stockley Park are watching this.

 

[Motogull]

I know the Austrians have a rich history of dodgy mustaches, but that's a feeble effort. Is it drawn on?

VAR has been good all tournament imo, so far...

 

[Swansman]

Memphis Maupay

 

[El Turi]

Netherlands in complete control. It’s all been very easy for the big nations so far and there’s been no hint of any shocks but I guess that’s what happens when the tournament is extended to 24 teams.

 

[keaton]

Happy that Linekar's said the point I always try to make about strikers needing to shoot rather than lay it off.
