UEFA Euro 2016 Group A ** spoilers** (Albania, France, Romania, Switzerland)

[Kerplunk]

Everyone in the stadium is standing... Except the Romania supporters.

Another masterful bit of insight from Glenn

 

[Participant]

Well he won't be at West Ham for long.

Duhhh

 

[nemtizz]

Horrific subs from Deschamps. Break a leg, Moussa.

 

[Gilly]

Well he won't be at West Ham for long.

££££££££££

He just added a fair amount to his fee

 

[dacads]

Well he won't be at West Ham for long.

Exactly what I thought, hopefully at United soon

 

[Ricochet J]

West Ham will do very well to keep hold of him in the summer.

He'll get pinched.

 

[Gilly]

He's crying the big girl

Teams that start off playing awesome football rarely win tournaments

So Romania worth a punt then?

Why don't England have a full trophy cabinet then?

I think you both conveniently missed out the start bit of my sentence.

 

[nemtizz]

Standard Moussa, the ****ing fraud.

 

[Gilly]

It's happened on many occasions that teams that have started off steadily and built through the tourney rather than starting like a house on fire have gone on to win it. Think that may have been the point.

 

[Sui]

one poxy corner off £50, and to think there was 1 not given in the first half.

blahhhh

 

[robfosters]

Blimey, Bilic looks emotional too!

 

[Mr Jack]

Not exactly the performance of tournament favourites from France, was it? Still, they'll be happy to have the first game in the bag and Romania should be happy with their performance

 

[Jokester]

I think you both conveniently missed out the start bit of my sentence.

Romania were playing awesome football

Yeah. I think when you go rocketing off and smashing everyone, the adrenaline flows too much and you get mentally tired too soon.

 

[FrankJH]

I think Romania should have won that.

Should really have scored in the first few minutes and deserved the blatant pen (and Evra also should have given away at least one dangerous free kick on the left side of the box - if not two).

Credit to Payet, it was a great goal, and Pogba did come up with some great flicks etc but also put the French back 4 un-necessarily under pressure a few times

Romania were the better team over all I thought and couldn't take their chances

 

[No1newts]

Payet in my dream team

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Yeah. I think when you go rocketing off and smashing everyone, the adrenaline flows too much and you get mentally tired too soon.

Least a some people haven't had too many shandies tonight

 

[Artery]

Had 2-0, Giroud & Payet to score but that donkey Evra ruins it for me.

Thought Romania did enough to take a point there. France had a lot of the ball in the second half, but Romania defended excellently - in numbers, pressing and worked very hard. I can't really remember the Romanian keeper having to make any saves of note in the second half.

Didn't think much of the officiating. The French were given every 50:50 for the first 60 minutes - the ref didn't even seem to give the penalty until advised otherwise - and then the refereeing was equally poor for both sides in the last half an hour. Not that I'm suggesting anything, but if I were a Romanian the last person I'd want to referee my game would be a Hungarian!
