UEFA Euro 2024 Quarter Finals ** spoilers ** [5th - 6th July 2024]

[Trusty]

Who’s the best at scoring free kicks at the moment (worldwide, not just this game)?

JWP/Messi maybe

 

[Tombstone]

1 shot on target in 45mins, yup, thats a France/Portugal quarter final alright

 

[Ayahuasca]

That was turgid after what looked to be a high paced start.

 

[Shamikebab]

Both teams just don't have attacking quality. Portugal try too hard to create for Ronaldo and France just don't have a balanced team going forward. It's Mbappe and Kolo Muani who are both better at finishing than creating. Who is creating for them?

Mbappe is drifting onto the wing, and Muani just does feel he can be the target man.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Giroud come on

Isn't she associated with VAR/the rules rather than being some random. Shes been all over the Euros explaining the nuances and interpretations for the pundits.

Used to be a ref I think.

 

[Tombstone]

Do tv stations issue free shoes to pundits? 3 of them on there have the same shoes on

 

[Lopéz]

Pens written all over this. France look like they don't have any ideas at all.

 

[scarps]

I fell asleep during that half

I'm putting it down to listening to Johanna Konta and Murphy on co comms for the past 3 hours.

 

[Shamikebab]

Of course the English ref bottles giving the yellow for diving

 

[sprite1275]

Why don't they use var for blatant diving? One look at that with no contact straight red. It would soon stop.

Shameful dive by mendes. Feaking hate Portugal for this.

 

[Tombstone]

Of course the English ref bottles giving the yellow for diving

Probably due to France not being owned by an oil state

 

[rypt]

Shameful dive by mendes. Feaking hate Portugal for this.

Mendes though this was the European Championships, and he was there to represent Portugal in the 5m dive

 

[scarps]

So many players are so bad at crossing the ball.

 

[Tombstone]

What the hell, now that the mask has been removed I've just noticed that its Mbappe !

 

[Mr Jack]

Ouch

 

[Calpol]

I've been impressed by Vitinha in all the games. He's more than tidy and I can see why he's keeping Neves X2 out of the team. Sadly there is no cutting edge in either of these teams. Game needs a goal.
