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

Germany's first QF for 8 years?

I always somehow think they're in at least the last 8 or better every tournament. Huh.

Yeah. That’s surprising. I think one year they went out the group stage didn’t they or maybe didn’t even qualify?

 

[adidan]

Hoping for a German win, but the head says Spain have got this.

Yeah, potato Europe has to stick together against tomato Europe.

Komm schon Deutschland!

 

[Stu999]

Thank God the football is back. I’ve been so bored.

 

[Stu999]

Lucky not to get a card there really.

 

[MartinPrince]

Pedri is gone, that knee got bent back on itself.

 

[Mr Jack]

Surprisingly ugly start to this. Surely the first of those deserved a card.

Yeah I think that was a WC they didn't leave the group. Not sure tbh.

 

[MartinPrince]

Nice play acting by Kimmich...

 

[Stu999]

English referees are embarrassing.

Soft yellow imo

Probably wants to stop some of these tackles that are going on. There was contact but arguably a soft yellow card.

Yeah I don’t disagree on the foul, there was obvious intent to pull out of the challenge which is why I questioned the card

 

[Martynt74]

Nah. The Rudiger one was fair for me.

 

[Stu999]

Is Dani Olmo 5’ tall?

This has to be the quote of the tournament!

Doesn’t really matter though surely. You fly in two footed and realise you’re not getting the ball and try and pull out mid way but the ref is still pulling the red card out.

 

[Participant]

Very entertaining so far. Such a contrast to England games.

 

[MartinPrince]

Germany need to get Tony Kroos more on the ball so he can set the tempo. He hardly touched it in the first 15 and the game was too open - great watch though.

I hate the amount of "hugging" that occurs inside the box on corners in the modern game
