Group F - France, Germany, Hungary, Portugal

[Lillian Thomson]

I like the stadium, they should just move the final there anyway. Obviously wouldn't be the same atmosphere without Hungary but still better than Wembley and the ordeal the government will make it to attend.

And came to the World Cup with the top scorer in England (Henry), Italy (Trezeguet) and France (Cissé) and contrived to score 0 goals.

Had them in the sweepstake at work.

Thought, for once, I was in with a shout.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

the Hungarians will make it a ballache for foreign fans to attend too, at least if they suspect them of being Jewish, gay, black, or any intersection of those

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

come on germany

****

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jerry looking a different team to the one who played France.

Now that's how you counter

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll just shut my big fat mouth, eh?

Had been all Germany until then though.

3-4-3 not working. Kroos and gundogan both of them are too vulnerable with their defensive works

Wing backs are shredding Portugal right now though so on balance, maybe worth it

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Own goal galore

 

[BoyBrumby]

Comedy stuff from Portugal, but 2-1 looks a fairer reflection of play.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Portugal will be a major threat in the second half when they're supposed to shoot in that net.

 

[Spark]

Any Portuguese player feel like getting within the same postcode as Kimmich at some point?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Germany needs another goal to secure this. Portugal seems to be scoring every time on counter attack

 

[Spark]

Really fun half

 

[Howe_zat]

5 own goals in one tournament is comfortably a record for the Euros. Also unmatched by any world cup from before they moved to a 32-team format in 1998.

2018 world cup is miles ahead for major tournaments with 12. I wonder if there's something in the way own goals are credited now compared to years past that's making it happen.

VAR surely

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Gosens player of the match absolutely crushed this game

 

[Spark]

This is dismal from Portugal
