Ha, that's better.

Got to admit this match has been pretty good, who'd have thunkthis group of stink would give us some ofthe best stories/football?

Hungary showing England you're allowed to shoot from outside the box.

Fun game this.

 

[GIMH]

Wow would go to a penalty shootout if Iceland and Portugal are dead level on everything.

How does that work? I know you can have pens between two sides in the group stage if level after three games having played each other in the third, but unless I'm missing a trick Iceland and Portugal aren't playing each other

Aye, well that's what it says in the rules. Looking unlikely now.

Oh ****. Those two goals have put Portugal in 2nd.

 

[Scaly piscine]

All of a sudden going quiet now that Portugal are in ****ing second.

 

[GIMH]

Austria out as it stands so hopefully they push up and get hit on the counter

 

[OverratedSanity]

[Scaly piscine]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

No offence to Iceland.

 

[Pothas]

That was crazy.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, football, bloody hell.

Croatia v Portugal will be tasty. Well unless Portugal revert to their usual boring 10 men behind the ball crap.

They will, this was a one-off. I hope I'm wrong though, I mean as much as an arse Cristiano is, one of the reasons I generally hate modern Portugal is their style-of-play. Would be nice if this match said to them, "hey you know, we've got quite a decent attacker, let's play to his strengths" They might then be liked.

Mind you Ronaldo doing the Presser whilst not allowing Press to ask questions won't help.

 

[Redbacks]

What a performance from C Ronaldo. His first goal was simply brilliant. Without the yips I guess he'd be the top scorer in the tournament right now.

 

[Uppercut]

His all-round link-up was so good. Even before he set up Nani we were talking about how well he was playing.

One datapoint but Pepe looks on another level when you watch him in person. For someone who comes across as such an idiot sometimes he has serious footballing intelligence.

 

[Furball]

Shame he's a scumbag
