Keeper could have saved that if he'd have just threw himself/made himself big. Lazy stuff.

Chief poseur finally takes a chance, that'll be the idiots on the BBC raving about him for hours. Looks like he meant to sidefoot it but it kinda flicked off his toe.
Heh 3-1 now.

If you didn't see that hitting the hand you're blind.
Tom Halsey
International Coach
Yes, but it's never a penalty tbf.
Have to say I've enjoyed these Euros immensely so far. Probably due to England being out, hence it is without all the ridiculous hype.

Huh? Stops the ball from hitting the post, at the very least. At that stage all "deliberate" goes out of the window.
Tom Halsey
International Coach
No, it doesn't.
Rules specifically state that if it isn't deliberate, then it's not handball no matter what the advantage.

Now this means if Romania lose by a margin of two goals or even less (ie a draw or even Romanian win) to the Dutch AND Italy draw with France, yer Romanians are going on through. But, if we get a result out of Italy-France, Romania need to win.... Oh the drama.
Hmmm, this commo bloke is speaking like the Van Persie goal was God-like. While the set-up from Ruud and Robben was excellent, if Van Persie hit it two inches more to the left Coupe would have stopped it.
Henry's goal was great and in no way a fluke. Robben's was precision at its best. Kuyt was all over his defender (not necessarily a good thing) and Shneijder's goal made me punch the air as i picked him to score in the tipping comp.

After looking at it, appears you're right.
Suppose you could argue that he's running into it and it's deliberate that way, but at least the ref is on somewhat dry ground. Could see why Henry was incensed, anyway.

No. Head-to-head goes first, so only in the event of a 0-0 draw between Italy and France does it go to goal difference, in which a two-goal or less loss.
Though the last time I can recall a 6-2-1-1 situation at a championship was at the World Cup 1998, when both Norway & Paraguay were in Romania's situation and made it through (at the expense of Morocco & Spain respectively)

Wait what? Head-to-head against each other? So if its 56-56 in FRA-ITA, while Netherlands beat Romania 2-0 who goes through?
