Portugal v Austria should be one of the best matches so far, in theory anyway.

I'm looking forward to that one, it's gonna be hilarious

 

[Lego Boss]

Löw was clearly stoned at today's press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFv3mb54w0Q (German)

Good shit man!

'Oh no, hang on, that's just the stench of the tagnuts from my arse'.

 

[Bri]

So, Belgium-Ireland 0-0, Italy-Ireland 2-0 and Sweden-Belgium 0-0.

Sweden can actually end up on 2nd place in the group without a single shot on goal.

Believe! We can do it! Ibra! Ibra! Ibra!

 

[Stereogatari]

I still believe Turkey will go through, all the results will go our way.

 

[Cappa]

Belgium with false9*lukaku out yfc in this is interesting

 

[chalkitdown1]

C'MON IRELAND!

 

[usp84]

Carrasco starting good

 

[Phantast2k]

Good shit man!

Meanwhile a Belgian invented the business casual style for football fandom:

Belgian lineup: https://twitter.com/UEFAEURO/status/744144556141199360

Dembele in, Fellaini is really benched.

 

[immortal-joe]

Oofff Hazard. Should have buried that.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yeah... about that...

I'm sorry, but you cannot compare throwing plastic beer cups to starting fucking riots.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

The fuck Eden?

 

[hobblygobbly]

Lol what the hell was that.

 

[immortal-joe]

Game slowly heating up. We have the makings of a good one. Dembele over Fellaini paying dividends.

Edit: offside!

 

[Lego Boss]

Best team in BENELUX.

 

[immortal-joe]

I guess we can call that a shot...

 

[Lender]

Lukaku is just horrendous. Has he done anything right this first half hour?

 

[Oersted]

That crawling over the field xD

 

[johancruijff]

Cmon Ireland wake up

 

[Lego Boss]

LOLkaku.

I really didn't realise he was playing (turned in about 20 mins ago).

Perhaps him and Sterling could be at Man City next season.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Not feeling Meunier at right back. Feel Denayer might be a better option for this game even though that isn't his main position.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

OUCH....

 

[Rellik]

A thorough account of why some Croatian fans caused trouble last night

Lack of ID check is disturbing

There's also talk over on Torcida Split page about causing more trouble at the Spain game.

 

[Sgtpepper89]

LOLkaku.

I haven't watched many Citygames last season but I wonder what Pep will do with Sterling. Never seen him perform especially well.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Jesus, lads, don't just hoof it to them over and over.

 

[Lego Boss]

Jesus, lads, don't just hoof it to them over and over.

This is it. IF EIRE get it down they could cause some damage, BEL's defence looks shaky at best.

 

[immortal-joe]

Belgium are excellent up until that 18 yard line, then things go to shit.

 

[Lender]

Hendrick, what an idiot.

 

[Shito]

Hendrick, what an idiot.

Love the fact that he then protests when getting a yellow haha.

 

[Oriel]

Not really sure what Hendrick was trying to accomplish there. :|

Eire?!

 

[GoldenCrow]

I haven't watched many Citygames last season but I wonder what Pep will do with Sterling. Never seen him perform especially well.

Played well until injured then was pretty much dropped. Was used as a winger with KdB using Sterlings speed to usually play him into space rather than making him beat the man, which he is poor at. He has really poor decision making and bad at creating space for himself. If Pep can do what he did with Coman then Sterling could become amazing but if not then he will probably wither away.

 

[Shito]

Not really sure what Hendrick was trying to accomplish there. :|

Stop the game because he felt his team was not properly ready for the quick throw.

 

[Firemind]

Does Belgium actually have a plan here?

 

[Lego Boss]

Not really sure what Hendrick was trying to accomplish there. :|




Eire?!

Yeah, Republic of Ireland?

 

[immortal-joe]

Carrasco got hit badly.

 

[Phantast2k]

Looks like Carrasco is dead :|

 

[Lego Boss]

Kevin de Bruyne's face is so red it looks like he's been on a poppers jag.

 

[Lender]

How the hell was that not a yellow? Ref just doesn't care that Carrasco has been injured.

 

[jimbobsmells]

I still believe Turkey will go through, all the results will go our way.

How are you going to manage that with no points?

 

[Tempy]

Looks like Carrasco is dead :|

/me presses F to pay respects

 

[Empty]

belgium make me so upset, imagine this team with a competent manager who liked attacking football.

I prefer this to half naked ukrainians with swastikasceptions on their bare chests.

 

[Oriel]

That or he didn't see the replacement ball.

Yeah, Republic of Ireland?

Right. Unless someone is speaking in the Irish language you wouldn't refer to Ireland as "Eire" (that's not even its correct spelling). As an Irishman I hate seeing this term used, often in a derogatory sense by some. No one would refer to Belgium as Belgique.

 

[figadapaura]

Pretty tragic display from both teams so far. If only Ireland had any clue when in front of goal.

 

[Shito]

That or he didn't see the replacement ball.

Nah, he played a pass right on the Belgium player dribbling a ball already, it was very much on purpose. ^^
He would have played forward if he didn't see the other ball, not backward towards a player from the opposite team, with a ball already in his feet.

 

[Lego Boss]

Sorry you're so offended.

My mum is Irish so l wouldn't use it in a derogatory fashion.

Perhaps you should take it in the spirit it was intended rather than making baseless assumptions.

 

[Spider from Mars]

24 teams was a mistake

 

[John Dunbar]

24 teams was a mistake

yeah, belgium should never have been there.

 

[Dinokill]

Yeah, 24 teams was a terrible idea but the stadiums are full and UEFA/FIFA only cares about money.

I really hope the WC doesn't do this expansion shit.

 

[Oriel]

Not accusing you, just clarifying and I understand no malice was intended. I've long wondered why "Eire" is so prevalent in the UK to refer to Ireland mind you. Anyway back to Ireland's luck running out.

 

[Oersted]

24 teams was a mistake

BIGGEST EURO OF ALL TIME.


But lets face it,would have been trash anyway
