50% of Iceland are going to call in sick tomorrow. What a great day.
I also got my driver's licence

Grats to both!



Belgium plays like they always do.

 

[Lilith]

You need a phd in UEFA to understand how the last 16 are set up

I see...xD

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

The hell. Sweden looking dangerous atm.

 

[Steve.1981]

Is Hazard any use as a captain?

I just don't see it at all.

 

[Lucreto]

That ref has an Italian Jersey underneath his shirt.

 

[protomouse]

Sweden with pressure.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Belgium is playing like absolute shit again. Unbelievable.

With the amount of room they have in the counters it is staggering they get so few decent attacks.

 

[Lego Boss]

Congratulations to Iceland!!! My wife and l had our honeymoon there and l always remember flying out of London on Monday and the plane was full of Icelandic Arsenal fans who travelled over every week. Was great to talk with them.

Always felt Scandinavian footballers played a game close to the British one, so hoping for a Prem League game on Monday!!!

The other 50% are currently in France. You could steal the whole country and no one would notice.



Grats on the license.

 

[John Dunbar]

it would be glorious if hungarian sweatpants took out belgium.

 

[Lender]

Lukaku, you moron

That last counter was a pretty good example on how to give up on great opportunities.

 

[CheDominik]

Vertonghen is dreadful as a fullback offensively. If Belgium had fullbacks worth a damn they would probably have the best team on paper.

 

[Divius]

more like poopaku

 

[His Majesty]

Quite a feat to have Hazard, De Bruyne and Carrasco in your team and generate 0% threat. Props to Wilmots

 

[TheJoRu]

Sweden gonna get hit by a late-game goal against them, I feel it in my bones.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Quite a feat to have Hazard, De Bruyne and Carrasco in your team and generate 0% threat at all. Props to Wilmots

They had great chances on their crosses earlier.

 

[chalkitdown1]

Ireland need to fucking score! All this crazy possession and nothing to show for it.

 

[johancruijff]

Thiago Motta you dumbfuck

 

[KingSnake]

This is group formed just from teams that would normally be present also in a 16 teams Euro.

Are you entertained?

 

[Jamie OD]

Ireland need to fucking score! All this crazy possession and nothing to show for it.

We eventually keep passing it back to the keeper. We've been like this forever. It drives me nuts.

 

[KillerMan91]

Has any team done a single goal from corner in this tournament?

 

[JDB]

Belgium look uninspired.

 

[cilonen]

We eventually keep passing it back to the keeper. We've been like this forever. It drives me nuts.

I keep expecting to see Roy Keane roaming the technical area with a loaded shotgun.

Ireland and Sweden wouldn't have been in the Euro if it consisted of 16 teams. They both were third in their groups

 

[paperboywriter]

I think I'm off, both games are below average. Hoping for Sweden or Ireland to score but I doubt they get there.

 

[Jamie OD]

I keep expecting to see Roy Keane roaming the technical area with a loaded shotgun.

He currently looks like he's ready to sacrifice a lamb at an altar.

 

[Bri]

FUCKING BULLSHIT.

 

[spekkeh]

That didn't seem offside to me.

 

[Grassclipper]

Bullshit call from the ref

 

[protomouse]

WTF ref

 

[kottila]

That didn't seem offside to me.

The linesman didn't flag according to our commentators. Must have been for a foul or dangerous play

 

[Baleoce]

Somebody score please

 

[PuppetSlave]

shit ref

 

[Paganmoon]

"dangerous play" when the defender has his head at waist height. Give me a break...

 

[Lego Boss]

Bullshit call from the ref

Webb will spin his lies.

 

[El Topo]

The linesman didn't flag according to our commentators. Must have been for a foul or dangerous play

Yeah, called it off for dangerous play. Debatable decision.

 

[Sniper McBlaze]

Haha. What was the call? Dangerous play? Yeah, the foot is going to be close to the head if the defender is diving in head first.

 

[chalkitdown1]

I'd like to see the stats on how many fouls Italy have committed in this game.

 

[paperboywriter]

Hey belgium shot at the goal.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

I'd like to see the stats on how many fouls Italy have committed in this game.

Do you think Italy really cares how this game goes? lol

 

[Divius]

I'd like to see the stats on how many fouls Italy have committed in this game.

17

 

[Syder]

I wouldn't mess with Roy.

 

[Lilith]

I have just found this video and the title just explains everything:

"Why 24 is an awful number for a knockout tournament"

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ber-for-a-knockout-tournament-euro-2016-video

Though I like it better with the eight teams more in the tournament, usually I only watch the world championship.

 

[CrayToes]

Do you think Italy really cares how this game goes? lol

Hasn't stopped them from employing their traditionally slimy tactics.

 

[Sniper McBlaze]

Isaksson has always had world class reactive saves. It's a shame he was born with two wooden planks as legs. I'd also say he has the personality of one.

 

[Eanan]

How are we not winning this, had so much of the ball, in good positions, and a definite pen not given. Can see this ending 0-0 with Italia just defending for the last 10.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

fuck that was close!

 

[CrayToes]

Now he puts it in Lol

 

[gutter_trash]

and Sweden goes home


oh wait, offside
