If this is the third time they have to bandage him up then he shouldn't be playing.

 

[Alucard]

Croatia not capitalizing on their chances. Could be 3 or 4 nil right now.

 

[GHG]

One of football's biggest myths. Fairly sure he has outscored Messi in El Classico for the last few seasons, scored for United in the 2008 Champion's League Final, scored twice against Bayern in 2014, scored twice against Arsenal in the 2008 Champion's League semi-final, scored in both legs against United during Alex Ferguson's last season.

Exactly. He needs just 1 more champions league final goal to be the first man to score in 3 different CL finals.

But he never turns up, innit.

 

[McMoneyman]

Large groups of England fans helping the locals to clean up the mess in Old Port from yesterday.

Good to read about stuff like this at least

 

[KingSnake]

Corluka should be taken out for his own sake.

 

[Cob32]

I wonder if that disqualification threat counts for violence outside a football ground aswell.

 

[Xater]

You need to have someone to take his place.

Him being on and off again doesn't help either. He clearly needs stitches and no amount of tape wil fix this.

 

[Joni]

Yes. Otherwise they couldn't blame England. But on the same count, should extend the threat to France than as well.

Still has quite a presence despite it. He is like one of the three most noticeable ones on the pitch.

they gonna get Englanded soon

 

[KingSnake]

So many opportunities missed by Croatia.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Turkey getting closer.

 

[Tubie]

Croatia playing with fire.

 

[Hedrush]

UEFA have warned both Russia and England that if there is any more trouble from any of their fans they will be disqualified.

[Beefy]

Bit weird to warn Russia and England. Yet Marseille thugs are kicking off as well.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Another lost chance.

 

[Bakkus]

Turkey are pathetic.

 

[CoolOff]

I'm sitting here with Brozovic, Perisic, Rakitic in my fantasy team and watch them waste chance after chance after chance. Fuck off.

They should take a harder line IMO.

 

[Melfice7]

The same Portugal that failed to impress during their last matches?
Yeah, no. ^^

The one playing against England with 10 players for 1 hour or the 7-0 against Estonia?

Either way none of that means shit at all, anything can happen in a tournament

I can never understand how they blame the international clubs, they can prevent people from attending matches locally but they have no authority outside of their own country. This just sounds like an invitation to encourage some people to cause more trouble.

At least there's some positive fan news from that area. Welsh football fans form guard of honour for newly-wed French couple on streets of Bordeaux

Good.

 

[Portugeezer]

They just need inspired Quaresma

He missed training due to injury. Hopefully he will be OK for the match vs Iceland.

 

[Carbonox]

I like the look of Emre Mor.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Tukish mid fielders, terrible with the final passes all game

 

[Alucard]

I don't think Turkey has the player quality to get a miracle equalizer here. Would be shocked if they got even one more legit chance.

I think the idea is that the respective FA are responsible for their fans and as such, should work harder in not letting the bad ones make it to the tournament via passport consfication e.t.c.

Great way to incite more violence SMH

 

[sora87]

What a player Modric is, seriously

 

[Cappa]

None of these teams have impressed me so far.

Portugal will win this tournament with ease if they turn up.

Bahahahahahahahahahhahahaahh

 

[Lego Boss]

Is it just me or does this whole competition feel like a clusterfuck for England?

Rioting in the south when the fans are culpable but not to blame, a team that plays the best of all the opening teams and still can't win and sanctioned by UEFA, when in many ways they need protection.

Something feels like l would be glad to be knocked out, l don't really see what good it's doing us.

 

[Wind's Howling]

It's an abolute terrible squad in the entire second half. I am stunned by their lack of quality.

 

[Jamie OD]

I like the look of Emre Mor.

He's a certified G and a bonafied stud and you can't teach that.

 

[El Topo]

He's a certified G and a bonafied stud and you can't teach that.

He's Bayern-bound though, aka Dortmund have signed him already.

 

[spekkeh]

Croatia stalling like it's the final.

 

[Phantast2k]

They should pass the ball to Emre Mor(e) often

 

[Juicy Bob]

Watching football can be the most infuriating thing at times

 

[PillarEN]

Poor guy's head took a beating today.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Corluka is still there?!

 

[spidye]

UEFA have warned both Russia and England that if there is any more trouble from any of their fans they will be disqualified.

http://www.skysports.com/share/10311663

very good.

 

[Pacbois]

Corluka is a beast still standing after that game

 

[Diancecht]

Corluka is the new Scott Sterling.

 

[D4Danger]

I don't like that the England fans are being lumped in with the organized gangs from Russia and nobody says anything about the locals but I guess that's the reputation you get.

clearly when one set of supports storms the other IN the stadium it's their fault.

 

[Jasup]

Croatia was strong, Turkey aimless

 

[ShinRPGamer]

So I was only able to catch the last 20 minutes of the game. How was the first 70 minutes? Was the match a good watch?

 

[Wind's Howling]

Croatia wins. Well deserved. They were the much better team, especially in the second half.

Turkey is going to have a tough time if they keep on playing like this in their next two matches.

 

[Agram]

Modrić and Rakitić were amazing
Well played

 

[Portugeezer]

There was bullshit involving some England supporters outside the stadium on the same day and the day prior.

 

[spekkeh]

It's an abolute terrible squad in the entire second half. I am stunned by their lack of quality.

They qualified at some distance behind Iceland, a country of some 300,000 people.

 

[KingSnake]

Deserved win for Croatia.

Euro didn't start yesterday evening for the English "fans".

UEFA Statement.

The UEFA Executive Committee would like to express its disgust for the violent clashes which occurred in the city of Marseille.

"Such unacceptable behaviour by so-called supporters of the national teams of England and Russia has no place in football, a sport we must protect and defend.

"The UEFA Executive Committee has warned both football associations that - irrespective of any decisions taken by the independent disciplinary bodies relating to incidents inside the stadium - it will not hesitate to impose additional sanctions on the Football Association (FA) and the Russian Football Union (RFU), including the potential disqualification of their respective teams from the tournament, should such violence occur again.

"We urge both the FA and the RFU to appeal to their supporters to behave in a responsible and respectful manner.

"We would also like to publicly voice our support for the work of the French Authorities and security forces for their efforts to deliver a safe and secure tournament in challenging circumstances
