Thanks for making the new OT Footballfan.

Great title too!

Buffon has been absolutely consistent.

Trio BBC had been consistent.

Motta had been consistent in doing nothing.

Germany Boateng and Kross had also been consistent.

Neuer also had been consistent.

If you only watch England, i can see that view here.

Götze has been incredibly consistent.

 

[neorej]

Götze has been incredibly consistent.

Löw has also been consistent!

 

[la_briola]

I hope Italy vs Germany is the most boring game ever so you guys can shut up with the narrative that Portugal is boring and doesn't deserve to be here.

Let me quote Baristan Selmy from GoT.

"Rhaegar fought honorably. Rhaegar fought bravely. Rhaegar died."

:lol

just be glad Portugal got this far, whatever happens with the other games doesn't make your matches better/more enjoyable

[casiopao]

Götze has been incredibly consistent.

Yup. It is sad here that more or less, Italy and Germany player is the most consistent in this cup.

Belgium is also quite consistent after getting beat by Italy there.

I had question though. Is there ever in huge competition, same team which faced in group can end up meeting in final again here? I can't remember lol.

At Euro 96 Germany and Czech Republic played each other in the group stage and then in the final.

 

[emigre]

Wales v Iceland. Dream final.

 

[Nomad Blue]

In Lille at the moment, and never have so many drunk people cared so little for the result. They could pull the result out of the hat and nobody would be bothered as long as the party continued.

(Wales to win 2-1, but even if we lose will be proud of what we've achieved)

World Cup 1954: Hungary - Germany - 8:3 in group stage, 2:3 in finale

 

[Hoo-doo]

I hope my belgian friends can make it happen again tonight.

Crush these fools.

 

[SporeCrawler]

Götze has been incredibly consistent.

Götze might be suitable for a team like Bayern Muenchen but there is no place for him in the German National Team

World Cup 1954: Hungary - Germany - 8:3 in group stage, 2:3 in finale

Known as the Miracle of Bern.

 

[Kiraly]

Known as the Miracle of Bern.

A miracle of the Germans having 'found' a crate of wartime amphetamines. Fuck them.

 

[Baleoce]

Kind of crazy that Portugal haven't beaten a single team within the initial 90 minutes yet this tournament. Would be even funnier if they ended up winning it that way.

Last euro,spain and italy were in the same group.

 

[GoldenCrow]

Yes there is.

 

[KingSnake]

I'm still amazed at the mental gymnastics at play to discredit Portugal, and those Greece 2004 comparisons, that's the Mt. Everest of delusions.

You're right, Greece 2004 actually won some games in that Euro.

 

[CassSept]

Belgium is also quite consistent after getting beat by Italy there.

Apart from examples posted above (prime example being Portugal in 2004) four years ago Spain and Italy were both in the same group and then met in the final. So this is a far more common occurrence than you might expect.

 

[kromeo]

Always look forward to Portugal being knocked out. Their current team might not dive quite as much as some of the previous ones (except Pepe, what a rat that man is) but they've replaced it with playing for penalties right from the start

Holland v USSR EURO '88

Holland 1 - 3 USSR (1st Round)

i don't know what matches you've been watching, but against poland portugal was actively looking for the winner before the extra time. poland were clearly the ones hoping for penalties before 90 minutes was even up.

Hungary was the same you know according to reports. The playing field was even. Plus it was never conclusively proven anyway what the substances were

 

[Matush]

Come on Belgium.

 

[Baleoce]

Whatever happens tonight, we've far exceeded expectations and it's a great achievement already. That being said, I hope we give them hell

 

[Mimosa97]

Could someone explain the title to me ? I don't get it

 

[SHarris78]

30 mins to go, already shittin' bricks.

 

[KingSnake]

I hope we get that Bale vs. Ronaldo in the semis.

 

[Undead]

Could someone explain the title to me ? I don't get it

Bale + Wales = Bales
Confronts a hazard (Eden Hazard)

At least that's my understanding of it, possibly would be better if it was "encounters" instead of confronts

 

[Portugeezer]

C'mon Wales you cunts.

I want to see Ronnie vs Bale in the semis.

 

[Undead]

3-1 for Belgium

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Rooting for Wales tonight! Go underdogs!

 

[Unain]

Wales vs Iceland Final pls!

Let's hope for a good match tonight though!

Bales ?

Have Gaf OT titles gone too far ?

 

[Gigarator]

Hoping Wales get thrashed here just because Robbie Savage will be heartbroken.

 

[Tempy]

Rooting for Belgium, but wouldn't mind if Wales went through either!

 

[Baleoce]

Hoping Wales get thrashed here just because Robbie Savage will be heartbroken.

In fairness, he even annoys the Welsh.

C'mon Wales you cunts.

I want to see Ronnie vs Bale in the semis.

That would be delicious.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Ok Wales, you had a good run

No more Bale outs

 

[Miggy]

Let's go Belgium.

 

[SHarris78]

Shearer, Rio and Saunders all choose Wales to win, that's done it then.

 

[John Dunbar]

wales has to win just so bale can score a free kick goal against portugal.

 

[sneakypete]

hype

 

[KingSnake]

That's a lot of water. Who has a better water polo team?

 

[JetSetRadio]

Filip is there, no worries.

 

[la_briola]

I would be okay with that.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

COME ON WALES!
