2024 UEFA Men’s European Championship

[fletcherpost]

My gut says England
My head says England.
My arse says England.
But my left nipple says Netherlands.
My genitals have not responded - yet.

I'm concerned. Spain are the fancied side to go all the way, but I'd rather it be done tonight.

Yes.

Oh yes

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Wow

 

[DJnVa]

Nice!

 

[singaporesoxfan]

That was fast

 

[ifmanis5]

Rocket. Rice got dog walked.

 

[rguilmar]

What a strike

 

[67YAZ]

Xavi!!! They just kept dropping back off him, it was an invitation to shoot!

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Maybe a foul?

 

[Bozo Texino]

FUCK YES

 

[Kliq]

Pretty much the textbook definition of a thunderbolt. What a goal.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Hell of a strike. Love it!

 

[nayrbrey]

what power in that strike.

 

[CodPiece XL]

That works… happy dance.

 

[coremiller]

Pickford has to save that. It wasn't like Yamal's yesterday that curved into the top corner.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Just before that goal was a masterclass by Saka to singlehandedly squash an English counterattack opportunity. No shots before afternoon tea.

 

[SLC Sox]

I am a casual fan only but come from a proud Dutch family with the Dutchest name you can imagine and we are pleased with the start.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Saka clearly the best England player

 

[67YAZ]

I am a casual fan only but come from a proud Dutch family with the Dutchest name you can imagine and we are pleased with the start.

Jos De Groot?

 

[Verryfunny2]

Good start. Long way to go.

 

[fletcherpost]

England will now play with urgency, until they score, and then they will return to their shell...

 

[Bozo Texino]

I am a casual fan only but come from a proud Dutch family with the Dutchest name you can imagine and we are pleased with the start.

Jan Vinnegoor of Hesselink? Is that you?

 

[SLC Sox]

Two sets of double vowels, long and seemingly unpronounceable. But as my grandparents use to say, "if you ain't Dutch you ain't much."

 

[Catcher Block]

Anywhere else on the field, it's a foul. So it should be one here. But it won't be.

 

[67YAZ]

Ouch for Harry.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

My my

 

[fletcherpost]

Fuck off

 

[rguilmar]

That stings

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Didn’t think it was a Pen

 

[Kliq]

Wow, that was a long time between the play happening and now the VAR check.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

That will be harsh

 

[67YAZ]

Anywhere else on the field, it's a foul. So it should be one here. But it won't be.

agreed. And can’t imagine the ref is going to the monitor and won’t see it.

 

[Verryfunny2]

Thats a fucking soft penalty

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

For me it's a foul because his foot is moving towards Kane as in a late challenge. If he's going to the side or is still and Kane kicks him on the followthrough I think you let it go but I think it's a pen.

 

[rguilmar]

VAR time

 

[fletcherpost]

Even Lee Dixon says no pen.

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Definitely a pen, he went in with his studs

 

[Verryfunny2]

F-ing stupid that. Just a duel. Ball is allready gone.

 

[67YAZ]

If Dumfries had kept his boot down and let Harry kick his shins, that’s fine. Have to keep your boot down.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Saka looks incredible so far

 

[swiftaw]

I'm English, and there's no way thats a penalty.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

I wish there was a way to give a foul/card and not a penalty, since it didn't impact play at all and Kane had already skyed the shot.

 

[Catcher Block]

When you're that precise, the keeper is irrelevant. That was perfect.

 

[joe dokes]

Damn. Keeper guessed right. Just a tremendous shot.

 

[Bozo Texino]

Fuckin' lame.

 

[ifmanis5]

Juuust squeezed that in. Good take.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Now the English will revert to the shell

 

[rguilmar]

Nobody is stopping that one

 

[Kliq]

Impressive take given it looked like Kane had just had his right foot sawed off by Dumfries.

 

[fletcherpost]

I think England's name is on the trophy.

I've accepted it and am dealing with it. I don't care anymore.

 

[ifmanis5]

Stopped on the line!
