Portugal v Germany.

[jonny_greenings_sock]

Was going to say, on paper Pepe and Ruben Diaz is as good as it gets, but Diaz has looked really shaky for the best centre back in the Premier League.

Goosens and Kimmich are playing so high. 5 up front for Germany, it's like a 1950s formation.

I wasn’t impressed with Portugal in the first game against Hungary

They got a bit lucky with the first goal and the scoreline in the end flattered them. They were pretty poor for about 80 minutes.

They don’t look that good tonight either apart from one breakaway goal. Defence looks shaky too.

Portugal 3 goals, Germany none. Will they ever score.

As ineffective as Messi

Good goal Ronaldo offside in the buildup though

So was one of the German goals. Great that they don't do all this slide rule measurement.

 

[FlapJacks]

I dislike Pepe a great deal

That is all.

These pesky Germans clicking into gear at the right time again.

 

[Laughing]

They have been good tonight

Feel like VAR is so much more efficient in the Euros than it is in the Prem or am I kidding myself? Last night I feel that the Sterling 'penalty' would have been given by VAR in the Prem (wrongly IMHO). The application of VAR in the Prem is a 'divers charter'.

What a game this is

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

The difference seems to be that they are only ruling on "obvious" errors. I still don't like it.

 

[Laughing]

The application of VAR is much better here than the pem, in the prem refs and lines men seem to have defferred completely to VAR

 

[chickenrunner]

Game on!

The level of defending in this championship has been very poor

 

[BoroMart]

these defences are really really poor, some really bad goals from a defensive perspective.

 

[BoroMart]

The level of defending in this championship has been very poor

Except for England and Scotland (in one game) yeah

 

[chickenrunner]

The level of defending in this championship has been very poor

Except England, we're yet to concede.

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

I think England have done well defensively and we are yet to concede a goal.
Ming's has done very well despite the criticism before the tournament.
The Scotland game was a one off
We've still got a great chance of progressing.
Belgium look the team to beat for me...

I thought you were going to mention 'clicking their heels'. Quote from Basil 'Don't mention the war' ;-)

 

[Laughing]

Portugal may be in a bit of bother. If Hungary can do a number on Germany in the last game.

 

[Teesside87]

If france beat portugal by 2+ goals they would be on 3 points with a negative goal difference. Cant see that being enough this year
