    VAR sucks. I’m convinced it’s only being used because of gambling.

    Andersen scores the goal called back for Denmark
    AND
    commits the handball for the Germany penalty.

    Quite the emotional tumble.

    Can and Füllkrug into the match for Germany

    Andrich and Gündoğan out of the match.

    Two strikers for Germany, Havertz and Füllkrug?
    I thought that was against the laws of modern football?!?

    I would like to see a run out for Thomas Müller

    If he WAS very good, would he be playing for Manchester United?

    He is only 21. I thought he was a bit older.

    Another goal for Germany...called back for offsides.

    Wait, there is a VAR check. That is a bit weird. Offsides

    Euro Round if 16 Day 2

    England v. Slovakia 11:00 am
    Spain v. Georgia 2:00 pm
    Both on Fox

    Two of the super big hitters in European football against Spain and England

    Predictions
    England snap out of their malaise and destroy Slovakia. 3-0 or more

    Slovakia played an almost perfect match against Belgium. I don't see them repeating that.
    On the other hand, England are morons and coached by a moron, so there is a possibility that Slovakia can repeat their Belgium performance.

    Georgia grind out a result against Spain.

    More likely:
    England bores their way into the Quarterfinals
    and
    Spain dominate.

    3 cards in the first 12 minutes.
    Sloppy game by England.

    Slovakia doing well.


    Edit: like clockwork, 4 yellow cards in 16 minutes (3 for England).

    At this rate, there will be 22.5 cards shown in the match.

    A fourth yellow.
     
  15. I just sat down 10 minutes ago to watch. This referee is a bit over the edge with the foul calls & bookings. It seems certain one or both teams will finish the game with less than 11.

    Players win games.
    Coaches lose games.
    Referees ruin games.

    This referee is on his way to doing just that.

    Slovakia playing just as the did against Belgium.

    High tempo
    Capitalize on the chances.

    Well deserved goal and lead

    Wow, that was awful by England.
    Slovakia played well and deserve the lead.

    I am not surprised.
    Disappointed, not surprised.

    I just hope Southgate panics and England choke.

    I think that’s probably offside.

    Sadly, Southgate lacks the emotion to actually panic. Not that England won't choke, but it won't be because of Southgate panicking.

    Hey, they actually played a forward pass.

    Goal for England. Of course, Foden was offsides.

    1-0 Slovakia

    That was close. Almost a goal from midfield as Pickford is hanging out very high.

    Oh, that would have been delicious if that 50 meter shot from Slovakia had trickled into the net.

    Even as England fan, I would have enjoyed it.

    60 minutes and no changes for England.

    It's not like they the Chicago Fire's bench and there are no options on the bench who could make a positive impact.

    Edit: first substitute coming on for England.
