UEFA EURO 2020

[Sascha Reynders]

Oui oui, c'est fini

As a Belgian living in France I'm a bit biased of course, especially since the 2018 World Cup semi-finals. And it's aftermath where a few French players felt the need to belittle the Belgians, they weren't very gracious World Champions to my eyes.
And last night, their arrogance bit them in the a$$. The Swiss fought for all they were worth and prevailed, good for them !

I really didn't see that result coming! Well done CH, and keep on going!!

Roll on Saturday.

As we say in Flemish: "ge moogt naar huis gaan, 't is gedaan" (*)

(* go home now, show's over)

Belgium clearly outclassed by the better team. I can see this so called "Golden Generation" make it to the 2022 World Cup where they'll probably be eliminated in the 1/8 finals again (if they make it that far) and that'll be it. Most of the key players will call it quits after that, I think, and I fear it'll take quite a few years after that to form another good team again...

Congrats to La Squadra Azzura, I can see them winning this Euro.

My consolation for Scotland's early exit is that I can just relax and enjoy the football. So far some really intense games and hopefully more to come.
Fingers crossed for England tomorrow evening.

What a game this first semi is, only 2 goals so far but if the 30 mins extra time is as exciting I hope it doesn't go to penalties, neither team deserves to lose that way.

Well well
The penalties were quite special though!

Gonna be an interesting finale!

Intense till the very end. Since the group stages it's looked like Italy were the team to beat.
Hope tomorrow's game is as good, an England Italy final would be nice.

Bjarne will not be agree with you...as he is danish
I am neither english nor danish but I have friends in both, so may the best win today

And Forza Italia

 

[Kenny Paton]

I am neither english nor danish

Nor me, I'm just hoping the game can live up to last night's although I think that would take some doing.
My preference is for an English win but I wouldn't be heartbroken if the Danes came through.

 

[Denis Betty]

Please don't let there be a sending off.
I'm hoping for a good ref (they've be great so far IMO) and a good game, played in the right spirit.
No extra time or pens would also suit my jangling nerves.

GLA. (But come on England)

 

[jimortality]

I think it's the same ref we had for the Germany game

I think it's the same ref we had for the Germany game

The refereeing standard has been very high throughout imo, much better than we see in the premier league, and var use has been pretty good also.

 

[GTR233]

Yes I am agree, VAR is mature and quite good in this euro : the quality of referee(s) in the video van is certainly better than what we had in our national championships as I don't recall huge injustice in this euro.

 

[Kenny Paton]

Well it certainly isn't a walk in the park, score seems about right so far.

 

[Denis Betty]

Two good teams.
Pickford needs to sort it out, but I'm enjoying the game - as much as I can enjoy watching England in a semi final.
