News 2020 UEFA Euro Cup

[N_Molson]

Not to undermine Belgium, but Portugal was let down by the manager. Trusting luck is so 1990s, football has moved beyond that.
One win in 4 games makes this the worse Euro cup ever. I'm not happy at all !

I can understand that, Portugal had what it takes to do better. Well, I'm happy France won't have to play that match.

Croatia vs. Spain has gone crazy, right now Spain leads 5 to 3 in extra time !

The score held, Croatia 3 : Spain 5

Now Swiss vs. France in 20 min. On the paper France has the better ; the danger is not to attack hard enough and/or miss the goal opportunities.

 

[N_Molson]

Now the worst-case scenario : France got drawed into a slow match, and Swiss were opportunistic.

Swiss 1 : France 0

Now a yellow card... not good.

 

[Sunhillow]

Switzerland scored a goal against France 15 minutes in game. What a surprise!

 

[N_Molson]

Time. France wasn't able to equalize. I think the players will get a well-deserved blower from the coach Didier Deschamps. Not like they do it for the glory, most of them are quite very well-paid.

Penalty for Swiss. Missed ! Great stop from Hugo Lloris.

1 : 1 ! Lucky bounce that served Benzema, which was reactive enough to take advantage of it.

 

[Sunhillow]

Penalty for Switzerland ... Lloris has it!

 

[N_Molson]

French attack took advantage of the shock effect, and Bezema scores again in less than 2 minutes.

France 2 : Swiss 1

Suddenly looks better !

Yellow card for Rodriguez, a key Swiss player.

 

[N_Molson]

Very very nice "by the book" goal from Paul Pogba, straight into the top-corner, swiss goal couldn't do anything.

3 : 1

 

[N_Molson]

French defence got sleepy.

3 : 2

 

[N_Molson]

Ouch !!! French defense took another nap !

3 : 3

We're going to extra time. ?

Now it will be a lot about endurance, athletic fitness and training from players of both teams.

 

[N_Molson]

Benzema collapses (muscle cramp) and is replaced.

First extra-time half Time. Still 3 : 3.

Mbappé is really an issue. He misses much too often.

 

[N_Molson]

Extra time ends with 3 : 3.

We're going to penalites.

 

[N_Molson]

And Mbappé fails. ?‍

Swiss wins, congratulations ! ??

 

[Urwumpe]

What a dramatic match!

What. The.

I'm still expecting the universe to vanish in a paradox any time now...

One win in 4 games makes this the worse Euro cup ever. I'm not happy at all !

Now I think I'll follow France! Great players there

RIP @4throck

You see the real trick is to have a national team so bad (the Norwegian male team) that you never qualify to any tournament in the first place.


You can't loose if you don't participate.

 

[N_Molson]

What. The.

I'm still expecting the universe to vanish in a paradox any time now...

I'd say both Swiss and Germany have their chance now. The competition is very open. Tomorrow Germany vs. England, we'll see how it goes. Then Swiss vs. Spain, again I'd bet for Spain if I had to, but who knows...

 

[jedidia]

Then Swiss vs. Spain

Purely informational, the name of the country is Switzerland (in english, at least). Swiss is the adjective, or an inhabitant of the country. You're probably confused from the french, where "suisse" is used for everything.

 

[N_Molson]

So here we go again. Germany vs. England (and not United Kingdom in this case).

I can't imagine any of the two teams letting their luck go without trying something, so I'm confident this will be another interesting match.

 

[N_Molson]

74' : Goal (Sterling) for England

England 1 : Germany 0

Won't be easy for Germany to score against a very organized english defense.

Yup, Harry Kane scores, England leads 2 to 0.

 

[Sunhillow]

Congratulations to England ???????
Germany was too passive this time
