if you guys want to save yourselves some time, just watch the games starting on minute 88.
I've just never seen anything like that!

out of 19 games so far:
france romania 2-1 on 89'
france albania 2-0 on 90 and 96
wales slovakia 2-1 on 82
england russia 1-1 on 92
england wales 2-1 on 92
spain czech republic 1-0 on 87
italy sweden 1-0 on 89

other goals on the buzzer (not decisive):
germany ukraine 2-0 on 92
ukraine N.ireland 0-2 on 96
belgium italy 0-2 on 92
austria hungary 0-2 on 87

that's 7/19 decided in the last minutes, 11/19 with goals in the last minutes!

I'm saving myself time by watching none of the games and simply checking the scores on my Livescore app.

Everything I've seen has been boring as shit so far. Worst Euros ever.

and if you draw.... in this competition you'll have teams with 1 win 2 loss that will make it; 1 win 1 draw means you are certain to make it throught.

by the way, 1 team managed to be 100% eliminated after just 2 games... ukraine! they've secured the 4th place given all other results. Basically the only configuration possible.

nice triple f*ck up croatia!

modric injured, some big issue with the UEFA comming up for that explosion (hpe the stewart ddn't lose his hand with that dumb ass shit), and then you manage not to win a game that was completely under control with a 2-0 that was putting a lot of pressure on spain.
Seriously... nice way to f*ck you eurocup in 20 minutes.

I bet £10 Italy would win and Ibrahimovic would score. 11/1. Shame.

I miss Netherlands in this Euro.

Support England! They're the only team where you can feel smug if they win, and smug if they fail miserably.

It's the foundation of English sport.

Freaking hell, Spain. What beautiful football. I'm already looking forward to watching Croatia - Spain. Finally a game between two footballing teams rather than the wall builders we've had so far in the tournament.

I kinda like the peace in the streets here during the Euro-games, so I guess I'm becoming an old man. The extremely bright orange spread over an entire country gets to you, though, I tell ya.

Anyway, the terrible playing Dutch from the qualifiers would've fitted in perfectly with the rest of the crowd this Euros. So far the only team that really brought something to the game that I like, was Italy. The maturity, charisma... I like it. The other top countries in my opinion have shown no such thing (France, Belgium, Germany, Spain). An occasional moment, sure. But if you consider that the players from these teams are capable of high level stuff, I can only conclude most of them are underachieving.

France won twice, yes. Spain just played a good game, sure. Belgium won fair and square, okay. But I don't see any convincing evidence of the outcome of this tournament. That's a good thing, though. With the WC 2014 there were a few favourites, who ultimately came down to Brazil, Germany and Argentina (and for some Holland was as well, but these people were mainly Dutch ^^). These three were in the semi-finals and the best of them won.
Euros 2016 might have a very uncertain winner, because so far every good team has sucked and played well and every lower estimated has achieved great scores and sucked in the other game.

I'm watching from a neutral position for the first time, so I find it highly amusing!

Tonight was a great night.. the asshole failed to convert a penalty and caused his team to be held to a goalless draw.

In an off topic note, condolences to Mexicans and nietzsche for their 0-7 defeat to Chile in Copa America!

Italy did win convincingly against Belgium, but they were very underwhelming against Sweden imo. They're lucky to even have won. They seemed incapable of playing ball posession football. Spain's probably top favorite right now, they did win both of their games very convincingly, though I can understand how that can take away from the excitement.

ps: finally freaking Wilmots dares playing an offensive team instead of what he fielded against Italy.

Gotta admit that gives Belgium hope!

I'm not going to bet in the Euros again this year.

Anyone else getting some schadenfreude out of watching Ronaldo post-match?

He sucked and made my day. $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$

He usually stuns when he gets under so much pressure. He reached the point that brings the best out of him, and that's my concern now. I would not be surprised if he performed very well against Hungary and got overpraised again

looks like it will be another year without ballon d'or mister cristiano! :lol:

i think i'd probably give it to suarez... although I think that spain will win the eurocup and that sergio ramos could win the balllon d'or this year.
