This Croatia-Portugal game is horrible, horrible football. 0-0 after 105 minutes with neither team recording a single shot on target. The players on both sides were showered with jeers, whistles, and catcalls as they left the pitch for a brief respite, while the announcers are going on about how it will go down as one of the worst high-level football matches ever played.
This is what happens when you have 2 teams scared to death to lose, awful, unwatchable soccer. Yet some eurosnob will try and tell you this is more entertaining that any domestic soccer available.
Yeah. In my pool I have Belgium vs Germany in the final. Looking good so far. Wales pose a threat to Belgium. We'll see.Both Germany and Belgium collectively left no doubt today that they are the two tournament favourites. Completely dominating performances against Slovakia and Hungary as they both advance to the quarter-finals.
France's win sets up a likely quarters match against England, which is awesome for rivalry's sake.
First fifteen minutes of the 2nd half, possession was 76-24 France. Ireland basically tried to defend a 1-0 lead for 88 minutes.Ireland down to 10 men now. I didn't see the first half, but this has to be a 180.
