Holy crap that Sanchez shot was the closest I've seen to a crossbar snapper in a long long time, pure venom! :shock:

Still not convinced by that Germany performance. 2 own goals. After that they have no choice but to win unless every player wants to be a pariah.

When was the guy lying down behind the wall strategy invented? I don't remember it in previous years.

Wow! I didn't know you could see where a player's gonna aim the ball. :lol: That was quick thinking/reactions!

The first time I saw it I thought the player was injured. :lol:

I'd volunteer for it, chance to catch a bit of a break. :lol:

How can a foul be worth a penalty when the player hasn't even got the ball?

They are lucky Spain isn't disqualified from the tournament for fielding a French center-back.

Biggest reason for me for Spain's problems is no Ramos.. can't believe Enrique didn't include him in the squad. Love him or hate him he's a proper leader

Morata is playing in the wrong era.. if he played 40 years ago he'd be a legend but being just a goal scorer isn't enough in the modern game and he offers nothing else

Really loving how the Euro's has handled VAR especially the offside calls, like other European leagues they chose not to show the lines when checking offside calls.

Not showing the lines is what the Premier League should have done. Instead they showed them leading to everyone getting pissed off and now their introducing thicker lines which will still piss people off. Talk about having to fix a problem that didn't exist in the first place!

Malignant or not it's still absolute cancer for football. Someone needs to start a KICK IT OUT campaign.

Even Schick who scored that insane goal against Scotland wasn't sure if there was something wrong with it SMH

Bring back human error.

I'd definitely streamline it but wouldn't get rid of it completely.
