Denmark '92, Greece '04 style? 👀

But I've told everyone it's coming home....



... Again. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Let see how tomorrow goes. Mainoo in for Gallagher the only change apparently.

Southgate sticking to the plan that isn't working.

We've had a terrible showing so far we have to turn up at some point

Seriously though,while I would love for England to win this thing,they haven't played at their best this Euro....

I'm really looking forward to their match with Slovakia to see if they are more agressive but I fully expect another upset there.

It's sad as they have the players...but Southgate is just so terrible at bringing out this team's pottential though.

They just don't look like a team so far, nobody seems to know their roles. Maybe thats why hes sticking to his game plan hoping things click.

Just Bringing in Mainoo isn't enough for me personally, how on earth Palmer isnt a nailed on start is beyond me.

Hopefully they bring out their best tomorrow for an entertaining match.

Anyone have a tenner on lightening to stop play in the first half?

Has it ever happened before?

Will they come out wearing Gore-Tex?

Germany 0-0 Denmark

I'm just live texting some weather now.



I'm glad the BBC are in good spirits. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Well the romanian commentators just said the last match suspended at Euro was France Ukraine in 2012, apparently it lasted about an hour that time...

I know its better to be safe than sorry but they are surrounded by a huge steel structure with lightening rods installed everywhere.

Chances of getting hit by lightening are zero.

Well, it's been an even half. Both sides have had good chances but so far, have managed to.... weather the storm. 🙈

This could go either way but my spider sense says the Germans will nick it.

Either way both Denmark and Germany should be proud of their lads here.

Kasper Schmeichel the man atm.

Bullshit mate, VAR should be a back up if the Ref makes a clear error.

In the case against VAR this match would be used as evidence.

The offside was literally his big toe. Ridiculous.

Then the German guy kicked the ball within a few yards straight at the Swiss guys hand which didn't move towards the ball, what's he meant to do? Absolutely ridiculous.

Basically, just kick the ball at people's hands in the box to get a pen.

Bit of a farce and I hope it's not ruined this game.

Havertz gonna Havertz though.

Whats the point of VAR?

Would the hand of god stood?

66 would he a different story.

Lampards goal was over the line. etc etc

The game is the game. VAR makes it worse imo.

Hand of God and Lampards goal should've been overturned because they were obvious and missed. Whether '66 would've been different overall is another thing altogether but I get the idea.

It should be that, clear and obvious fuck up by the ref/linesman. Not marginal bullshit of hairs being offside or people kicking balls at 60mph directly at people's hands.

I like VAR, but then these slow motion replay handballs annoy me. We need to look at the whole movement of the defender, looked like normal movement to me... but I need to see the replay again to make sure.

For me, no intent, the direction of the ball wasn't affected.

VAR for me is there to correct a clear and obvious error by the officials. Say like the Lampard goal that never was.

Offside or handballs measured by a pubic hair are ridiculous. What next are we going to go back historically and correct the hand of god or the 66 goal that never was?

Its just part of the game, it was better the way it was.

Are you feeling yellow?

I'd turn it off at the speed of sound.

There is some good stuff in there if you can navigate the woke player.

LCD last night were top drawer. Nothing tops Rick Astley doing Smiths last year though.

Fake Edit: scared for life over MJ fox, I love the guy but singing fix you while you push him out in a wheelchair was a bit much.
