First time Alaba sees the final third of the game Austria immediately scores on his assist lmao.

It's amazing to see how many teams mismanage their top talent. Anyone can see he needs to be further up the pitch.

Why does Arnautovic look like he wants to fight his own team after scoring?

Looked like he had some choice words in Serbian for someone on the Macedonia team.

Really entertaining first half between Netherlands and Ukraine. Not sure how it's still 0-0.

You know we were talking about mismanagement earlier.
Ukraine LB has been the weakness in first half didnt win a single duel with Dumfries it seemed (who still managed to stay scoreless)…no changes in halftime…now Ukraine is paying the price.

Should‘ve moved Zinchenko one back and subbed someone else in at half-time.

Oh wow, two best goals of the tournament so far? What a comeback by Ukraine. Easily the best game of the tournament so far.

They look a real threat from set pieces.

They might still win this if Shevchenko subs himself in.

Oh dear, all that effort to come back and they concede like that? I have no idea what Ukraine keeper and defence are doing not clearing it. Terrible stuff.

That blonde kid on Dumb Fries has to be the worst match-up of this tournament so far.

Indeed. The fact they even played the rest of the game is admiring.
I couldn't do it when it happened.


I would add that Hojbjerg should be nowhere near penalties. It's not his game. Southampton and Spurs fans have seen how appallingly bad he can be in the final third.


I was shocked that he was the one to take it. Then I realized Kjaer was already substituted - he would be second choice I think.

You all consider yourselves ashamed that you didn't bring up that the GOAT from Barcelona - Braithwaite - should've taken this penalty. Word on the street is even Lionel Messi calls him "King Martin".
Even Lord Bendtner was forced to quit his career a couple weeks ago because he couldn't endure seeing someone better than him in the Denmark jersey.

Quite a lot of teams seem to have goalkeeper issues.

Poland look like a bunch of Sunday league players meeting for the first time.

Feel bad for Lewandowski.
