Congrats to Spain for getting that one over the line. Took a lot more than they would have expected 40 odd minutes ago. Well done to Croatia for contributing to a great game.

Spain hold on this time, could have ended up anything that game, it was 5-3 but there was so many chances for both sides that didnt go in it could have been double that, even in extra time. Every other game is going to pale in comparison now, just mad end to end crazyness. Some dodgy keeping and defending but it was that sort of game and players getting tired meant tactics went out the window a bit, like school boy football at times. Amazing stuff and one of the best Euro's game's ever in recent times. Tournamount footy doesnt get any better.

 

[Iceman]

We’ve been taking the piss out of Spain for not being able to score but that’s 10 in 2 games lol. One thing they've shown today that I didn't think this team had was the ability to overcome some adversity (Croatia obviously did too but they didn't defend well enough).

 

[Iceman]

With extra time in that match there's virtually no gap till the next one! I really want to see a goal from Mbappe finally in this game.

france SHOULD win this no problem

Definitely should - but Hungary also should not be going ahead against France and Germany and managing not to lose lol. France are deserved tournament favourites and if they go ahead early I think they could get a bunch.

The Swiss strike first!!! 1-0.

 

[kane9321]

OH BOY...CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

 

[Iceman]

Great start for the Swiss! Hopefully this can make it a better game.

They have been even with France so far imo. If not the better of the two sides.

Thanks. My stream is cutting out a lot so I'm missing quite a bit.

Ugh, sorry man. Hope it gets better soon.

This better not happen tomorrow! I’ve got work booked off for the England game but the pubs so far have been booked out. I don’t mind watching it at home if I can’t find somewhere as long as it works!

 

[Iceman]

I'm using radio to supplement. Surprised how good radio is for this with the commentators and crowd noise - really feel the atmosphere even without seeing all of the game.

 

[Iceman]

Oh working now 3 minutes from the end of the first half lol. Also only properly saw the first 3 minutes before the issues started.

 

[BlackFox]

France have some work to do here, they have been abject so far and the Swiss have kept them pretty quiet and actually look the more threatening side, not like the Swiss have parked the bus at all, they are good for their lead. Surely the French will show a little more urgency second half other wise they are limping out of the tournament here.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Spain vs Croatia is so far the best game of the tournament

They really need to push without waiting too long. Also if they concede another....

Embolo looks dangerous everytime he attacks the French back line, they are petrified of him.

We are 45minutes away from England winning the Euro's with France out....

 

[Iceman]

Kingsley Coman coming on for France.

Haha

Congrats Germany!!

 

[Iceman]

Oh, real chance for the Swiss there!

[DarthSkywalker]

This is why you go straight down. Refs don't call it unless you play dead.

And now thanks to VAR, the Swiss have their deserved pen. VAR is a force for good!
