Round of 16

[Drico]

A notoriously incompetent defender playing the greatest hits there...

I hope the second half features a stoppage due to a Just Stop Oil lad shackling himself to the upright.

They have flown over our teethy steward who clipped off the goodison offender just in case.

A Delaney playing at the Euros is classic Irish diaspora.

Well, it sure as hell wouldn't be those who stayed at home...

Decent piece of entertainment, this. Very enjoyable of a Saturday night.

I don't think any team can get away with a forward line of Musiala, Sane, and Havertz and not expect a bomb to explode in its face at some point.

Musiala has loads of technical ability and very little brain. I don't see a whole lot of maturing from the same player we watched in 2022. If Germany are going to get through here, Nagelsmann needs to get a grip and get Füllkrug on and get over notions that Germany can win playing like Spain.

Regaring the lightning break, from the Guardian:

The referee’s not got everything right this evening, though. “On Danish TV the commentators and pundits have been very critical of the time it took to halt the game,” reports Lars Esbjerg. “In 2005 a Danish player was struck by lightning during a training match. He had a cardiac arrest but survived but lost a leg. His coach at the time: Kasper Hjulmand.”

I don’t know what position havertz is suited to play, but a striker he definitely isn’t.

Schmeichel has made two saves tonight - the Havertz header and the Havertz volley - that he knew nothing about. While he has to get full credit for doing his job and being in the right place to stop the header, the volley was saved in spite of himself, because his technique was so bad it hit him on the shoulder. A fluke save.

But when that kind of good fortune is coming your way...you could be Gareth Southgate.
