Not as braindead as these fuckwits

I've heard of fairweather fans but fairweather drinking fans is taking it a bit far.

[MiketheSnow]

France v Belgium

Two teams playing not to lose

Shits me

[MiketheSnow]

Must have heard me

Both trying to win it now

But extra time still looks likely

[African Monkey]

@MiketheSnow Sums up international tournaments 95% of the time.

[MiketheSnow]

France with a lucky deflection to go 1-0 up with about 10 to play

[MiketheSnow]

France win 1-0

Unbelievably they haven't scored a goal from open play (today's was a massive deflection and should be classed as an own goal) and they're in the QF

[Billy Tell]

Sesko threw that away for Slovenia.

[Bovidae]

Own goal has had a great tournament so far, well ahead in the goal-scoring race (9).

[MajorPom]

Portugal Slovenia match was an absolute cracker of 0-0.

Ronaldo is learning the hard way that scoring goals for fun in the Saudi league doesn't mean that you still have it. I would honestly expect a Championship striker to have been on the scoresheet at least once with the chances he had / gave himself.

Portugal would be a much better side without the narcissist.

is Austrian bubble about to burst?

Netherlands made to work by Romania before late goals gave a comfortable win.

Austria waaaay better than turkey who basically offered nothing than their 2 goals. But that was enough. Dutch should win easily id think that was turkeys final.

[dogmeat]

Austria out! Only followed it by text updates but sounds like a cracking game. Austria unlucky but Turkey resolute

[MajorPom]

Unbelievable save by the Turk keeper in the last 10 seconds.

Yes, that was a great save.

Austria were unlucky as I'm not sure the second goal should have been a corner. Poor defending though - again.

[KiwiPie]

Insomnia enabled me to watch both games. The Dutch much better than Romania once they had weathered the early storm but found many ways not to get a second goal. Should be too good for Turkiye who will continue to need goals from corners - that being said, Hakan Çalhanoğlu is their class in midfield and he was suspended for today's game.

Austria certainly threw a lot towards the end and extra time would have been fair - fantastic save though.

[Billy Tell]

All quarters as expected except I thought Austria would beat turkey. Spain still look the best team. I hope either them or Germany make the final as France and Portugal have been pretty tedious.

On the other side Dutch should get past turkey and hopefully Switzerland can keep up their good form and knock out England.

[MajorPom]

I said at work the other day that Swiss shld be favourites as they’ve been so much better.

Everybody agreed.

Then said that’s why England will win.

I actually agree on that too!

[MiketheSnow]

The YC process in football is going to fuck Turkiye in the QF
