    When they stop diving and trying to get opponents sent off, football can be thrilling as fuck

    Two tremendous matches

      The VAR has got rid of that. Even the missed penalty by Mbappé was checked to see if goalie was off his line.

          Yes, it has been noticeable that the refs aren't blowing the whistle as much and the players have soon realised that falling on the ground from minimal or no contact will not result in a free kick. Long may it continue.

            Highlight was Pogba's 4 different rehearsed celebrations for his 1 goal.

            Too much celebration, not enough goal.

              He was pretty decent overall I thought, some beautiful passes. Ok, he got stripped for the swiss equaliser, but I've seen worse.

              Switzerland were pretty decent vs Wales but couldn't score, dire against Italy, very good against Turkey and excellent vs France.

              I've watched Spain: they have oodles of talent in a young team, but their strikers have been wasteful at times and I reckon the Swiss team has more height. If the Swiss treat the French game like their "final" then they will lose against Spain, but if they can re-focus, I reckon a semi-final is possible.

              I'm still picking Italy to win the tournament.

                Watched the highlights again just now - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/57647011 for those that can access.

                What a match, possibly the best I've ever seen. France on the ball were phenomenal, working into space at speed with incredible ball control. Pogba's strike, the last minute miss, Benzeman's touch for his first goal - all great bits of footy.

                Swiss finding holes in the French defence like .... <insert swiss cheese joke here>

                All well controlled by the ref too, who didn't have a bar of any bullshit.

                  England 0-0 Germany
                  30 mins

                  No prisoners
                  Good watch

                  Huge chance at the end of the half

                  Kane’s really not feeling it

                  0-0 at the half

                    Do we think Harry Kane is world class? Seems mostly a passenger in the English games I’ve seen.

                    This is a weak German side ripe for the picking.

                      Aside from that chance I didn’t know he was playing

                      Germany looking more likely to score

                        England wings at opposite ends of the spectrum. Saka best player on the pitch. Shaw looks a cut below the rest.

                              Muller mullers a gold plated scoring chance. Sterling just about hero to zero there.
