Euro 2024

[Vegas Claret]

Swiss are excellent

[ElectroClaret]

1-2

[Wo Didi]

Game on, and Zeki's coming on.

[ElectroClaret]

Swiss seal it 1-3.

[Rowls]

Congratulations to Embolo who becomes the first player to ever score at a championship when his underpants were falling down.

[ElectroClaret]

Wondered what happened there...

[dannyonclarets]

Spain vs Croatia. Modric still going strong despite how old he looks. I've seen fewer wrinkles on a walnut.

The barnet probably doesn't help.

The commentary in the Spain - Croatia is muffled at times making it difficult to hear what they’re saying.

[dannyonclarets]

How good is it to just be able to watch competition football.

Not just about England but just the tournament itself.

[ElectroClaret]

2-0 Spain.

[ElectroClaret]

Make that three.

[wilks_bfc]

Yamal the youngest player to play in Euros aged 16 and already played 50 games for Barca

[ElectroClaret]

Peno Croatia....never made contact.
Scored after goalie saved. 3-1

Ruled out encroachment still 3-0.

[Vegas Claret]

was that a dive ?

[quoonbeatz]

What a bizarre passage of play. Firstly, why dive and not just put it in the open goal. Secondly, if its a foul, that's a red card as he's not attempting to win the ball. How has var not overturned it? Ah, the refs Michael Oliver...

Stuart Atwell is VAR

[quoonbeatz]

Further to that, there's clear encroachment but the keeper looks way off his line to make the save so why not a retake.

[quoonbeatz]

Stuart Atwell is VAR

But of course!

[BurnleyFC]

Farcical VAR again.

Never a penalty (why didn’t he just finish it?) but at least the goal was overuled due to encroachment.

[Wo Didi]

That was never a penalty in a million years, surprise surprise with Oliver and the other English numpties in charge of things.

[BurnleyFC]

Stuart Atwell is VAR

What was the muppet looking at for the penalty in the first instance?

[CoolClaret]

If obsessively playing out from the back can cause a cockup in the heart of Spain's defence when under pressure then it will do the same (and more) to ours.

Again, the lads last year weren't set up with a platform to succeed one jot.

I'm watching it on TV over here, they showed an angle from the side and it looked good tbh

Have a day off lad.

[RVclaret]

How are people saying it wasn’t a pen? Rodri had literally zero complaints. He seemed happy to receive just a yellow?

Why is everything that comes out of your mouth anti-Burnley?

I appreciate the fact you don't understand the game, but can we put that to one side. Why is everything you say against what we do?

[Vegas Claret]

[BurnleyFC]

He has shaking his finger as if to say no penalty?

I haven’t seen a replay yet that showed it to be a penalty.

Rodri did make contact but the actual fall came from Petkovic “tripping” by stubbing his toe into the ground

Rodri wouldn’t have seen that so thought he did cause the fall

[RVclaret]

I haven’t seen a replay yet that showed it to be a penalty.

There’s minor contact with the leg which causes one to kick the other. And perhaps I didn’t see the Rodri finger wag, though I’ve seen him cry to refs enough at City to know it wasn’t anything like he would usually!

But his contact literally did cause the fall, as you said Petkovic tripped over his own leg but only cause Rodri’s contact made him.

it's a contact sport, contact does not mean foul.

[Claretitus]

Perisic clearly not up to speed with the rules for Euro 2024 either. Only the captain is supposed to be allowed to approach the referee.

Aye of course I don't and it most certainly isn't. What's anti-Burnley about what I wrote? It was anti-Kompany and erm is correct.

[Claretitus]

Oh sorry, he must have got the armband off Modric.

[Vegas Claret]

Aye of course I don't and it most certainly isn't. What's anti-Burnley about what I wrote? It was anti-Kompany and erm is correct.

Not aimed at you CC but can we keep this thread on the Euro's please everyone

[CoolClaret]

Absolutely!

Hopefully the next game isn't over by half time like some of them so far have been...

[RVclaret]

Fully agree, but in this case he appeared to trip the player with a deliberate movement. I’m surprised it wasn’t a red.

[Vegas Claret]

Absolutely!

indeed ! I had no idea Silvinhio was the Albania manager assisted by Zabaletta !

[ElectroClaret]

Italy 0 Albania 1

[Vegas Claret]

perfect start

[Murger]

Haha wow.

[expoultryboy]

Can't believe the Albanian defender ducked out of the way for Italys 2nd .

[ElectroClaret]

No lack of excitement the first two days.

[Vegas Claret]

No lack of excitement the first two days.

it's been a brilliant start to the tournament

[Bin Ont Turf]

it's been a brilliant start to the tournament

Really?

Bit of a yawn for me.

Mind you I've never been able to get excited much when either Burnley or England aren't involved.
