Euro 2024

[Falcon]

I'd put us behind France, Spain and Portugal and about level with Germany, but ahead of Italy, Netherlands, Belgium as part as the 'big guns' go.

[ElectroClaret]

Turkey 1 Georgia 0
Hell of a strike.

Make that 2-0

[ElectroClaret]

VAR rules out 2nd.
Still 1-0

[ElectroClaret]

1-1

[Vegas Claret]

excellent game so far

[Sheedyclaret]

Game of the tournament so far very enjoyable

[RVclaret]

Georgia playing some lovely stuff!

[Vegas Claret]

this is a zero ***** given game, both teams going for it - brilliant stuff as a neutral

[Vegas Claret]

Game of the tournament so far very enjoyable

I was thinking exactly that in terms of how chaotic it is

[wilks_bfc]

For their first ever tournament game Georgia are looking good

[equinox]

Good game this, Southgate at fault for both goals though, what was he thinking?

[Owdsyker]

Great game, no tippy tappy fannying about. Is Micah Richards going ten pin bowling after the game?

2-1 Turkey.
Brilliant shot.

[Buxtonclaret]

What a goal !

[Vegas Claret]

unbelievable goal

[Guller Bull]

That’s a Benson!

[Buxtonclaret]

Sooo close to 2-2

[Stayingup]

Very good game and well done to the commentators for remembering and pronouncing, particularly, the Georgian players names.

[ClaretFelix]

Very impressed with Mikautadze, who we were linked with no more than one occasion. Just think what could have been..

[Buxtonclaret]

Ouch
What a miss

[Vegas Claret]

serious miss, shame, they don't deserve to lose

[RVclaret]

Brilliant game. Feel for Georgia

[Buxtonclaret]

Oh well.
But heck, Georgia really gave it a go.

[Rowls]

Fun ending to the game. Would've been funny if the ref had blown up just before Turkey's third.

[Sheedyclaret]

Brilliant game that

[South West Claret.]

What a fantastic game.

[Buxtonclaret]

One of the best games I've seen in a long while, that.

[South West Claret.]

Group games normally cagey not in this tournament.

[aclaretinstevenage]

Fantastic entertainment.

Fans are lunatics, atmosphere tremendous, both sides going for it, great goals and wonderfully chaotic finale.

Proper game of football and it will be hard for another game to reach that level of entertainment.

[ecc]

Mikautadze: my son told me how good he was. Class act. Metz signed him back from Ajax but it would seem he's off to Monaco.

[ecc]

I think the low temps have helped make for decent games. Virtually all the games I've seen have been played at a fair old pace.

So hard on Georgia.

[Dazzler]

Was this mentioned on the BBC?

[Rileybobs]

Czech Republic look garbage.

[Vegas Claret]

Cracking stuff from the ref

[Buxtonclaret]

Well done ref!

[bumba]

Depending on the bookie, we are joint first or second favourite. This is pretty reasonable considering our ranking and squad. You might think those odds are too low, but it's hardly ridiculous.

I doubt anybody on here has said we have the 'best squad by far'. Most have said we have excellent attacking options with some question marks at the back, again reasonable.

Been plenty of debate with people saying we've the best squad by far

[Billyblah]

Absolutely amazed that the Czech Republic have got to half time without conceeding,
Their passing is extremely sloppy leading to about 23% possesion...but they do look good at defending directly in front of their own goal

[ElectroClaret]

Portugal 0 CR 1

[Buxtonclaret]

Lol

[Buxtonclaret]

Was that an OG?

Oh dear.
Blushes all around.

[jos]

1-1 looked an easy take by the goalie but he chose to push it away and it rebounded in off his defenders legs.

[Tricky Trevor]

My biggest niggle with modern football, after watching the EFL playoffs and the first round of matches here, is sides needing a goal still titty pattying it about and never creating a chance because they will not cross it into a crowded box.
Portugal have just got a fluke equaliser because they did just that. I hope more learn. Even at the highest level you can get a mistake or a lucky break.

[Buxtonclaret]

Czech's look knackered.
Bet they'll love a point though.

[expoultryboy]

Now that's how var should work , in the prem that would of took at least 5 mins .

[Spijed]

Now that's how var should work , in the prem that would of took at least 5 mins .

Still rubbish as it completely ruins any goal celebration. What's the point of celebrating any goal these days?

[Conroysleftfoot]

Now that's how var should work , in the prem that would of took at least 5 mins .

...and still have got it wrong.

[Buxtonclaret]

Now that's how var should work , in the prem that would of took at least 5 mins .

Absolutely.
It's choking the life out of the game over here.

[ElectroClaret]

2-1 Portugal

[gandhisflipflop]

Now that's how var should work , in the prem that would of took at least 5 mins .

Even though it was quicker, it still isn’t quick enough. The players celebrated with the fans then the goal was disallowed. It’s still shite.
