Penalty drama. Wonderful if CR misses again and cries again.

If portugal win, I'm gonna put a chicken pizza in the oven.
If slovenia win, I'm gonna put a salami pizza in the oven.

A lot riding on this.

Not sure Slovenia will be capable of scoring a pen. Oh and they’ve missed!

Strange penalty. He was arching himself into the direction the keeper was already diving to (Slovenia's first)

And another.

That is f*cking clutch from Ronnie, love him or hate him.

Maybe Slovenia should try heading the penalty.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Jul 01, 2024 10:41 pm

Ronaldo will be gutted he isn’t taking the winning pen.

Bijol has been excellent. Suspended if Slovenia go through.

Goalkeepers on top in this game all right.

Haha. Slovenia trying to 0-0 their way through a penalty shoot out.

martin_p · Post by **martin_p** » Mon Jul 01, 2024 10:42 pm

The Slovenians have shot their bolt.

As a footy fan let's be fair, it's good that Portugal go through.

Hugely disappointing to defend solidly for two hours then fail to score a penalty.

A Costa Coffin for Slovenia.

Sensational performance from Diogo Costa in goal.

Might have an ego as big as Blackpool Tower but the guy has character and we all know us English don’t like someone or thing that’s been at the top for such a long time & imagine how Rovers must have hated VK 2 seasons ago.

But at least they are adventurous

I haven't seen that yet from Portugal, Cancelo looked great yesterday but everything comes to a halt with Ronaldo I can't even remember him touching the ball in extra time apart from his penalty miss.
It really is time they moved on from him.

Romania v Netherlands at 5pm today.

I thought Romania looked impressive in their group games so will be rooting for them but the Dutch will be favourite’s I expect.

Sounds an interesting Country from this Wikipedia football mad as well apparently.

Forgot to add info:

Romania is a high-income country,[20] with a very high Human Development Index[14] and a highly complex economy,[21] that is emerging to be a middle power in international affairs.[22][23] Romania ranked 47th in the Global Innovation Index in 2023.[24] Its economy ranks among the fastest growing in the European Union,[25] being the world's 41st largest by nominal GDP, and the 35th largest by PPP, being based predominantly on services. Romanian citizens enjoy one of the fastest and cheapest internet speeds in the world.[26] It is a producer and net exporter of cars and electric energy through companies like Automobile Dacia and OMV Petrom. The majority of Romania's population are ethnic Romanians and religiously identify themselves as Eastern Orthodox Christians, speaking Romanian, a Romance language (more specifically Eastern Romance). Romania is a member of the United Nations, the European Union, the Schengen Area, NATO, the Council of Europe, BSEC, and WTO.

Crap goalkeeping from the Romanian, beaten at the near post. 1-0.

I've been sat in front of the TV with my face painted with the red cross in all the 4 games , getting all excited in the build up. I've ended up feeling so low at the performances.
The equaliser was a shock and scoring again so soon after it was unbelievable. I wish I could think this is where it changes but I dont
