Var worked for once

A bit common sense with VAR there.

Who is the muppets commentating.
I know they're Englush but honestly.
That was a penalty all day long and I still can't see how they overturned it.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 8:06 pm

I’m amazed they’ve overturned that in a UEFA competition but for me they did eventually get it right.

England holding up pretty well and closing down well.

No doubt about that pen 2-1

Half-time - score probably about right. We started and ended poorly but played very well in-between.

Look much better without Rowe leading the line.
I'm not sold on Stansfield being worth the 10m Blues paid but he has helped us look a better unit.

I think it was closer to £20m

I think he's Championship quality (not Prem) so will probably work out as a sound investment.

Have we gone to the cast of TOWIE for half time thoughts now?

Dear oh dear.

Switch the sound off, the football is still the same and just like being at the game. Better than ever with some good vinyl playing as well.
Sadly, that [enalty will cost us because it had given the SPanish a boost. The ball should have been in Row Z but that rarely happens these days.

Is it Joe Hart as assistant com? I think he's alright.

Brilliant from our keeper.

Hinshelwood having a tough time.

Good job Stansfield got the ball when he dived in.

Cresswell looking better than the last few games.

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:30 pm

We can easily score another goal on the break here.

Robbie_painter · Post by **Robbie_painter** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:31 pm

Need a third here

Spain will probably score now but not sure they're looking that dangerous. We look alright.

They’ve got on top a bit but you’re right we do look alright.

Robbie_painter · Post by **Robbie_painter** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:38 pm

Hinshelwood should’ve buried that

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:44 pm

Been impressed with the referee I think he's done well.

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:54 pm

3-1 ... thank you very much.

Robbie_painter · Post by **Robbie_painter** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:55 pm

Really good win this and the best we’ve looked so far.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:55 pm

Rowe did well to chase that one.

Think we probably deserved to win.

Livramento needs to keep out of the way. We don't need any bookings and reds...

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:55 pm

Excellent

What was Cresswell kicking off about at the end?

Ashingtonclaret46 · Post by **Ashingtonclaret46** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:58 pm

Well done to our lads who stuck to their task and defended well and were helped by a couple of smashing saves by our keeper. Semi final next. Good luck to them

ollieclarets8 · Post by **ollieclarets8** » Sat Jun 21, 2025 9:59 pm

I really don't think Spain looked anything special at all and we created enough chances to win the game and it was enough. The stats put it at a pretty even game but I think we created the better chances.

Well done lads.

Who is the woman doing the pitch side presenting and interviews? Her screechy voice is seriously annoying.

I've turned it off now but might be Jules Breach who is with BT Sport. I think being with BT Sport is her only fault as she seems alright.

Just as the whistle was about to go. The Spanish winger slid in recklessly on Liveramento. Liveramento reacted and they squared up. Spain had nothing to lose and were out of the competition so were able to be quite aggressively chasing confrontation. I think Cresswell and a few others were sticking up for their team-mates. All handbags, really.

Cheers for that. I missed it, and when I looked up, I noticed he was being led away.

No reason why we can't win this again. We made Spain look extremely ordinary.

Ha, I've no idea what qualifies and what doesn't. I saw Ronald Koeman warming up before the Portual game.

And we're the only nation in the tournament without a 23 year old, though Hayden Hackney does turn 23 two days before the final.

They were the favourites for the competition - we can win this again.

Fantastic Result,
I had two £3-00 bets on England to win either at 2-1 which was 9/1 and 3-1 at 22/1 at BetFred so with the penalty picking up £69, instead of £30, great, also got two numbers come up on the Irish Lotto for a £1-50 stake returns of £91-50, so all in all a good night, thank you The under 21s, they played well, now for Wednesday.
