So that's why I haven't yet seen any Rovers shirts.

Dylan Lawlor, Cardiff City 19yo, has had a super game for Wales. His club career is 7 EFL games, 6 at tier 3, and 2 FA Cup ties. He’s got a future.
Wales win 0-1 and top the group.

Slovakia really giving Germany a game. They've had the better, and more, chances.
Dúbravka saved well on the half hour.

He was substituted on 46 minutes, so he got a run out unscathed so a positive for me.

I think Liverpool have had their pants down with Wirtz from the 4 games including the charity shield he looks poor.

What an inspired team effort by Slovakia!
It was no fluke. They were the better side throughout, playing some excellent football.
Their first ever win over Germany.
I'd have had Dúbravka down to have lots more to do than he had.
One excellent 1st half save. Stopped an OG in time added. The rest was pretty comfortable.
Well done, Slovakia

A good night all around. Dubravka keeps a clean sheet against Germany in a famous victory for Slovakia.
Hannibal subbed off after 88 minutes to a great round of applause with comms saying he had been superb. Tunisia 2-0 up, 3 minutes of added to play.

At a lower level, I played the whole game as the striker for my Birmingham Whites today as we won 4-1 with me getting our second and also having 2 assists.

Sometimes this walking football is dead easy! :D

How pleasing to see Germany continuing their rich vein of form.

I think, however, that Wirtz is a good player and will come good at Liverpool (but not before next week).

Good run down the inside left by Foster, cuts in onto his right, good strike but straight at the keeper.

I just thought it odd that he’d been called up but not named

Unless the squad is >23 players and they can only name 23 for a match

Wasn’t named in the squad but was called up as a 24th player four days ago. I can only presume that a player had suffered an injury but recovered.

Referee called to screen to upgrade a yellow to a red but he rightly says no. Ref is Daniel Siebert who we had at Aberdeen.

What on earth was the VAR looking at. Refreshing to see a ref stick to his guns though. The outcome is inevitable when the ref gets sent to the screen in the Premier League now.

Seems VAR thought he was denying a goalscoring opportunity but that was beyond me. Good to see a referee sticking to his guns though.

That Denmark - Scotland game was a stinker. Very little quality on display.

Hanley will still be at centre half in 2043.

Never mind a red, I didn't think it was even a free kick/yellow card; the ball only hit his upper arm rather than head because the Danish lad had given him a tug

Way I saw it if you amputated his arm the ball would have hit his body so no DOGSO. His arm wasn’t by his side so yellow was correct for me.

I didn’t think it was a free kick but having given it, VAR then decided it was a red card at least the referee had the good sense to say no to that.

As above, I didn't even think it was a yellow card. When they went to VAR I thought they must be watching a different game. Very strange.
