Nice header from big Martyn Ramsay today. I had no idea he is Austrian. Hope his injury isn't too bad 🙏

Alan Weir

I have become convinced that the ‘big’ teams have become obsessed with possession to the detriment of exciting, attacking football. Pass, pass, pass can be a bit dull, dull, dull.

John Smith

Slovakia Ukraine was a belter. Bit let down by Holland France, that goal should’ve stood in my opinion. Poland played well, I think Austria can go far in this

Alan Weir

Agreed. I’ve lost count the amount of times the top teams have the potential for a shot, cross or even a fast breakaway, only to turn back, keep possession and have five minutes more of holding onto the ball.

Alan Weir

I would imagine the analytics and stats say the more you have the ball the more likely you are to win, but by Christ it can be a borefest to watch. Rabiot’s ridiculous pass to Griezmann was the ultimate in “must pass, mustn’t shoot”😁.

Alan Weir

You just wonder if an outsider could win the whole thing. Have the favourites really impressed yet? Spain, perhaps, with their flying wingers.

Heart and Hand

Yeah Spain definitely, Germany too. But the likes of the Austrians and Turks will be thinking with a bit of luck…

David Booth

The format of the competition plays a massive part in the bigger teams approach for me. 4 points practically guarentees progression so a draw tonight suited both sides.

Alan Weir

Thankfully I had a small wager on the hour mark on 0-0. Bearing in mind Simons’ goal, I think the referee had the same bet😁

Did you guys notice Armstrongs fist full of the lads jersey at the same time as contact to the calf?
