OT: Euro 2016

what a game between Poland and Switzerland. That goal by "Chips Don't Lie" Shikiri. Acorbatic.

Lewandowski has another match to score.

oh man, my neighborhood probably going crazy right now. North Brooklyn is the American Poland haha


I am waiting for 3 for the Portugal game. It is going to be a tough one for us (Portugal). Croatia is a really strong team, lets hope Ronaldo brings it this time around but Nani has been the highlight of the team for the past 3 matches.

Been a great Euro so far.

major disappointment - the announcers said - this is so boring what are the guys in the studio booth going to talk about at halftime. 2nd half wasn't any better - no one willing to push forward (settling for the dreaded pk's).
I spoke to soooooooooonnnnnn.

CR7 is still awful in big tournament games. How can he miss so many "easy" goals? And 0 shots on goal in 90' by either team had not happened since 1980.

Quaresma was such a huge waste of money at Inter, and then he wins it for POR.

That Shaqiri goal was insane.



Forza ITA vs ESP....

The swiss goal was indeed insane.


CR7 is an amazing player and it is not the big tournament that is the problem, he is just used to a different kind of team. Also, check the last match against hungary, Ronaldo won the game for Portugal. He also is 1 goal away from tieing the best scorer on all Euro cups.

Quaresma is an amazing player. Fun fact, he was my Grandparents neighbour in the town I grew up in in Portugal. Grandma still lives there, in the same house.

it was an aweful game, not going to lie but these happen once in a while. Glad it did not go to PKs because pretty sure the result would have been the opposite

CR7 has been bad at WCs and Euros, historically. I'm not talking about any single game. He is of course a great player, but he simply has not performed to his RM level at major tournaments, and that is not solely on RM v POR imo.

Quaresma has not been a great player for a while. At Inter he was a complete €30M bust, a real disaster. Even Mou, who wanted him at all costs, ended up losing faith in him. And then what? Pretty much a 0 in Turkey, Arabia....

Pox, pox, pox, and more pox!

ITA are playing great, but I'm so nervous right now; they have blown a couple of match-clinching opportunities.

What, when he scored that goal?
No, I think that was legit joy.



In other news, Björk and Guðmundur Róbert Guðmundsson (you know, Iceland's National Road Champion) are completely kicking The Rolling Stones', The Beatles', The Who's, The Clash's, etc., and Brad Wiggins'/Chris Froome's, etc. ass, all over the place.

This is unbelievable, just a complete demolition.
"All in all there's an enormous, huge, vast, immense, gigantic, giant, massive, colossal, mammoth, tremendous, monumental, epic, prodigious, mountainous, king-sized, titanic, towering, elephantine, gargantuan, Brobdingnagian, hole in the wall..."

Holy ****e.
Góða nótt, England. Brexit number tveir.

Ha ha ha!
Well, Mr. Hodgson is certainly available, as of 10 minutes ago.

This is just a massive upset.
