it will be determined by PK.
....oh bitte nicht!
Who knew....Toni Kroos' last game would be so dramatic!!!

Handball!!! That's a penalty! VAR!!!
Come on, Cucurella expanded the body shape. That's a clear penalty :(

@Torq
The rules analyst on American TV (a brit) was saying it's a good no handball call, because....Cucubird was pulling his hand in.
Who gives a ****, it hit his hand.

Cucubird was pulling his hand in
Ridiculous.
If he had his arm right at his body (fully pulled in) and was hit, that's a no handball. However, if the arm is not fully pulled in (touching the player's side), then it doesn't matter if he was in the process of pulling it in, thinking about pulling it in or his grandma told him to pull it in - the point is it wasn't pulled in, and his body shape was expanded and in way of the ball.
Clear penalty. Fire the analyst.
a brit
Typical.

There goes Germoney and there goes Mymoney :( Oh, well...
but the boys made us proud
Yes, they put up a good fight. It should have gone into penalties. How cruel can football get?

Not desired outcome, but excellent match.
There goes Germoney and there goes Mymoney :( Oh, well..
😀. Good line. Sucks your money flew away, though.

Which one?
Not England (self-explanatory), not Netherlands (Koeman), not France (doubly self-explanatory). Apart from that, I don't mind.

That's football, isn't it....one time you win / one time you lose (cruelly)!
Apart from that, I don't mind.
Heh:)
What's left? Ronaldo?

Serves me well for gambling. :) Luckily it wasn't much.
What's left? Ronaldo?
Sure, why not. Portugal it is then. :)

....but seriously....Spain is beatable....we could had swung it...with abit more luck...they are not automatically the next Champions, mark my words!
Torq

I wouldn't mind the Swiss winning it all.
Me neither. They're definitely an underdog so it would be a nice surprise!
Spain is beatable
Definitely.
Torq

Not for me. Portugal is a Catholic country (Fatima etc.), so I'll stick with them.
But if they get eliminated, I switch to Switzerland. :)
Torq
5 Jul 2024 #357
Portugal first...then the Swiss! :)
So hopefully France and England will be eliminated in QF, and only Netherlands left to hate in the semi-finals. :)
EDIT: Pepe runs fast for a 41-year-old :)

*squeezes nailless thumbs*
...but yeah....Pepe, Ronaldo...now that Toni Kroos has really started his retirement, the last old men from another football generation! I wish them a great going out...

I love France for their wines and cars, but I also love Portugal for all. I wonder who will win.

Exactly. It's their last great tournament; it would be fitting if the legends got the legendary trophy at the end of their careers.
