UEFA EURO 2024 (Semi Finals) - On Optus Sport

[darth_timon]

You just know Ronaldo will not prove to be as effective as he once was. Will Mbappe come alive?

 

[RPCB]

“Mbappe keen to get back on.” Yeah, after 2-3 minutes of being in absolute agony because the ball hit him in the side of the head.

 

[darth_timon]

What is it about top teams and a failure to score?! Unless you're Spain that is...

 

[darth_timon]

That, right there, is perhaps a sign to Ronaldo that he should step aside, at least for Portugal.

 

[RPCB]

Funny how Ronaldo tries to do the Chiellini thing during the coin toss of looking relaxed, but then does nothing to influence the game. It happens to everyone. He is just old now.

He’ll probably score the winning goal now.

Mind you, Pepe is even older, and he's still getting in the blocks and tackles. Granted, his role is a little different, but still, what a player, especially for a 41 year-old.

This is now definitively the worst game of the tournament.

At least the torture of France vs Belgium (and a couple of England's group stage games) was over after 90 minutes.

Mbappe taking himself out because his mask is bothering him.

 

[RPCB]

Pick of the bunch is Spain vs Germany IMO.

In the end, the Netherland/Turkey match will probably be the most exciting and attacking.

This is the prediction version of “scenes”.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

The finishing of both teams has been horrible

 

[RPCB]

“A game of football doesn’t deserve to finish on a penalty shootout.”

**** off. Try to watch 120 minutes of this.

 

[RPCB]

If this was baseball, Ronaldo would have balked about three times.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

France clinical in the shoot-out
If Mbappe finally pulls his finger out they might actually win the whole thing.

Looked like a handball to me ..arm seemed wide enough

 

[Sozabarus]

Arm was down and in a natural position, glad it wasn’t given.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Kroos leaving his mark on 2 Barca players

In a shock to no one, Anthony Taylor is losing control of the game

I counted 5 yellow card offences by Kroos. If he got a card for the foul that put Pedri out of the game he would have been much less influential. I don't know why Taylor gets top games.

 

[Cruyff14]

Glad Portugal are eliminated.

Joao Failex.

And Havertz doing some Havertz stuff.

And France into the semis without an open play goal. And Kante is such a stud, love him.

 

[royboy2]

Good to see the Krauts out. Hopefully that commentator goes with them

 

[glenferry23]

It looked a handball to me. Germany had a number of chances too that they didn’t capitalise on.

France still without an open play goal at this stage of the tournament is quite the stat. They can only rely on their defensive quality to get them through matches for so long.

 

[KekiRoo]

Interesting to note that the last 2 teams to knock Germany out of a tournament they've hosted have gone on to win the Final. Holland @ Euro 88 (against West Germany) & Italy @ WC 06.

Shame that Germany have gone though. Deserve to be in a semi ahead of the likes of France.
