Czech Republic v Denmark - Saturday 03/07 - 17:00 - ITV

[Sprocket.]

Come on Denmark.

 

[JTG]

Bloodied bandage surely guarantees at least extra time

Reminds me, must sort out that Terry Butcher Hallowe'en costume this year

 

[JimW]

Not exactly edge of the seat stuff, is it?
I think maybe we've been spoilt by some of the recent games.

Can't agree, not quite the same quality but a right old ding dong

I saw a Graeme Souness fancy dress costume earlier today.

 

[Athos]

Don't care who wins; just want it to go to pens, with the eventual winner picking up lots of injuries.

That was just Graeme Souness though

I feel like a good portion of the recent games never really kicked off until late into the second half, when teams started worrying about being eliminated and so just start going hell for leather, and that's when the end-to-end or desperate attacking/defending comes in, and that's what people remember rather than the 60/70/80 minutes that have come before.

I do think both seem to have lost a certain amount of zest. Making mistakes and the cutting edge has gone, Danes' second goal aside. Both are fallible and have possibly peaked already

Mother of god

 

[JimW]

That blonde lad has wasted a load of excellent crossing situations now including that present and the follow up

plus a couple of red cards for crucial players.

They'll be dead on their feet if it does go to extra time

Must be like playing in a sauna.

 

[JimW]

Good effort

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooooh, I'd be pissed at him for not puling that back, whether fan or teammate.

Christensen hands to Andersen

Going from this to a damp night in London on Wednesday will be interesting

Danish ancestry here, so they're my 'other' team...come on Denmark!

Most of northern England has Danish ancestry tbf

Very true.

 

[JimW]

Obviously I'm more of a Bohemian myself

 

[JimW]

Also as part Irish can't forget Clontarf's Plains

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, bloody hell, only 2 minutes left!

 

[Rebelda]

Ooh, bloody hell, only 2 minutes left!

There'll be loads of extra time.

 

[JimW]

Ooh, bloody hell, only 2 minutes left!

All that bandaging will add a fair bit

 

[JTG]

Obviously I'm more of a Bohemian myself

I believe 'hipster' is the preferred nomenclature these days

 

[JTG]

All that bandaging will add a fair bit

Really need Rebelda's expert opinion on this
