Enter Shaqiri

Exit Shaqiri

They took him off early last match too as I recall

 

[Mr.Bishie]

This is where the 10 minute sending off for a yellow in rugby is a move that could be adopted by football authorities.

The whole miss a game cos of a yellow is utter fucking bollocks

 

[quiet guy]

Saving him for the next game

 

[JimW]

Lee Dixon disagrees with it, but that's a red in this tournament. The players know that.

Red in semi pro leagues now in my experience. In Lee's day you had to see bone or something.

I don't think so, no. That's a straight red because it's dangerous, get off forever if you're gonna do that

No it isn't. There has to be some sanction if you're getting carded in multiple matches

 

[JimW]

Exactly, shouldn't be a bonus for missing your wild assault.

Bollocks is there. Shit reff’in accounts for enough bollocks. Not that red sending off mind!

 

[two sheds]

Swiss will have difficulty in extra time - what temperatures are there over there?

 

[Diamond]

Love the cowbell in the background

 

[JTG]

Bollocks is there. Shit reff’in accounts for enough bollocks. Not that red sending off mind!

So you want to introduce a licence to commit one bookable offence in every match for each player with zero accountability for it? I don't think that would really improve games as a footballing spectacle tbh

Who said that?

I liked it in Italy when Dennis Law played there I read that arguments with the ref became so common that this was a whole table of fines for the different gestures: 1000? lira for raising one arm, 2000? lira for raising both arms ...

 

[The39thStep]

Card was correct imo , reckless and dangerous even though I want Spain to win

57p and £1.14

I looked it up. More interesting than the actual game.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Swiss pretty comfortable really.

 

[two sheds]

May well have been 100,000 and 200,000 then

Yeah Italian lira was always silly numbers. Turkish lira even more so.

 

[Badgers]

Top reactions

Absolute scenes

 

[quiet guy]

What a miss

 

[JimW]

Great, half an hour of Spain knocking it about looking for an opening. Then fluffing it.

Not sure how much they were paid then, British record transfer was Greaves at under £100,000.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Obviously depends on what happens in their game, but this is looking pretty good for Italy/Belgium at the moment.

 

[quiet guy]

Nice shot but we'll saved by Sommer

 

[smmudge]

How come Switzerland is SUI like Suisse but Spain is SPA. Why not ESP

It’s ESP over here

 

[smmudge]

Well! Interesting....

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell, Sommer! Hero in the last game, been a hero in this one too!

It's CH on those bumper stickers still is it? Seen ESP, maybe varies by channel.
More hot Sommer just.
