we got a link?

Euro 2004 deserves its own thread.  The rosters of France, England, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Czechia are ridiculous.  And then Greece wins it.

I think I get it.  I know I love it.  But what's that supposed to be in his right eye?  

[alincoln 2385]

Cash?

[YGIFS 19452]

Yeah, maybe.  I can't make out images on computer screens very well in middle age.  I get the bribery connotation but why in his eye socket?  Seems weird.  I guess it's a think-piece.  

Just watched the Serbia/Slovenia replay of the equalizer goal.  Does everybody from Slovenia just gobble cock, is that like their thing?

What goal defense doing?

[Captain Ron 12931]

Feel bad for the Ukrainian keeper, he had done so much thus far. But Slovakia kept him under pressure and got thru.

[Jive Turkey 12656]

These 8 am games have been bangers. 

[Jive Turkey 12656]

Mudryk with a terrible decision on that counter and quite possibly the worst shot I’ve ever seen.

I bet if you break it down, the bulk of the morning games (the ones that are mid day in Germany) are between lesser ranked teams in the standings, pot 3 and 4 teams (Slovakia-Ukraine fits this). The teams gotta go for it in this matchup, hence the fun games.

[ConferenceRoom 6147]

Zinny has been great today. 

[HenryJames 66189]

Groin, imo.

[Captain Ron 12931]

Awww shit. Let's go Ukraine!!!

[ConferenceRoom 6147]

Touch of the tournament right there. 

[Captain Ron 12931]

Man, what touches to score that one.

[Jive Turkey 12656]

slo mo on that was awesome. the touch and the attempt to keep it out.

[HenryJames 66189]

Just a bit high.

[ConferenceRoom 6147]

Slovenia PTSD here. 

[HenryJames 66189]

If Belgium beats Romania, all four teams in Group E will be tied.

[Firemans4Horn 18128]

Nice bounce back game from Ukraine.

What a tournament.

[PittsburghTiger 6209]

Fantastic goal for Austria to take the lead, 2-1, we are now in 69th minute. 

 

Very entertaining game.

 

One of my grandfathers was born in Wien, although he considered himself to be Deutscher.

Still, I kind of root for Österreich.

And we're about to be done here.

[PittsburghTiger 6209]

There will be a review I’d guess.

[Braff Zacklin 13666]

LoL Austrian gave the keeper a bit of boot as he went flailing by. Definitely looked intentional.

[PittsburghTiger 6209]

Oh no, straight to the PK. Interesting.

 

[Captain Ron 12931]

That's as clear of a foul by a keeper as you will find. He throws his arms out hoping and catches his knee. 

[Braff Zacklin 13666]

It was a clear PK and yellow. No review necessary.

But I'm still chuckling at that boot the Austrian gave the keeper.

I was a bit distracted looking at apartments in Vegas. My nephew might be moving there this summer.

Condolences. Did he commit some sort of crime or does he just hate life?

Edited June 21 by Braff Zacklin

[Captain Ron 12931]

I'll rephrase - he didnt' catch his knee, but he catches the foot. I don't doubt that the attacking player "leaves his foot there" but SZCZEZNZEZNEZ caught him and knew it from the moment he got up - that's why he gave a pat to the ref and went and checked on the player. Again, and obvious call.
