Deutschland!

[PittsburghTiger 6188]

Bout time.

[hobbes2702 13045]

Wirtz. I’d find a way to start him maybe 

[LTtxfan 49199]

GOAAAAAL

[TexArcher 37865]

So.  Boring.

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Gotta say it was coming. Spain wasn’t that organized. 

[AbeFroman 2178]

Whoa Nellie

[Captain Ron 12883]

Not so fast my friend!

This. They let their pants fall down, it was gonna happen.

[cmontexas 3271]

What a moment

[Macklemore 2872]

Kroos getting away with murder and Spain getting fucked by this ref.

Spain's defense was lacking late...

Extras here we come...

[UTexasFight 9454]

Here for old man Muller finishing this off 

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

germany previously solo-hosted the euros in 88 when there were only 8 teams, so the knockout round started with the semis, and they lost to the dutch

euro20 (played in 21) was multinational and germany lost to ingerland in the round of 16 at wembley

germany hosted the 74 mundial and won

germany next hosted in 06 and went out to champions italy in the semis in dortmund

3 of germany's 4 stars on their kit were won elsewhere

germany's 3 euro titles were won elsewhere

so spain advancing here would not be a shock

[UTexasFight 9454]

Of course not.

Germany haven’t beaten Spain in a major tournament since ‘88

 

More like Spain will advance until Germany takes it from them

a muller winner would be good bull

[Firemans4Horn 18080]

The yellow card suspension rules in this tournament are asinine. This better get fixed for WC26. 

[Ted Lange 16109]

These yellow card suspension rules suck shit.

[PittsburghTiger 6188]

We talk about it all the time, Me, Mikey & Pete, if you can’t get the perfect goal just start throwing the ball in the box and at goal. You never know what will happen. I just hate when an offense is too cautious.

Musiala with a great run and the rest of the German team is just standing and watching him.

Well Germany have 3 guys that would miss the semi. So, congrats. They’re were effectively allowed 2 for the final 3 matches.

Yeah, but players from either ESP or GER will miss the semifinals...

Accumulated yellow cards are wiped from players’ records following the conclusion of the quarter-finals, with the aim of reducing the likelihood of suspensions in the final. The only way a player can be banned for the Euro 2024 final is if they receive a red card (directly, or two yellows) in the semi-finals.

Kroos should have 3 yellows in this match, so this ref has really suspended giving yellows.

[AbeFroman 2178]

I disagree

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Handball on each side I think. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

No VAR?

[hobbes2702 13045]

Wow that seems like a handball 

[cmontexas 3271]

Cockroaches are allowed to use their hands

[TexArcher 37865]

Neutral -- that's a penalty.  The arm is away from the body.  This guy talking about the arm being close to the body is full of shit.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

What did Clattenburg say?  Did the possible German handball cancel out the obvious Spain handball?

That hand/arm was nowhere near his body. 
That was 100% a handball.

I really don't understand how EUFA could see how terribly Anthony Taylor refs EPL games and then decide to put him in charge of the biggest game of the tournament so far.

Germans have had their chances. They can’t bitch about that. You just have to finish, they haven’t.

So glad that I jinxed it in the direction of Germany scoring!

 

[hobbes2702 13045]

Not sure what Cucurella is wanting there. He called the foul, it wasn’t gonna be a yellow

Apparently the German who passed it back was offside by a couple of inches. 

Handball never happened.

I think he handled it as well when bringing the ball down.

When you compare them to the EPL and other leagues, these rules are stupid. The EPL is 10 across the first 32 games, basically 1 every 3 games. Not sure why FIFA and the confederations use a similar ratio. I still don't know why they don't use rolling windows, accumulate 2 cards across any 3 game window = suspension.

 

Oh man that was close!
