Royal Rother I thought Belgium, after being pretty average for most of the last few years, looked really good last night. Wasn’t expecting that.

I quite like Belgium, although it is fun watching them fail.

Bored now! Why can't we have two group's final games on the same day? Ridiculously unnecessary dragging out of a tournament to maximise pre-season hassle for football clubs.

Watch the cricket for a bit (if you even vaguely like cricket, of course)

Nobody cares about domestic football, it sucks. The Euros are a welcome break from the tedium of transfer rumours and FFP bullshit.

I could be wrong but I didn’t read Sutekh’s as being bored with the Euro’s, just that there’s a big two-gamed hole in the day now.

There was a moan in there about pre season hassle for clubs. Who cares?

Germany and the Swiss seem to be playing some decent football on the Frankfurt pitch…

You can see they didn't quite trust it to start with, quite a few unnecessarily lofted passes. Some misplaced touches from the German's which is uncharacteristic.

But both teams have generally played better football. Although the pitch is supposedly better

I wonder if Vargas got a neck injury. He was very still with twitching fingers.

That is not a penalty. Cheating b*stards...just like 78.

Seemed to jump into the defender looking for it and one angle showed he had hold of the Hungarian shirt. Thought that ref did well.

When you think how many penalties are given for the slightest contact that was a rugby tackle

Footballers are con artists and sometimes they get caught out.
