UEFA European Championship 2021

You could tell that Bale wasn't up for taking that penalty.
He just looked far too nervous.

Yeah the man has lost it , surprised Real Madrid even want him back.

FFS, that late goal just messed up my joker!

I normally like watching Gareth Bale, but that weird man-bun makes me wish terrible things on him and the whole welsh team.

If you’re going to go to a major tournament with a strange girly hairdo, then it should be 1994 and your name had better be Roberto Baggio.

(You’re still going to shank a penalty into the stands, but at least it’ll be in the final…)

A couple of good games this afternoon - Ukraine 2-1 Macedonia and Denmark 1-2 Belgium.

Plenty of good goals and a fitting tribute in the second game to the stricken Christian Eriksen in the tenth minute when both teams put the ball out of play for a stadium-wide applause.

I thought Belgium's big stars changed the game in their favour in the second half but a thoroughly enjoyable match in what could still be a very tight group.

From C.C.C.P. to C.R.A.P

FROM C.C.C.P to C.R.A.P to P.I.S.S. P.O.O.R??

Am I seeing things or is North Macedonia having something of a bloody good tournament by not being hammered like debut teams sometimes are? Bloody hell they could probably give BRAZIL a good game if they got to QATAR!!!

Best commentary team by far is Clive Tyldesley and Ally McCoist

I am pretty sure Clive And Ally did the commentary for FIFA games once!!!

Wonder if they'll have Ally on fhe panel tomorrow?? I actually think he talks a lot of sense about Scottish football - i.e swhere it is now and where it needs to be and stuff he has a lot of passion for the scottish game and I think the Scottish FA would do well to listen to him.

Steve Clarke has done a great job in turning the fortunes of the Scottish team around and I do think Scottish needs to keep having a scottish manager at the helm for a while yet to keep the passion that Steve's built in the team going. Mind I wonder if Jurgen Kloop would be a good fit if Steve Stepped down and if Klopp fancied a international job.
