Yessssssssssssss

 

[jonnyp]

Nice assist by Eriksen

 

[ardiles]

Against the run of play, but well done Denmark. Good goal.

 

[Deleted member 29446]

Only Eriksen could make that assist, was insane..

Totally underserved though - Switzerland should have scored 3.

Schmeichel has been outstanding

 

[Marty]

Watch out for Kepa punching a Norwegian in the head in the Norway v Spain highlights. Ouch.

King scored the resulting penalty to make it 1-1 and Norway still have a (very outside) chance of qualifying.

 

[ardiles]

Super pass by Eden Hazard for Belgium’s second goal.

 

[Ionman34]

Superb from Ben Davies there

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Davies has had a good game from what I’ve seen. But I’ve only watched 10 minutes.

A strong 10 minutes, though

De Gea ligament injury

And Kepa is benched the next one. By the looks of it, Spain has not found their number one yet, as they keeps on continuing swapping the pair every other game

Just getting ready for the Northern Ireland v Holland game, Windsor park split one half green the other orange, another time a different circumstance a bit concerning but this is football ?

 

[tobi]

That's a ridiculous handball decision.

 

[worcestersauce]

That is an object lesson in how to intimidate and increase the pressure on the penalty taker to disturb him enough to make him miss. Van Dink took an age to even let the referee clear the box and then the keeper walks out to the ball and calls the referee wasting another thirty seconds and it worked. I sometimes think the penalty taker should walk back to the centre circle until the mischief has died down or go and stand in the goal.

Or just windmill into the goalie and anyone else in sight.

Well played Norn Iron. Had the Dutch shitting themselves through much of that match. Wasn’t a penalty tbf, but deserved at least a couple from open play. Excellent performance really.

 

[sausage]

Out of 42 games now, Roberto Martinez has only lost 3 with Belgium so far:
0-2 to Spain in his first match
0-1 to France in the WC Semis
2-5 to Switzerland in the Nation's League

In those 42 games, they've scored 128 goals and conceded 32.


Impressive stuff really.

NI playoff picture

" Monday morning, so start the week by impressing your mates/work colleagues with your play off knowledge! It's all down to Wales v Hungary tomorrow night.

If Wales beat Hungary then its Bosnia v N Ireland in March

If Wales don't beat Hungary then we have a 33% chance of being drawn to play at home v either Bulgaria or Israel or Romania. That draw is on Friday, If we don't get drawn out then it is still Bosnia away.

Impress them further by knowing that if we do end up playing Bosnia then the result of Republic v Denmark match tonight will be of importance.

If the Republic don't win tonight then the other play off semi will be Slovakia v Rep Ireland. If they do win it will be Denmark v Slovakia.

The winner of that game will play the winner of our game in the final."

Come on you Taffs!!!

If that National Anthem from the crowd don’t get you fired up then nothing will. Awesome from the crowd

 

[nailsy]

What a double save that was by Hennessy!

 

[nailsy]

Congratulations to Wales!

Anyone else see Bale drop the F-Bomb In the interview afterwards?
