Well, at least the 30th minute seemed to have passed peacefully (didn't watch at that time).

Still enough time for Croatia to score in the second half.

Turkey found the goal? how did that happen?

Spoilers still don't work, so everyone will believe you!

While we won't see a goal for the rest of the evening according to my guess, why not talk about the Euro 2020.
Is it a good idea to have it in 13 different countries?
I like the principle, but I can think of a few problems.
Ever since public viewing became a thing in Germany (2006) a real championship at home isn't needed anymore.
Traveling for fans might become quite the task though.

I think it's a nice idea with it being an anniversary year, but for the travelling fan it could get rather costly if their Nation goes all the way.

Well done Ref, award Spain a penalty for the exact thing you denied Croatia a few minutes before.

Luckily the keeper comes to the rescue.

Yes and no. I think it takes away from the atmosphere that is created in a specific country and also while I could go to enjoy the tournament in say UK, Germany, Portugal, whatever, I would never follow them across all Europe. That's just not possible for the average fan, which means less opportunity to experience the party.

I would have happily gone to France this summer if it wasn't for the high risk.

I hate when commentators say a penalty was missed when the keeper saves it. If it lands in row Z, hits a post or the corner flag it's a miss. If the keeper stops it going in the net then it's a SAVE.

Well, to be fair though when you shoot it so bad it's also a failure on the striker's part <_<

I find myself rooting for Croatia despite betting against them. They're considered the underdog in this game but you wouldn't know it from the way they've played.

Yea, this true but I've always seen it as if the keeper has to stop it from going in, however terribad the shot was, it's not a miss. Unless you're Peter Divine, then you should just stay away from Penalties altogether.

I`d be a great ref, if there's no blood it's not a foul. Will stop all the wussies from throwing themselves to the ground for no reason.

Maybe you are right with the championship at home feeling.
We had been successful enough since 2006 to preserve a feeling close to it, so we might be in an exceptional situation.
On the other hand it is sad that big nations like Italy have to wait so long for a major tournament to be held there again.
Last time was 1990 world cup and euro 1980? Nearly skipping a whole generation already.

There died my guess.

Yea, I was mostly joking, just don't like seeing players falling over for nothing and playing the ref. Bit like Spain did.

Germany's Mascot in 06 was supposed to a Lion with a talking football sidekick. But it looked more like a Bear than a Lion.

So Northern Ireland and Slovakia are confirmed to go through. If Portugal/Sweden get a point they'll replace Albania/Turkey
