OMG that may have been the craziest 30 seconds of soccer I've ever seen.
^^^ Really?
Off the top of my head in recent memory:

And then there was Croatia v Portugal
Yeah, that was awful. The fact that they are one of the favorites to win that side of the bracket, while Germany will face Italy or Spain, and Iceland will face France :biggrin: is shocking.
I'm rooting for Iceland based on the theory that it is the homeland of the Icemen.
Stand up for the boys in green!!
1-0 in the second minute. Let's go!
[emoji1081][emoji1081][emoji1081] lets go boys.
FFS, cmon Ireland!!!!!Quote:

Seriously though, we had a great run but got outclassed today. Griezemann is a beast and just took over for a few minutes there.
Still winning the battle of the fans though.
That's nice - but I'd never seen them. I did not claim that it was definitively the craziest 30 seconds of all time. meh - hyperbole is the greatest thing ever.Quote:

Go England!
Well, the Germans were as efficient as possible. Well dispatched of a team they should handle easily
Just taking the piss, no worries. Though, speaking of hyperbole, if the announcers continue saying that every good goal is 'goal of the tournament' I'm going to lose my mind. Yeah, some spectacular goals have been scored, but just call it as such, or a contender for goal of the tournament.Quote:

Iceland vs the French? Yes please! (though England v France would be good, too)
Balls!
At 1-0 Hungary still looked to be making a game of it. 3 goals in last 15 minutes

Pretty chippy game. Ref has a lot on his hands. Each team has a red card now.
People are going to be talking about this final for a long time. Good drama.
What in the fuck is this ref doing. Atrocious. Neither of those reds were warranted, nor was the yellow on Messi. This half is going to be nuts.
Is there another tournament going on?
Messi is a cheater. Threw himself into Chilean player and then immediately asked for 2nd yellow.
IMO he could have had two yellows and been sent off for simulation
Agree. They need to regulate the diving and embellishment out of the game. Give players who dive yellows and reds. The game would be so much better. The NBA did it when they started fining players who fake taking charges.
Nice troll, guys. Where was the dive on either of those plays? Dude definitely didn't deserve a second red (especially considering it's a final) but he also turned his back directly into Messi, who was running full speed - what's Leo supposed to do? That play in the box wasn't a penalty, but it wasn't a dive either.
