Has a rep for being a look at me guy. I thought he was pretty bad outside of that red. The yellow at the end of extra time was just as trash and if Switzerland would have won that shootout it would have been very critical to their chances in the semifinal.

Italy appeared to be clearly better, was annoyed by Adrian Healy, ESPN play-by-play guy, acting like Belgium is done forever, like they won't still be a top 10 team at the world cup in 16 months. He kept talking about a passing of the torch

screw it, LFG azzuri

strange game so far...evenly matched but more attacking opportunities than usual on both sides...very up and down it seems to me...neither team being conservative

i swear i could come up with like 20 rule changes to fix this almost good sport.

sys · « **Reply #89 on:** July 07, 2021, 04:22:30 PM »

one rule change is they need one or more penalties that fall in between the "has absolutely no impact on the game or players involved in any way" and "like 80% chance it decides the game".

That was a quick opening strike!

i can't believe the first score on a corner kick in the history of the sport occurred in the euro final.

Those goalies must be praying for the game to end in extra time so that they don't have to endure all of the pressure with penalty kicks.

Shootouts are so boring

dal9 · « **Reply #96 on:** July 11, 2021, 04:59:52 PM »

well the tactic to bring in pk takers at the end backfired spectacularly...as did the tactic of putting the pressure on a 19-yo to take kick #5...

didn't italy also bring zaza(?) in especially for pks where he missed that very funny one, however many years ago?

Sancho and/or Rashford should've come on half an hour earlier, not just for penalties.

Definitely the funniest way for England to lose it.

I'm not a soccer fan but love watching the euro/world cup, just something different about watching two countries go at it.

I didn't watch any of the south America tournament except for the Argentina/Brazil final and that seemed like a more watchable brand of soccer than most the Euro games I watched.

My soccer strategy is limited to being an average FIFA player but it seems like the Brazil/Argentina game they were constantly moving up and down the field while most euros just slowly pass the ball back and forth up the field.
