Euro 2020 Round of 16 Day 3: Game Thread

[Jimy Hendrix]

That Benzema first touch for the first goal, that Mbappe backheel for the second. When you can start multiple superstars in your attack it covers up for a lot of sins.

When the worst member of your front six is either Coman or Griezmann, you're in pretty good shape.

 

[Catcher Block]

Still can't get over that Benzema touch. That's some Pele shit.

I couldn't figure out why the keeper was slow to react and come out to close him down, and you have to imagine it's because he had no business thinking Benzema would gather that pass so smoothly.

 

[Ale Xander]

HOW DO YOU MISS THAT?

Whistle?

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Can't say the Swiss haven't had their chances

 

[ifmanis5]

Yikes

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Watching the replay again that's actually a pretty poor pass from Mbappe that Benzema saved with that touch. Mbappe has been a little off all game.

Belgian update:
Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard are OUT of Belgium's quarterfinal against Italy—but manager Roberto Martinez says both could return if Belgium progress

 

[Zososoxfan]

Maybe if Barca get rid of Lenglet they can improve as much as France has from the first half to the second

Whoa, that's brutal.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Kimpembe looked a little overwhelmed against Bayern in the UCL final last year, but since then he's impressed me a lot every time I've watched him.

 

[Zososoxfan]

So long Alpine Messi, here's to hoping for a comeback so we can see you again soon

 

[Ale Xander]

That works

 

[Zososoxfan]

GTFO

 

[ifmanis5]

WOW

 

[pokey_reese]

That'll do it

 

[Catcher Block]

Simply can't do it better than that. Wow.

 

[candylandriots]

Fuck this sport.

 

[canderson]

Did he call corner pocket?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If you could take a picture of where he wanted to put that ball I bet he didn't miss the spot by more than an inch.

 

[McBride11]

And Pogba continues to cement himself as top player

 

[Zososoxfan]

Belgium-Italy and Spain-France in the QF lol.

 

[allstonite]

He’s so fun to watch when he’s on

 

[johnmd20]

That shot was literally amazing.

 

[candylandriots]

Don't be too hard on yourself man.

It seldom goes well...But I suppose a lot of us regulars can say that too. At least I have Union.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

French Pogba is so free, happy and beautiful.
Manchester ruins him.

 

[ifmanis5]

Absolute fireworks here.

 

[67YAZ]

Who needs tactics when your boys can just ball out.

 

[ifmanis5]

Alive!

 

[Zososoxfan]

Life!

 

[Ale Xander]

That was a huge insurance goal a few minutes earlier

 

[pokey_reese]

Alive?

 

[Zososoxfan]

Was just thinking 'who would've thought that Rabiot would be the answer to who should play RB for France'...

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Ha, it couldn't possibly happen again, right?

 

[candylandriots]

Man, that penalty...

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

French have been rotten in the air all game. Jump!

 

[Zososoxfan]

The Swiss are running on fumes. How many more legit chances will they get? Maybe 3?

 

[canderson]

DAMNIT

 

[Ale Xander]

So close

 

[pokey_reese]

fuuuuuuuuu

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Crap.

 

[McBride11]

Wow. So close Swiss. The toe offside

 

[coremiller]

Lol France have all this talent and they bring on ... Sissoko?!?!?

 

[fletcherpost]

It seldom goes well...But I suppose a lot of us regulars can say that too. At least I have Union.

And i want Separation.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good job removing Griezmann, asshat!

LOLOLOL

 

[Zososoxfan]

OH MY MY MY

 

[ifmanis5]

HOLY SHIT

 

[pokey_reese]

That one counts!

 

[ernieshore]

Wow. This day. Just wow.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Have a game Verane.

 

[McBride11]

OH FUCK. ONSIDE THERE
