Euro 2020 Round of 16 Day 3: Game Thread

[Catcher Block]

The assist was better than the goal. That's an unreal pass after letting the play unfold.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

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

 

[candylandriots]

YAAAAASSSS!!!!

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Unbelievable.

 

[Zososoxfan]

I almost just shouted VERY loudly in a small office. HO LEE SHITE

 

[fletcherpost]

wow.

You have to give it to the Swiss...what a game.

 

[ifmanis5]

Spain/Croatia wasn't even the best game of the day.

 

[Ale Xander]

France playing the same defense they did in 1942

 

[allstonite]

Oh my

 

[Average Reds]

What a freaking goal that was.

 

[DamageTrain]

I was supposed to get some work done today... These two games have canceled a lot of that out.

 

[ifmanis5]

France playing the same defense they did in 1942

Trop tôt

 

[nolasoxfan]

WOW!

 

[shawnrbu]

Only 4 minutes?

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

France has soooo much talent... and Sissoko is on the pitch.

 

[Zososoxfan]

OK, the Swiss CANNOT defend with 3 guys

 

[nolasoxfan]

I was supposed to get some work done today... These two games have canceled a lot of that out.

I started the day with the matches on XM radio in the background. Productivity didn't go as planned.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

14 goals in today's two matches (to date).

 

[Kliq]

I really blew it by today being my in-office day and tomorrow my "work from home and watch soccer" day.

 

[Average Reds]

Man, they almost did it again. As did France.

What a fucking game.

 

[Ale Xander]

If the Swiss only had a striker still in

 

[Zososoxfan]

He almost brought that down even though he had no business doing so

 

[Pesky Pole]

Goodness. A better touch and France was out there. Then Coman almost ends it at the other end.

 

[pokey_reese]

Wow, that was another nail-biter!

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Holy shit this is absolute madness!

 

[Section30]

Last shot with 5sec left, saved by the crossbar. Wow what wild games today!

 

[fletcherpost]

crossbar challenge

 

[nolasoxfan]

Crossbar! Holy hell...

 

[SoxFanInCali]

A 94th minute where both teams almost won it. This is fun.

 

[Zososoxfan]

It can't be said enough, how shambolic it is that Sissoko is on the French squad, let alone the field

 

[McBride11]

Holy shit. What a game. What a day

Where is that south park meme of being satisfied with everything covered in well stuff

 

[67YAZ]

Unbelievable soccer today.

 

[Zososoxfan]

What are the substitution rules? 5 subs at 3 stoppages for the first 90, then...?

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

What are the substitution rules? 5 subs at 3 stoppages for the first 90, then...?

I'm not certain, but noteworthy that France has only used two while Switzerland has used five.

 

[shawnrbu]

What are the substitution rules? 5 subs at 3 stoppages for the first 90, then...?

Can bring on a 6th.

 

[johnmd20]

Unbelievable soccer today.

These games have been a joy to watch.

 

[67YAZ]

That incredible 1 handed save is only like the 20th best play on the day.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Mbabu looks like he's very loose with the ball but he's been creating a ton of offense for the Swiss

 

[Zososoxfan]

The energy on the field right now looks like my Sunday league games...when we kickoff.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I was wondering whether not having Griezmann for penalties might hurt so I looked up his numbers. He's horrible.

 

[johnmd20]

Trying to one time that pass. Lol. Only 500 feet over the goal.

 

[shawnrbu]

Sissoko lol

 

[coremiller]

Mbappe forgot he had Sissoko and not Griezmann filing the lane on that break.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

SoSoSissoko

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That was Mbappe's best play of the game too.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

France is getting dominated in the air. They need to clean this up if they advance.

 

[Zososoxfan]

SoSoSissoko

Is this soooo, soooo, Sissoko
AND/OR
So-so Sissoko

 

[Zososoxfan]

Xhaka has been excellent today, weird to see

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

More the former, but the latter rings true, too.

 

[Ale Xander]

Is this soooo, soooo, Sissoko
AND/OR
So-so Sissoko

He's a castaway lost at sea
