The Eurocup QF Thread: Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, Vaarwel, Adeus, and...Goodbye to Croatia

Also, whatever happens in this game, Switzerland deserves so much credit for their showing this tournament.

It’s embarrassing the Spanish can’t win this up 1 without Swiss having their 2 most resumeed attackers

 

[pokey_reese]

Is the Swiss can keep it even after 40 minutes of being down a man, that's pretty incredible.

 

[speedracer]

feel like Spain could easily double their volume of crosses and hope for a lucky bounce/accidental handball/whatever without much additional risk of being countered

I feel like they are consistently pretty good in tournaments. They have a lot of players that play at good clubs, but not many who play at real UCL powers, which I think masks the fact that they have a lot of talent.

 

[Ale Xander]

DVS, Fernando and Andres must be holding their heads in their hands watching this fuckup

 

[McBride11]

Yann is the Mann

 

[candylandriots]

It seems like there is an inordinate number of Vietnamese flags at this game.

 

[wonderland]

Moreno has had a few good chances but hasn’t caught the ball cleanly.

There are two teams on the pitch. Spain should score, sure, but the Swiss have been resolute.

 

[speedracer]

admire Switzerland's derring-do but this is the time to staple themselves to the box/roll around on the ground/kick the ball OB/etc

Technically 1.91

 

[DJnVa]

Momentum, for as much as that's worth, has to swing to SUI now--both for making it to PKs and winning on them the other day.

And, did I hear that right--Spain has not converted any of their last 5 PKs? That seems nuts.

 

[Ale Xander]

This is opening up quite nicely for an Italy v. England/Ukraine final.

 

[Kliq]

How come Spain didn't sub in De Gaea for the shootout?

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Technically 1.91

I laughed

 

[Ale Xander]

Six!

 

[DJnVa]

6 in a row? Wow

 

[Ed Hillel]

Missing 6 in a row has to be a record

 

[Kliq]

First guy missing puts so much pressure on the subsequent takers.

 

[the1andonly3003]

thanks Derek Rae

 

[pokey_reese]

Holy shit

 

[Ale Xander]

Spain is no Ukraine

 

[DJnVa]

SOMMER!!!

 

[johnmd20]

Save city!

 

[cshea]

wow

 

[Kliq]

These are some bad penalties.

 

[Dummy Hoy]

What a badass Sommer is

 

[DJnVa]

JFC. Hit it with pace!

 

[johnmd20]

This is AMAZING!

 

[OCST]

What the sweet jumping Jesus on a fucking pogo stick is going on here???

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice one Baggio

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh dear

 

[johnmd20]

Too high, bro.

 

[OCST]

Have all of these been drugged???

 

[DJnVa]

I just don't understand. Low to corner with pace and keeper most likely has no chance.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Just sprint up and toe it

 

[OCST]

What if no one scores?

 

[BaseballJones]

Switzerland looked so good vs France in PKs. Now they look awful.

 

[Kliq]

Well, Sommer tried.

 

[Ale Xander]

Yeah like that

Spain survives

no chocolate for me

 

[Kliq]

Switzerland missing a lot of their experienced players probably hurt them in the PKs.

 

[OCST]

When you're a Switzerland and you get through to pens against a Spain, you better win that shit.

Especially if you've been playing with ten.

 

[pokey_reese]

Man, it really feels like the Swiss lost it, more than Spain won it, though.

 

[Ale Xander]

Rooting for a chocolate against wine one more time in 15

 

[Ale Xander]

Did they just say KDB is starting?????

 

[shawnrbu]

Switzerland missing a lot of their experienced players probably hurt them in the PKs.

It was the same guys in the same order as Monday. Worked out once at least.

 

[Arroyo Con Frijoles]

Vargas inconsolable

 

[67YAZ]

Gutted for the Swiss. But a performance they can tell their grandkids about.

 

[Ale Xander]

KDB IN CONFIRMED!!!
