For anyone who thinks you need to use arms and elbows when leaping watch Ronaldo's headers and he just leaps with his arms by his side and still gets above defenders.
This is a very entertaining game for a neutral to watch. Both goals are great.
I know you're Chinese but there is no neutral in this game for the English. Come on Hungary!!
Haha, I know many of you hate France. But I must admit judging from this game both France and Hungary look better than England. Hungary did especially well. I'm surprised at how good they are! They defended and attacked both brilliantly and effectively. I really like England (always support them in tournaments) but this Hungarian team is such an inspiration and I kept thinking England would lose to them while watching the game. I know none of the Hungarian players (apart from Nego of course) yet they almost beat France and totally deserved the point.
I heard the other day that England have the most expensive squad at this tournament but having read the posts on the England v Scotland match thead and then watched today's Hungary game I don't think the total value of a squad matters.
And that is why Southgate is so negative. Because teams cannot afford to go behind at this level.
Exactly. This has been a tough tournament for some of the bigger teams already. France have drawn with Hungary, Spain couldn't get anything past Sweden, and the floodgates only opened for Portugal when they managed to sneak a deflected goal in after Hungary had had a goal disallowed. Goals can be hard to come by in this tournament and being too loose can kill you

Brilliant punditry by Lee Dixon when he said that Ronaldo wouldn't mind the German pressure as he would be waiting to catch them on the break, 2 minutes before he did it
Thinking about all the different permutations makes my head hurt 🤭 I have no idea who I want to win this game
I just don't want Portugal to win, or it'll make it reasonably certain them and France will finish top 2.
Draw or a Germany win opens it up a bit more.
I think Portugal will win though.
On the other hand it would mean that Germany have to beat Hungary to avoid coming 4th! And even then 3 points might not be enough to go through. Similarly Hungary would need to win that game as well to get 4 points
This is why Ronaldo is the GOAT... always turns up
36 years old. That's his 44th goal of the season for club and country!
The bloke is just incredible. 36 years old very few injuries throughout a long career. I sublime athlete undoubtedly. Still something about him that just annoys me lol

France qualifying in 3rd could mean France v Belgium, the winner playing Italy....
Braindead tackle giving away a freekick. Then wrestling in the box to give away a penalty with the last kick of the match...

Exactly !
Hardly comparable to our 2 home games.
