    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.
    Some?! None of us like the garlic smelling bastards.
     
      the premiership over rates our players along with the commentators. Then again our manager and some of our fans are no different. 

    I might be a tad bias towards Hungary having lived there for a few years and also desperate to live there again. 

    I love France and the French. Outside Paris, they're about the friendliest people you could ever meet - provided you're not chucking tables through their bar windows and pissing in the street. 
    Agree with that but would add I’ve never had a problem with them when visiting Paris either.
    Doesn't help that I don't particularly like the city, and every company I've ever worked for that's had an office there it's been in an especially shit part to get to - but in general I think it suffers from the same thing that a lot of big cities do - it feels too big, impersonal and it stinks as well. Much prefer Lyon, Marseille and Nice. Outside the cities, they rival the Italians as the nicest people I've ever socialised or worked with.

    The French establishment and ruling classes are awful though. I'm struggling to think of a single French politician I've liked or respected

    Morata given offside but VAR looks and says it should be a goal. 1-0

    PWR but why do they keep saying Poland are out if they lose? Why can’t they finish third by beating Sweden and Slovakia losing to Spain?

    "Just because there's contact doesn't mean it's a penalty".
    - Danny Murphy

    And for once, he's completely correct.

    Because only 4 of the 3rd place sides go through and most will be on 4 points Poland would only be on 3 if they beat Sweden

    I thought that, but from looking at the tables I can’t see how that’s the case. In our group for example, Scotland and Croatia could both finish on 2 points. Switzerland and Turkey could also draw.

    Rankings are done by head to head before goal difference. Poland lost to Slovakia. If they lose tonight, they can get maximum 3 points and Slovakia hold the head to head record over them.

    I believe it should’ve been yes. Same as the Spanish one this evening and the Dutch one the other night.

    Meanwhile back at Wembley, a considered opinion from a Charlton fan (someone on here?) 

    Warning: terrace language :D

    So the VAR decides one doesn't even warrant a second look but the other is clear and obvious enough an error to tell the referee to have a look at it.

    Cue the Cult coming on to tell us that VAR can never be wrong.

    That's a few years old and yes he does/did post on here occasionally.
    I can't recall his CL name.

    No matter how poorly Harry Kane might play at this tournament, be eternally grateful he isn't Alvaro Morata

    Spain are the one ‘big name’ team I’m not afraid of. The rest I think we lose.
