Euro 2016 - The Football Thread

Clear handball, not much to dispute

ForeverAddickted

A very soft handball type penalty but handball it was... As my other half even said, what were his arms doing where they were?

I wish Deschamps would visit the dentist. The queen mother had cleaner teeth than him.

Bastion Schweinsteiger leading with his hand stopping the ball going towards the goal. Definite penalty.

Why is his hand there? He's virtually punched it off of Evra's head. Shearers being an idiot in the pundit box claiming it has to be deliberate.

ricky_otto

Clear penalty. No need for him to have his arms up.

1StevieG

Keown talking out his arse as per usual questioning how the ref has seen the penalty. It's his job you twonk.

Are you sure she was talking about the game and not the person who's hiding behind your sofa?

Pierre Littbarski. Machine!

Every time I see that Schumacher/Battiston foul I still can't believe it's not a penalty and a sending off.

And 6 months in prison for GBH!

How could the ref not see it? Crazy!!

North Lower Neil

Never seen the rest of that game, only the foul.

Great equaliser!!

Giroud should have done a lot better there.

French pressing more now. About time.

ricky_otto

I can't understand why teams don't target Evra - weak link in the French team.

And as I say that he defends really well.

Well actually they are still not really pressing the player with the ball.

Germany 7/1 to win the game now. Worth a punt.

Dazzler21

Come on France!

Germans need a proper centre forward on. Muller is wasted up there against a tight defence.

Wasn't a foul. Went for goal kick.

Double that now!

Nuer wtf

North Lower Neil

That's that, then!!

sam3110

Neuer fucked that up

1StevieG

German meltdown.

killerandflash

Shocking defending by Germany there

sam3110

Why would you play with 2 midfielders as strikers when you have Gomez and Podolski on the bench? Gotze is out of favour at Bayern and Muller hasn't scored in the Euros in his career.
