Larsson cannot cross the ball properly to save his life

 

Was just coming to say this. It’s atrocious.

 

Nope. Croatia, Germany and the Czechs are all top half of the goal scoring table as it currently stands.

I'm starting to wonder if England have worked out a novel tactic of spoiling the other team's game so much that we can pinch wins with our utter lack of style. Everyone we've played has looked pretty poor, but have had good results elsewhere (aside of the Scottish).

Was surprised how much we calmly held onto the game tonight. The real nail biter came from a pretty bad mistake. Otherwise we offered up very little.

 

Also came to say this.

 

Ukraine-Sweden has next to no online chatter (especially compared to yesterday’s explosion), but 1-1 in the 60’ and I’ve seen a few espn notes saying posts makes me think it might be a better game than I’d gather from Twitter

 

It's been entertaining for me

 

Ukraine-Netherlands was one of the best matches of the group stage.

Sweden winning the group over Spain really stacked the other half of the bracket.

 

Never knew Forsberg was this good. He loves a screamer.

 

Has Forsberg always been this good?

 

I so wish that had gone in. What a strike

 

I have it on good authority that Forsberg's nickname is Foppa. No idea what it means, like.

 

Yes. He had a phase where he wasn't first choice but generally yes.

 

Thats not even a foul...

 

Ukraine player comes too late, Swedish player gets red...

 

as bad as that picture is haha it wasn't a red

 

show the whole situation, not some stupid still frame

 

Why is that poor Ukrainian walking around the pitch? Surely there's stretchers at Hampden? Or did they spend their funds on Irn-Bru?

 

The second half and extra time have not been nearly as compelling as the first half. Red card only made it worse.

 

I do not see a problem with spending funds this way

 

Omg. What a miss. Luckily he was offside...

 

WOOOOOWWWWW

 

Unreal

 

That ball in was incredible. Just a peach.

 

Zinchenko is pretty good huh
