WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 24 minutes ago, red card said: In the Sky video report, the reporter says eyewitnesses told him England fans were caught up in the incident but he didn't see any English fans. Other reports also said different things or reinforced it. For instance, Athletic says "Local police indicated that the incident involved fans from both England and Serbia...They also confirmed — contrary to some social media reports — that no Albanian citizens have been connected to the incident. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5568297/2024/06/16/england-serbia-fans-police/ But again, what you said Sky said is not true.

Kadenge Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Massive 3-0 win for Romania over Ukraine. Looking at the club teams for the Romanian players one has to wonder if Theo could have made it on this Romanian team. I really hope he can get consistent mins next season and is called to the CMNT.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Belgium - Slovakia starting Be interesting to see what the former #1s have left. Think they have a better coach. Also I am reminded that I respect De Bruyne's decision to change his haircut to the one I had in grade 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74 Whitecap Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Slovakia 1 - Belgium 0. It is tough to lose your tournament opener 1-0 against the run of play. I feel really bad for Belgium. Actually, not at all. Goal_Kick and RJB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihairokov Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Surprised to hear this is statisically the biggest upset in Euro history. Are the FIFA rankings that delayed? ELO has this as a 9 v 48 matchup which reflects their relative levels, IMO 74 Whitecap, narduch and TGAA_Star 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full credit to the Slovakian team though. Belgium were a bit unlucky and probably should have drawn, all things considered. They ran that second half. Hats off to the Slovaks for making the group interesting. WestHamCanadianinOxford, narduch and Kadenge 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely true, and North Macedonia weren't beating anyone when they qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) Go Czechia (and Soucek - Potato Salad King - and Coufal) beat those Ronaldo-led Portuguese (Though those Portuguese kids yelling the anthem was fun) Edit: Good game in the end. Defensive errors and letting people around your box too much killed Czechia in the end. Edited June 18 by WestHamCanadianinOxford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of reasons I always resist calls to park the bus and hope for a counter against good teams. (Despite it working for my team to a limited degree) And one of the reasons I was excited for Marsch. The hope of his system is to keep the pressure on the ball away from your defending third. Too many little things can mean goals against there. Kadenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to baseball fans - was one as a kid - but boggles my mind that that many people still watch it here. Glad the CFL gets numbers, though I haven't "done my part" for years. It was part of one my packages in England but obviously very late most of the time. Got TSN for the first time and still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
