EUROS FINAL. FT: ENGLAND 1 - 2 SPAIN

SATURDAY 22nd JUNE

GEORGIA v CZECHIA. 2pm

TURKEY v PORTUGAL. 5pm

BELGIUM v ROMANIA. 8pm

So I finally saw a game, it ended 0-0 and was ruined by VAR/PL referees.

So true, I'm enjoying this tournament more than I thought I would, teams are attacking more than I expected and, generally speaking, the fans have been great. The VAR system being so effective and efficient has also helped greatly, but then we get the English "how can we disallow this goal?" mentality involved and it's like watching the Premier League again - the outcome is what I'm pretty sure is the first 0-0 draw of the tournament courtesy of a ridiculous decision by the VAR official.

One other thought on last night's game, England have been getting a lot of stick for their uninspiring performances so far, but, France, with just an own goal scored in their first two games, are hardly looking like tournament favourites.

English VAR.... follows the narrative perfectly.

Both footed. Electric pace. A brilliant crosser. Threads the ball behind the lines with perfect weight when he plays from deep. Dribbling skills that must be close to the best on the planet. Can header the ball like a bullet. Deadly from free kicks. He can hammer the shot from distance with either foot. 15 goals in 30 international games, in a relatively poor international team. 6 foot tall, strong as an ox and he works hard to track back and tackle. For me, the complete attacking player.

This boy will light up this group for sure. If you ain’t seen him before, crack open a beer, order your favourite take-away, and enjoy the personal performance of a generational talent. This man is a class act. He is “The Tits”.

The cheating little shite, the Czech player never touched him

Georgia a goal up against the run of play via a correctly awarded penalty

Not sure against the run of play......terrific end to end...1-1 now....Georgia should have scored twice further this half.....what a difference to watching England....or France for that matter....This is a really enjoyable game.

Yawn. Petulant, grouchy little tit aren’t you? Selected your username well. How apt.

Don’t worry, there is a nice bit of news coming. I’ll play the same game and come back and remind you when it happens - often.

Should give me an occasional giggle but it will be very cringey for you 😂 Unlike you, Keyser has the patience of a saint, plays the long game, and I shall enjoy it.

Turkey just scored the goal of the tournament so far.

Maybe it's an age thing cos this is a sentiment that would baffle my younger self but it feels like there's too much all at once. It's like having ice cream for every meal. Are people watching it all and happy to do so?

I think 'AQM' was being sarcastic.

Maybe he’s one of these players who need better players around him ?!

He hasn’t set the world alight at the Euros, as the original poster of this player was suggesting.

He might be a world beater, but he ain’t shown it YET !

I heard he might be heading to PSG to fill the vacant spot on the left after Mbappe's move to Real Madrid. There could also be some Premier League interest, as he wants to continue in Champions League.
