Beginning to wonder who was in charge of security for this tournament

 

Beginning to wonder if anyone was in charge of security for this tournament.

A country on a high state of terror alert and folk can walk into a stadium with fire crackers and flares?  Very disturbing IMHO.

To be fair, they were only checking the brown-faced people.

Sad but probably true.

 

Austria - Hungary, sounds like a country Hungary just took the lead and Dragovic got sent off for a clumsy second yellow. From what i've seen, much like their empire, Austria looked the stronger of the two but that sending off has changed everything.

Id say that Hungarian goal is the 'goal of the tournament' so far

It was a brilliant goal.  Entertaining game from the 40 mins I saw. Both teams could have scored plenty more but the quality wasn't there.

Good performance from Iceland last night.  Ronaldo shows himself to be a classless prick as usual.

 

I did laugh at this though:

Former Aberdeen defender Kari Arnason today slated Portugal’s three time Balon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo as a ‘sore loser’ who ‘fannies about and dives around’.

Good performance from Arneson last night. Always thought he was a class centre half. Very lazy centre midfielder who spent too much time holding onto the ball, but would welcome him back in place of Taylor. Clearly likes the dons.

A few of us went to see Leyton Orient - Rotherham a few years back and sung him his song after the game, he absolutely loved it!

 

Milsom on the other hand, shat it. 

Paddy Power offering new customers enhanced odds of 16/1 on Wales victory today. Max bet £10.

Terrible second goal for Wales to concede.  Whatever Coleman said at half time, it didn't work!  Fucking shat it!

Mcginniesta scores for ni. On yourself son

Brilliant stuff. He played well when he was on, but it is absolutely clear that NI's tactics don't really suit him, hence his time on the bench.

 

Germany - Poland has been a massive let down. Thought that could have been a cracker.

I've actually left the pub, it was so poor and dull.

 

Chuffed to bits for McGinn, was happy with his performance. Shame he doesn't get more game time. Josher did well with the original assist too.

Says a lot that Hewedes has been one of Germany's better attacking players.

 

Absolute shiter of a game.

Be interested to see if Lafferty is recalled for the Germany game. Still have no idea why anyone rates him

Well he did pretty much get the goals to get them there. I don't rate him either but he did the job for them.  David Healy was on 5live this morning saying he thought based on this tournament so far he shouldn't be playing. O'Neil only made the call yesterday morning, fair play to him, worked out a treat!

Is that the first Aberdeen player to score at a finals since strachan in 86?

 

Edit.

Strachan wasn't even an don then.

Think he's the first Don to score?

 

Mad final 15 minutes of the Croatia - Czech game, czechs looked completely out of it but managed to get a draw after scoring a last minute penalty. Croatia are gonna get a serious fine for their fans though. Chucked about 10 flares onto the pitch, fought amongst themselves and then chucked a fire cracker onto the pitch which a steward stupidly tried to pick up, it obviously blew up in his hand.

Fucking bottling Croatian pricks.

Today's treble of Italy, Croatia & Spain was looking good until these pricks threw it away.

What, ever?  Can anyone confirm or repute this?

It was fucked up Manc.  I was pleased to not notice any hassle at the germany poland game, that had powderkeg written all over it!

I read that on twitter and haven't been bothered to check! So it's definitely not certain.

Interesting reasons behind the Croat crowd trouble.

 

I've got tickets for Portugal vs Hungary. Hopefully no trouble there!

Bilic said as much after the game. Considering he was the Croatian manager it would seem that he should have some idea of it all. Changes the perception of everything though. Yes they were scum bags that did it, but clearly, they did it for the right reasons. What better way to try and force their hand?

Ireland pumped 3-0 by Belgium who finally clicked. Even lukaku scored two goals!
