Euro: Group B: RUS vs. DEN, FIN vs. BEL, 6/21/2021

[luiginb]

So I just learned that Russia do not considered the game finished yet and that they got 8 seconds left to play. Another scandal in the Euros one of their papers call it

I love Russia, but they do have some funny takes at time.

Their politics nowadays is basically "the world is against us", so that's where this silliness comes from.

Great game by Denmark, from Russia I just liked GK Safronov, Kuzyaev and Dzyuba, the rest of the team looked like headless chickens, and some players were way below the required level for this kind of competition (the bearded central defender and number 11, looking at you especially). I think the ref was afraid to give a red card to the bouncer looking Russian, but that was such an obvious error.

I thought Golovin & Miranchuk had their moments in the first half coming in off of Dzyuba, as well.

Was she hot

Live in the Now, asking the tough questions.

Vote LITN 2024!

Pukki and Sparv being far from best fitness level due to injury issues before the tournament really hampered our play.

That Danmark/Russia game was simply the best football I've watched in a long long time. When they scored the third goal, I officially adopted them as my second country if Polska doesn't make it. Danmark, F*** Yea!!!

Belgium have been the most impressive team thus far.

Belgium being this good is no surprise, plus they had a ridiculously easy group. The correct answer here is Italia, nobody knew they'd be this dominant heading into the R16.

Meunier saying winning this WC would be more of an accomplishment than winning the last WC.

Finland was the second worst team of the tournament but finished 17th out of 24. Therefore they can be said to have exceeded all expectations.

 

[Lepardi]

They all have much more talented players overall. Not to kick Finland in the groin, but from the top of my head the only player worth something is Pukki.

Lukas Hradecky is worth something. He was voted Bundesliga Goalkeeper of the Season in 2017-18 and he made the group stage all-star team in this tournament.

So a transplant is your best goalkeeper? Proves my point blud.

What do you mean by "a transplant"?

What do you mean by "a transplant"?

That his name doesn't sound "finnish" enough.

 

[S E P H]

That his name doesn't sound "finnish" enough.

Or that he's Slovakian?

 

[cgf]

Or that he's Slovakian?

Strange how he chose to represent the country he lived in from the age of 1 instead of Slovakia.

You should let him know he's actually slovakian, poor fella thinks he's a finn.

 

[Albatros]

Or that he's Slovakian?

What a weird logic. I suppose Poland's captain Herr Glück is "too German" for the national team as well?
