So much for summer football
Shame about the object throwing by fans
Complete idiots!
Can this Referee be cloned for the remaining matches?
Highly entertaining match!
"Portuguese Artur Soares Dias referees his third game of Euro 2024 having previously overseen the Netherlandsâ 2-1 victory over Poland and the 1-1 draw between England and Denmark in the group stage.
Dias has been perhaps the most lenient referee at the tournament so far, giving the fewest fouls per game of any of the 19 officials to have taken charge out in Germany and issuing among the fewest yellow cards (just five)."
Top man.
Good info. Thanks
Very impressed with TĂźrkiye performance. Itâs just not gone Austriaâs way but I repeat what a performance
That was a save!
I would have bet 1 Million that was going roof of net!
Well done, Turkey. They and Austria served up one of the most compelling games of the tournament so far.
Straight from the Gordon Banks goalkeeping manualâŚ
This is what I want, remember and expect from tournament football
A total pleasure to watch
A total slugfest between two teams who just wanted to have a pop at each other, with none of the usual âtâ you / tâme / and back tâyou againâ nonsense.
Aided and abetted by a referee who wasnât in the least bit interested in any dramatic pirouettes onto the green stuff, and who simply wanted the game to flow.
Net result? One of the most entertaining games so far.
Lessons to be learned?
âJust get up off the grass and get on with it, you divaâ and bollox to VAR and itâs 1 cm offside malarkey.
In the end the difference, arguably, was the two keepers. Austrian goalie probably had to do better. Turkish goalie couldnât possibly do any better. Sudden death football at its best.
We have some tasty quarter finals ahead me thinks.
Judging by the solid teams left in this tournament England will have to literally improve their game if they are to have any chance of winning the next game.
They wonât.
If they win, it will be a lucky win.
So cynical Jamie.
This whole Chelsea thing is an elaborate front. Youâre Norwich City through & through, itâs written all over youâŚ
No one watching?
