Two days in a row I get lunch bag let down. Yesterday England pulling it out of the fire and today Portugal. Shazbat.

Nice to see Belgium bite the dust though. Getting them and Italy out is good. Now I just need the Dutch out.

There has been some pretty crappy soccer in this tournament. Other than Spain, the big clubs are underachieving big time. Of course Germany gets Spain next unlike England who gets a bunch of softies each game.

Yeah that sucks for the loser of that. That game (Germany/Spain) could easily be the final.

Judging by their performances this tournament so far, none of the games will be easy wins for England.
 
Huge games today. Still a Holiday for me so nothing to get in the way of watching these games. Germany vs Spain. Have a feeling this is the end for Germany. True indicator today where they really are.
 
Pedri hurt already done for the day. Kroos lucky he didn’t get carded.
 
Rudiger carded. Misses next game if a next game.
 
Wow. Germany ties it up with under 2 minutes left. Looking like extra time
 
Huge goal from Wirtz. This is the lineup Nagelsmann should have started. Nerve wracking game.
 
Fuck!!!!!!!!! Germany not there
 
Nagelsmann starting lineup was a huge mistake! Wasting 45 minutes. Germany had their chances just this generation no longer ruthless. Oh to have a Klose today.
 
Fuck.

I guess I’m rooting for the Swiss and the Turks now.

Relying on Ronaldo for 90 and today 120 their downfall. Missed a late sitter. And Joao Felix. That guy never lived up to hype. The Portuguese Gio Reyna. What could have been. Disgusting France in semi-final and have yet to score a goal in field of play. Greece 2004.
 
What was tough was watching gilt edged scoring chances go for not. It was incredible. I also thought the refereeing was a bit ridiculous.
Rüdiger’s early yellow didn’t help things either.

Per my post earlier, here are the facts. Martinez should be sacked tomorrow for this reason:

Ronaldo took 23 shots in this tournament, the second most by any player failing to score in the Euros since the group stage format was introduced in 1980. His expected goals of 3.51 without finding the net are the most ever at a major men's tournament since 1980.

Germany: so long to Muller, Neuer, Kroos...probably Gundogan, Can too... should be Sane, Havertz (arrrrrrrgh).

Not start fullgrig or however it’s spelled was silly, he’s actually a number 9 and it showed. I don’t get it, havertz was a 10 and excelled at laverkuesen then Chelsea turns him into a 9 which he isn’t an Arsenal tries the same shit
 
I can’t root for a failed furniture empire and watching England loss is fun. So go Swiss, maybe Xhaka can throw up more Albanian eagles, and the stoner Dutch can get through.
