Pogba got a dose of karma after that smug celebration he did earlier.

He said at 3-1 or maybe even 2-1 that game was done and he'd put his career on line there, I'm sure some good soul would pull it up in due course.

he lost possession for United in the same area of the pitch more times than i care to remember. I like Pogba but those extra touches at times cause so many problems

It's the celebration, though. If he ran to the French fans with pure glee at having seemingly put his country through, everyone would say "fair play", but any player doing that "look what I've just done, only me" routine is always opening himself up to criticism.

This place has lost the plot.
Pogba is a d**k for celebrating scoring a goal and deserved to lose because of it
And Cunningham should actually be sacked over a joke comment

Cop on lads

England to bore us all to death with Southgate igniring attacking options on the bench in favour of all out defense

IMO he should do that, if it becomes a basketball match, chaotic, no structure, lots of goals like tonight etc it will suit the Germans, they play like that normally.

If England's defence holds up they're through because the Germans are a mess at the back.

Its opening up quite nicely for England.
France out. Portugal out. Holland out.
One of Italy or Belgium will be gone by the weekend.

And England can actually defend. Which an awful lot of sides at this tournament can't do.

But its Germany tomorrow.
And that will surely get into their heads.
Gonna be a fascinating game.

Brilliant tournament this. That was 6 hours of top notch entertainment this evening.

Anyone on here who knows my allegiance will realise that I've got no love at all for Pogba. But he was entitled to milk that goal; it was brilliant. But he could well end up being remembered, not for the goal, for the cheap surrender of possession that led to the late Swiss equaliser. When he's good, he's very,very good. But he does have that type of mistake in him.

England will very likely get a good side in final, I don't personally think France are much better than Belgium if it all, both very even, so it doesn't change things too much.

Not to be Graeme Souness on it but Pogba's celebration was pathetic. Imagine seeing that as a Swiss player.

Benimar

What’s this about Kenny Cunningham? He made the comment when doing co-comms on the SPAIN game! They were 5-3 up at the time.

Stephen Kelly was on co-comms for the France game.

But England have had one of the more defensive set ups in the tournament tbf.

Also, with some of the bigger teams going out the pressure of expectation will begin to build on them, personally I reckon Germany do them tomorrow night anyway. Germany not great but can keep the ball very well and I wouldn't trust England to keep them out for the 90. Not sure how England are seen as underdogs in that game either, 10 places ahead in the rankings and home advantage, assume it's to try keep the pressure off them.

The Germans at least won't **** the bed I think.

I dunno. Considering the rush of knockout football, playing for your country etc, I'd imagine that the first reaction to scoring a great goal is to lose your sh!t and run about like a headless chicken. Celebrations like Pogba's tonight just seem so cold and calculated, like he's not really grasped what he's done for his side or his country's fans, but it seems to be just a chance to showboat. It doesn't sit right with me at all. If a player with my own club did likewise I wouldn't like it either, so I'd like to think it's not a club-bias on my behalf.

Yeh exactly.

You can take the team without the ‘2 goal lead payout’ thing at odds that are a tiny bit better though.

By default you get the two goal lead thing though.

Deschamps should take a lot of the blame for that loss tonight. Tactically all over the shop first half. Only used four subs...who were anonymous for the most part. Sissoko? Did he even touch the ball in extra time? Surprised he didn't throw on someone like Ben yedder for the last five to sniff out a Giroud knock down or something.
On the other side Petkovic played a blinder. Not afraid to take the big names off for the good of the team.

Deeper Blue

Just watched the highlights of Spain Croatia there and George Hamilton's commentary was atrocious.

Barely any emotion shown for any of the goals in one of the most exciting games in recent tournament history. Awful stuff

Mr.Nice Guy

George was very lacklustre alright. Thought Des Curran did well for the evening game, particularly his commentary for the Swiss goals.

After one of the worst season's of top level football in living memory, its brilliant that international football has served up this. It's simply fantastic!

Des Curran was great - actually sounded like a fan of the sport and was excited by what he was seeing. Him and Stephen Kelly made a good, enthusiastic pairing.

Unlike Kenny Cunningham who was glad Spain didmt score 6 as a scoreline of 6 - 3 looks like a basketball score..

What football fan doesnt want goals

Bleating Lamb

Yet another pair of brilliant games in a great tournament !!
One thing I am taking from this tournament is that the strength of the Premier League might not just be as good as Sky want us to believe.
Great young players emerging as the tournament progresses from Serie A,the Bundesliga, La Liga and the Dutch League.,

Some incredible young players in the Spanish,Italian and Dutch teams to name a few sides.

Last 8?

I suspect the 1964 edition was missing a few top tier countries for some reason or other? Politics?

29 teams entered, Luxembourg got a bye to the last 16 where they knocked out the Dutch over two legs, met Denmark in the last 8 and drew twice before losing a replay.

Ireland got knocked out in the Quarter Finals of the same tournament by Spain (who hosted the Finals proper and were the eventual winners).

Des is a good commentator, knowledgeable and enthuastic.

Was a fine footballer back in his day.
