Euro 2016: Group C - Germany v Ukraine

DubDani

Great game, IMO. Chances on both sides, dodgy defences, as expected

Clear Hearts

Boateng for me the best defender in the world

GreNoLi

Nice holley/veader by Muller.

Are you havin' a giraffe?

Harry Palmr

Their right attack now looks pretty good.

Ukraine technically very good

Unlucky not to back in this imo

keith16

Half time coming at the wrong time for Ukraine.

tree vs tree at the back apparently!

Anyway good game to watch so far.

Yes, he also does not have the word 'did' in his vocabulary and just says ' He done well"

Maybe not the best, but he is up there on the list

the early goal against defensive teams is always good for entertainment. Very good game.

Hercule Poirot

Best 45 minutes of the tournament so far

You do know if he hadn't given the ball away needlessly there'd have never been a clearance to make?

But the right time for me, bursting for the toilet

Pull it back dammit.

mansize

This is a cracking game

Great half of football or at least hugely entertaining.

Ukraine not out of it by a long shot.

Johner

Great game, Germany were impressive for the first 30 minutes but Ukraine have really come back into it well now.

Draxler and Kroos have been brilliant, Ozil and Muller poor.

Xyzforsure

The Germans are riding their luck at the moment...

Will they push on guys??

This is me ignoring your statement :P

jamesbere

Dammit housemate is home, he'll ruin the next 45 mins with his zero knowledge and when he's stuck for something to say he'll say rugby is a better game anyway.

Think I'll watch it on my laptop in my room

speckled_park

Good game, hope Ukraine score

Angron

Bloody hell, the highlights really show how well Boateng did there to keep that shot out.

I know people like that, can't stand them.

Just let people enjoy the most popular sport in the world.

Mec27

Rugby is the biggest cope sport going. Nobody cares about it, its a zero craic game.

Hopefully the Ukraine come racing out of the blocks for the 2nd half, would love them to get an early goal.

The Talking Bread

I understand the logic of TV3 having 200 adverts every half time....................but my god it is soooooooooo bloody annoying!
Although in fairness, it beats the "punditry" !

Catch 22!!


On another note, there hasn't been any outstanding adverts related to the Euros this year

Nothing really wrong with their pundits tonight, Souness is very good, but you can't judge them really if there's just ads on.

Arthur Daley

imagine those stupid Hyundai ads in a months time.

Ishmael

right in the ghoulies

GreNoLi

Aesthetically pleasing strike.

Yeah, the anchoror, Tommy Martin, is very irritating though. Always trying too hard to make a silly joke. No hard questions, just obvious questions with obvious answers!
You rarely hear a good debate on their Champ League programmes, and this is no different so far.

BorneTobyWilde

Hair jealously from the BBC commentators .

DerekDGoldfish

Shevchenko looks like he could still do a job, they should allow the assistant manager to be a 24th member of the squad.

Ukraine could bring on Shevchenko, we could bring on Roy, England could bring on Ray Lewington etc.

Hercule Poirot

I dont care what anyone says, Khedira has still got it

Ishmael

Ozil not really doing much tonight, should be subbed at this point.

Roy takes Zlatan's leg off in the first 30 seconds, takes an early bath and is adored by the nation once again

SuperTortoise

Gotze, Muller poor enough, Ozil as well.

Harry Palmr

They keep trying to walk it in.

Ally Dick

Ha ha. God help poor Norn Iron

I don't think there is much disdain towards Roy anymore to be honest! In fact a lot of people love him more since he showed his sense of humour!

murpho999

Germany dominating now. Ukraine need to change something.

namloc1980

Some effort by the keeper there!

I wasn't making fun of that, just being daft in general - I got over the Saipan thing years ago but I know some who still can't let it go

I can't help but think that if Ukraine score next that the game will level at 1-1 .

Well said Michael.

Germany are boring me to tears with their non - stop passing this half.

jamesbere

Second half not as good as first
