Ol' Donie

Has to be more goals in the Czech game

Mr.Nice Guy

Think I'll switch over to the Czech/Turkey game to see if the Czechs can save themselves in the last 30 minutes.

Mr.Nice Guy

Turkey goal.

Bye, bye Czechs.

murpho999

Great Turkey goal! Changes everything.

Bloody horrible. To nick that old saying; it's like an explosion in a paint factory.

Cracking finish

namloc1980

Turkey need 2 more to go ahead of the Nordies.

citytillidie

Albania now ranked 4th with 2 games to go

Mr.Nice Guy

I've seen people complaining about the format and third-placed teams progressing but I'm finding this exciting.

They don't need to, they are now level with Albania.

It's good stuff, as 1 goal can impact on so many.

The World Cup used to be like this.

I'm finding it incredibly difficult to keep up but I agree, it's more exciting!

LuckyGent88

Emre mor certainly lived up to his hype this evening anyway. Such a bright future

Soft pen for Spain

Kobe248

Bit teams always get the calls

Joke

GreNoLi

Never a peno, joke.

DarraghF197

That's so harsh.

JustTheOne

Joke.

BorneTobyWilde

Did they even show the replay for Croatia's penalty appeal ?

That pen for Spainy was softy/

murpho999

Missed pen...bloody hell.

Lackey

That wasn't a peno .... Great save !

sligeach

Justice done. It was never a penalty. And Ramos missing is the cherry on top.

citytillidie

Keeper was so far out there

Johner

What on earth is Ramos taking a penalty? I said that before he took it as well, joke that a centre half is taking it.

Kobe248

I have got to stop saying players wont miss

First I did Ronaldo

Now I ****ed over Ramos

Agent Coulson

great save

BorneTobyWilde

Great goodkeeping to stand big and not to commit .
I always like that /

Dirty Dingus McGee

Delighted for Ramos.

What the **** was he taking the penalty for.

What a tool.

GreNoLi

Haha, Srna knew he would go down the middle and told the goalkeeper accordingly.

Ol' Donie

If we don't win the Euros, I hope Croatia do.

Yes they have shown the Croatian pen claim again on ITV

titan18

Makes me even wonder what the 5th official is doing as keeper was a mile off his line

They could still be kncoked out if Ireland or Sweden win AND Portugal and Iceland gain a point or Austria win and Portugal avoid defeat.

They're ahead of Albania on goals scored. May not be enough to go through though.

AllGunsBlazing

Keeper was nearly on the penalty spot himself when it was struck. Justice though.

DDC1990

Part of the reasons team argue and surround the referees after penalties, is to give the relevant coaches time to check the stats on where penalties are put. Srna did the arguing there and took the yellow as captain before passing on the information from the coach to the keeper.

Nicely done Croatia.

sligeach

Take your point Rakitic and the goals will look after themselves. :pac:

Pudsy33

The North through now with Turkey winning?

Dick phelan

It annoys me how keepers going miles off the line rarely get's called, pen should have been retaken.

Yeah unless they win by four, then Turkey qualify.

In fairness all professional footballers should be capable of scoring from 12 yards. But I am delighted for Senor Ramos

It's looking good for them.

I say he was more upset that Spain got that pen when there had one that was more cleat cut not given

Was it not written into the new laws about keepers coming off the line it is to be retaken

Even so it was a terrible pen and he hit straight at him.

Irish_rat

Best game so far IMO, quality football on both sides

Mr.Nice Guy

Nearly 3-0 to Turkey. Would have been a nervy finish for NI fans.

Mr.Nice Guy

A Croatian winner might benefit us as the Italians would know they have a date with the Spanish awaiting them. It might demoralise them a bit. (Yeah I'm grasping at straws)

namloc1980

Italy vs Croatia in the last 16 will be tasty.

Make that Spain v Italy!
