Euro 2020 - AH Official Thread *READ OP BEFORE POSTING*

Great turn and finish from Lukaku.

I thought they were in trouble at 1-2. The Russians were on top and pushing hard but the Danes just kept their **** together and dealt with it. Great watch and that atmosphere is unbelievably hostile.

Russia have the biggest lads out on the pitch and the tiniest one in the goals

Great evening's entertainment you'd have to say!

dmakc

If a team crowded pickford on corners like that England could really struggle

Bobblehats

Big Romelu’s in beast mode this thing. Some shtoppin’

Hullo!!

Denmark v Wales on Saturday will hopefully be a good match.

The Danes will fancy their chances, especially after tonights performance.

Great scenes in Copenhagen, I'd love them to go all the way to the final.

He is some man for a moan all the same.

He's on RTE (no idea if he is tonight, not watching tonight). The general vibe of disillusioned ex-pro doesn't understand the modern game and goes off on random tangents about things he doesn't like. Just f**k off then Ronnie.

Plenty of fresh ex-pros who could offer something interesting and relevant to say if you're not bothered anymore

I'm all in for the Danes now, and why not? They used to run Dublin when the town was run right.

So weird to be second in the group on three points.

Arghus

Happy for the Danes.

Might just get over them putting us to the sword in 2017.

So far in the completed groups there have been no draws in any of the 12 games. Or "getting a result" as I believe a draw is called nowadays.

Almost... Wales drew with Switzerland.

Def wouldn’t have got away with saying that tomorrow; England got their draw.

You’ve been watching? He laid waste to them both, Russia and all to be honest with you I’m beginnig to think they have to withdraw him from the competition he’s a beast! Something akin to throwing a male into the women’s arena.

They played Turkey far as I recall. One of their strikers is playing for Scotland.

But what's the Scandi reference about? Not Finland, obviously.

Interesting idea I've heard on how to avoid the last game effect where already qualified teams ease off the gas.

The top four 1st placed teams advance to the quarter finals.
There is a playoff round between the 5th & 6th best 1st place teams and the 6 group runners up.
No third placed teams qualify.

This gives an incentive to teams to be one of the best 1st placed teams.

Anyone else taking an almost sadistic pleasure in seeing Russia, Turkey and (hopefully) Hungary sent packing?

Yes, but not before Hungary play Germany in the Allianz Arena while it's coloured in the rainbow colours....

Sport and politics are both part of life in general. They can't be kept apart.

Yes they can.

I was almost correct if you understood what I posted. I posted that in response to the poster who was surprised that one of the groups had three teams finishing level on three points. Three points could only come from one win, or three draws.

This is all blimmin Swa-Hili to me

Great to see RTE showing the game with two already qualified teams facing off. I was worried we might have to watch Scotland v Croatia trying to survive in the competition.

Theyre just filling in for UTV, aka TV3. The home of the England national team

You can watch it in furryvision on rte news now!

Anybody know if any channel is showing the scotland game? It is on ITV4 but we can't view it there because of rights issues.

Rte news now but on saorview the quality is poor

ITV 4 showing Scotland game.

Arghus

Fair play to RTE showing the meaningless England game in full HD and the winner takes all Scotland clash on the shytier quality news now channel.

First World problems, I know.

it is the same issue with most sporting events on ITV4.

Liam Brady is missing a button on the left cuff on his jacket, maybe the highlight of the evening to see if RTE wardrobe replace it, the threads are still hanging in there.

I think Virgin block it off. Im on my own Freesat/Freeview box and just found ITV4 and can watch it no problems, there is some atmosphere in Hampden at the moment even though its not full.

Im actually in two minds of which game to watch, Scotland Croatia should be the better game but part of me wants to watch the England game in the hope the Czechs score first and the crowd gets on their back, yes Im fierce petty like that :pac:

just watch the scotland game. If you hear a massive cheer from the scottish fans for no apparent reason then you will know the czechs have scored.

Watch the Scotland v Croatia game if you can, winner goes through, loser goes out, a draw both teams go out. That rarely happens.

Czech Republic v England, both are already through regardless of tonights result.

Muahahaha

Yeah Im gonna watch the Scotland game as everything is on the line. If England or Czech score ITV will put up a split screen to show the goal anyway
