At least the double dose of Euro and Copa this summer is making up for a dreadful NBA Playoffs.

VAR called back goals is getting really annoying. The sport has enough problems scoring as it is.

The euro certainly has but the Copa has been round 3 of the nba playoffs bad imo

Scotland is so devoid of any creativity.
They have the lowest xG at the Euro's.
There have been a total of two instances of teams failing to have a shot in the first half of all Euro games and they are both Scotland.
They are going to have to brute force three points here. They don't lack for graft at least. They are running their balls off.

Still probably better than Germany, Spain, Portugal and France all ending up on the same side....
And, a non-zero chance that Croatia beats Italy - and knocks them into a different bracket as the 3rd place team

Yeah, the opening round of the Copa is normally a tough watch since it's so top heavy. You have two world class teams, a few mid levels looking to make a run and a bunch of rubbish that would never qualify for the Euros in a million years.

True story - one of those songs I always get the wrong lyrics to - Wonderful World - I always want to sing:
Don't know much about Bolivia..." in my mind.I get it wrong so often, I just assume its correct at this point...
True, but I'm going to an Italian bar to watch the game tomorrow and I really don't want to be cheering for a draw or loss just to avoid Germany. But they're the LAST team I want to play in R1.

Seems like the lineup almost everyone would prefer to see I think. Will be interested to see how the MRA midfield does on the defensive side of things and if Wes and Reyna can complement one another on the ball, but we should score goals.

Against, on paper, a weaker team, this is our best lineup (sans Dest of course).
Gio better show tonight

Ouch. Looks like an elbow to the head. Knocked out pretty much immediately. Hopefully there's no neck injury. That looked awful.

That last careless offside from SUI was massive. Gave Germany the ball for free with 3 minutes to kill

Torn between USAUSAUSA today and getting rid of GGG. But since he has a lifetime contract might as well be USAUSAUSA

Has almost certainly happened in games where there's been a serious injury. We were ahead in the 98th minute earlier this season and still lost.
Also have to love people bleating that Scotland should have had a penalty, maybe if Armstrong wasn't doing a huge pull of the shirt for no reason whatsoever then you can look at it further

Saw a still shot - looked to be a glancing elbow to the head.

Yeah, I say that as the live shot looked like Gunn had cleaned someone out with his punch clear, but two players as well as the keeper were down. They showed one replay, I'm naturally watching Gunn, and I couldn't see he actually caught anyone, so I'm still clueless.

See the post right above - looks like a glancing blow that caught him just right to knock him out.Saw a still shot - looked to be a glancing elbow to the head.

I think that shot above shows pretty clearly that he was hit - he may also have had a seizure, but its more likely to have been triggered by the hit, than randomly occurring at the same time.
My wife has epilepsy, and when she has had seizures they have all come at a lull/rest - rather than in the middle of excesses/activity - almost as though the adrenaline keeps things going, and when you "calm" down, the seizure hits. Different seizures have different triggers - but I would be surprised if the seizure happened on its own (without a head trauma of some sort).

Terrible first touch by Balogun there. I think he was onside.

I do think its a little funny that the Fox crew keep mentioning the game getting started "early" - which as near as I could tell was actually on time at 6:00.
