2024 Summer of Soccer - Euro's, Copa America, Olympics, WCQing (1 Viewer)

[heckmanm]

Goals have dried up incredibly in the 3rd game of the Euro's. Every one is playing so tight to just hope to move on.

Only 13 goals scored, so far, across 12 games (2 games still have second halves to play). And 5 of the 13 came in a single game.

THERE'S ONE!

Ronaldo with a Draymond-esque performance today, send him off already

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Tough situation for the goalkeeper there.

 

[The Gator]

This can’t be a PK

 

[Deamon]

This can’t be a PK

oh it is

 

[Deamon]

WILD....

 

[The Gator]

oh it is

Nice to see diving works for some.

 

[Moe.]

That is so soft - if he grazed him it had absolutely zero impact on anything. That’s so bad

Exactly. Just because there was slight contact doesn’t mean it’s a PK. Didn’t impede him, then he fell over because there was another defender getting the ball.

CZE/TUR getting away from the ref

meanwhile, Portugal playing with fire, and look more likely to get a man sent off than score right now...

Portugal is locked in no?

Yeah - they have won their group no matter the outcome here.

But, losing players to suspensions would be bad for their future involvement...

Are we sure Portugal even wants CR7 available?

 

[NewlyRetired]

there are so many teams that have base colors of red and white...

I have the split screen going, and audio on the Cz v Tur match. Every time I look over at the other match, I see CR7 with his hands in the air looking dismayed.

He absolutely should not be starting.

Stagnant up top, and crying after every play in the box.

 

[Desert_Power]

A Brett Favre reference?

 

[NewlyRetired]

[ТNT Sports] Portugal have received a yellow card for simulation in every game at the European Championships so far ​

 

[NewlyRetired]

I spent the entire day looking forward to the US game only to now realized today is Wednesday

Czechia/Turkiye ref going full Oprah with the yellow cards

Referee is allegedly Romanian, but would be at home in Concacaf

 

[Major]

Czechia/Turkiye ref going full Oprah with the yellow cards

This game has definitely ramped up a notch with Czech scoring. Had no idea they were down to 10 men

 

[The Gator]

Great catch by the Georgia keep, that was dangerous

 

[Deamon]

Does Georgia finish 2nd if turkey/czech tie?

 

[TennesseeJed]

Ian getting a little annoying about Georgia beating a Portugal side who had already clinched 1st place in the group.

 

[Deamon]

Why is Turkey ahead of Georgia in the standings as of now?????

 

[heckmanm]

this ****in ref

 

[massraider]

What a fantastic train wreck this game is.

 

[Major]

Does Georgia finish 2nd if turkey/czech tie?

yep...currently ahead on GD to my knowledge

Waiting for him to start booking randos in the stands

 

[Deamon]

yep...currently ahead on GD to my knowledge

Apparently tie breaker is head to head, not goal differential ... news to me

 

[heckmanm]

Is there stoppage time added for the time spent handling out yellows?

 

[Major]

yep...currently ahead on GD to my knowledge

I think the 3rd place finisher would advance as well if results hold. Paging Quiz Guy

 

[Desert_Power]

Just add on a full 90. Make them play until one team forfeits from lack of players.

Yes, Georgia is through no matter what if they win.

 

[McBokonon]

I just got booked for muttering at my computer when Word froze.

 

[Deamon]

Georgia could finish ahead of the Dutch, it will come down to yellow cards.

 

[gianmarco]

Wow....14 cards so far.

 

[Mjolnirs]

The second criteria:
*Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question;

Turkey beat Georgia.

Yep. Didn't know that was the tie breaker, thought it was straight goal differential.

lol those are the matchups... the copy/paste did not seem to want to pick up the country's flags.

 

[Mjolnirs]

By beating Portugal, Georgia earned an additional 2.5 million Euro for their federation.
Each team gets 1 million for a win, 1/2 for a draw, and 1.5 for each team that gets to the round of 16.
I don't know how they divide that money out, but some of it has to end up in the players' pockets.

Prize money link

jesus, England even avoided the Netherlands.

 

[QuizGuy66]

@Deamon I had all my pretty scenario posts on page 14

[Deamon]

Damn, this is pretty cool

 

[The Gator]

jesus, England even avoided the Netherlands.

It’s going to make it even better when they flame oot

 

[B Maverick]

France v Belgium seems like the only toss up. The rest feel very one team is a fave...

 

[Deamon]

I mean, the Dutch are the big winners of this crazy bracket. They come 3rd in their group, and could be favoured all the way to the Semi finals.
