    Can’t believe how brazen that was throwing him back on the field to sit down while Austria were attacking lol

    I’d have booked Deschamps as well
    But what was the booking actually for? If it was for sitting down, then where's the rule against that? Ref didn't have to stop the game. Just let him sit there if he wants to.

    If it was for entering the field without permission then wasn't that a sending off offence back in the day?
    Going back onto the pitch without permission.

    Has only ever been a yellow.
    Really? Bloke I was playing against once got sent off for it!

    I wasn't complaining.

    Calling the ref a c**t as he sauntered on didn't help I heard.

    Will be interesting to see if Mbappe misses many games, you'd imagine the next one at the least.

    Given France's game is based quite strongly on trying to get Mbappe the ball on quick breaks....

    Unless he's concussed no need to miss a game, just wear an AMB style mask

    Is that Dean Cilocek (not sure of the spelling) who used to live in Thailand 5th from the left? 
    Got to admit it looks like him, but don't think it is

    Romania looked very good, didn't see any other games yesterday.

    Thought Austria looked good too, could be a tough 3rd place team in that France/Netherlands/Austria group.

    there are a lot of decent teams this time round .. as you say, Romania, Austria looked good v France and so far the former Yugoslav and Czechoslovakia outfits have all played well .. England need to beware as the standard is very high and there will be (cliché time) NO easy games

    I’m quite enjoying the Euros, but England have very little chance of winning it. We can’t maintain momentum, a bit like Charlton over the last few years. They play well for 20 mins, score a goal, and then seem to get forced back, and can’t maintain control or possession. It’s a shame. Not sure what they can do about that.

    Georgia 4/1 against Turkey today feels a bit of value, Turkey aren't that good really and Georgia beat Greece to qualify (pens), any thoughts ?

    Just about recovered from Sunday nights events between England and Serbia.

    Think it’s been fairly well documented in the press, but the organisation getting to and from the Schalke stadium in Gelsenkirchen was an absolute nightmare. The only real transport disaster I’ve seen so far, but it really was a biblical cock-up.

    Impressive stadium once you get inside, and England made plenty of noise.

    Depends on if Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (yes I had to Google the spelling) turns up and can drag them along by himself a la Bale for Wales.

    I'm deliberately not working hard in protest of the lack of a 2pm game.
  • Leaks in the roof in the stadium and Georgia and Turkey fans fighting inside the ground. Games not even kicked off yet. This could be interesting.

    Wow... What an unfortunate miss for Turkey...
