So great past 2 days

England and France were pretty meh. But the Dutch made up for it.

Own Goal continues to dominate:

Very little creativity and risk taking that I saw in this England-Switzerland match. (I watched like 50 minutes of the first 90.)

That’s high level international soccer anymore. You seldom see great scoring play in these elimination games. The tactics seem to be don’t beat yourself and hope to get a goal or win in PKs.

Spain 0-1 France, now at 15’. France looks as if they have the upper hand early.

It was a nice goal, nice header. I like watching Mbappe.

 

[LionJim]

Spain 1-1 France at 22’. Yamal with a spectacular goal, an amazing strike from distance. Sixteen years old! Good grief.

2-1 Spain. Semis are usually to tight early on...kudos to both squads for getting after it early on.

Spain up 2-1

Olmo was given credit for the goal, after the fact. That was a brilliant touch, sublime.

That was a helluva shot.

Spain with a nasty moving pick on France at 89'

 

[LionJim]

Spain 2-1 France, full time. That was quite a match, dynamic from the get-go. Well done.

 

[LaJollaCreek]

Great stuff. Winner here today was lifting the Cup and that isn't changing IMO regardless of who wins tomorrow.

His passes are so precise, he moves so well, so natural.

Netherlands 1-1 England at 20’. Kane just got a pk goal off a bad studs-up challenge.

Netherlands 1-1 England at 20’. Kane just got a pk goal off a bad studs-up challenge.

It's by far the best the UK as looked. They are at least generating an attack for once.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

the 2 goals so far, plus the penalty that resulted in the PK for Kane. It's still 1-1 around the 71st minute:

 

[LionJim]

There is no VAR in the Euros? Asking for a close friend.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

England in the 90th minute!!! Wow

 

[BobPSU92]

Great footwork by Watkins.

 

[LionJim]

Great footwork by Watkins.

On the stroke of 90’, wow. Yeah nifty spin there. I wasn’t looking forward to ET.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[LionJim]

Great drama, both semifinals. Well done.

 

[BobPSU92]

Southgate puts Watkins in late. Genius.

 

[LionJim]

I thought Foden really set the tone in the first half.

 

[manatree]

On the stroke of 90’, wow. Yeah nifty spin there. I wasn’t looking forward to ET.

Hey, someone wake up the guy at the end of the bench and tell him that he needs to win the match.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Great game!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[LaJollaCreek]

You know what this means.....clearly the player Own Goal is a Spaniard.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[LaJollaCreek]

Shaw getting the nod at LB. Ballsy move to break up a back 4 with someone who has barely played this year. Hope Shaw responds well.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Spain strikes 1st a minute into the 2nd half!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Wow, England evens it up in the 73rd minute!!! Palmer had just been subbed into the match. And Spain really had been dominating, but hadn't scored a 2nd goal.

One minute after I turned on the match.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Spain in the 86 minute goes up 2-1. It was really close to being offside, but upon review the goal stood.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

England -- how did they not score on that corner in the 90th minute? Amazing stuff
