    True, but in the recent past, we sucked against bad teams as well.

    Major tournaments in soccer are only getting better.

    I like it

    This should be a good one as well (Spain vs Croatia).

    Hopefully croatia scores before the half ends, so we can have a good 2nd half

    12 goals in less than 3 games so far, whoa

    Boat race: confirmed

    eta: Croatia's defense seems completely uninterested in defending

    Funny how the VAR controversy starts once the English referee is involved. No red card for the penalty may be in line with the rulebook but appears unfair to me. Also, not to re-start the penalty because Perisic was in the box for half a step is outrageous. The Spanish keeper wasn't on the line as well.

    Italy vs Albania looks great so far. Raining goals in this tourney.

    Everything was clean, except the penalty might of been controversial (looked like a flop to me), but nothing came out of it.

    No, he got hit on the calf and the penalty has to be re-started if the keeper doesn't have at least one leg on the line.

    Switzerland looked pretty solid. Not so sure about taking Scotland ahead of them now.

    Now that's f***ing hilarious

    As expected, Albania will have zero chance, but Italy didn't look too stable either so it sure looks like this group is Spain's to win.

    On the replay it didn't look like he was hit at all.

    Albania started off good, but Italy did what they've always done, play for the result

    Great tournament so far, looking forward to see England in action tomorrow

    True, only minimal contact and the player should've just stayed up and score the goal. Instead he went for penalty plus red card and failed big time.

    Thats it

    N no red card is the new rule, can't be punished twice on the same play. Which I think is fair
