Poor *, once they got someone sent off that was always happening.
That was the biggest win ever in the European Championships, France's biggest too.

 

Just the two converted tries then, not that great really against Gibraltar is it…..

 

I got 25/1 for Giroud hat trick when he looked extremely * off his goal got disallowed. 1 more minute I reckon it’d have worked. So close.

Hilariously ruthless from him, because despite the scoreline France were almost trying to not score at times.

 

That Hungarian keepers * class

 

Congratulations to Serbia,class scenes

 

Early reports Harry Kane on the bench tonight for England. Ollie Watkins getting the Nod.

Ukraine v Italy on ViaPlay2 hopefully a decent game got a feeling it will be a tasty encounter with a few cards involved

 

Been a decent Game End/End some amount of chances despite the lack of Goals

 

Not sure why I started to worry about England winning the Euros, zero chance.

Have to say Rashford makes Sima look a right big talent.

 

Ukraine should have had a clear penalty at the end there. I really don’t understand how VAR can look at that and not give it.

Big team benefiting yet again.

 

Scraping a draw with the help of an own-goal.

 

UEFA condone Palestine flags being flown in solidarity meanwhile this * * will no doubt go unnoticed Football & Politics eh.

What the *

 

Top-flight football in Greece will be played behind closed doors for the next two months in an effort to clamp down on violence at sporting events.

The Greek government took action after a police officer was severely injured in violent clashes during a volleyball match between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos last week.

Both sides are owned by the football teams of the same name.

The measure will be in place until 12 February 2024.

It could also apply to some European home fixtures and may be extended if action is not taken, such as the installation of cameras and systems of electronic identification for fans at the stadiums, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis said.

"For years, criminals in the guise of fans have been committing serious crimes by critically injuring and killing [people]," he added.

"Neither athletes nor fans should suffer from the murderous behaviour of criminal gangs."

Hooliganism has marred Greek football in recent years and last year the government increased the maximum sentence for crimes of fan violence from six months to five years after another fatal stabbing.

Alkis Kampanos, 19, was killed in February 2022 in Thessaloniki during a fight between supporters of the city's rival clubs Aris and PAOK.

In August this year, a Greek fan was stabbed to death after violent clashes between fans that led to the Champions League qualifier between AEK Athens and Dinamo Zagreb being abandoned.

And in October, the football derby between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos was abandoned after a player was struck by a firework.

After that incident, Panathinaikos president Giannis Alafouzos said there was a 'culture of violence' in Greek football that the sport is trying to overcome.
