Honestly think that penalty from Zaza is the worst one I've ever seen.
Made even better by his silly run up to put the keeper off :lol:

Was that the substitute they brought on with a minute left, especially to take a penalty ? The one who ran on the spot for 5 seconds ?

I'd be telling him to walk the way home & never, ever expect a call-up again.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Good to Eidur get a run out. And an assist. Great scenes at the end between fans and players.

It had to end somewhere, hats off to Iceland, the French on the other hand look dangerous going forward but I have serious doubts about their defence being able to hold the Germans.

It's stayed in my mind for over 30 years. I remember watching it in disbelief one night after I'd got home from the youth club.

Effectively yes as far as any meaning goes. I think some of the minor nations are still persisting with it.

Well I'm still interested and looking forward to the Welsh hopefully kicking CR7's ass.

Germany v France should be a good game.

Unlike the remainers I ain't going to spit my dummy out because England decided to leave :lol:

Our football team has a rock solid, tried and tested plan for leaving football tournaments early.

None of this "Well if we EasyJet to Norway, catch the ferry to Switzerland, head out via Canada, we'll be back at Heathrow by the time they've decided what to do with the Third runway - which we're assured will be there when we need to land on it"
