Euro 2016 tournament thread

Wales got put out by the first decent side they faced imo.


And this overachievment is only so exaggerated because of massive underachievement.

Largely agree (not even sure Portugal are a good side though), yet think they're completely justified in celebrating reaching the semis.

Unrelated note, France's penalty was never a penalty, lest we get into the 'deliberate' handball debate again.

Celebration is fine, lets not go full Arsenal though.

Surely unnatural position of hands comes into play here fam?

I can't quite tell, are you saying Ozil played well?

Thats why it was given yeah.

I'd argue that thats not an unnatural position though. Players hands come up like that virtually every time they challenge for the ball in the air, its how you generate momentum and used as justification for people elbowing each other in the face all the time.

Piss off, it's a penalty, otherwise we might as well just start playing volleyball in the box

No, but you're "deliberate" handball debate is extremely boring. If it hit him from two yards out and his hand is in a natural position than fair enough, but his own fault for having his hands up there.

Well then like I said we might as well start playing volleyball in the box

If you're challenging for the ball with your hands up in the air, you are deliberately holding them there knowing a ball can hit them, no matter whether it's to gain momentum or not.

Suarez was only protecting his face against Ghana tbf

Ze Germans are missing from this final. Best team of the tournament imo.
