Euro 2020(1)

[Malenko]

Spanish commentator trying to explain how Cristiano Ronaldo missed that easy chance because Bruno Fernandes was moving behind him.

[Baddar]

I've just enjoyed people giving Derek Rae shit for being "awful" and "wrong" with pronunciations despite being more accurate than other commentators, even if it's not how we're used to hearing them.

[Baddar]

Been very stop/start this one.

[The Kraig]

This definitely deserves best atmosphere so far. Mental. The game itself feels like a Europa League qualifier or something.

I have a feeling a screecher is going to go in and suddenly light this match on fire.

[Benjamin]

Very restless game here.

It's nice seeing Bruno in a Portugal jersey, he really is fucking excellent. A shame he plays for the devil at club level

Derek Rae is really great at making sure he pronounces the names every player correctly. Heard a story about him calling embassies before to make sure he's got the right pronunciation, extremely professional stuff.

But my dude has pronounced Budapest incorrectly multiple times. Can't win em all.

How is he pronouncing it?

[Baddar]

Schmootabescht.

[Gorka]

He's following the 19th century style guide and pronouncing the word hyphen in Buda-Pest

[The Kraig]

Pretty sure someone said Bucharest earlier, but I didn't know the context.

Last night's 0-0 was way more entertaining than tonight's.

[Chris2K]

Oh come on, don't give so many people joy just to take it away. Put the flag up when you know it's offside.

He's saying it like "Pest" instead of the proper "peshed".

It's subtle but I picked up on it only because he's so good with every other pronunciation. Just found it funny.

[Malenko]

I'm pretty sure Fernando Santos is the most boring manager in the euros. Playing against a team with 5 shots and 30% possession in 85 minutes and still keeps a back four + 2 defensive mids the whole game.

[Chris2K]

John Hartson, who once deliberately kicked someone in the head during a training session, is bemoaning Nego having an emotional response to a goal being disallowed.

 

And now this has happened. Boo. Horrible goal to concede.

[Gorka]

Oh there's a sucker punch after the Hungary celebrations

[The Kraig]

Lame.

[gunnar hendershow]

That's deflating

[Chris2K]

Oh good, Ronaldo gets a penalty to pad his stats.

If that's a penalty, it's a red card surely?

[gunnar hendershow]

If he didn't grab the arm he probably would've had the same result without the penalty.

Not if the ref deemed the player was trying to win the ball.

[The Kraig]

Just realised who Ronaldo reminds me of.
