Euro 2024

Arrivederci 

[Gazz]

Could have swore El Shaarawy was about 40 and disappeared off into the Chinese Super League ether a decade ago

Edit: Plays like he is

Bangers resumed, so long Italy.

[Chris2K]

Sigh.

Well at least I won't have to worry about the potential England match. That stupid kick-off routine sums it up pretty well.

Gianluca Scamacca is the worst striker to have played international football at a major tournament.

Any time Italy loses in a tournament an angel gets its wings.

How Italy won Euro 2020 between two failures to qualify for the World Cup and their displays here is something of a marvel.

If England get through and face Switzerland, they're probably in trouble.

[Chris2K]

What a dire performance to go out on. So much improvement needed, so little chance of it happening. Any chance Italy can borrow one of the many creative attacking players England have that aren't getting used properly?

Time to start worrying if we can qualify for a World Cup for the first time in over a decade, but until then, I'll just live in the past...

Last ITV game for Clive Tyldesley.

Madness. Not his choice either, it's insane to me that there's some kind of belief that people don't want to hear older commentators.

At least he gets to work with McCoist.

[GoGo Yubari]

Cracked up at the Fox announce team bringing in Mark Clattenburg to comment on the decision to disallow the goal and he's just like "they've only shown the replay one time, I have no clue if that was a good call or not, ask me again in a couple minutes." Bang-up work, fellas.

[Kyle]

Germany look VERY up for this, unsurprisingly.

[The Kraig]

First time I'm up early enough to watch a whole game live! Is this the most competitive international football tournament? I'd say so.

[Chris2K]

Holy crap, it sounds like armageddon is starting in Dortmund.

[Kyle]

Games gone.

You did this.

[Chris2K]

The gods are angry at the decision to axe Clive Tyldesley.

I'm going to assume Roy Keane will think this decision is pathetic.

[Kyle]

The Danish fans dancing in the waterfall - game's not gone, I've changed my mind.

He's the voice of ITV football for me, and probably a lot of other people too. I also remember him as the voice of the only Championship Manager game to have voiced commentary. It was clipped and made the game run really slowly, but it was a fun thing to put on every now and then.

[gunnar hendershow]

I had made foolproof plans to go out for some lunch & wine, head home, and catch the second half. It appears Thor (or Freyr? Not a big expert here) had other plans and wanted me to watch more. Courteous.

Play football, you wimps. 🤣
