Euro 2016 - Group Stage thread

Peach of a cross by Kroos as Mustafi heads the Germans in front

I backed them -1 at 7/4 on your advice

Neuer’s white socks and white shorts are very off putting.

Pyatov has never filled me with confidence as a keeper. A complete flapper with no presence. Doesn’t say much for the other Ukrainian keepers when thus lad has been first choice for years.

Speaking of keepers, Neuer has just made his second fine stop of the game

Neuer has made two great stops

We did the cunts.

Kroos is playing great stuff here

Khedira the donkey. If Germany want to win the Euros they will need Emre Can in the side ahead of him

Ukraine really battering Neuer’s goal here now.

Ukrainians very unlucky in that passage of play, should be level.

Ukraine have one ruled off for offside. German defence has coughed up 4 decent chances to a workmanlike Ukraine side. Defensive injuries may come back to haunt than as the tournament progresses

Don’t know how he sorted his feet out

Someone needs to make a GIF of that Muller shambles there.

Serious pressure been applied by Ukraine.

Half time can’t come quick enough for the Germans.

There are no great teams in this.

Germany, Italy and Spain notably weaker than the last Euros.

France and England a bit better, no Dutch.

Belgians, Portuguese and Croats are in the mix but have no real pedigree in international football.

I was very pessimistic about Italy’s chance but after seeing the competition I fancy our chances, there are no great sides there.

Draxler has wonderful quick feet

+1

The fears about the extra teams leading to dead rubbers games in the group stages hasn’t materialised really as a result of the drop in quality.

It’s shocking there’s no Dutch team in this when you think about it.
