Euro 2016 - Round of Eight

“We really did give everything. Unfortunately what we’re left with is defeat and in my view nothing will remain of all the good things we did,” the Juventus defender told Rai Sport while fighting back sobs.

“All that remains is disappointment and in a few years nobody will remember anything about this Nazionale that truly gave everything.

“We really enjoyed our time together and wanted it to continue. We’re sad.”

That group of players made me love Italian football again.

I’ve watched it back a couple of times and agree if he didnt guess right etc…however he did and he was very slow getting to the floor, something which keepers should make 1st priority for a penalty (Nuer for example for the preceding pen, although a poor strike he covered the ground of the side he guessed, immediately). The final pen wasnt the best, it did have some power behind it though and the bounce was the luck really, although i think that was stoppable if he got down to the floor quick enough. Penalties as we know is a cruel way to go and the advantage is always with the strikers not the keepers. there was some shocking pens taken which was out of Buffon’s hands tbf. He is a legend, will he stay for the WC?

The Iceland keeper’s jersey is class.

On a side note, I think Belgium should move heaven and earth to get Louis Van Gaal to manage them. But I doubt they would want a Dutchman in charge

Thats an incredible conception, real outside the box

Poor from the other centre back to just be half a yard deeper there. Very simple goal to give away.

ah here, through the keepers legs

this is going to get embarrassing

“That’s an unbelievable finish.” - Ronnie Whelan

He hit it straight at the keeper and it went through his legs FFS

2-0 this is going to be a slaughter

This isn’t going to make England feel any better.

how’s Eire getting on?

Wheels are coming off for Iceland.

They’ve looked lethargic since the game began.

this is going to be a turkey shoot now, 5-0 I’d say
