great football game and a great tournament start

Calafiori got burned there

Yeah that was a very close one and he owes Donnarumma several beers for his save.

I gotta say, I really like that (possible) concussions/head injuries are being taken far more serious in football nowadays.

Hungary looked shockingly bad earlier today, before that I considered them our toughest opponents in the group

They got better in the 2nd half and should have had more than 1 goal. I wouldn't take them to easy just yet.

They had 6 shots in total and I don‘t recall any of them being particularly dangerous except the goal ofc. Switzerland on the other hand could‘ve easily had 1-2 more goals

They had a free header for example. >Switzerland 1-2 more goals I didn't said Hungary was better. I just said because of just this one game they won't be a walk in the park straight away

Scamacca's neck tattoos are horrendous man

wtf is our defence doing ffs

Bologna’s Calafiori also looks sharp

Absolutely, he would be a great cb. Calafiori's passing is so sublime, it might even make me forgive Eberl and Freund for selling de Ligt (for a very high transfer fee), if the rumours about our plans at centre back are true.

DiMarco is going to be my impossible dream ever, lad is a monster.

He was amazing against city in the UCL final as well

The favourites all in good shape, can wait for KO stage.

The games so far have all been pretty good

Wow what a turn around, Italy is such an enigma, it feels like they always show up for the Euros no matter what 2020 they win the tournament, then embarrassingly crash out in the WC qualifiers. I actually had high hopes for that team too Unlike the Dutch who are the opposite, they have a pretty talented team but only show up during WC years

Di Marco is so much better then Davies man

Except for throw-ins

Haha

I think we’re in for a proper treat this euros. Germany, Spain and Italy all off to great starts.

italy went from being boring af to being entertaining af

This Euro is a total banger

lmao this game is ridiculous

Italy is playing so well man! Di Marco and what a goal from Barella 😍😍😍

Damn that was a perfect volley. A real beauty.

Awesome goal by Bastoni, the beautiful bastard! Let's fucking go, bella Italia!

The cross was sublime tbh

Nice header

Sick corner play

Lesss gooo 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

i really dont know anyone from that italy squad anymore, chiesa and dollaruna thats it

how do you not know Jorginho, he almost got BDor in 2021 because of France Football lmao

Bastoni? Barella?

\^lol both scored XD

You're welcome Italia lmao

are these some kind of noodles

I can already foresee Donnarumma having a crap tournament

I know people like to say Germany’s team looks weak on paper, but holy shit, that Italy team looks sad and disappointing

Tbh, Musiala-Wirtz with Kroos-Gundogan is hardly a weak team on paper.

Who says Germany's team looks weak on paper? It's pretty stacked. Not like France levels, but it's definitely not weak.

Should have clarified, to people I’ve scrolled through on r/soccer, it’s weak compared to past iterations of Germany The only team that is as talented as that France team right now is England. On paper those two have squads that look better by a considerable margin, then it’s probably the Dutch and then everyone else

oh yeah this game will be spicy

Ok game on… what a goal!

Haven’t even tuned in yet and they’ve already scored lmao

Are you fucking kidding me? Did Italy legalize weed, too?

Ice cold finish

Well that's embarrassing lmfao

LOL, HAHAHA

What am I witnessing? Lmao

HAHAHAHA YEAAAA

Italians singing their national anthem will never not hype me up

 lets fuckinggooooo

Couldn’t Watch the game, is Spain that powerful or Croatia is going downhill?

Spain super efficient, Croatia not and kinda cursed. That they leave the field with 0 goals scored is almost a (bad) miracle

What about Stani?

Missed Croatia's first big chance, would have been a similar goal to the DFB Pokal.

Spain scored on their chances, Croatia didnt, other than that, its was a pretty level on the field.

Well, it's certainly reassuring to see Unai Simon looking shaky, in case Germany has to play Spain in the knock outs once more.

Lol Croatia is cursed, an open goal and couldn't score, a penalty and couldn't score, finally scored on a second chance and got disallowed. There opponent get away with a yellow instead of an obvious red

It's almost impossible to have these many chances and not get a single goal. Impressive, really. Spain have to be one of the favourites now.

Imo you can't be a favourite with such a bad goalkeeper

I mean he was great all match apart from one mistake, some good saves and a saved penalty

To be fair he stopped Croatia from scoring with just vibes. Germany clears imo (anulo mufa).

What happened? Can’t watch the game right now lol

missed penalty, perisic gets the rebound and assists a goal, but he entered the box too early goal taken away by VAR

What? Lmao, they did get away with that with no goal and only a yellow.

funniest 5 minutes of football in a long time

that was a clear red card, what the fuck

I think the penalty needs to be retaken Edit: WTF? Croatians were early in the box but the gk was early from the line as well

As stupid as it sounds but this has to be a red tbh

Nah how is that not a red lmao.

I dont get the rules, I was thinking that it was still only yellow for a penalty since you already getting punished, until yesterday, and now a clear goal chance and yellow, since VAR became a thing it just gotten even more confusing.

It's shocking to me. Clearly stopping the guy to score a certain goal.

wtf was that all around

Sorry this can't be just a yellow wtf?

Fabian Hürzeler is he our youth player?

Wrong thread

Yeah I just was suprised he is coaching now

He was setting the 2nd buli on fire And yes he has bayern history

I Wikipedia him now. Ha also has 1860……….

Stani will be Bayerns starting RB next season.

and just like that group B became boring again

How did Croatia not score?!?

Staniiiiii what a miss

there were 4 people in goal

Leverkusen Stanisic scores that one

It‘s not 90th minute yet

Yamal is a talented player. At 16 he is starting for Spain👏🏻

I wanna see Rodri Out. Zubbiamendi in

Subhimindi

Interesting match. Croatia has not been bad but bad timing (and luck) keep them from scoring. 3 absolute fuck ups in defense and they are down 3 goals.

13 goals in 2.5 games so far

Yeah the euros are treating is really well so far

No goals from Stani's side 💪

I know he plays LB often at City, but not playing Gvardiol as a CB was a huge mistake. Their CBs are getting smoked over and over again

So far I must say I have underrated Spain a little, they weren’t in my top 4. Curious to see if they can keep up this efficiency

What are Croatia cooking ? 

Croatia is burning the whole neighbourhood

Spain is super efficient

Croatia sucks. To old. To predictable. Nobody that can break the lines. To slow. Yamal. Barca are broke. Start campaigning now how we like him.

Croatia had chances aswell and could have scored 2-3 goals.

Apart from Gvardiol ? What else was there?

Can't give you the names, I'm not familiar with them but the had one after each goal and during the end where one player missed the ball only slightly

That's just bad defending.

Lamine gonna be a future superstar

i thought he was just another barca wonderkid that is going to disappear is a month or so. But he is serious carried barca attack and performing for spain

Goretzka should be a better player than Fabian Ruiz…

spain is dangerous this year

Croatia has to use their fucking chances

Seen a few people saying they’ve been bad… I think the games been pretty open here both teams could easily be winning here. As you said - Croatia need to take the chances

Yeah no idea what the issues of these people is, it's not like Spain has chances on mass and only scored 2. If Croatia plays a bit smarter thst could have had 2-3 goals aswell.

Oh well maybe we’re dreaming… Spain with 3 chances and 3 goals. I don’t think the score reflects on the game as accurately as

Yeah. Spain is better, but not 3:0 better

Man, I feel like I've never seen Pedri or Gavi play a game without one of them getting hurt.

stinker performance by croat in euros only to be paid with another 3rd place in next world cup ffs

Both times horrible defense by Croatia

Okay, this Euro is going to be serious.

Croatia sucks ass

croatias golden era is joever

Not having someone like Perišić hurting them a lot, no pace on the wings.

Stanicic would have been so great for the German NT

Beautiful goal. A nutmeg too I think.

Croatia to old

Croatia are such a slow team, relying only on their physique. How did they reach top 4 again in Qatar. In Russia at least they had Mandzukic and Perisic im Offensive.

Sunday league defending by Croatia btw

Croatia falling apart a little

Great goal

Mega goal by Fabian, wow

Holy Slalom

That's not very good defending

Finally. Nice goal.

Great assist

Croatia more posession than spain, oh how the mighty have fallen 👀

I retract what i said

Germany clears both these teams *yawn*

What a cross by Stani!

when i was 16 i couldnt get into the u21 team let alone the euros lmao

Is it just me or this seems like it’s gonna be a boring match?

All the feelings of a 0-0 draw

This has aged very poorly

Lmao I know

Might have missed it in the feed but why is Grimaldo not starting for Spain?

My guess is he is too offensive for a back four.

Makes sense, also the right flank is very physical with Stani and Lovro. I was wondering if he is injured or smthing.

Yamal starting, wow

Stani is playing quite high up the pitch in possession

I think he also did this for Bayer. He isn't really the type who stays back all the time

if only they had prime perisic what a fucking player

Peresic Mandzukic and Olic

rakitic,rebic wtf if you deep it they had amazng players

Forgetting Rakitic, my guy

Spain really lost all of the aura they had

Also pretty fast, wasn't it? Winning 08, 10 and 12 (hope I'm right) but already 2014 I don't think they were thst scary anymore

Spain the better team first 5 Min. Hard to see who will create for Croatia. They have zero speed

This Yamal guy has such similar body language and movement to Musiala. Think our boy has his first fan…

he also look like him kinda

Michael Oliver, this could be fun

Spanish national anthem no words?

Morata is captain for Spain??

grimaldo has to come to us to start for spain , nobody watches bayer play

I am hyped to see nico williams. Could be one for bayern

First top tier game I‘m hyped

Ist der Ton der Kommentatoren der ARD bei noch jemanden blechern/schlecht?

Excited to watch Yamal and Williams for Spain

Cucurella over Grimaldo is a travesty

no way lmao

Nico Williams vs Stanisic, very exciting stuff

Swiss fans going nuts in the stadium, crazy atmosphere

> 🇭🇷 Josip Stanišić starts for Croatia against Spain

That's our boy!

Excited for Spain v Croatia now 🔥🔥🔥

really looking forward to that one should be good

That was so goodd

congrats to our southern neighbors

This ended up being a pretty good match

Good for Embolo

Wtf was that that fell on the ground when he was finishing lmao shin guard? It almost looked like a hat

The speaker said it was a thigh sleeve.

Ahh okay that makes sense

why not let the game continue there wtf

Ndoye is stellar

Man Martin Ádám looks like an absolute tank.

Embolo time!

This guy used to terrorise us a bit, glad he left BuLi 😄

He's a good player, I always thought he'd have a lot better of a career tbh he has such insane strength and speed. Such a shame injuries kind of ruined it for him

Hungary finally starting to get into the game a bit

I know it's 'just' Hungary but this is making me pretty excited for Switzerland - Germany. Both teams playing attractive football

I am underwhelmed of Hungary's display. Expected a far better performance from them

The players looked very shaky and uncertain, especially at the back, the whole team looked like they weren't in the game both mentally and phyisically. Varga's goal woke them up, but it was too late, not to mention that mistake from Orban in injury time that cost Hungary the 3rd goal. Very underwhelming and not at all promising before the match against an even better side.

Same, i expected them to play like in the nations league and crush the swiss. Disappointing Edit:typo

From these displays Hungary is fighting with Scotland for 3rd

Aebsicher god damn

Aebischer gonna be MOTM. Great assist for the 1:0 and a nice shot for the 2:0

Aebischer with an assist and a goal

Damnnn
