The Euro 2016 Thread

Congrats to the Germans, can't argue with their record in shootouts and probably the better team on the night as well.

Buffon fluffs his chance to rescue Italy, dived over that, and couldn't get his hands back down quick enough. Germany through.

 

[Saint Helen]

At least Pelle wasn't the only one to miss for Italy

 

[Schad]

Never want to say that a keeper should save a pen, particularly a keeper as good in shootouts as Buffon. However...

Dancing around the living room!

Oh, poor Buffon

And out of the sweepstake I go

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Graziano was a dick trying to out-psych Neuer. Just take the bloody pen you wally.

Motm - Simone Zaza

 

[fatletiss]

Thierry Henry is correct. Pelle and Zaza let their mates down in that.

And I stay in

English players can't take penalties.

Foreign players who play in England can't take penalties.

Pelle's funked up, no wonder Tadic was preferred over him last few seasons , now we know!

 

[Beddy]

Pelle isn't Saints penalty taker is he? If he is ....after that showing he shouldn't be anymore.......

 

[fatletiss]

And I stay in

Yet to meet my mighty Iceland trolley pushers yet though!!!

Looking forward to our match up tomorrow flt

 

[saintgreg10]

Anyone else actually miss penalty shootouts with England? Be nice if we were good enough to get to one some day...

 

[TheSecondStain]

Thierry Henry is correct. Pelle and Zaza let their mates down in that.

Quite. Now we know why Graziano doesn't take penalties. I suggest a few lessons with MLT. Zaza was almost worse. He only came on to take a penalty.

Still. Enjoyable game, and I had a feeling all week that it would be one game too many for Italy. I'm sort of glad that if anyone beat them it was Germany. I like the way Germany play.

When will the Germany v Iceland semi be played? Actually, no, I've got the chance of winning money in a work sweepstake because I've got France, so sorry flt but it'll be Germany v France...

I think he took one...and scored.
