    He cautioned Mbappe for coming on to the field of play without permission. One of his better decisions. And I thought he got the time about right. Just my opinion, though.

    I guess that such a thing as a big international football tournament is a real test of a country's infrastructure Fez and the rail network here is one of their weakest links. Don't get me wrong, the trains are not exploding or catching fire it's just that if you plan a rail holiday here you should allow time for it. The rail system works better in all Germany's neighbouring countries. It wasn't always this way but since the DB moved onto the stock exchange things have been getting worse and worse - it's also logical that a country with such a powerfull car industry would have run down its public transport sector over many years.

    That is true.

    I read before UEFA don't like having lots of injury time in their competitions which is why we don't see as much.

    The Munich Police were obviously impressed with the Scots - I think...

    Turkey v Georgia on the face of it doesn't seem that exciting, but a certain G.Chakvetadze is in the starting line up.

    What a cracking goal for Turkey - scored by a full back too.

    This is an enjoyable watch, with both sides showing attacking intent.

    Can't say I've enjoyed any of it so far as not been able to watch as had some family drama that boiled over. All ok now.

    Glad to see England get a win.

    45 minutes of attack vs defence!

    The Portuguese have obviously been told to pass to Ronaldo as much as possible, it's ruining their game. I'm ready to bet they'll score as soon as he's taken off.

    Some of them don't want to pass to each other, let alone Ronaldo. The fella that got booked for simulation tried to go past the right back six times before his attended cross hit the defender's knee and went to the guy in acres of space who could have crossed it in a minute earlier! Woeful, really.

    Some gold standard Watford style passing on display in this game.

    There's a certain familiarity about the whole thing. Irritating, somewhat!:emoticon-0114-dull:

    Hope all is ok.

    Basically what they said on the BBC too.

    And of course they did score when bringing some other forward players on!

    I bet Ronaldo was a bit gutted in a way he wasn't the match winner.

    I wonder who thought that German kit was a good idea?
