Says it all that, just a few weeks ago, Hodgson was speaking of him as Wilshere's deputy...

Switzerland have their best period of the game and the inevitable happens. 1-0 Poland.
I'm still utterly baffled by the continued inclusion of Seferovic, though. Don't see what he gives.

From the BBC: As with most periods of extra time, it's a static, stodgy affair. Time to bring back the golden goal?
How typical of the BBC to forget the facts, namely how the golden goal led to teams being even more defensive in extra time because they knew one mistake in the 91st minute would end the match there and then.

Xhaxa bottled it. Should fit in nicely...

What an awful half of football. This is what happens when you get 2 sides that stubbornly want to play on the counter. Credit to N.Ireland though, there plan looks to have worked very well so far. Wales need to mix it up, they're too predictable.
How much did Xhaka cost Arsenal? Whatever it was they could've knocked £10mill off the price if they waited until after the tournament, he's had a shocker.

In every single Wales match Ramsey's been wasteful in possession, mainly by over-hitting passes or dribbling up blind alleys, but he seems to get a free pass - almost as if he's the Welsh version of so many England players, coasting on reputation that is ill-deserved.

Yes it's strange. The commentators and pundits laud over him like he's a world beater - not a monkey-beater, that he seems most of the time.

He's a pass-feeder to a monkey-looking world-beater.
I think Portugal Croatia may be the worst 90 minutes of football I've ever seen. Not only no shots on goal but seemingly no serious attempts to do anything. 
After an excellent first game, there have been two absolute stinkers. But this makes Wales Northern Ireland look like Brazil Italy in '82.
I wonder if they'll manage a shot on goal when it goes to pens.

This is how tennis looks to me all the time. Only worse.
Glen Hoddle hates Portugal lol. Nani plays Ronaldo in with a quality pass and he stays it was lucky, what a tit. That Portugal goal was the only good thing in the whole game, Croatia to negative.

If there's one team I'm glad to see the back of at every tournament it's Portugal, and tonight reminded me of many of the reasons why: little to no attempt to win the game, constant niggly fouls (or in Renato Sanches' case, constant shoulder charges - yet he wasn't booked), and players who seem happiest when they're flinging themselves to the pitch.
Of course, the ref has previous with this: he's the moron who let Brazil kick Columbia off the pitch at the last World Cup

Another Brexiter comes to visit....
Back to the 1950's with them. I guess it's still mostly in black and white up there.
