To those of you who struggle with my assertions about football being more random than it appears.....what logical explanation is there about why this tournament has 9 own goals which is apparently more than all the previous Euro finals put together. Surely there must be a reason for such an extreme event?
If we had been given 9 own goals last season we would have had about 15 extra points. If that had happened by chance would that have changed anyone's opinion on how good we were.

Bloody awful defending by both teams.That Number7 of Croatia won the game for Spain.Ist goal he was on the wrong side of the striker and the second and 5th goal showed he couldn't tackle. Make good watching for the telly people!
 
Emma Hayes v Dixon,Savage , matterface and co is no comparison, give me Hayes any day over those dinosaurs

Savage is a cock. I don’t mind him as a radio host for something like a 5 live phone in because I accept the job there is to be controversial and stir things up a bit to get people to listen and call in. But it’s a no from me as a pundit or co-commentator.

When Savage played (and I use that term very loosely as he never got out of the centre circle) for Wales, I always said then and stand by it now, I would have preferred the Robbie from Eastenders, with or without Well Ard.

Never forgiven him for deliberately getting Justin Edinburgh sent off in that Carling Cup Final.

France have been pretty awful. The opening game against Germany really looked like a marker, their team looked as good as the sum of their parts, it's been a long way off that so far tonight.

Tuning in now for the second half, did they play a back 3 in the first half or something?

Did you see the embarrassing clothes he was wearing on Saturday?

Effing scruff.
