[FoxTimmy2]

Turkey, Austria and Georgia have been involved in the best games at this Euros.

That's a shame for Austria. 

 

Their fans were immense in Dusseldorf during the day v France. Never seen so many drunk people at 1pm when the game was starting at 9pm.....

Great game. Gareth wouldve turned that off for sure.

[RowlattsFox]

Think the organisers will be hoping it's not England v turkey in the semis if they go through. Could be a tasty crowd

What a save at the death that was 

[Super_horns]

Wow !

 

Great save at the end .

 

Really was match winning.

[grobyfox1990]

Another crazily entertaining match 

[steveherbe]

What a great game, football how it should be played. Hope Boring Southgate was watching.

Probably the best game of the Euros so far.

 

Are you watching Gareth?

 

No, thought not.

I would rather England play like either of those teams tonight, fair play to both as they gave it their all

 

England are as dull as dishwater

End to end, from kickoff to the last second.  Capped by the save of the tournament at the death.

 

Quality wasn't perfect, but that was nonetheless proof that the beautiful game still exists

Theyd be shitting it for if that was the semis. Think it could be very nasty

[Mike1983]

Cracking game that. Frenzied, end to end, scrappy and skillful, and a game winning save thrown in at the death. 

Fair play though, they left absolutely everything on the pitch.

Austria have gone out pal, I’d rather still be involved tbf 

[DennisNedry]

What a terrific game that was.

 

I wish more football matches were played like that. 

 

I can imagine the likes of Southgate or Enzo shuddering watching it. Far too open, passionate and exciting, not enough 'control'.

Weren’t we heavily linked with Demiral for a couple of years and then decided to buy Faes?

Long before Faes. Before he went to Juventus.

Plenty of football is played like that, in this tournament alone! 

[bovril]

Enjoyed Matterface's 'Young Turks Run Free' comment at the end, skillfully linking a movement that initiated genocides against Christians in the Near East with the 1976 Candi Staton smash hit.

Italian Manager Montella was to setting up a team chemistry , meanwhile Turks:

Ah yes my thought too. I remember back in 1970 we settled down to watch the Brazil match on tv when we had to quickly unplug the set as it started to emit lots of smoke. Went to next door neighbour who were a lovely Irish couple. Asked if they were going to watch the England game and they said yes and immediately invited me, mum and dad in. I recall them offering more than one or two double Irish whiskies to parents. By the way Jeff Astle missed a sitter to equalise

England?  Tasty?  

[Nalis]

Unpopular opinion but as an ex keeper I felt he made the save look better than it actually was. His positioning wasn't great in the first place.

 

Still a great save.

Great game last night. 

 

But the save wasn't as good as it's being made out to be. His starting position wasn't good:

 

 

Anyway, nice one for making it as it got me top points in my predictions league and took me up to second place!

Agree on this save. Had he headed the ball so that it bounced close to the line rather than where it did it would have been much better.
