    There are other games today (2): Czechs v Checks

    Croatia need to kick start their campaign here after underwhelming in their first match. Czechia have the momentum and can secure advancement with a win or possibly even a draw, hoping that means they won't go defensive.

    I'm pessimistic for Croatia here. Could be 6-6-0-0 by close of today.

        Another repeat of a fixture from France 2016 that I was lucky enough to have tickets for - not watched the build up to see if they referenced it today but it was the game where a handful of Croatian dickheads threw fireworks onto the pitch in St. Etienne.

          Czechs looking good early doors

            I really do fancy Soucek. He's got lovely eyes, and a beautiful languid run. I've been enjoying him all season for the Hammers, so this is a nice bonus.

              Is the the lowest crowd of the tournament so far or does Wales v Switzerland in Baku still have that honour?

                Czechs almost punished on the rebound themselves!

                  From this crowd everyone from Glasgow appears to be in London, possibly in a kilt, upside down in a fountain with a bottle of whisky in one hand.

                    This is quite boring, isn't it?

                      Not sure about that.

                          The penalty, that is.

                            Very interesting use of VAR there.

                              Schick's nose is very swollen

                                Contentious, but swept home.

                                    The last time I saw that much blood and Schick was involved...bla, bla, something to do with my first razor, etc.

                                    1-0 Czechs. Suck it up, Luka.

                                      I'd make gurning into the pitch-side camera a red card offence.

                                          The ref seems to think a tall defender can't jump with his arm bent in case the short attacker jumps into the elbow.

                                          What did the British TV ref say?

                                            Lovren is such a dick. I'm still not sure about that penalty, but it's enjoyable that it's him.

                                              Weird one this. It didn't feel like a penalty, but then again I don't see how elbowing somebody in the face in the penalty area can be anything but

                                                The British TV ref is on ITV. This game's on BBC.

                                                  Did Loveren’s challenge endanger the safety of an opponent? I think the amount of blood answers that. Does his lack of intent to do so matter? Not in the rules of Football as they stand - the obligation on all players is not to play in such a way that risks injury to fellow players.
                                                  How do players jump for the ball without raising their arms? Well, that is the wrong question. It should be if the ball is in a position where challenging for it is going to be a foul, why is the defender making that challenge in that way in the first place?
