No Portuguese Pundits: Portugal v Germany

[Sean of the Shed]

Souness is doing 'Gundogan' with the hard second G.

Really can't understand why this gets people so wound up. It's a wholly different and unnatural way of pronouncing in many cases, and can sound far worse if they do attempt a proper pronunciation.
I can't imagine European commentators have any more success with names like Maguire or McLaughlin to be fair.

[Gangster Octopus]

Germany finally score...

[Sean of the Shed]

Germany finally score one.

[Patrick Thistle]

Hey a Germany goal scored by a Germany player.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Dias was gutted he couldn't get his foot to it first though.

[Sean of the Shed]

Seems it pays to keep your sentence as short as possible.

[Patrick Thistle]

Sanches has over hit every single touch he's had since coming on.

[Sporting]

Why does he look so unhappy when scoring? Is he always like this?

[Patrick Thistle]

Germany arguing about throw ins.

[Gangster Octopus]

Rout.

[Discordant Resonance]

Beat me to it, GO.

[Sean of the Shed]

Not a single Portuguese defender picking up Gosens there.

[Nefertiti2]

Gosens amazing. astonishing having got to 25 without playing for Bayern Munich

[Discordant Resonance]

Ger Canning showing all the banality of a GAA commentator covering soccer.

[Patrick Thistle]

Lovely goal that. Germany the first side to score 4 at this championships.

[Satchmo Distel]

This might be the best performance of the tournament so far, just surpassing how France played against Germany (who were nowhere near this cohesive and fluent). Still hard to win the whole thing with no striker and a slow defence, though.

[Snake Plissken]

Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Dias are not looking as good as they do against Fulham and Crystal Palace.

[Patrick Thistle]

Foul throw!

[Ray de Galles]

The Portuguese back four seemed to have spent much of the game facing their own goal from six yards out and all within their width of their own penalty area.

They must have played against wing backs before but seem completely discombobulated by doing so today.

[Logan Mountstuart]

I can't help comparing the pace of this to England's pitter patter yesterday.

[Patrick Thistle]

Haha fucking abysmal defending there by Germany.

[Gangster Octopus]

Reverse of the first goal...

[Discordant Resonance]

Game of the tournament, could they level it yet!

[Sean of the Shed]

Ooh, getting interesting now.

[Patrick Thistle]

How hard did Jota hit that from 1 inch out
