Germany Hungary

[Mr Cogito]

That seemed like an improbable decision

[Sean of the Shed]

Penalty for France.

[anton pulisov]

Germany seem to suffer from a lack of energy. Proper slow football.

Well, the conditions...

[anton pulisov]

I guess it depends whether the intention was to win the ball, same as when an outfield player makes a tackle. The only other interpretation could be dangerous play, like a studs up tackle.

That's what I'm thinking, dangerous play. Equivalent of a reckless tackle.

[San Bernardhinault]

Hungary seem to be taking long distance potshots in the hope of getting one on target and the ball being slippy. Everyone looks utterly drenched.

[Ray de Galles]

I'm not listening too closely, but it appears that the US commentator was trying to make out that that wasn't a penalty.

I think it often wouldn't have been given...but it absolutely always should be.

Which also distracted the referee from focussing on Danilo who was thrashing around following the blow to his head.

Yes I couldn't work out if he was really making a meal of it or actually quite injured. His legs were still visibly kicking while he was down being treated, I was quite worried for a minute.

If the weather doesn't ease up in Munich they might have to abandon it

I hope it stops and there's a rainbow.

[Felicity, I guess so]

As long as England don't squeak out of this with a game against Hungary

[Logan Mountstuart]

I can personally confirm that it is pissing it down in South Germany. This group is going to shit, isn't it?

[Amor de Cosmos]

Portugal are looking far more composed than in their earlier matches. France, Mbappe aside, seem a bit sluggish.

[Sean of the Shed]

If you are going to give a foul for punching in the face, then shouldn't that be a red card? Or do goalkeepers get a pass on that?

[Various Artist]

I had the same thought. However, France have not maintained the form they had against Germany, and there's still time for GD to put Hungary 2nd I think.

Yes it needs a further 3-goal swing.

Think he was going for the ball.

[Ray de Galles]

Followed by the usual arguments, faux injuries and harassing of the referee before its taken.

So England v France...?

Bit early?

[elguapo4]

Horrible challenge by Lloris, correctly punished. Just because he's wearing gloves doesn't mean he can punch and elbow an opponent.
