Germany Hungary

[Hot Orange]

I'd always assumed Gnabry was more of a gnat than a gnu, pronunciation-wise. Seems I've been wrong all these years.

[Mr Cogito]

Trying to watch both games at the same time is a lot less enjoyable than I thought it might be.

Always used to be similar arguments around how to pronounce Gnasher.

[Logan Mountstuart]

I'm in the Black Forest drying out my soaking clothes in a cabin. I've never wanted Germany to win more. Jesus. England - Hungary in the last 16. Way to kill a joyous tournament.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Pen for Portugal

[Logan Mountstuart]

Fourthed for keeping it all on one thread.

[Ray de Galles]

I think that should be a pen.

[Amor de Cosmos]

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

[Amor de Cosmos]

Duly deposited by Ronaldo

[Felicity, I guess so]

So England v France...?

[elguapo4]

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

[Sean of the Shed]

So England v France...?

Bit early?

[anton pulisov]

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?

[Satchmo Distel]

So England v France...?

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.

[Ray de Galles]

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

Think he was going for the ball.

Yes it needs a further 3-goal swing.

[anton pulisov]

Absolute pissing it down in Munich.

[Sean of the Shed]

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.

imp to thread

[Amor de Cosmos]

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

[ad hoc]

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

[Logan Mountstuart]

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

[Felicity, I guess so]

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

[Ray de Galles]

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

I hope it stops and there's a rainbow.

[S. aureus]

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