    Hungary,'s football was also terrible, ultradefensive shit. On purely footballing terms, I am glad they are out.

      Blimey, that's a bit harsh given the group they were drawn in. I thought they deserved to beat Germany, who were largely unimaginative in breaking them down. I'm no fan of 11 players behind the ball either, but when it's your only tactical option and you're effective on the break then you're going to give it a go - it almost worked.

        Thankfully, only almost. Had they tried to play a little bit of proper football yesterday, I think they would have won the game.

          UEFA investigating anti-LGBT banners and chanting by Hungary fans. Expect a fine of at least a couple of hundred quid and a tut if found guilty.

            A tut sounds a bit strong. I'd expect UEFA to settle for an indrawing of breath between their teeth and a sad little shake of the head.

                Glad to inform you that it was somewhat stronger than that. 100,000 Euro fine and two games behind closed doors (with the prospect of more punishments to come if the offence is repeated). Quite a strong response by UEFA standards, I'm happy to say

                  Hopefully that's a consistent new level of punishment for bigotry and racism in stadia. It's about time. UEFA still need to look at themselves for letting Orban's regime dictate their stance regarding Munich's request to light their stadium in rainbow colours.
