Germany Hungary

[Amor de Cosmos]

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

[Ray de Galles]

I think that should be a pen.

[Logan Mountstuart]

Fourthed for keeping it all on one thread.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Pen for Portugal

[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.

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

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

[Mr Cogito]

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

[scratchmonkey]

It's both, yes.

I swear that I posted "Cat's among the pigeons now" a minute before Derek Rae said that exact phrase.

[Amor de Cosmos]

This is the Portugal v France thread huh?

[Satchmo Distel]

Two Bundesliga players made the goal (Derek Rae notes)

[Ray de Galles]

That was my initial reaction, but seriously, is that the reason?

Pretty much, here are the workings.

Not sure I trust the figures or the efficacy of the vaccine campaign and I believe Hungary's overall Covid death rates have been very high.

[scratchmonkey]

Cat's among the pigeons now.

[Patrick Thistle]

Regrettably that was a very good goal

[San Bernardhinault]

Lovely finish!

[Patrick Thistle]

Hungary targeting Kimmich. He's been kicked twice already.

[Sheep]

I've got an almost working version of Portugal France. Who would the Hungarians rather win?

If both France and Hungary win, Hungary finish second to set up a bout with England.

[Belhaven]

Because it's a totalitarian state and the head of it wanted to give a Fuck You to the rest of Europe.

That was my initial reaction, but seriously, is that the reason?

[Ray de Galles]

Germany all in black and Hungary all in white. They should both be expelled for that already.

The German kit is lush, mind.

There is a completely blacked out version of it (names and numbers too) but they're not allowed to wear it in the tournament for obvious reasons.

[Ray de Galles]

I'm watching Germany v Hungary but welcome this being a joint thread because it's helpful to know what's going on in the other game.

Thirded.

[Gangster Octopus]

I've got an almost working version of Portugal France. Who would the Hungarians rather win?

[Ray de Galles]

Any particular reason they don't care about covid-19 in Hungary? It is not like they are less affected than other countries.

Why do they allow that many spectators?

Because it's a totalitarian state and the head of it wanted to give a Fuck You to the rest of Europe.

[Patrick Thistle]

I just presumed Germany decided to wear black to troll the Hungary ultras

[scratchmonkey]

Just got out of a company virtual tour of the main gay neighborhood in Berlin, given by a very affable man from Belfast, who noted that his husband was down in Munich giving a speech outside the arena before the game. Good to see some rainbow flags in the German support and hopefully Orban's black shirts go home unhappy and wet.

[Patrick Thistle]

I didn't realise Robbie Savage was on co-commentator duty. Already had a comparison to Wales...
