Only showed the replay once but it didn't even seem to get reviewed. Arguably onside.

[stknowle]

What a goal! 

[egg]

Oh. My. Days. 

Amazing game. 

Wow. 

[S-Clarke]

I genuinely do not believe what I'm seeing.

France have gone back into 'I don't give a shit' mode!

[Jimmy_D]

**** me all tournaments I watch from now on will be compared to this one.

[Micky]

Uummmmm interesting....

[Whitey Grandad]

Proper football

[The Cat]

Amazing game. What a day of football.

France will see this one out now, Swiss are gone.

(Trying my reverse phycology again, as it worked very well in the last game)

👏

[Sunglasses Ron]

Amazing character by the Swiss, fair play to them!

[Antrimsaint]

By far tgese tournaments arr better than any league. Sensational football. All I want now is Alan Partridge commentating

[Micky]

Close.... et

[S-Clarke]

Wow, great effort by Coman at the end.

What a frigging evening of football. Seriously. Best i've watched for years.

Yep. 14 goals in 2 matches. Unbelievable entertainment. 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Pogba doing his arrogant goal celebration, but he lost the ball in midfield for the equaliser. Show pony 

[Jimmy_D]

Unbelievable that the third goal didn’t kill the Swiss off.

No idea how this goes from here.

[Antrimsaint]

Have to say thank God both these games were on Itv. Far superior commentary on both games.

Emma Hayes and Ally McCoist v Savage and Murphy. No contest

Trust you to find a negative

Nice to get a football treat before tomorrow's inevitable dross from England.

McCoist is a breath of fresh air as a co-commentator to be honest. Nothing dour about him at all.

Not sure about Clive though.

[stknowle]

Bet Giroud scores the winner.

[Antrimsaint]

Just gets better this game

Hayes was trash. McCoist and Tyldesley are so far above any other commentators it's embarrassing. I'd rather every game was on Itv with them doing the commentary. 

[Antrimsaint]

These players that look so ordinary for their league teams are so much better in these games.

Pogba, xhaka are just two

Agree to disagree. Hayes was thoughtful, clear headed and had brilliant insight that she got over well. I thought she was a breath of fresh air. Not trash at all. Maybe you’re thinking of Savage.

 I think Clive is so so. McCoist elevates him

Nope. Savage is horrendous but she was poor as well. Terrible monotone voice it was awful. Gabby is the only female in football at the moment worth listening to. I'm not against female commentators or summarisers but I want good ones. TBF though I'd rather listen to her than Mark Hughes, sourness or Savage. 

[Lord Duckhunter]

I thought Hayes was auditioning for the role of Nancy in Oliver Twist.

Agree to a point. Itv very good this year. Much rather have pundits though picked on their content rather than profile. Easily have Keane, Souness et all over the Bbc lot

What Jenas, Cole, Murphy or Savage bring I don’t know

[Lord Duckhunter]

Jenas is horrendous. 

[S-Clarke]

Jeez, Mbappe. He's got to score.

Wouldn't be the first time he'd ruined my day...

[Jimmy_D]

Rodríguez to score the winning penalty in a shoot-out?

[Antrimsaint]

Switzerland are going to be holding on here for the last 10 I reckon

Doubt it, he’s been subbed off

Can agree with that. Some players are clearly picked because of their sex and skin colour. I want competent and entertaining pundits where demographics are an irrelevance.

I didn’t say it had to be this match

No, I’d missed that, does make it more unlikely I’ll admit lol

[Lighthouse]

Wrong side for JWP that.

Nonsense, would still have banged it in off the crossbar 😃

Lol 😆 If only. England Germany set up for a classic after today. It is written

I bet he’s the most relived man in the stadium, they either go through or somebody else shares his penalty woe

[Jimmy_D]

Penalties it is then...

This tournament really is wide open.

It is a lottery you twats

You’re not wrong there, although I still think France don’t get back into the match if that penalty goes in.

[Lighthouse]

Is anyone else very mildly annoyed by the way the sponsors are announced in the ad break? They literally couldn’t be bothered to record the sentence, "UEFA Euro 2020 is sponsored by Qatar Airways." Instead it’s disjointed and bodged together, like the announcements on a tube train.

You grumpy old bastard 😀

[Jimmy_D]

Have to admit I thought Pogba was going to paneka that into the keeper’s arms

[Whitey Grandad]

Shit camera angle. Who ever watches a penalty from hovering in the air 50 yards above the pitch?

I said ‘very mildly’! 😆

Cracking penalties these so far.
