Love it, proper mental

Me too, VAR provides some proper twists and turns at times

[Barneylfc∗]

A new one. Not sure from when it's supposed to be active.

1st June for competitions that start after that date

[jillcwhomever]

Pepe goes off injured.

[rushyman]

I think if there's 3 or more defenders in the wall, no attacking player is allowed within 1 metre of it or something along those lines.

Which I think is a piss take

It’s like if you find inventive ways to score out comes the 160 year old football rule book and a bottle of tipex.

[Barneylfc∗]

Pepe goes off injured.

Shame

[Dim Glas]

Shaq had made some excellent passes over the top in this game.

ooooffff, another chance for the Swiss created by Shaq.

[jillcwhomever]

Some great balls in by Shaq today best player on the pitch tonight.

[rushyman]

Pepe goes off injured.

The biggest prick on the pitch to ever grace a football field

That took Some doing aswell. So fair play really

Deserves a trophy for it

[mc_red22]

So the ref ignores the foul on a Switzerland player but then awards a free kick and a yellow card for a similar foul on a Portugal player. Nothing like consistency.

Portugal player pushes a team mate into a Switzerland player and Portugal get the free kick Who the fuck is this ref?

[rocco]

So  Portugal Var pen appeal got cancelled

What if Var took 6 mins and 3 goals scored by then

[BrandoLFC]

Which I think is a piss take

It’s like if you find inventive ways to score out comes the 160 year old football rule book and a bottle of tipex.

The point of the rule is to prevent teams from having their players crash the wall which isn't really all that inventive.

Anyway, enjoyable game so far.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Shaq can play wide obviously, but his position is as the 10, always will be.

[Henry Kissinger]

I had a student GP girl say I had a ‘run of the mill’ injury on mine

She was about 25. She obviously sees quite a catalogue

Which one? Kays? Freemans? Milletts?

[jillcwhomever]

Pathetic bit of play from Ronaldo back heeling and giving it away.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

Shaq can play wide obviously, but his position is as the 10, always will be.

He still plays mostly from the right for the Swiss, but his role is more like a ten you're right, in terms of the defensive freedom he has and the playmaking responsibilities on him. He's consistently amazing for them in return - the Swiss fans must love him.

I'd be tempted to say to him next season come the cup games we will give you that same freedom you have for your country, go out and lead us to a domestic cup. And in the meantime you better graft in the league and CL when your opportunities arise!

[Jack The Lad]

Turned it off as the missus came home, but how annoying was that commentator. Who the fuck was Fernandesh playing for Portugal?

[jillcwhomever]

Another super ball by Shaq, the Swiss can't finish though.

[Hazell]

A bit greedy that from Cher.

[Dim Glas]

Another super ball by Shaq, the Swiss can't finish though.

It's a shame really, cos the Swiss are a good team and have some really good players, but they are really missing a decent striker.  Best they have is Seferovic and Embolo I think, neither of which are prolific, to put it mildly!

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Superb finish again

[Hazell]

Dang. Great finish from Ronaldo but still a twat.

[Dim Glas]

Bah, Ronaldo, again    One of the few good moves they have made all game.

[rushyman]

That is some undeserved shit

One man team

[Gnurglan]

Of course. He's been average, but he's scored twice anyway.

[newterp]

How didn’t the keeper get that

[Gnurglan]

87 goals in 157 games for Portugal.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Superb finish again

ditto

[oxenstierna]

so lethal its insane

[Lee1-6Liv]

Hat trick now.

[Gnurglan]

88 in 157...

[newterp]

Lol ok that was good

[Lush is the best medicine...]

87 goals in 157 games for Portugal.

88 now, deffo getting to 100, hopefully against england

[Dim Glas]

Ronaldo 3 Switzerland 0

[Broad Spectrum]

He’s just unreal.

[smicer07]

Defending on that!

[jillcwhomever]

Jeez he has done three things only in this game, don't think Portugal are that special. Without the Arse they'd be lucky to get through.

[whtwht]

Dang. Great finish from Ronaldo but still a twat.

This.

[JoeCole]

Xhaka is so bad

[Skrtelonparole]

Decent finishing...

[Robinred]

Granit Xhaka. In all seriousness, if you were offered him on a free, you’d feel insulted.
