UEFA EURO 2020

Ronaldo removed two bottles of coke from in front of him at a press conference and causes a $4 billion drop in Coca-Cola's share price (1.6%). Funny, impressive and scary all at the same time.

Pogba also did the same with Heineken yesterday. I’m led to believe this is because he’s a Muslim, although I’m not sure.

Maybe, although it was the non-alcoholic version on display.

Which then got Heineken trending, thus giving free advertising to the alcoholic version...

Tbh I'm still mystified by the concept of 'official beer of..' for tournaments and certain clubs. Of course it's a massive money making exercise, but I imagine Heineken were counting themselves lucky Pogba did what he did after the the AL25 closed trading for the day.

Great victory for Wales. 2-0 v Turkey. Ramsey played very well. Really pleased for them. Should be enough to see them through

Also helps they have former a Darlo player on the staff!

 

[HST274]

Loved the 'unbiased' commentary from Robbie Savage. Though to be fair I was also surprised by Bale's choice not to stick in the corner though I guess it worked out

 

[Cowley]

That was a great performance and the best I’ve seen Bale play for a long time.

Apart from blasting his penalty into orbit

Apart from blasting his penalty into orbit

Wonder if it’s landed anywhere yet

 

[Cowley]

Oh yeah. Good point.

 

[AlterEgo]

Still a great performance by Bale. Two outstanding assists. Say what you like about him, he enjoys playing for Wales unlike some other players I can recall.

Can anyone tell me what Kieffer Moore used to do before he was a footballer? Nobody on the telly is talking about it...

Joking aside, an excellent performance from Wales today. Should've been a rugby score though!

EDIT:
What a strike by Italy's Locatelli there! 2-0 now, and the golden-boot race opens up...

The changes Italy have made over the last few years make them look a strong contender to get to the final. If I was going to put any money on a team I think it’d probably be them actually.

I haven't put a bet on this time, but I usually do. I always seem to overlook Italy for some reason, and they do look like real contenders this time around. A France Italy final would be great for the neutrals!

No problem with Bale, apart from his top knot but that is just jealousy

What a strike by Italy's Locatelli there! 2-0 now, and the golden-boot race opens up.

The first goal is the best. Locatelli starts it with a nice volleyed pass out wide then runs 2/3's of the field to round of the goal.

Blimey it feels like we’ve had a few of them over the years.
I was in Menton in France (right by the Italian border) watching the Euro 2000 final between the two teams when France won it. We went out on the town after the game and it was absolutely bonkers.
I’d love to experience something like that with England.

Well done Wales.

Poor Ryan Giggs missing all the action, wonder if he will ever be back at the helm.

I'm sure Jermaine Jenas or whoever it was co-commentating was perfectly balanced against Croatia last Sunday

 

[WelshBluebird]

Denmark taking the lead against Belgium and bossing the game so far. Obviously still very early but great to see. Them having a right go at it is as much a fitting gesture to Eriksen as anything else would be!

Until now...

With tonight's England v Scotland match in mind, I would cheerfully settle for the same scoreline that occurred at Wembley in 1961, when i was a more lad of 16.

I'd much prefer the 1967 one when we "Won the World Cup" and the match 3-2

Did Scotland went on to win the World Cup in 1978, or was that the media frenzy believing/brainwashing people into thinking they had?

PS I would like both England and Scotland to go through to the next round today, but would depend upon the Croatia v Czech Republic match which kicks off earlier.

 

[DarloRich]

Denmark had chances to put the game beyond Belgium, didn't and paid the price when the Belgique big guns fired up. Same for Hungary the other night v Portugal. Beaten, harshly, 3-0 but had chances at 0-0.

For England tonight it is like a tricky FA cup clash for a big team. You have to impose yourself, play your game, and not get dragged down to the level Scotland want.

Robertson is a big threat for Scotland. I suspect Tierney will play and Adams up front but Scotland surely cant be as direct as they were in the Czech game.

For work I chair a weekly client call on Friday afternoons. Audience is roughly 50% English, 50% Scottish. What approach should I take today..?

Postpone it in favour of an early finish and go to the pub?

Adopt a Welsh accent?

Tbh that feels like the only right option

Adopt a Welsh accent?

Mine's less convincing than John Redwood's knowledge of the Welsh national anthem.

Tell them this game is like the England Cricket team having to play a county side. Should go down well.

Assuming you're having the county side as your equivalent of Scotland, that to me seems like saying you think Scotland are goimg to flatten England, given England's recent test performances
