From the outside, this feels like the right move for him and the club. I would have afraid that any early season struggles would have led him being fired 10 matches into next season. It felt like the only reason he kept the job was because of the CL run to the finals not because the board wanted him to stay.

I really want UEFA and the match officials to be firm with this dissent rule.

Putin must be watching this match shouting at his generals about how weak the Ukrainian defense is.

Landon's haircut and Mbappe's nose are two Euro looks that wont catch on.
Julien Laurens (a French sports journalist who is apparently close to Mbappe) says he's in hospital and it's uncertain if he'll play again. |

As soon as they showed the closeup of Mbappe's nose, I thought it was broken and figured that he would put on the mask and play. The idea he wouldn't play again seems a bit extreme unless there is damage to the orbital area as well.

With reports now saying surgery is a real possibility, I suppose it would come down to what they had to do. And, I suppose realistically, what his pain tolerance is.

With this tournament format, France basically only needs one more 0-0 draw to advance to the knockout phase. The risk of Mbappe running his nose into a Dutch or Polish defender, it's just not worth it.

Did anyone in the U.S. watch the Turkey v Georgia match this afternoon? I just wanted to know if they just moved Fox's broadcast exclusively to fuboTV similar to the Chiefs v Dolphins playoff game being on Peacock or did they have their own broadcast team like Amazon on Thursday Night?

I love to know how it was decided that one child will get the chance to walk out with Cristiano Ronaldo and another kid get to walk out with Joao Cancelo

I'm guessing the defender (not goalkeeper) was at fault here? Can a soccer player ever recover from something like this? I'm thinking fans of the team (& country) will forever hold this against him.

Aside from not having Fubo so missing 1/3 of the games so far, I've enjoyed having something live to watch for most of the day the past week (even more now that Copa America has started). But, I see that ends today in favor of doubled up games at 3pm. Why? Because it's Sunday? It's in Germany so 12 here would be late afternoon/early evening there.. Seems like an ideal day for 12/3 games.

Ah, Scotland. Could just make it slightly painful could you. It had to be maximum pain.

Who on the USMNT frontline is supposed to be getting a head on all of these floaters?

If the NCAA ran the Euro Cup, no doubt Argentina and Brazil would have won a couple each by now. Just some minor realignment.

Fans being pissed that there is now technology that will let the match official know who touched the ball last before it goes out of play is hilarious.

What an unreal ending to the Croatia-Italy game. Literally seconds from advancing, and the Italians with an equalizer at the buzzer.

I was just going to give Croatia full marks for not only their last gasp defending but also their offense work. Alas it was all for naught.
Who is going to have the heartbreaking defeat tomorrow?

Extrapolating what happened then and there (WC 1982) vs the 2004 events into the ongoing Euro 2024, there's no perfect solution. Basically, they should play all 12 matches at the same time to avoid having teams knowing in advance whether a 0-0 draw will be sufficient te be amongst the better 3rd place teams. Things won't get any better tomorrow, where it's quite possible Czechia takes a 1-goal lead vs Turkey and (as long as Portugal's B team doesn't let Georgia win) it'll put both Czechia and Turkey through to the knockout phase, because of Turkey's goal difference compared to Hungary's. Which might become moot by that time if in Group E another team (or two) gets steamrolled into a dreadful goal difference and somehow still ends up 3rd. Group E is the mindfuck of clusterfucks between Romania, Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine will be at another level, as they all know that the result at the other game is almost as important as their own, all 4 have a very strong preference of which team wins the other match, whether it be to win the group or, most importantly, not to finish last in the group.

Yeah that makes sense. Annoying as a viewer though.
Today's games were 2 entertaining/must-watch at noon and 2 garbage/boring games at 3.

Oh yeah, they should have made the schedule such that Sunday had 2 games. It should be possible in this format.

How about that, after conclusion of Group E games, Portugal can decide their own opponent by losing (Slovenia) or not losing (Hungary).

Another stunning stoppage time goal, though with bogus 2nd yellow, it was Turkey's to lose.
