Baird of the land

BBC commentator annoying me. Pretending that the portugal penalty was deserved but the france one was a travesty. Both were poor imo.

While the Modric goal was lovely, the other two were very poor from scots. Adams had another decent game. Don’t get how the useless dykes managed another 90 again.

I like the bigger format, though would prefer one host rather than this all over the shop approach.

The guardian ratings somehow had Adams as Scotland's worst player. Not sure what game their correspondent was watching.

England just seem so pedestrian much of the time. With Kane so off the boil, maybe leaving someone like ings out was more of a bad move than JWP. Thought Adams was excellent. Such a shame he lacks a bit of composure when the big chances come. Amrstrong looks like a great impact sub in this scotland team.

i don't agree with the two tier decision making where most would accept that as a foul outside the box but not inside. Maybe they should bring in a indirect free kick for that sort of stray arm, which would mean consistency regardless where on the pitch.

Villa in their own Theo moment, bringing back Young.

Schmeichel having an appalling tournament.

Thought the Danish kid Damsgaard has looked good.

Turkey really have been appalling in both games.

Going to try and avoid the post match garbage about how wonderful portugal are. Played awfully in the 2nd half and got a completely jammy late opener from a double defelction, after which hungary went to pieces.

Thought Adams would start. Maybe being loyal to players that got them there.

Is Steklenburg really the best dutch keeper?

I do wonder if Someone like Mourinho would have simply taken it out of their hands and made the decision themselves.

It was pretty straightforward. If he hadn’t of been stabilized I seriously doubt either option would have been considered. As it was options presented seem pretty sensible given the schedule and game needing completed.

Never felt confident with Hojberg as penalty taker. Should have given it to Vestergaard.

Given the seeming positive news from hospital they may just feel its better to get the game finished. Not sure they would be in any better shape to try and come back tomorrow.

great news

Given how bad Turkey looked Wales have a chance of getting through.

Yeah confirms the sense that Ralph decided from get go that they were simply too old to be worked with. Ross Wilson really got that contract wrong though. Kid would be happy with 2 years Ross throws him a four and half year deal. Really hope Hesketh finds a decent league club and manages to find a way to re-discover the ability that he previously exhibited in fits and starts. Maybe he'll rock up at Mansfield with Cloughie.

Fab news that we seem to be getting rid and getting a fee.

They are merely expressing their opinion on the rite. It’s no different to Southgate and co expressing their view that they don’t want the fans to boo. Unless you describe that as a ban, you shouldn’t describe a boo as a ban.

Curious how those that choose to boo could be accused of trying to ban it.

I think that because the TV media won't even raise any probing questions of the rite it opens the door to the likes of that conservative MP to jump on the culture war angle. I think its well past its sell by date. I query whether any alternative rite should replace. There's lots of societal human ills, so why give one a special ritual 365 days a year to one. Maybe at most have one weekend with kick it out jerseys one week a year like the poppies so it has more impact.
