Another good game Slovakia v Poland. It's been a very good tournament, only lacking a full house atmosphere.

During the 2002 World Cup there was barely a sinner at the Derry v Donegal Ulster Championship game in Clones (at a time when attendances were good) as they were all watching the soccer against Spain. when it came to the crunch soccer won.
In fairness they are two counties where soccer has a bigger reach than most, so there was a natural interest in it to begin with.

The GAA were still in foreign code ban mode back then.

True there are people on both sides of Soccer and GAA that hate the other. But there are way more these days who like both and are involved in both!

I'd wonder how many Real Madrid players are watching this Spanish match at home.

How many players are Spanish on the first team and should be involved if fit? Isco?

If the Olympics are cancelled/a clusterfuck this might be the last major soccer tournament for a while.

I was wondering why Marko Arnautovic was getting angry after he scored for Austria https://t.co/0XtCcat9Rw?amp=1

He's some header

Great finish from the Czech player. But wtf was the Scottish  keeper at???

Nice to see a solid  hard working 442 do the business for Sweden v Spain.

As a nation, no matter what sport, the Scots have cornered the market in playing well and losing. They have dominated this game.

They've run around a lot, I'll give them that.

Yeah they tried hard and fair play to them for that but it was a lot of aimless crosses and not a huge amount of quality!

Robertson crosses were perfect. He just didn't have Salah or Mane with him today.

What's with all the women as pundits and co-commentators? Is it not a bit of an overkill?

Part of the interest of pundits/co-comm is players giving us wee snippets of information about certain players. Maybe they played with or against them or managed them. Little bits about their training methods, what they're like in changing room, or in normal life. You're not going to get that with women there.

It's overkill, though some are good, well one,  Alex Scott is decent

Aye they are falling over themselves to shoe-horn a woman pundit but many of them just aren't very good.

Save soccer punditry from women!!

No point complaining about women pundits when our ears still have to listen to Danny Murphy and Robbie Savage.
