Soooooo?
Will there be an extra forum category again for the Euro?
I've also just created a fantasy league, if there is already one created and I missed the link or someone else wants to make a "more official one", just go ahead and we use that one.
TL League code: oxAbMf

He's also just as selfish as he was in his prime, but without the ability to convert every half-chance he gets into a goal. Normally I'd say age doesn't remove players' magic touch. I saw Maradonna play in some weird friendly when he was over 50 and probably only barely weaned off his drug addiction. He was obese and ridiculous, but he got the ball somewhere a bit outside the box with a lot of time and space and curled it beautifully into the goal. Meanwhile Ronaldo took that free kick like an ass. Should clearly have let someone do an indirect kick, but his ego won't let him.
E: the flick to Leao was very nice.
I partly blame his coaches and teammates for that. He’s been absolute arse at free kicks for ages, iirc he had to adjust his technique due to a knee injury.
On the flipside Ronaldo has been almost the opposite of what I expected, minus not running a huge amount which predictably has been the case.
I expected him to not do a huge amount in general play and be absolutely lethal at seizing chances, or even half-chances given his quality. Instead he’s actually been quite decent in linking things, even beating the odd defender, but fluffing his lines in front of goal.

E: and jumping higher than all of them.
E2: I stand by my opinion that he should've been banned for life for his violent psychopathic behaviour back in 2013 or so, but he has so far played an amazing match, at 41 years old.

How is Pepe still fast enough to keep up with a 21-year old?!

German commentator mentioned at the end of the first half: Pepe was still without any foul so far this tournament.
I do not know if this is still true, but regardless, it is impressive for a central defender. Especially one with Pepes history.

Not to take away from the save, he pushes it onto the post.
Sesko, jesus christ the hype around that guy has gone. He was utter trash vs England, couldn't even control the ball, today he has missed a massive freebie. Arsenal and Chelsea dodged one there.

Maybe it's a Dutch thing, but in the Euro 2000, Netherlands outplayed Italy in every way, except scoring. They got 2 penalties during regular playtime. Seedorf was one of the penalty takers, and he missed. Then in the penalty shootout he missed again. He was far from the only player to miss a penalty in that match, but he was already known as a bad penalty taker beforehand, took 2, and missed both. He was a great player and had an amazing career, but he will always be associated with that one game against Italy in the collective memory of the Dutch...
