Somehow, it doesn't really feel like Dutch performances count if they're not playing in orange.

2-0 again.

Do they normally have two quarter final matches on one day?


Seems kinda wrong to me.

These aren't QF games.

3-0.

I know, but the Quarter final matches are being played 2 on one day, this Friday and Saturday.

He banged that in like the proverbial nail in the coffin.

Yeah, back in the day they did it one match for 4 days, that seems a much better way to do it, rather than having 3 days off.

Good for the players, bad for the telly punters.

They seem to forget who pays their wages!

I asked a 17 year old if he was enjoying the football at about ten past six - just to be polite while he waited for my son to get home. He was still talking about Turkey at twenty past seven. I checked my watch deliberately. Between 1h 5m and 1h 10m of my day has been hmmming and ahhhing at this. Now they’ve gone out.

Nothing. I just like to see Cristiano Ronaldo cry.

It wasn't even like he just cried.

Instead he had a full-on tantrum/mini-nervous breakdown.

He was like a toddler that's got overheated running around a beer garden on a July day, too thick to realise they're very very tired and just need to go beddy-byes.

The way his teammates had to try and calm him down after that penalty was about as as anything I've seen in a football game.

Oh I see.

They could’ve tried whisky or brandy on his gums.

Turkey beating Austria, 1-0.

Come on Turkey!

(That's settled this result)

2-0.

Ohhhh....
2 - 0

2-1

2-1.

It's been a very rainy tournament.

I had time to run into that space from here!
