UEFA Euro 2016

Iceland has the same population of Corpus Christi. Maybe Corpus should have its own team. Probably would at least be better than Canada.

We're ranked 93rd in the world I'll have you know.

Iceland is 47th. Which means Corpus Christi is twice as good as Canada.

Out of how many teams who can afford real boots?

Beet the eggplants. 

Sour grapes, much?

Croatia - Portugal is the only game I've been able to watch today. I'm hugely disappointed. 

[HVC]

The other two weren't much better.

[Josquius]

Yeah. It's the only one I haven't been watching (I say watching but wasn't paying much attention to the other two). They were dull.

I'm pondering Is this is modern football?
I've been reading a book on the history of football tactics and various paradigm shifts. I wonder if we are entering another, overly defensive, one?

After all.  The analytics incredibly show posession is unimportant and the more defensive teams win.

But it's clear to see that it's not just Pepe who's a giant dick, many of his teammates are dicks too.

Yeah. It's the only one I haven't been watching (I say watching but wasn't paying much attention to the other two). They were dull.

I hope not.

0 shots on target from any team. Has Ronaldo touched the ball yet? This might be the most boring game I've ever seen.

This is a discussion I hear every second year at least, butu usally there is at least one successful team somewhere that triggers such discussions. Yet we continue enjoying the game and having great matches.

I think organised defense is now easier to learn and practice than effective offense, at the very least finishing an offense. It is bound to change and shift as it always has.

[Liep]

This game is making me doubt football will ever be fun again.

Game was exciting for like 3 minutes

Ronaldo had the first shot on target in the game 2 seconds before Queresma scores.
