Euro 2020/2021

Some groaning about the Austrian gear this year - black (former color of chancellor Kurz's ÖVP) and turquoise (current ÖVP color). One possible explanation is that the colors are a negative image of the Austrian colors. Which raises the question if Kurz picked turquoise for his cult party because it was basically the anti-red?

Austrian colours were indeed horrible with Macedonian colours closer to the Austrian game.

Pleasant game though, which is what matters.

I was actually wondering what the hell was Austria's away kit and who was the idiot that designed it, hadn't made the association with Kurz and his fondness for turquoise (I learned that from Bohmermann's report on him).

Austria's colours jolted me almost as much as the TikTok ads on the boards. Are they aiming for the preteen girls market?

Tik Tok is the main sponsor for the tournament. Yeah, it's weird.

Scottish commentary can get savage - "yeah, he's picked because he's never let Scotland down when pla.....Well he might have with that first touch"

[Josquius]

Total aside but this is kind of a lovely detail from The Times on Sterling scoring in a tournament in his home stadium

Thats cute

[Duque de Bragança]

Last two games between Czechia and Scotland ended in victory for the Scots, but Czechs used to be a much better team.  This will be a close affair in any case.

[Duque de Bragança]

1-0 for the Czechs before half-time.  Wrong pick so far.

[Duque de Bragança]

Very likely Goal of the Tournament for the Czechs: 2-0.

A bit unfair for the Scots, but it is perfectly legit. From the middle of the terrain, strong and precise shot.

My pick: 

[FunkMonk]

that was shick bro

[Tamas]

Not that I am watching, since it's a workday over here, but Scotts deserve A for effort, it's just that the Czechs are better.

[Duque de Bragança]

Scottish kick and rush tactics plus not so-great skill with ball is not enough vs tactically-wise and skilled Czechs indeed.

[Tamas]

Kurwa mach

Good day for Czechoslovakia.
