Nah cannot stand an American doing var commentary! They have no idea about football

Didn't the US women win the world championship a few times? Some American women must know a bit about football (even if they call it soccer).

BTW, I didn't hear the commentary you are talking about. I watch TV with the sound off.

DuncinToffee · 15/06/2024 09:57

The commentary was explaining the VAR decisions. That part was already a bit strange imo but having a American doing it at the Euros was just odd.

I don't think it needs be done during the match, leave it till afterwards.

US Women have indeed won the World Cup multiple times and Christina Unkel is very knowledgeable and experienced

Christina Unkel
An American former referee turned analyst, Unkel has been a regular face on CBS’ soccer coverage in the United States as a refereeing analyst – the same role she will fulfil for ITV.
Unkel is also the president of brand-new club Tampa Bay Sun, who will compete in the new-look American women’s second tier when it gets under way later this year.

I thought they called it soccer. Was irritated by her

Was everyone else pleasantly surprised that there were only 3 added minutes?

I suspect the Scots were rather more relieved than surprised! (Wishing them better luck in their other group matches - I would love to see them get through to the next round.)

FT Hungary 1-3 Switzerland

Deserved win for Switzerland for me.

Me. ⚽

LadyShimura · 15/06/2024 17:03

I'm here aswell. Hoping for a good game for this one.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 15/06/2024 17:04

Hooray. I'm supporting Croatia!

Floralnomad · 15/06/2024 17:11

I’m watching . I am looking forward to the BBC having the coverage as I find a few of the ITV people highly annoying including Roy Keane and Ally Mccoist . I thought the American woman explaining things was totally unnecessary and I did feel that the commentators have been told to refer to her as opposed to actually wanting her opinion . On another note I really can’t see Scotland beating either Hungary or Switzerland on the performances so far , do Scotland have a better goal keeper hidden away somewhere?

I'm out, but bet for Spain to win tonight in my work competition.

Two lovely goals from Spain

Ouch. Ball to the face at close range.

Whinge · 15/06/2024 17:42

Oww that was close.

LadyShimura · 15/06/2024 17:43

Very close.

Whinge · 15/06/2024 17:48

3-0 to Spain

It's going to be difficult for Croatia to come back from this.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 15/06/2024 17:48

Oh no poor Croatia! I said it's going to be like Scotland all over again 😱

LadyShimura · 15/06/2024 17:50

I expect more from Croatia, tbh. They just keep giving Spain too many opportunities.

DuncinToffee · 15/06/2024 18:35

I am enjoying this game and really impressed with Spain

Whinge · 15/06/2024 18:38

Oww this is getting interesting.

LadyShimura · 15/06/2024 18:39

Bit of a stupid move there. Actually, looks like he tripped himself.
