Would the rain be interfering with vision? Never played sport in such heavy rain

DuncinToffee · 02/07/2024 21:39

It could affect the way the ball moves

And the ground gets stickier.

Villagetoraiseachild · 02/07/2024 21:46

More slips I mean.

Villagetoraiseachild · 02/07/2024 21:49

This is tense, can Austria equalise?
3mins left.

It will be bedlam in Berlin!

LadyShimura · 02/07/2024 21:55

Well, Turkiye fully deserved that.

kiterunning · 02/07/2024 21:55

Well played Türkiye!

AndNobbyDancing · 02/07/2024 21:55

I'm really pleased.

Villagetoraiseachild · 02/07/2024 21:55

Well done Turkiye, agree, well deserved!

burblish · 02/07/2024 21:57

That was a thoroughly entertaining match. What is it with the pitches, though? How do they play Bundesliga games all season long with the turf cutting up all over the place? Frankfurt and Gelsenkirchen/Schalke were even worse.

Acapulco12 · 02/07/2024 21:59

Wowww well done, Turkey!! That was a fabulous match. They should be very proud of themselves! I wish England played like that 😂😂

the80sweregreat · 03/07/2024 19:06

Turkey to win the whole thing maybe ?

Ha maybe! I wish! I’m not fancying their chances against Germany/Spain/France/Portugal, but I’m not going to put it past them to finish well!

Lots of speculation re whether Southgate will match Switzerland's favoured formation by switching England to a 3-5-2 set up, using TAA and Saka as wing backs. I think that could work well - Trent and Bukayo would have the freedom to drive forward and create, but also fall back when necessary to help defend. As always, it seems like it will all ultimately hinge on how effective the midfield will be. I hope he will give it a go, though. The flat back four isn't working and nor is the left flank Trippier/Foden combo, and creativity is stifled because players aren't making runs forward and so the ball ends up being played to feet backwards and sideways. [Edited to add: he switched to 3-5-2 in extra time in the Slovakia match but I wouldn't use the same personnel, necessarily.]

UEFA has banned Merih Demiral for 2 European Championship games due to his celebration vs Austria. He will miss Türkiye's match against Netherlands on Saturday.

I'm more of a lurker than a poster. But I recall people asking why this player had a net on his head. I thought this was funny 🤣
