Can’t wait for every knockout game in European competitions to go to PKs come 2022

I love the away goals rule. Getting rid of it sucks.

I don't know what 75% of that means, but it sounds like this bains guy would fit in nicely in the pitt sports thread on 5af

Every fan loves it. So of course they had to get rid of it.

I remember when trick shot pool and then trick shot bowling became popular for like 2 weeks back in the 2000's. That reminds me of the bowling guys putting chairs on the lane and throwing a strike going through the legs of the chairs.

Yup. It adds a great twist that is fair too.

The "wait 5 minutes until the play is over" to call offside rule is asinine.

Giving up a goal? Unacceptable.

In all seriousness, though, absolute quality in every way from Chiesa on his goal.

Chiesa’s goal and that PFT post are both equally amazing

So uhhhh... How bout them Czechs?

This Belgium team isn't much without KDB to begin with, but it's also become really old.

What a shitshow this tournament is.

Postby **NTP66** » Sun Jun 27, 2021 5:43 pm

That was a sloppy second half, and Belgium were lucky to escape. I was certain that their shitawful pass on that 3-on-2 at the end would come back to bite them on the counter.

Despite the results and number one ranking, I just can’t view Belgium as a complete team when they have a trio of Alderweireld, Vertonghen, and Jude Law, ahem, I mean Thomas Vermaelen playing in their back line

Postby **shafnutz05** » Sun Jun 27, 2021 10:38 pm

Yup. Pyrrhic victory for Belgium. De Bruyne is the biggest loss by a good margin

I'm not going to jinx this... any team can falter, and I'd prefer Italy just bringing it to them for 90 minutes straight.
