    Well played Georgia

    Listened to it on t'wireless.

    Sounds like the ref had zero truck with Portugal's histrionics. Booked one of their players for simulation as he 'left his leg in waiting for the touch'. 👏🏻

    If only more refs could see this 'tactic' as the pisstake it is?

    Presumably you meant to say with a 100% record rather than unbeaten.

    Regardless, it doesn’t really matter. It’s not how you start a tournament (assuming you get through the group stages) but rather how you finish it. I can’t be bothered to go back through previous tournaments but I suspect it’s not uncommon for a team to win the trophy even though they didn’t win all their group games.

    Apparently since the Euros started, out of all the teams who've won their groups with maximum points, only two have gone on to win the tournament.

    I seem to be in a minority of one with this....

    But I didn't think it was a penalty at all! He was slightly ahead,  saw the defender coming so almost jumped sideways. stuck his leg out and and took the contact. Should have been given a yellow card for initiating the contact.

    I too thought he was more interested in trying to get a pen than attempting to score. Serves them right.

    Always tough to make a white shirt interesting. 
     

    German national team usually make a good job of it (with the flag colours as detail).
