    Same, something about the group stages and Clive :D
    Very frustrated by France's start though, I'm going to try and find some other way of watching the match.

    Clive Tyldesley?
    I couldn't tolerate Emma Hayes earlier and had to put the radio commentary on, but struggled to sync it up :D
    Hub seems to be working again

    Possibly, if you're neutral or on the winning sides :D

    Absolutely not from my perspective, though absolutely up there from a neutral perspective.

    Having said that, I am sort of glad this has happened in an odd sense. France were almost cocky at times during this tournament and I feel it could well benefit them to be humbled - look what it did to them after last Euros’ final! Also have to mention Switzerland’s grit and determination, particularly Xhaka who played what is likely the game of his life.

    Yes guys, this was a historical evening (and could go on today, we'll see). Although I predict before that France will win this tournament (and would have bet my last cents on a victory against Switzerland), I'm absolutely not sad that I was wrong:D:p:D
    The only (little) complain I have is about Xhaka. Yes, he did a great match. Yes, he gave a wonderful assist to Gavranovic's 3:3. BUT: If you have someone who's always saying that he's the boss and someone who has announced that he has packed his baggage for the final, then I expect that he should have shot the penalty instead of Rodriguez (no matter what kind of deal were made in the team before, he should have taken his responsibility as a captain and leader). The more, as he wasn't even one of the 5 penalty shooters later on (what was - I must confess - maybe a good decision in the retrospect).

    @amur leopard: Who has the best football knowledge here and who was right about the predictions of ENG vs. GER???!!!
    To be honest: This is one of the moments where I wish that I was wrong...:mad:
    while I presume in the opposite that you are happy that you was wrong.;)
    However, as a fair sportsmen: Gratulations to the English Team.

    Haha I concede defeat ;). Having said this, both teams were atrocious and I'd be surprised if England won the whole thing.
    As for whether I was supporting England or not, perhaps, perhaps not ;).
