yes he could have had a problem with his shoes like a lot of players tonight
but still, a second terrible match from the player who was supposed to be the star of the euro champs
what did the commentators say about martial's abysmal performance?

Was Giroud booed when he was remplaced by Gignac? Is it just my impression?
He did well but was unlucky. The last time he missed something he was so angry against himself, almost in tears maybe.

https://news.vice.com/article/how-russians-became-the-biggest-baddest-hooligans-at-euro-2016

The above article outlines some of the finer points of hooligan culture in Russia, for anyone who is interested.

Ive been following boxing and combat sports for my whole life, am an expert on that, and I can say without a doubt that Eastern Euros tend to be the strongest, toughest, and generally most knowledgable when it comes to combat sports and this is because combat sorts occupy a more accepted position within said societies. This is also why the best boxers of today globally (including Whites and nonWhites) are essentially all Eastern European (Russian, Kazakh, Ukrainian, etc.) There are some OK fighters from the UK but the quality is much lower than in former Soviet Union. This article literally notes that many of the Russian hooligans have advanced boxing or kickboxing training, and thats my whole point.

Because of this, it's no surprise that the Russian hooligans were able to beat up English supporters so easily in the brawls. Media reports have indicated many British fans were hospitalized in the fighting, and theres even photos on social media of Russians showing off bloodied English flags that they "captured" from England supporters. Every article Ive read suggests the Russians got much better out of the brawls than the English in fact it seems the English even ran from the stadium in Marseille in fear.

Many Russians in France are also complaining of an "anti-Russian" sentiment, and as an outsider (I am neither Russian, nor Brit, nor French) I have to say they are 100% correct and it is sickening the amount of bias against Eastern Europeans particularly Russians in this tournament. I infact just watched the BBC broadcast of Russia-Slovakia, and the English commentators from the BBC were brutal, talking about it being a boring game, both teams were just "ordinary sides", and consistently trying to discredit and slam the Russian players and manager by pointing out mistakes. This is the same type of White Englishman who would be over the top with compliments for British Negroes, French Negroes, and the like, hence the negative comments directed at Russians. You see these same British clowns in boxing where they try to support crappy UK negroes when the reality is the best fighters are in Eastern Europe. 2 Thumbs down to these types of Englishman, really are an embarrassment to Europe and this bias shown against the Russians and Slovaks by these Westerners is sickening but very predictable.

As far as Im concerned Eastern Europe is the most right wing and traditional part of Europe so Im happy to support it. You just know part of this anti-Russian bias also stems from a dislike of Putin and the fact the Russians dont accept gays and womens rights.

As for the matches: Austria-Hungary was awesome. Fantastic finish on the second Hungarian goal.

Slovakia's Hamsik was ruthless VS Russia. It was a great match and with a bit more luck the Russians could have had a draw.

Lol the Russian ultras don't exactly fight fair.I've seen videos of them doing the same thing to Poland supporters in Euro 2012.They are well organised,wear protective gear[some of them], masks and will storm into an area en mass maybe 100 to 200 in number and attack with iron bars and hammers.They hit everyone and anyone including an elderly French guy that was knocked out and a middle aged England fan that was beaten with iron bars.They then depart the scene quickly.Many of the supporters they attacked were drunk non hooligans.No ultra or firm member carries his teams colors but yet these were the supporters being attacked.So they were classic easy targets.Yesterday in Lille there were more confrontations but it seems the English and Welsh who joined forces were more prepared this time,not drinking as much and ready to retaliate against the Russian ultras.From what i've read on sites because the Russian ultras are so organised like a military unit [something that truly shocked many people]guys who used to serve in the British military even guys from as far as Scotland travelled to Lille not to start trouble but to retaliate against ultras.

It's dissapointiong to see so many western Euro nations fielding multi cult teams.The change has happened rapidly too.At Euro 96 20 years ago England started 1 black,France 2 or 3,Germany were all white.It's depressing on many levels not just with the darker teams but represents the demographic and cultural shift in these nations due to immigration and birthrates.Makes the tournament unwatchable for me.I'll only tune in if one of the all white teams make the final.

BoxingSpecialist is a Muslim troll. He knows as much about the hooliganism in France as he does about soccer - ie virtually nothing.

Gareth Bale with another goal from a free kick but, frankly, Joe Hart was to blame. He's a good goalie and he's saved England lots of times but he has to save that shot.

Sturridge and Vardy replaced Sterling and Kane at half-time. Both of them scored to give England a rare come-from-behind victory. Sturridge (not to be confused with Sterling:)) is already being declared the hero.

i didn't hear anything, but they booed him in matches where he scored before
still it's crazy to think about not starting him when you see that all the goal scoring oportunities came from his heading abilities so the haters will have to wait for a while before asking to bench him
it must have been a very frustrating match because there were hardly any good balls coming his way other than a few corner kicks or free kicks

england's goals have to be the ugliest of the tournament
it had to happen in a match with only premier league players involved
vardy's goal was horrible
did you see wale's black defender totally missing his header and giving the ball straight to vardy? it went in the oposite direction it was supposed to
on that goal a welsh defender (not sure if it was the same black or another black, or maybe a white player?) "cleared" the ball: the ball went into his own penalty area, into the feet of an english player!
both english goals were very scrappy

as for hart, he's a very promising goalkeeper because he saves things that only him, and the very best goalkeepers in the world could save
but he had to work on his weak poiints , and become more reliable to be part of the perfect goalkeepers
i don't see anything showing that he has progressed in these areas
he's still a very good shot stopper, and very imposing when facing strikers in 1 on 1, but he needs more to become like neuer, lloris buffon etc

You can say that again!

The obese mutt Ashley William,who seems incapable of maintaining his body balance,messed up big time to let Vardy score:

https://streamable.com/w5ht?t=17.8

One black player in the whole Welsh team and he's responsible for the first goal,what a surprise!Really Pathetic defending:hollering:

Sturridge's goal was such a mess as well:

https://streamable.com/2b6y


Regarding the Welsh goal,without taking any credit away from Bale,you have to say Hart was poor:

https://streamable.com/rum8

Like you said he's a reliable shot-stopper(normally) but he has never improved upon any other aspects of his game.The English seem no longer interested in training any goalies as they have the money to buy the best from the continent,and they know some or the other of their white goalies will eventually become good enough to represent them in international tournaments.

But the main talking point of the England game must be the pygmy Sterling who is really one of the most over-hyped players in World Football today.His miss would have put Balotelli to shame:

https://streamable.com/99g7

Had a very average season(very bad if we only count the league) and he starts for England,every time!
Also why on earth did Rashford travel to France and what the heck has he ever achieved in life to even get on to the pitch?11 appearances in his whole "Career" and 5 goals(all tap-ins) and you can play for England if you're black!

thanks for the video link lol: https://streamable.com/w5ht?t=17.8
it must be one of the ugliest goals of the euro champs
rooney sends an hopeless premier league-style ball in the penalty area (and a deflected one lol)
then it bounces off a defender, and another defender (he looks black from the video but i think he's white) clears the ball...not very far lol
then the black defender offers the goal to vardy, what an assist :campeon::D

Only one change to Germany's putrid lineup (Hummels over the white Muslim, Mustafi)...

ClF1EH-WYAAcDQV.jpg


What does Andre Schürrle have to do to crack the starting lineup? He was dazzling at the 2014 World Cup, with all of his goals occurring after coming off the bench. Without his legendary run and assist on Götze's goal against Argentina, Die Mannschaft surely would never have won the World Cup in Brazil...


I'd start Schürrle over Draxler, Schweinsteiger over Khedira, and Mustafi over Boateng.

I'm rooting for Poland in this one. How does one root for a "European" team with 6 non-whites on the roster...7 if you count Mustafi. Pathetic.

low is trying to get more attention by making illogical choices
this way he will be a celebrity and get more attention than his players

i was waiting for someone to post this video

but i really think that he tries to grab attention by making these choices
it's not the only reason why he does it, but a part of it i believe

i think the anti white choices must come from the head of the federation, it must have been a part of his job to make the team more young and less german and he has done it with great pleasure but like rebajlo said before it wouldn't change by just firing him

Milik the pillock. His misses against Germany were shocking at this level.

Norn Iron defeated Ukraine 2-0. They made six changes to the line-up that failed against Poland last Sunday. They brought on Josh Magennis, the only black man to ever play for NI, near the end. He helped set up the second goal very late on with a nice move inside instead of taking the ball to the corner flag as usual. Although it worked out this time I couldn't help but think it was a typical black move to instead of consolidating the win try to make a big play that gets attention even though it risked losing possession and giving the opponents one last chance.

I wonder if that prick Podolski would've sung the Polish national anthem had he been on the starting line-up. He, along with the other 3 "Germans" Ozil, Khedira, and Boateng are always mum during the German anthem. F*ck 'em all is what I say, and Loew too for his mandatory non-white, non-German quotas on the roster.

It's getting harder and harder to root for Die Mannschaft.

Germany deserved this draw (I wish they'd have lost) and I hope that somehow, someway, they lose to Northern Ireland next week, Poland beats Ukraine, and Germany misses out on advancing from Group C.

Too bad Klose, Lahm, and Mertesacker are retired from international play, various quality Germans were left out for no good reason other than filling a diversity quota, and the talented Marco Reus was injured.
