Ah yeah they have to take 5 that's it, knew there was something. I don't know cause the only ones I ever 'saw', I could barely watch through my fingers since it was always England v Germany....

In any event, little as I know about football I'm pretty sure any penalty shoot-out results in a score of at least 5 for one team whichever way you slice it.

Netherlands 2 - 0 Czechia Belgium 1 - 1 Portugal

Conversely an ability to post here does not mean there is intelligence at work. This has been proven many times over the years.

Am I the only one who looks at "who" wrote something and factors that in when determining whether a comment is serious or not? Sometimes I fear so.

They're pulling out of Afghanistan, there's a trillions of dollars defence industry / arms manufacturing gravy train to maintain. They release this now? Co-incidence? I think not.

Nvm that. It's been yankified, that's Fahrenheit, yech. Well either that or global warming is speeding up a bit.

I forget, is this game the same as bookies? I.e. Score at 90 mins not AET? I'd always assumed so and if so pens wouldn't count anyway? Naturally if that's not the case and it does include ET then, as you were .

Wales 1 - 1 Denmark (same AET and Denmark win 5-3 on pens, Bale doesn't miss his though) Italy 2 - 0 Austria

Always a fan of Pass Notes in the Guardian. One that was probly pacifically designed to push the nucular button of @Toast @time @The Quim Reaper (and indeed myself) today. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jun/23/annoying-mispronunciations-do-they-make-you-go-nucular-probly

Is there a single Christmas song that would be played at any other time of year simply because it's good enough and you want to hear it? I struggle to think of one.

Slovakia 0 - 1 Spain Sweden 1 - 0 Poland Germany 1 - 0 Hungary Portugal 1 - 2 France

Scotland appear to have gone missing. Oh wait, that's not news. Not so sure for Czechs.

It's nearly possible to watch MK's growth here from adolescent to young adult just by noting the improved subtlety of his digs and change up from outright rude to mere sarcasm. Amusing.

Croatia 1 - 0 Scotland Czech Rep 0 - 2 England

North Macedonia 0 - 2 Netherlands Ukraine 1 - 1 Austria Finland 0 - 2 Belgium Russia 0 - 1 Denmark

Italy 1 - 0 Wales Switzerland 1 - 0 Turkey

Bang on.* *All previous disagreements between us stand. For fun if nothing else. But this? Much as I might want to... cannot disagree.

A pint of whatever grog is your choice says you won't ;).

You'll have to actually score though to progress. I know fuck all about football (or to you, the fitba), pride myself on it, but garbage as England were, another draw will probably be enough. Scotland have to actually score.

Goddamn jumped up colonial, what do you know? Go back to your rounders, netball and rugby for girls with body armour.

Sweden 1 - 0 Slovakia Croatia 1 - 0 Czech Republic England 1 - 0 Scotland Hungary 0 - 1 France Portugal 1 - 0 Germany Spain 1 - 0 Poland

I always think of it as yankspeak.
