Match 47: Czech Republic V Denmark - Saturday 5pm (ITV) live from Baku Olympic Stadium

[The_jagster]

This hasn't been brilliant but the Czechslook like Schick plus 9 other outfielders, Denmark are finding it far too easy to take it past their midfielders in a 1v1 and they can't create much.

That was such a nice second goal.

England definitely favourites but Czech getting through would have been much better for them.

Of course.

How is England part of this group? 

How are they not? 

Not like there's been a crap ton of amazing teams. It's been a really fun tournament but not many standout sides. 

[Nordan]

Let's see if there's a dramatic turn of events, after all 2-0 is dangerous.

3-1 has replaced 2-0 IIRC

[Smallen]

Pougatch is intolerable.

I don’t even hear what he says. It’s all just incredibly annoying noise.

Czech have started well.

They have. Here's to hoping they can get it to 2-2, go to ET and win it from there.

3 challenges a match is not much and it could prevent such things as this unfair referee decision that resulted in a goal

[DJ]

That was coming

Comeback on...

[GunmaN1905]

There it is, Czechs not giving up.

[Rebs]

Oooooooooooo game on

[Heartwork]

GAME ON

[Pukey]

There's the goal back! Schick is great isn't he?

[craigcwwe]

Game on!

Schick with his 5th goal of the tournament now.

I think England have been great....not crazy exciting or adventurous, but we have controlled every match apart from the Scotland game and made it seem fairly straightforward....I thought the game against Germany was exceptionally good for the way we rectricted them apart from the Muller chance overall.

The Muller chance wasn't a one off though. Rice was lucky when Goretzke got in behind, and Werner got in behind a couple times as well. So while you generally limited Germany's chances, you were exposed with big chances far too easily for how defensively you were setup. 

[Darius1998]

Has been coming.

[Orzelek]

Schick scores

 

Wake up, Denmark!

[Rebs]

Schick's off to Barca to replace Messi ain't he?

[craigcwwe]

Danes still in the changing room. 

[georginho_juventusygr]

Schick is back!

[Haguey]

Well then!

[Heartwork]

Schick is more or less a dead cert for Golden Boot at this point is he not

[XuluBak]

Great start to second half for Czechs.

I don't think we were defensive.  You can play a game where you aren't defensive but also not be all out attacking.  I thought we played well.

In this tourney. Don't think he's ever looked this good when I've seen him before.

[craigcwwe]

Braithwaite must slap himself in the face every morning when he gets out of bed wondering how on earth he's about to head into Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

Not yet. The first tiebreaker is assists. Ronaldo has one assist , Schick doesn't have any.

Schick still needs to score one more to deny Cristiano the Golden Boot.

[Darius1998]

Braithwaite has the speed of a horse. Unfortunately, he's also got the technical ability of one.

[Haguey]

Ronaldo winning the Golden Boot is like his own personal Euro's, so he'll probably be quite pleased by how it all went.

[Heartwork]

Krmenčík forgot the winning tactic of "pass it to Patrik" there

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

Who gets the golden boot when tied? Player with fewer games? I think it should go to the one with fewer penalties

Ebsjerg, Toulouse, Middlesborough, Bordeaux, Leganes.....Barcelona.

I reckon it should go down who scores one brilliant goal

Indeed. He's a 10-goals a season striker in the Bundesliga, and at no point has he ever looked as good as this EURO

I am still struggling to understand why Barca, signed him in the first place

It's first on assists, then fewest minutes per goal.

Ronaldo leads Schick 1-0 on assists. Even if Schick does get one assist, he'd still be behind on minutes, so like I said, he needs another goal.

Braithwaite is what people pretend Sterling is, isn't he?

Braithwaite is a donkey.

He was bought outside the transfer window iirc, some sort of emergency buy.

Game over for Čelůstka then.

It was "the perfect storm" with Barca needing a striker, getting an exemption from the Spanish FA to make a transfer outside of the transfer window, the exeption was only for players based in Spain etc.

 

There are bigger chances of winning the national lottery

They got the exception because they are Barca too, not so sure Leganes would've been afforded the same treatment if the roles were reversed.

Here comes Tomáš "Terry Butcher look" Souček look

Correct. Emergency signing for Dembele. A LaLiga absurdity. Pretty much ensured Leganes went down.
