Anyone else thinks Shaqiri looks like Harry Enfield?

Nah. It's Toivenen's birthday today, so he's bound to score.

Still don't understand why Zlatan was overlooked for this tournament, though.

Didn't he retire at the end of Euro 2016?

 

[Reynard]

Ooooh! That was close from Switzerland.

Best chance of the game so far.

 

[Dayvo]

Didn't he retire at the end of Euro 2016?

He did, but he is still good enough to play at the highest international level.

But a lot of sportsmen/women make comebacks.

He'd have played if he was picked.

BBC all day. ITV have got Roy Keane

I suppose the pictures are the same.

I've not watched enough to pick up on who has who for summarising.

Increasingly if I'm going to watch a game I turn the telly on a minute after kick off and turn it off at the final whistle.

One advantage of the BBC is you can change the commentary to the radio, although on a Sky box that disables the pause/rewind feature which can be handy to have.

 

[Reynard]

Oh... Dear...

 

[Dayvo]

Why didn't he, literally, use his head instead of trying to side-foot it in?

 

[Reynard]

Oh man, I didn't think footie shorts could stretch that much...

 

[Reynard]

Right, that's half time.

Very watchable for the neutral, but just that lack of quality in the box.

 

[Dayvo]

Right, that's half time.

Very watchable for the neutral, but just that lack of quality in the box.

Unlike cricket, of course!
