Could be another thriller this one.

get in there, hopefully VAR won't rule it out

Anyone else struggling with itv hub tonight? Every other app working fine (WiFi good) but nada on the football...

Yes. He said about somebody - I missed who maybe Mbappe - he hasn't been to Burnley on a windy night to play against Mee and Tarkowski. Rather a compliment.

Tyldesley? Coming out with a hackneyed cliche? Surely not…

Outstanding header for the goal

And an inswinging corner from McNeil

Ooops, missed Dwight and he even got his first name included.

Its trending on Twitter so youre not alone in your experience

I was posting on this thread unaware I was 7 mins behind on the hub

Ridiculous refereeing there. Giving a free kick for something that he obviously didn’t see.

Yes, had to switch to from watching it on the iPad to watch on the telly. Said they had noticed buffering problems. Everything else working and a strong signal.

Agreed. That was bad wasn’t it

Stanbill05 · Post by **Stanbill05** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 8:27 pm

I’d take 7 minutes behind. I’m watching a Swiss corner on loop at 3 mins. Don’t need an aerial/ sat feed I said...

Mbappe is one of the most overrated players I’ve ever seen

Exactly what was happening to me.

Strangely I’m watching the France game in real time in the hub now ????

The itv hub is a crap app for live footy. I think it's probably something to do with it having more traffic than its set up for.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 8:42 pm

do France realise this isn't a pre-season friendly ?

Did anyone catch what Clive Tyldesley
Just said about Mee and Tarkowski?

He was talking about Varane, "Can he do it at Turf Moor on a wet, windy night against Barnes and Wood with McNeil inswinging corners in with Mee and Tarkowski"

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 8:50 pm

Game set up nicely for the second half. The France team 45 mins from elimination from the competition

He and McCoist are the best two commentators. Some of the others are terrible. But I dont quite why what be saud is a cliche. Matter if fact I would have thought.

Stayingup · Post by **Stayingup** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:07 pm

Keeganesque. I would love it if France get knocked out followed by Germany tomorrow.

Please be a penalty!

How did the ref miss that in the first place

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:11 pm

Peno check for the Swiss.

Edit....given.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:13 pm

Well this is shaping up to be an interesting evening, and you can bet your bottom dollar that ever other team still left in the tournament will be willing the Swiss on to complete this victory, France going out at this stage would really make it a wide open competition.

In that case come on Switzerland.

Pen to Switzerland, VAR calling it spot on so well done to them, now can they finish this game, No they can't, yet another penalty missed.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:13 pm

Game gonna turn now I reckon.

Hope we have the same good fortune against Germany tomorrow.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:17 pm

They'll probably win the tournament now.

If he's overrated what does it say about any English player currently playing?

None come remotely close to his goals and assists, not by a long way.

He plays against the equivalent of St. Mirren on a weekly basis

Amazing how quickly a football match can turn totally on its head, I guess that's why we all love this sport, But if Switzerland do go on to lose this tie they'll be kicking themselves on the journey home, you won't get many better chances to knock out the world champions and favourites in a major tournament then they've had tonight, and now the French have been woken from their slumbers it'll be tough for Switzerland to get back into this game I feel, but as long as it's only 2-1 they've still got hope.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:29 pm

If this is the Euros why is this game being refereed by an Argentine?

they did some sort of swap with a few refs I believe, I think there are some European one's doing the Copa America - sure that's what they said in a commentary in one of the previous games

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:32 pm

All over now, 3-1

27 goals in 31 Ligue 1 games last season with 7 assists for Mbappe.
23 goals in 35 PL games last season with 14 assists for Harry Kane.
