Men's Football UEFA European Championship 2020


Recommended Posts

Well I understand staying in defence and looking for counterattacks against Italy but I think we overdid it with the fear of losing the first game. We need to have better counterattacks in the second half. Also I also think it was a penalty, it is a shame the hand rule is still not clear after 150 years of football history. They should stop changing it it.

Haven't see such a tight fortress since the last season of Vikings :d A tennis ball from Djokovic/Nadal couldn't pass in the front goal-line space.

After VAR changing it is the only right thing to do or we'll keep on seeing a ton of random penalties. I'm happy!

Good thing they didn't give a penalty to Turkey after 40 minutes or so for some nonsense trip and Italy a few minutes later for some Italian shooting the ball against a Turkish arm. That'd have set an annoying precendence for the whole tournament.

 

At least I didn't see the referee go to a screen, instead he just listened to the VAR it seems. Finally some improvement in football's incredibly botched VAR system? :p

Well, now defenders know that they can occupy a lot of space with large arms to intercept crosses and will exploit this rule, they'll change it back soon. This kind of handball has always been punished, way before VAR.

    • Some notable  retirements:   Elisavet Pesiridou (athletics - 100m hurdles) - She announced her retirement on her 34th birthday. She competed in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. She narrowly missed Paris 2024 despite being in good form, the rest of he field seemed to get stronger and her ranking was a bit lower even though she was quite consistent. She struggled with injuries in 2025.   Fani Tzeli (taekwondo) - She was 7th in Tokyo 2020 but didn't qualify for Paris 2024. Still, she is only 24 yo and seemed to be rising up again after winning bronze at the European Championships so it is a bit surprising.   Aikaterini Divari (sailing) - She competed in Tokyo 2020 but didn't qualify for Paris 2024. Only 25 yo.   AJ Ginnis (alpine skiing) - Despite winning a silver at the World Championships he never got to compete at the Winter Olympics as he was always unfortunately injured. A shame as he is by far our best winter athlete ever. Only 31 yo, and I have a feeling he might come back in 2030 based on his last interview...

    • Well.  Having gotten it a bit at a distance a few comments about my experiences   Travel: Very happy. Flying to and from was a breeze (the plane home slighty delayed). The same can be said about getting around in Milano. Getting around outside was of course slightly harder, especially with some delays back from Antholx (but i guess that's not a big surprise when a lot of people leave a place in the mountains)   Atmosphere: Very happy around the venues, but it's also very clear that it's smaller than the Summer games. People weren't following the events wherever you went. Alcohol certainly made a difference between Paris and now. Sadly did experience a few who should certainly have stopped a couple of beers earlier.    The logistics at the venues:  Very easy to see that Santagiulia is new and absolutely not a perfect venue. Seems like some kinks were fixed when I got there, but there's still stuff to work out. The food at the Milano venues were meh and there were quite some lines. Tesero was a chaos when it came to getting food, but the quality was slightly better at the skiing venues.
