The match between Belgium and Sweden is suspended right now. Two Swedish supporters were shot dead before the match.

What are the odds the suspected shooter is a Muslim?

Dear lord, we are terrible Completely helpless...

 

If by some miracle we will go there, that would be only for doing the punchbag... jesus, what a bunch of football walkers we are

Swedish fans take off their Swedish jerseys. They are afraid to have them after the deadly shooting of two Swedish supporters in Brussels.

The shooter is from ISIS as per some reports. How this can happen in an European city & on football fans is beyond belief. What is Europe turning into? Complete failure from the Belgian police. Thoughts are with the victims family & all Swedish fans stuck inside the stadium fearing for their safety!
Complete lawlessness.

I did not see the full match so I can't say much, and I'm sorry about the laser.

 

It's disappointing to lose 1-0 to both France and the Netherlands because each team got awarded two penalties against us and each team had the first penalty saved but scored the second. Some of the calls were questionable too if we're being honest, and this certainly does not disprove some theories that UEFA favors certain "powerful" nations over others.

 

We've played well this campaign and deserve to qualify based on that. Hopefully we don't mess up in the playoffs.

Highly likely it will be Georgia vs Greece for a place at the euros.

The lasers were there at every important moment, like both penalties, unfortunately. Luckily for Greece the first one was taken by Weghorst, who took the Poorest Penalty of the Year Award  

 

Didn't really see questionable calls yesterday to be honest. Both penalties were clear penalties, Greece was lucky the clear foul after 96 minutes or so didn't end up in another one (the guy attacked, I believe, Dumfries and then coincidentally slightly brushed the ball with his foot afterwards)...

 

I would imagine Greek fans must have been incredibly annoyed with Gustavo Poyet as well? He was asking to be sent off all the time, and was lucky he only got it in the last 2 minutes or so...

 

I do agree Greece deserves to qualify in the end (more so than the Netherlands, by the way), so hopefully it works out through the playoffs. Shouldn't be too much of an issue though, the luck of being in league C
