You posted it 40 seconds before Brazil vs Venezuela kick-off on my stream

@toulousain beat the deadline by like 40 seconds!

Brazil vs Venezuela is about to kick-off

Congrats, Holland. There is hope Ukraine can still finish 2nd in group

And now they score two in 4 minutes

Yarmolenko with the goal of the tournament so far.

I always find it fascinating when nations start to demand a change in how other countries call them. It sure would be hilarious if we would start demanding that from now on in every language people should call us "Magyars" instead of some of version of "Hungarian". 

In Poland we often use the word "Magyars" (Madziarzy) instead of "Hungarians" when describing the people. Country name is still 100% Hungary

Pays Bas 2-0 up!

Holland leads!

525 minutes scoreless at the Europeans ...

 

just counting it here, because you know, there chance Slovakia can one day attack the record

Since Bednarek won't play tomorrow there goes your hope for some stupid ass penalty too

I remember when I was like 7 years old I saw the name Pays Bas during one game and I tried to figure out what a country name that is

Smart commentator

Nobody calls The Netherlands 'The Netherlands' in Poland. It's 98% Holland and 2% Oranje

Netherlands with 7 shots in first 10 minutes. Some hockey matches don't have as many!

Marcus Ericsson won the Detroi race yesterday and Pato O'Ward passed four cars in the last five laps to win the second race today.

Austria back in the lead.

Epic gift from Austria keeper. 1-1!

Austria scores after 18 mins.

It would still ensure that a team almost certainly can't advance to the next round without winning at least one match. The top teams are already in an easy position, with only 2 teams advancing from a group at least they can't away with not beating any of their second/third tier opponents, unlike Portugal in 2016. 

Italy didn't win a game in group stage in 1982 World Cup and still won the title Expansion to 32 teams will make the group stage even more boring IMO.

This is all the matches so far in a nutshell. I wonder if UEFA will ever make some chances, because having a group stage with 24 teams where 16 of them qualifies to the next round is just awful. There isn't any sense of urgency from many teams because they know they will most likely make it to the next round no matter what. And all of this is because 24 is a terrible number for this kind of a football tournament. 

 

The solution to this will probably be that UEFA will expand the EUROs to 32 teams in the future. 

This threatens we'll have 8 groups with two clear favorites and 3/4 of the matches in group stage will be one-sided nonsense if we get for instance England, Portugal, Albania & N.Macedonia. And that won't trigger any "urgency" either so we're back to square one.

Well, that was... Meh.

I believe Croatia has simply gotten old. Not enough youngsters breaking trough - unlike England. Vrsaljko is basically Trippier's backup at Atletico? 2018 WC was your high-water mark for this generation IMO.

England wins 1-0.

The winner of this group plays either or in Round 16 so Croatia might not be all that upset

Sterling scores! 1-0

England started like a house on fire and hit the post in 5th minute but things have settled down now.

Krejcikova/Siniakova win women's doubles 64 62.

Krejcikova becomes first player since Mary Pierce in 2000 to win RG in both singles & doubles. Also first player not named Williams to win GS singles/doubles at the same tournament in XXI century.

I'm surprised to find out that England have never won their opening match at the Euro finals.  Croatia to continue the streak today 

England actually missed some tournaments over the years, they downright sucked at others and they only drew 1-1 vs Switzerland in the home 1996 opener.
