Hmmm, question: Pens were taken in front of the English fans and England was shooting first... How could this happen? Isn't it usually one team picks side (usually their own) and the other one decides who shoots first (you should always shoot first, is it like a 61-39 advantage)
So what happened here?
Or is side predetermined and coin toss only decides order?
Two coin flips. One decided which side, the other who shoots first

Oh wow, that kinds sucks...

England haters in shambles
People looking at the last 10 minutes as evidence the Swiss were better,
they did nothing for massive chunks of that match
to be fair England didn't do that much either :D

Think this game is going to be goal filled, will be the only "entertaining" per se quarterfinal.

This is what a game looks like when both teams came to play football  At least the first 5 mins of one anyway. We'll see what happens

Well England were high pressing and up in Swiss half for 90% of that football match, not all teams can and want to play this offensively, can't blame Switzerland for sitting back.
Plus there is more than one way to skin a cat, the end result matters

Well, one team is a lot better at it.

The game has settled into a bit of one-way traffic, but at the start Turkey had some fast counteraction.
E: that said, both teams are playing a bit nervous. Lots of unforced errors.
E2: and agree with Smorrie below. The Spanish commentators keep gushing over him, but he has given away the ball twice so far allowing the Turks to break out in a way that could've been dangerous and hasn't done much positive to offset that. A shot that went wide...
E3: and now he gets a yellow for being stupid. His only redeeming quality so far is that he is still better than Wijnaldum!

Xavi really playing crappy so far >.< I feel NL is burning way too much energy in the first 20mins without output
|
We're playing worse by the minute
|
That was a deserved goal. Holland is a festival of errors.

Our world class defenders don't seem to be defending world class today.

Ehhhh, that was all Dumfries. First he gave away the corner and then he broke the offside trap. And I don't think anybody thinks Dumfries is a world-class defender. He's a dangerous wingback and can generate a lot of threat, but I wouldn't call him a world-class defender.

Feels like Van Dijk and Aké also aren't pulling their weight though. Aké gave away a corner earlier and Van Dijk's lost a few duels unless I'm mistaken.
Also finally we might see Weghorst early today.

Hope:
Depay -> Weghorst
Bergwijn -> Malen
Expect:
Simons -> Weghorst
and Wijnaldum being subbed in for some reason halfway through the second half.

Its so funny that teams play so bad especially against turkey.

Turkish corner kicks/set pieces are a goddamn weapon.
