What a goal with only 20 odd seconds on the clock.

Incredible

Spain beating Albanian means England go through regardless of tomorrow’s result.
Maybe with the pressure off, they will relax and play. We can but hope.

Last kick of the game eek

How was there 8 minutes stoppage time anyway?!
Full subs for each side & lots of SH bookings. Still, eight mins seemed generous.
+ VAR review + penalty and a goal.

Still did seem generous...

Not sure about that. If we finish second we’ll play Germany next, would very much prefer to win tomorrow. biggrin

I'd forgotten about the pen & VAR. Prob about right adding it all together.

Repeat of Serbia game. One up early & then safety first for 75+ mins.

You can be off-side like that; better to play up-front without a boner.

Or…hear me out….score a flimsy early goal and then stick 11 men behind the ball defending the lead from deep…

Absolutely gutted for Modric and Croatia.

The team should string Perisic up by his nethers - what was he thinking trying to cross the ball on the volley in the 96th minute when they didn't need a goal?! Gave it straight to Italy! Just control it and keep it in the corner you utter plank.

I find the time keeping in Football baffling.I am surprised there is not a visible clock, controlled by the ref for breaks in play, so that everyone knows exactly how much time is left. When it gets to zero, blow the whistle. At the moment no-one really knows how long is left.
Rugby seem to manage with this system, obviously the game ends on a break in play, but the actual system is much clearer for players and spectators.

I've never watched a rugby match at one of the smaller clubs, say Maidenhead, Henley, Barnes etc. but do they also have the ref wired to the clock (not literally of course)? scratchchin

There have been 16 games played so far (As of Slovenia vs Serbia), and 6 goals have been scored in added-on time!

Seems like a high percentage of last-minute goals.

It makes it great for watching neutral games!
3 more goals scored in added on time!

Euro 2024 is the Fergie Time tournament.

No but pro teams and internationals certainly do. You will hear the ref 'time off' , 'time on'...

Lump on the Own Goals - I think that was the seventh OG of the tournament.
