  1. Mihaila breaks through the Belgian defence and has a great chance but his shot goes over the bar.
  2. Dennis Man cuts in and has shot from long range saved by Casteels right at the start of the 2nd half.
  3. Dragusin of Tottenham has still been one of my defenders of the tournament so far. He's a very influential defender, despite his young age.
  4. Well that was a great start from Belgium and they showed some lovely attacking moves in that 1st half. But Romania despite conceding so early, have created chances themselves. They play like a real team unit, that's for sure.
  5. Very few of these players play in Romania, they mostly play in Italy, Spain and Turkey. But many were in demand for transfers before this tournament. However, their performances so far at these Euros will have increased the demand for them.
  6. Dragus hesitated too long then delivered a poor pass in a good position. But the Romanian tackling has been good.
  7. Dennis Man has shot at goal aimed at the near post is saved by Casteels.
  8. Doku has a shot at the near post from an acute angle saved by Nita.
  9. Tielemans has justified the managers decision to start him today with that goal. Lukebakio has also looked very lively and has done well so far.
  10. Lukebakio cuts inside and shoots, forcing Nita into an excellent save!
  11. A powerful header from Dragusin from a lovely cross, is excellently saved by Casteels!
  12. What a strike by Tielemans! That's just the start Belgium wanted! Belgium 1-0 Romania
  13. The commentator makes a mistake saying Belgium have made 3 changes to the side that started against Slovakia, when in reality 4 changes have been made from that match for Belgium.
  14. Belgium make 4 changes to the starting line-ups that started against Slovakia. Lukebakio, Tielemans, Vertonghen and Theate all start in place of Trossard, Mangala, Debast and Carrasco. While for Romania, they only make one change from the team that started against Ukraine, as Parma's Mihaila starts in place of Florinel Coman on the wing. Belgium: GK: Casteels - RB: Castagne, CB: Faes, CB: Vertonghan, LB: Theate - CM: Tielemans, CM: Onana, AM: De Bruyne, LW: Doku, RW: Lukebakio - CF: Lukaku Romania: GK: Nita - RB: Ratiu, CB: Dragusin, CB: Burca, LB: Bancu - DM: Marian Marin, DM: Razvan Marin, AM: Stanciu, LW: Mihaila, RW: Dennis Man -CF: Dragus
  15. Looking forward to this game and seeing how it plays out. Romania are really hard to break down and attack in numbers on the break, they have the skill-full players to do damage when they attack. While Belgium boast a plethora of skilled attacking players who will be going for the much needed win today, seeing as they lost their opening match against Slovakia.
  16. He might be 41, but he's obviously playing on merit. Pepe has been very good in Portugal's opening 2 games of these Euros.
  17. Very annoying and it makes you wonder why the stewards are failing in their job so many times.
  18. An easy win for Portugal and they advance to the Round of 16. Turkey 0-3 Portugal
  19. Bernardo Silva prevented from scoring his 2nd goal as the Turkish keeper dives at his feet and grabs the ball. Silva has been great.
  20. It's easier not to look dull when you're playing against a side like Georgia, the lowest ranked team at Euro 2024 and a side that will give you a lot of space. It's much more difficult for a side like Turkey not to look dull when they are playing a team much stronger than them in Portugal. In all honesty, I think this is the easiest group, with Portugal the obvious strong side in it. Georgia and Turkey don't impress me that much at all and are probably both among the weakest 3 teams in the whole competition. They battle hard, but you can tell that the quality is limited from these 2 teams, compared to most of the other sides in this tournament. While the Czech Republic are the youngest team at these Euros and are clearly a team in transition and one for the future.
  21. Portugal break past the the Turkish defence, Ronaldo then squares the ball to Fernandes to tap home Portugal's 3rd goal. Turkey 0-3 Portugal
  22. Portugal have a comfortable 2 nil lead at half-time. They look like they are on their way to the Round of 16. Turkey 0-2 Portugal
  23. Turkey have a long range shot and Costa saves, but it looks like the shot was going wide anyway.
