Portugal on the charge

It would be atrocious if Spain lose to any of these sides

Boring

Turkey is upset with this decision. While the two cases are not exactly the same but yeah if Bellingham did an inappropriate celebration and deserves a suspension it should be in the Euros like that Turkish player.

Bro I'm only mentioning what the commentators said.

Why France ?

The commentators from where I was watching were saying he had moved his arm quite inward when ball made the contact so no penalty.

First time host country lost a QF in Euros

Bellingham also penalized for obscene celebration vs Slovakia. Will play the Euros but suspended for one match.

big occasions = SF Finals QFs

Likely to be the most boring QF

caused a bit of diplomatic row this incident and not unexpected if Turkish players do that celebration again. Reminds of that eagle celebration Xhaka Shaqiri did back in the WC against Serbia that caused similar drama.

This is discrimination against politicians

I think Spain were good at the last WC. They wasted a lot of chances against Morocco plus a little luck was not on their side.

best chance for Switzerland to reach a semifinal

Turkey's position on this symbol is somewhat understandable but like Swastika it is now tainted regardless if it has been in use way before in other meanings.

Will be a good game but not a goal fest people are anticipating. Spain will win, like they have against Germany on big occasions over the past years.

Turk nationalist mobs are attacking Syrians refugees in Turkey. Some have been killed. The main impetus for this xenophobia is the shit economy under Erdogan and naturally people just find an easy scapegoat for venting their anger. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/7/2/protests-and-arrests-as-anti-syrian-riots-rock-turkey Riot is a very wrong word to frame these racially driven mobs which media does so often imo it gives the impression that there is equal monopoly on violence which is not the case most often. Just call them violent attacks if pogrom is too strong a word
