PBP: MLS N&A Running USMNT and other International Games Thread {R}

I repped the post and then saw who posted the X(-crement) and unrepped the post.

I'm afraid, when ravers learn that Dutch dj's are leading the crowd, they en masse are coming to join

 

I haven't been able to watch all the Euro24 games (I don't have Fubo), but the ones I have been viewing have been sleep-inducing affairs. Currently, Portugal vs. Czechia. Rain is a factor, for sure, but Portugal looks less than impressive...reminds of St. Louis City (the 2024 version)!

 

And right on cue...Czechia take a stunning 1-0 lead. For all the possession, shots, and run of play Portugal have been dominating in this match, they lack anything close to quality around the Czech goal.

 

Go-ahead goal for Portugal is wiped out by VAR (offside).

 

Now that one counts! 2-1 POR.

 

Good. I don't want a toothless 25% possession team to get rewarded for it.

 

I just feel the Czechs got ripped off on that one. Portugal's last goal was seconds after an obvious foul wasn't called (I'm guessing the ref was screened from it). The Czechs should have had a free kick deep in Portugal's end. Instead, Portugal take it up the field and score.

 

But it didn't last as Albania equalizes in stoppage time.

 

The second half of Croatia-Albania was terrific.

And look, a terrible Scottish backpass leads to a stunner from MLS's own Shaqiri.

 

MLS quota paying off for Switzerland!

 

Shaqiri has almost certainly played his last game in Chicago, but he becomes the first MLS player to score in a Euro Final.

Where has that been, whoever's left at Soldier Field asks...#Euro2024 #CF97
