I think that what impressed me was that he judged the save so well after it bounced. He still had work to do to get to it as well, and to deflect it to safety. Many keepers wouldn't have achieved the last bit.
I've heard it called one of the greatest saves ever, which is stretching it, but I still thought that it was a great save. |
Yeah, okay Brian, I'll go with great save.
But on the BBC they're comparing it to Banks' save from Pele's header in the 1970 world cup. In fact I think the commentator also made that comparison last night. Which is absurd. |  |

Agreed, Hubble. Pure hyperbole. | |

It was a great save and considering the timing of it is what is causing everyone to go into full mouth-frothing excitement. Had it been done in the 23rd minute it would still have been a great save, just without the hyperbole. |  | | |

Fantastic game, with an incredible end. Bit gutted he saved it TBH because I could happily have sat there for 30 more minutes of that.
Football doesn't have to be this dull, backwards and sideways, Pep dirge. It can still be exhilarating and exciting. I'd watch that match 1,000 times over before I watch Russell Martin football once.
Also - turns out football can still be refereed like that as well. He really contributed to it. Terrific performance. |  | | |

An added twist to the Turkey Austria game, Merih Demiral is apparently under investigation by Uefa after his goal celebration. I had a read about the party he supports, the Turkish 'Nationalist Movement Party', not exactly a pleasant bunch.
Here's what happened, from the BBC:
"The Al-Ahli defender celebrated his second goal with a 'wolf salute', a gesture associated with the far-right extremist group Grey Wolves that are linked with Turkey's ruling coalition party the National Movement Party.
Demiral said the salute, which is banned in Austria and France, was pre-planned in case he scored.
"I had a goal celebration in mind, which I did," said Demiral.
"I am very proud because I am a Turk, therefore after the goal I felt it deeply and I wanted to do it, and I am very happy about doing it."

Well, clearly the Superbru result should be overturned to, let's say, 2-1 to Austria?
Right. Good. I'll tell UEFA. | |

Nope, that's gone over the top of me 'ead, Bri. What's the "Superbru result"? Is it something to do with the league you started?
Meanwhile, I read this morning that Phil Foden "feels sorry" for Gareth Southgate. Yeah, I think we all share that sentiment, Phil.
Anyway, there's an absolutely juicy game at 5pm tomorrow: Spain v Germany. I hope it lives up to expectations. | |

Seems unfair that one of Spain and Germany will be going home tonight and England are still in the competition  |  | | |

Lovely ball, and the late run by Olmo who 'slots' the ball home.
'Slots' is a quote from a friend on WhatsApp. It's the correct term for that finish, in fairness to him. A slot is firmer than a stroke. Matron. | |

Deserved equaliser for Germany.
Good to see the English ref book anyone who moves. |  | | |

I missed that! Which side?
There’s been a lot of body checks off the ball. Like watching Uruguay in the 80s. [Post edited 5 Jul 19:08]

Germany I think: he’s up to 11 bookings now so I’ve lost track.
In fact he’s just booked someone else who’s not playing but Matterface can’t identify them. | | | |

Musiala’s best moment just there. He’d regressed into his World Cup anonymous form otherwise. | | | |

That was quite the game in the end. Germany made so many good chances. They'd have absolutely f**ked our dads with play like that. |  |
