Austria vs Switzerland in the semi final should be a cracking game.

Germany vs Denmark, Clive Tyldsleys last game commentating for ITV which is a disgrace.

Never seen a game suspended for lightning before, that's a new one.

You'd be surprised. Ukraine v France at Euro 2012 was suspended for nearly an hour due to storms, and our friendly against Honduras in Miami in 2014 was suspended for about 40 minutes or so due to lightning.

A Blackburn match was stopped after the lightning conductor tower was struck in the corner of the old stadium.
It came down like the scene in The Omen.
All the priests in the crowd were shaking.

Why are ITV1 showing Accrington Stanley?

Bellingham's goal made us react so loudly we made the child burst into tears

Hugely disrespectful to lower league football that .

This was much worse

Teams with this kind of luck tend to do well though . Look at Portugal 2016

I've watched plenty of lower league football (including Northampton occasionally) and I know full well how good it is, I made the Accrington Stanley comment solely because of the old "Accrington Stanley, who are they?" meme.

I’ve said exactly the same tonight. We’re scraping by without playing well. Imagine what could happen.

Portugal, Greece both teams that didn’t play well when they won the competition
