Just caught up on that penalty. Wat the fook was that?
Danilo should have done a Drogba, just to be extra sure.

Spain are the best coached side of all the “big sides” in the tournament. If they can be a bit more lethal, they would go far.

I am not surprised by Portugal leading, they are a tournament team and always do well in Euros and defending champion always find it difficult to win back to back, France also has a tendency to implode.

He didn’t get the ball. He completely missed it. It just so happened that it then deflected onto his hand afterwards.
I have to see it again but it looked like he just got there first in my opinion but you could be right.

It's a bit of a blow for keepers who actually like to come out and punch the ball if he did get it first.

Lloris got it as it came of danilos head
Keeper touched the ball before he hit the player. If that is now a pen then many close melees between the attacker and keeper will end in pen. Had keeper missed the ball and hit the player then yes, def pen. Touch the ball first then no way should it be a pen.

What if a defender and attacker jump very close to each other at the same time to head the ball in box. Defender gets the ball but in follow through bang his head on the attacker. Pen?

Punch the ball, not the head. He is allowed to go for it, but he should be careful with his aim.
Actually a replay on a different angle shows that it glanced off Danilo's head before he got it. Clear pen. Someone on BBC (Jenas?) suggested he got it first, and then took out the player with the follow thrugh

Ronaldo's dribbling attempts are funny to be honest. He's clearly not as agile anymore

Even if he clipped it first, I still think it’s a penalty. My view is it’s not a red because it wasn’t intentional or abnormally aggressive. But just as you’d give a foul if a defender is unintentionally late, Lloris should also be punished for simply being slightly late.

The punch was after he got the ball and a completely accidental collision. I get where it's coming from, the same argument is used for tackles where you get the ball and the man but it was just a freak incident.
If it was given more it might make keepers think before they throw their fist towards a players head.

Strange that France look so mediocre.
Strange? They always do. There is literally no great international team right now. Funny how people called Spain (08-12) boring when that team would walk this competition while every other 'big' team would park the bus and hold on for dear life. France need a proper manager, as do England and they would be by far the best. Its bad when Italy are the bastions of attacking football so far.

France and Hungary will both have same points and GD, along with drawing when they played H2H

Not sure what France are playing at. This is atrocious.

Penalty…? Looked soft initially
