Decent game this. North Macedonia may be the smallest nation but they aren't the worst side in this tournament.

Cracking tournament for the refs.
Indeed. I think the common consensus has always been VAR it’s self isn’t the problem, it’s the sheer incompetence of the officiating in the Premier League. It worked fine in the world cup too. Give a set of fools a really good drill they are still going to cut themselves. The problem is & always has been the refs themselves.

Macedonia are a bit like Leeds. Shite, but not afraid to attack a bit.

Really enjoying Macedonia in this tournament.

Maybe the Nations League wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Penalty shoot outs are going to end 1-0 in this tournament.

I’ve been very impressed with the European refs as well.

I’ve been a massive hater of VAR, I think I always will be, but if we can get our refs up to this sort of standard it will be much more acceptable to fans like myself who currently detest it.

Ronaldo the only one to score his penalty from the five given right?

Macedonia is showing that just because you have the weakest squad from the competition doesn't mean you have to play poor football.

Ukraine set up a winner qualifies decider with Austria unless the Austrians upset the Dutch and qualify tonight.

North Macedonia have got nothing to feel ashamed. Given a really good account of themselves and played some really nice stuff.

They could play out a draw and both qualify.

That’s a possibility but not a guarantee. Looking at the group tables, a lot of teams could still finish on 4 points in 3rd place and it could come down to GD on who advances.

Yes, that 5th grade logic is precisely why Denmark should be afraid of Belgium. No other , objective reasons such as individual quality.
