*** Slovaks v Romania & Ukraine v Belgium - June 26th - Euro 2024 ***

Ukraine v Belgium....0-0...0-1...0-2

ive gone belgium win romania a draw

If Belgium win, you might see a late fix, but not the kind everyone assumes

Ukraine look very poor to me

Belgium is a better team, they were Fifa Ranking #1 few years ago.

Problem is that Ukraine seems to be on a "roll" to a degree, like South-Korea in 2002.

Was personally going to back Belgium but now I think I have to watch first and see what happens.

Different story is the Portugal - Georgia match, Portugal wins.....

Belgium are poor, but Ukraine are even worse. 2-1 Belgium.

High score draw favours Romania, but does nowt extra for Slovakia.

Belgium game English premier var alert, be prepared for  a long wait at some point

was that a shot on target for Lukaku? Wasn't much of a shot, but the keeper had to get in the way of it, I guess.

Fair play to all those Ukranian men in the crowd for taking a break in the fighting to go to the game.

Slovakia 1-0

Could be a pen Rom

... or free kick outside the box

*taps fingers*

Penalty

1-1

pem wow

draw is on

Shocking pen decision.

Var on the draw, never a pen

There was a foul outside box, and contact in box, but
the contact in box was not really a foul for me.

Belgium are not getting any better. Debrunye looks disinterested.

moreso than Bellingham?

Looked a soft pen. From what I could gather VAR made the decision and did not ask the ref to look.

Romania now top group.

Belguim into tough side of draw.

Correct aspro.

Well taken pen, too.

indeed

A bunch of overrated, poorly motivated Belgians managed by a Dutchman. What could possibly go wrong?

Ukraine have no firepower
They need help from
USA

Belgium have looked short of pace, but Ukraine appear clueless up front.

Rare decent header in the other game, a skill that's disappeared.

"they don't look like the 3rd best team in the world". That particular misapprehension was blown away years ago. They've been nowhere near it for donkey's years.

if its a choice of watching DOKU for 90 mins or sticking pins in my eyes, ITS THE PINS EVERYTIME WITHOUT A MOMENTS HESITATION

weve seen some cracking goals  this tournament but the standard of football is very poor

Teams are better at stopping others than they used to be.

Doku has at least tried a bit. More than can be said about most of his team-mates.

Lineker says the system is flawed. Not sure what to do. You could do 6 best top 2's and out of the remaining teams the four with the most points go through. But at the end of the day Ukraine lost 0-3 to Romania and this cost them.

is it the Russian front for the Many thousands of Men in the Crowd ?

Another good result for England,Belgium who they have a poor record against join France, Germany, Spain,and Portugal in the other half and the mighty Romania go in Englands half.

another pathetic display from the "mighty" Belgium. France will be licking their chops.

France hardly lit it up so far...

Won't take much to beat that lot. Looked for all the world like they didn't care if they went out.

It's unfair on groups that play first.

Fix landed with bonus for Romania of score draw being enough to top group.

Yep it was open, but likely always going to be levelled up.

Keep backing the draws.

wow Belgium now play France, what mugs.

Just saw the Romania "Pen". Agree with others a foul outside the box and contact in the box was not a foul.

I think it was a pen but he was smart and looked for it. He was past the Slovak after the first contact and didn't go down. It was the second contact that took him down and that was on the line. What was unusual is that they didn't send the ref to the monitor.
