Great goal by the Czech’s

As a huge West Ham fan, I’m following our guys in Euros so I’m hoping the Czechs do well. Heck of a cross by Coufal on that goal

Brave header by Finland. Goal called off due to offsides by an arm

Set my DVR to catch my team, Ze Germans, but I foolishly already saw the score vs France. Group F is ridiculous with Germany, France and Portugal.

Don’t know how that worked out. France looked a bit underwhelming, as did Portugal who was my pick to win. Belgium and Italy look the best thus far IMO.

I thought Turkey had some dark horse potential but Italy just tore them apart in the second half. They might not have the flashy names like past good Italian teams but they definitely look the part of contenders.

The midfield is very solid. Barella is a star in the making and Jorginho has been great for club and country recently. Verratti can’t even get in the team. And Insigne, Immobile and Berardi are a good trio up top

I've always loved Bale. He's still so good, but then again he's only 31. Feels like he's 40.

Edit Lol then he drew and shanked a penalty.

Guy gets absolutely blasted by a shot to his nuts and the Turkey guys are like get up, get up. Like they would be getting up that fast after that.

Didn't Portugal win 3-0? I didn't see the France - Germany match yet, but while the Germans have been very off form and need to integrate new players, they are always somewhat formidable. The GK alone ensures that.

England and France were the betting odds leaders at the start 5-1. Belgium next at 6-1. Italy was evidently a bargain at 9-1.

Garbage call against Italy to take the goal off. Great team goal by Italy immediately after

Yes they won 3-0 but all goals in the 85th + I believe. Ronaldo was pretty much invisible until he got his goals, which I know is weird to say since he got a brace but he still didn’t play that well. I think they just lines up wrong from the start, they went with 2 holding mids against a team they knew would just sit deep the whole game hoping for a draw. Sanches should’ve started.

I’m having so much fun watching this Italian team. I don’t remember an Italian team play with this much speed and skill, both defensively and offensively

This a new Azzurri that we have never seen before. Really exciting to watch with their creativity and speed. The defense is still solid, but midfield and up front are all team players who might not have that name recognition yet.

Easily the most impressive team thus far in the tourny. Hopefully they can stay this sharp in the knockout stages. No choking like in 2016.

Locatelli and Barella are definitely future stars, if they aren’t already. Combine that with the calming and tactical presence of Jorginho right next to them, and it’s a formidable three. Verratti who? I kid, of course; he’ll certainly help make them even better, if he’s healthy.

Let's not forget the new Gianluigi racking up the clean sheets.

Kicking myself for not going with my gut and taking Immobile to be the top scorer at +1600. They’re rolling right now for sure.
