• Euro 2024 MD 6 HRV - ALB, GER - HUN, SCO - CHE [R]

    From Real_Mardin@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 19 12:43:30 2024
    Croatia - Albania about to start. Both teams needing a win here given
    they each lost their first match and have one of Italy or Spain coming
    up in match 3.

    10 minutes - Albania cross from the right, Laci rises to head the ball
    and guide it past the Croatia keeper - 1-0 Albania!

    They took the lead against Italy too - can they hold it this time?

    HT Croatia 0 - Albania 1


    Albania doing a good job of containing Croatia and have even created a
    few further chances to score.

    63 minutes - the vast majority of the attacking pressure has been from
    Croatia in the second half. Can they make the breakthrough?

    94 minutes - Albania had been knocking on the door, including missing a
    half open goal when a shot rebounded from the keeper - one of those "how
    did he miss that?!?!?" moments - and just as it looks their efforts
    might have been in vain, a low cross from the left finds Gjasula who
    shoots low through the legs of a Croatian defender to make it 2-2!


    FT: Croatia 2 - Albania 2


    A thoroughly deserved point for Albania.

    A good match and a fair result but with only one point on the board and
    Italy and Spain to play this result may have effectively eliminated both
    sides.

    Kit update: Croatia in red and white checks, but the squares are larger
    than in previous seasons, so it's about four large red checks as opposed
    to a chessboard type effect.

    We're not used to seeing Albania in international competitions but
    they're wearing a black away kit with red trim. It wouldn't look amiss
    as a Bournemouth or Genclerbirligi away kit.

    73 minutes - Croatia make the pressure pay off - they work the ball into
    the box, Kramaric plays the ball though the legs of a defender and into
    the net! 1-1!

    KIT UPDATE:

    The run of decent and tasteful kits has been brought to a crushing end
    by the hosts Germany, who have turned out in an abomination which is
    pink on the top half merging into purple on the bottom half. Quite aside
    from looking a mess, it bears no resemblance to their national colours.


    Hungary in their tasteful white away kit with red and green trim (you
    know - their national colours?).

    21 minutes, German build up play finds Musiala in the box and his shot
    puts Germany 1-0 up. I have to say I thought there was a foul by
    Gundogan in the build up, but there has been a goal check and the goal
    stands!

    Germany have qualified for the second round!

    Hungary can still qualify but with 0 points and a minus 4 goal
    difference their chances look bleak.

    I have Hungary going through with 3 points in my pool. But then I also
    have Switzerland drawing with Scotland. I did actually predict the
    Swiss to beat Hungaria and then to draw with Germany in the final game.

    66 minutes good build up play by Germany sees them work the ball into
    the area for Gundogan to make it 2-0.

    it looks more like a Scotland away kit than a Switzerland one!

    12 minutes, Scotland break away from a Switzerland corner, they
    eventually find McTominay, who's shot Swiss defender Shar kicks at and
    turns into his own net for an own goal (even if it has been credited to McTominay on the scorecard). Scotland 1 - Switzerland 0!

    26 minutes a wonder strike from Shaqiri finds the top corner to make the
    score 1-1! That’s why Murat Yakin picked him!

    It’s officially now an own goal, the score card has been amended.

    Hang on, they’ve changed it back to McTominay! For me if a defender
    kicks out and directs the ball into the net it’s an own goal, but there
    you have it.
