N.Ireland own goal

[Berlin_Freeper]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McAuley scored the first Northern Ireland goal in a tournament for 30 years, since Colin Clarke in the 1986 World Cup, against Ukraine in Euro 2016. In addition to this making him the second-oldest scorer at the Euros, it also saw the team win for the first time at the European finals.[31] Having made it out of the group stage, McAuley scored an own goal during the Euro 2016 round of 16 match against Wales, that resulted in Northern Ireland being eliminated frm the tournament.

Poland hold nerve after Switzerland’s Granit Xhaka blazes penalty wide

[Berlin_Freeper]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xhaka was selected for UEFA Euro 2016, where Switzerland's campaign opened against Albania in Lens. Xhaka, whose team won 1–0, was playing against his own brother while their mother watched from the crowd in a t-shirt blending the two nations' flags.[31] He was voted the man of the match.[32] Xhaka played every minute of Switzerland's campaign, which ended in the last 16 with a loss to Poland at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard; after a 1–1 draw he was the only player to not score in the penalty shootout, shooting wide.

"He's disappointed, but that's football and mistakes can happen,"

[Berlin_Freeper]

Croatia 0-1 Portugal
The match in Lens was abysmal. There were no efforts on target until the goal in the 117th minute, creativity was lacking, passes misplaced and the game was blighted by niggly fouls, with 18 in the first half alone.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Slovakia beat Germany in a pre-Euro 2016 warm-up game and winger Vladimir Weiss sees no reason why they cannot repeat the feat in Lille.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Germany centre back Jerome Boateng is expected to start after overcoming the calf injury that saw him substituted against Northern Ireland.

Mario Gomez is also likely to play again in the lone striker role, while squad captain Bastian Schweinsteiger is pushing for a start.

Hungary vs. Belgium: Adam Nagy and Kevin De Bruyne crucial in Toulouse

Croatia outplayed Portugal for almost one-hundred twenty minutes, then committed a huge defensive error. On to the quarters for Portugal....
