Shame, but we thank him for his service 👏
Olympic opening ceremony or Lord of the Rings tribute?
Most surprising thing about this is that Tottenham had that many
Between us we’ll find a way
Some takes from the Premier League weekend. Features Gyökeres' brace, Szoboszlai being a brilliant right-back, Grealish, Pep vs. Frank and a little more:
Penalties! A game that Spain were in control of, England fought their way back into, and ultimately one that turned into a slog. Sort of unsatisfying for a final to end this way imo, but here we are. Spain’s first of the tournament, while England beat Sweden this way
Teams lined up in front of the trophy! The big prize is right there, who’s getting their hands on it?
Basel is soaked. Absolutely hammering down here. Could that blunt some of Spain’s pace and slick passing? England will take any advantage they can get against a side that hasn’t conceded in the knockouts yet
Long 90 minutes coming up for the Germany players in Zurich. Spain have breezed through the tournament so far
Last bit of sunlight in Geneva ahead of kick off. First finalist about to book their place for Basel on Sunday. Anthems belting out. Glorious!
Walking around sunny Zurich seeing Champions League winner Lia Wälti on posters everywhere. 10/10 would recommend
The miracle of Basel! Germany are through! Played well over 100 minutes with 10 players and made it through on penalties. A word for Sjoeke Nüsken, who missed a penalty in normal time and then scored what ended up being the winner in the shootout. And AKB of course!
A lot of weary legs in that huddle. Germany have done incredibly well to hold out for all that time. Shootout incoming…
Well-deserved ovation for Elisa Senß as she gets subbed in the final minute. An absolute warrior tonight
Germany have just made their second sub of the game, with the first being due to injury. Mad that they’ve kept competing so well physically despite being a player down
France goal chalked off by VAR, they still can’t put this weakened Germany team
Impressive performance from Germany since the red card. Especially as the depleted defence also lost Sarai Linder to injury. Showing great fight, particularly Senss and Hoffmann
Beauty of a header from Sjoeke Nüsken! Germany level thanks to her, and Giovanna Hoffmann’s battling up front. France not really making much of being a woman up so far
Absolute disaster for Germany. Kathy Hendrich has so much experience, and she’s just put her team a goal and a player down. A moment of madness, and Germany have a mountain to climb now
The last Euro 2025 quarterfinal, chance to play the world champions in the semis, here we go!
Germany fans belting out Major Tom ahead of the Euros quarterfinal with France. Impossible? Maybe not, but the defence that struggled so badly against Sweden faces another massive challenge against the likes of Katoto and Cascarino
When Spain played Switzerland in the first knockout round of the last World Cup, it was 4-1 by this stage. Bit more sedate tonight. Spain have missed a penalty and hit the post, while Switzerland have battled without seeing much of the ball
The favourites (and world champions) against the hosts. This is what international tournaments are all about
Good grief. Wasn’t familiar with Brazil’s game
England have just won what might be the worst penalty shootout in history. But after coming back from 2-0 down they won’t care how they got through! Semifinal against Italy is up next
Penalty shootout time! It’s going to be in front of the England fans
England
Image of the half so far, Sweden tearing England apart, just as they did Germany in the last group game. 2-0 at the half hour mark
To be more specific, concerned he’s a flat track bully in Portugal, and won’t be able to replicate that in a league where the bad teams are of a higher standard. Again though, 97 in 102…
