That lady co-commentator sounds like Glen Hoddle on helium! 

Must be a Chelsea thing ?

[spacemunky]

Pretty nice, from a center half.

[spacemunky]

Pretty limited options off the bench for Poland offensively.

[StanSP]

People might moan about Szczesny and Krychowiak but I'm stunned Poland didn't play Lewandowski. 

[Finnegan]

Poland look absolutely woefully coached. Probably better squad on paper but Slovakia look like an actual team. 

 

Poland just been 11 individuals that look like they've never met all game. 

[Guest Col city fan]

I’m assuming Paulo Sousa is the same Paulo Sousa who basically decimated City? 

[Blue ROI]

Poland are always a massive disappointment in these major tournaments.

[Finnegan]

Lmao Glik pretending he's been hit in the face, taking a cheeky glance at an incoming shot, then going back to holding his face, all on the way down. 

[spacemunky]

Poland downgrading with every substitution.

"He's scored home and away against Manchester United this season, well one of them was an own goal" 

 

 

 

[spacemunky]

Credit to Slovakia, they played well.

[Unabomber]

What’s the story with the Spain squad and no Real players? Is it cos the manager is ex Barca?

[Chester Dontlie]

A well deserved win for Slovakia. I'm flabbergasted Sousa decided to keep slow Krychowiak who was already on a yellow and only decided to really go for it and bring on the second striker 5 minutes before the final whistle

Also we keep leaking about 2-3 times as many goals playing under him compared to previous managers. Must be the #sousaeffect

Now on to get a proper spanking from Spain then maybe a lucky draw against Sweden (I'm being optimistic) and I can pick a second team to cheer on

Weird not to see Ramos in there. I know he's had injuries this season, but I'd take an injured Ramos over 90% of defenders any day.

2nd place in this group plays 2nd in ours next round .

 

Good victory and excellent winner for Slovakia.

When did ITV hire Kathy Burke as a pundit?

Harry Enfield as Kevin would be far better than Partridge Matterface.

 

Get it done, ITV.

It got deflected at close range on to the post. What else could he do?

 

All the talk will be about that but nothing about the amateur defending allowing Mak an open run on to the goal...

I appreciate the woeful defending but as every goalkeeper knows you shouldn't get beaten at your near post.

The deflection made it curve in to the outside of the post, hit Szczesny on the head and back in to the goal.

Without the deflection at close range, he doesn't get beaten...

Not really, they’re just not all that good. 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

My treble today was check republic, draw, Spain. Can't believe Poland didn't put one of them late chances away. Ah well.

I can see you've never played in goal.
