Group F: Turkey, Georgia, Portugal, Czech Republic

[JimJams]

Well... OG for the golden boot.

[StanSP]

Akgun needs new boots. About the 3rd time he's slipped. 

[FoxTimmy2]

Wow like watching Amartey and Ward last season.

[kingfox]

Akaydin has gone from looking like prime Beckenbauer in the last game, to the new Frank Sinclair in this. 

[StanSP]

Turkey's left side getting battered

I don't think he looks that much better 

[StanSP]

Big dive from Leao. 2nd time already this tournament? 

[StanSP]

Ref doesn't like these 50/50s.

[RowlattsFox]

Referree is atrocious 

[StanSP]

Pepe did worse earlier. 

[trabuch]

I think this ref is fairly poor.

[Guest Col city fan]

This ref is a fookin joke.

I swear, they will make football a non-contact sport in the end

I think this ref has received a 'present' from Portugal. Probably arrived in a brown envelope.

[StanSP]

Akgun is so frustrating today. 

[foxy boxing]

The ref is on a bonus per card 

[David Hankey]

The ref likes his cards. I'll be surprised if both teams end up with 11 on the park.

Yes. Not so poor any more perhaps.

[DennisNedry]

This referee is one of the worst I've seen so far to be honest.

 

At least he booked the Portugal lad for diving.

He any good?

Got good skill and pace but not always the end product.

 

I suspect we've all seen our team do that before!

 

Turkey losing their heads  a bit now.

 

Ref not afraid to get the cards out.

[when_you're_smiling]

According to the stats the ref has only given 10 fouls in the game (8 in Portugal’s favour) and he’s given five yellows.

[David Hankey]

Quite a few own goals so far in this tournament but this one takes the biscuit.

[when_you're_smiling]

This referee actually got banned for receiving a bung a few years ago.

 

Not sure you can completely trust everything on his Wikipedia page currently though.

[StanSP]

Shambles from Turkey in more ways than one. 

[spacemunky]

That must have killed Ronaldo to make that pass

He only did it because he was certain he was offside (hadn't seen the Turkish RB)
