Euro: Round of 16 - Germany v. Denmark - June 29

[Rob]

Terrible free kick by Denmark on the edge of the box

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Sane kills another counterattack

 

[PanniniClaus]

Denmark can't rely on balls into space for.... Thomas Delaney..

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Unnecessary tinkering by Nagelsmann, problem with club coaches who think they're too smart. He's killed the chemistry with the switch-ups which Wirtz/Musiala had or Mittelstadt making runs down the left.

And Havertz looking like Havertz like usual, a midfielder looking lost leading the front line.

 

[Jussi]

Match suspended due to lightning proximity.

2nd quarter Danes got into the game and were maybe a bit better. Gundogan has been out of sync with teamsmates, his passes and forward runs haven't been successful.

Sane has been ineffective too.

Now it's raining and loud thunder. Match to be abandoned?

 

[Blender]

Lightning break now.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Good call rare for this guy

 

[Karterthadon]

Playing with a clown like Sane must be so frustrating

 

[Ceremony]

What sort of woke nonsense is this?

 

[luiginb]

The way things are going in the future matches are going to be suspended for rain, we don't want the players catching a cold now, do we?

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I was just wondering..it's kinda funny because in the U.S. I recall them breaking off games because of lightning in the area all the time, sometimes when the storm is even 4-5 miles away and never actually gets to the stadium..meanwhile in Europe at football games it seems like they basically only do it if the lightning is right on top of the stadium.

 

[Power Man]

f*** rain

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I don't know who benefits more from this break. I reckon Germany definitely needed a bit of a rethink there.

delaying because of lightning directly overhead is one of the biggest no brainers imaginable

First time I've ever seen it in pro football. It's stupid. What about the paying fans?

They'll keep enjoying themselves drinking and having a nice time underneath awnings that cover them, which is not the case for the fully uncovered pitch

 

[ScottishCanuck]

I’m sure a footballer was killed by it on the pitch in Indonesia not too long ago.

Also a kid in England.

I’ve seen it postponed before and it’s sensible enough.

 

[luiginb]

OK, I get it now to suspend it for hail, that I had seen before.

 

[Jussi]

Rainfall apparently so hard that playing would be difficult as well. It looks likely to be over soon though.

 

[Power Man]

lol those 2 dudes dancing in the rain

Well, these big thunderstorms in places like Germany, England, France, Netherlands etc. usually happen in summer, so they're a non-issue for most of the season.

I think in general Europe has a lot less sensitivity to thunderstorms/lightning as a hazard because it's not that common. In the U.S. where many areas get major thunderstorms a lot there's a lot more awareness about the risks.

Perfect for a Sunday stroll for Luigi

 

[Power Man]

They should award a 5-0 win to Denmark, the host nation should have prevented the rain
