Best game so far.

Very entertaining game. The Turkish fans always bring the noise and some fantastic goals were scored. Some games you don't think will be good on paper turn out to be absolute crackers!

Great game, some great goals as well.

Proper 100 mph affair

See that Spurs are away at Leicester on the Monday of opening weekend StrikeMug? Who will you be supporting for this one mate?

Leicester have finished above Arsenal before you know.

Portugal are looking very good, but, as always against the Czechs and their solid robust defense, you've got to take your chances !are you listening CR7 !

He didn't listen.

Might have had something to do with him being too busy playing to read ja606 though.

This

Most all round entertaining game I've watched so far, been others I've enjoyed but that had a little of everything

I must say also, that Portugal are a good team and will take some stopping, but the Cechs must be one of the hardest teams to beat, they are not the prettiest to watch, but they certainly play a hard game.

I felt some of the Portuguese players were getting away with too many off ball rough tactics.... while the Czechs were mostly just getting on with it. There was an incident before the Portuguese second goal that should have been carded... I thought unfair of ref to ignore many of these dirty play tactics.... but heyho I guess after all it's not a gentleman's sport...

Can't disagree Tway, and I also thought that incident before the 2nd goal should have been carded, but overall the best team won.

Personally I thought Martinez lucked out, as he Southgated it a bit by leaving it late to bring on Neto, who as good as set up the winner.

You have to wonder as to what sort of saying and influence Martinez has in that dressing room !
some very strong characters in there, quite apart from you know who !
