Euro 2020 Day 9 - Germany thrashed Portugal, Hungary drew with France and Spain drew once again
Hungary 1-1 France: Hosts draw against World Champions, Griezmann nets equilizer 60,000 Fans witness their Hungary team gain a tough draw by Fiola's goal against mighty France Portugal 2-4 Germany: Hosts thrash Portugal as Havertz on target, Ronaldo nets A defeat to France with a toothless attack was hugely damaging for Germany's chances at Euro 2020, with many fans suggesting that the team would fall way short of success in the tournament, yet the team showed their class in a 4-2 victory over Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo put Fernando Santos' charges ahead in the first half, completing a quite wonderful counter-attack from a German corner, with the Juventus man heading the ball clear in his own penalty area and getting on the final pass and scoring all within 13 seconds. Germany could have easily folded at this point, but it was obvious Portugal's opening goal was against the run of play. It took the 2014 world champions just 20 minutes to equalise, with Ruben Dias scoring an unfortunate own-goal 10 minutes from half-time. Before half-time, Germany were in front as Raphael Guerreiro also put the ball into his own net attempting to clear away a dangerous cross across the penalty area. Whilst the nature of the goals conceded were unfortunate, Portugal could have few complaints about the scoreline, with the midfield duo of Danilo Pereira and William Carvalho dooming the team to struggle to attack from the off. Kai Havertz made it 3-1 after 51 minutes before a Robin Gosens header put Die Mannschaft 4-1 ahead after an hour. Portugal pulled a goal back through Diogo Jota with 20 minutes left to play, but they were unable to push to make the game closer in the final minutes, although Renato Sanches' long-range strike was the closest they came. France's draw with Hungary has opened up the group ahead of the final matchday, with just one point separating Germany, France and Portugal. Spain 1-1 Poland: Lewy hits equaliser to save Poland from defeat, Morata nets Spain's Euro 2020 frustrations continued as they settled for a 1-1 draw with Poland in Group E action on Saturday night at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville. Alvaro Morata gave his side a first half lead, only to see world class striker Robert Lewandowski answer for Poland in the second period. Still, La Roja had the three points on a silver platter via the penalty spot, but Gerard Moreno's attempt struck the woodwork instead of the back of the net, resulting in a share of the spoils. Spain are now faced with a must-win on Wednesday against Slovakia to ensure that their title hopes remain intact. Head coach Luis Enrique was true to his word when he announced in his pre-match press conference on Friday that his starting XI would be Morata "and 10 others", with the maligned Juventus man up front along with Moreno, who came in for Ferran Torres in what was the only change from the previous line-up against Sweden. Morata's moment would come midway through the half, with a bit of a boost from VAR, as it was ruled that Morata's redirect into net off a Moreno shot came from an onside position, giving Spain a 1-0 lead. Poland kept pressing for an equaliser and it arrived in short order in the second half when Lewandowski out-muscled Aymeric Laporte in front of goal and headed in a cross from Kamil Jozwiak to bring the visitors level 1-1. More drama was to come just minutes later when a penalty went in Spain's favour via VAR for a Mateusz Klich foul on Moreno in the Polish area, but the Villarreal man's spot kick banged off the post and the rebounded shot from Morata missed the mark with the goal wide open. Luis Enrique went to his bench for the first time right after the hour mark, with Ferran Torres on for Dani Olmo, followed a bit later by Pablo Sarabia and Fabian Ruiz for Koke and Moreno, respectively. Spain mounted the pressure as time continued ticking toward full-time, the most glaring chance being for Morata after a chested-down pass from Ferran Torres, but veteran Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny came up with a massive save. Luis Enrique's last roll of the dice saw Mikel Oyarzabal on for Morata, but it mattered little in what was an unimaginative close to the match from the fancied hosts, who now have a lot of work to do in their group finale on Wednesday. #footballindepth #euro2020 #GERPOR
Not Again ; 'Racism', Euro 2020 at Hungary on Mbappe and Ronaldo , UEFA investigating
UEFA to investigate alleged racism and homophobia incidents at Hungary games UEFA have appointed an inspector to investigate alleged abuse which took place during Hungary's matches against both France and Portugal. The game against France, which finished 1-1 with Attila Fiola and Antoine Griezmann getting the goals, took place in Budapest on Saturday afternoon, with Kylian Mbappe alleged to have been racially abused during the Euro 2020 fixture. As reported by De Telegraaf, during the 90 minutes some of the Hungarian fans in attendance aimed racist abuse at Mbappe. Monkey noises are said to have been heard around the stadium with Karim Benzema - who has Algerian roots - also subject to the vile treatment. In Hungary's previous Euro group match against Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo was subjected to homophobic abuse, with several images of homemade discriminatory banners circulated on social media. Meanwhile, one right-wing supporters group also organised a march against players taking the knee before kick off. UEFA have now released a statement which reads: "In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, an UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding potential discriminatory incidents which occurred in the Puskás Aréna, Budapest, during the 2020 European Championship group stage matches between the national teams of Hungary and Portugal on 15 June 2021 and between the national teams of Hungary and France played on 19 June 2021. "Information on this matter will be made available in due course." Hungary is the only host nation in which full crowds are allowed thanks to the country's lax social distancing rules. However, in both of the games played in the capital city so far there has been crowd trouble. Hungary's performances on the pitch have been overshadowed by some of their fans' behaviour This is not the first time Hungary's fans have been accused of discriminatory behaviour. Back in 2015 the country's football federation was hit with a €70,000 (£60,000) for a similar incident during a game against Romania. Hungary's final group game of the tournament will be played in Munich on Wednesday. The city council hope to light up the Allianz Arena in the pride rainbow to show solidarity with the country's LGBTQI+ community. The Hungarian parliament recently passed laws banning the circulation of content deemed to be promoting homosexuality. #footballindepth #euro2020 #racismineuro2020

Zlatan Ibrahimovic emotional in press conference.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic broke down in tears in a press conference ahead of his Sweden return when asked about how his children feel about him playing international football again. The 39-year-old will play for his country for the first time in five years this week as Sweden take on Kosovo and Georgia in two 2022 World Cup qualifiers. But when asked what his family thought about him joining up with the national team once again, Ibrahimovic failed to hold back the waterworks as he revealed his youngest son Vincent cried when he left to join up with the squad. Before breaking down, Zlatan said: 'Vincent really cried when I left him. But now it's okay.' Vincent is the youngest of two boys Ibrahimovic has with long-term partner Helena Seger. Speaking about his family in the press conference, the Swedish striker said: 'I have two little ones at home who kick the ball, my wife asks me to tell them to stop but I say no, we can buy new things if they break them.' Ibrahimovic has not played for Sweden since the 2016 European Championships and is looking to build on his 62 goals in 116 caps. The 39-year-old is now highly likely to represent his country in this summer's European Championships which are currently set to take place across the UK, with the forward in the form of his career for AC Milan. After playing club football for Manchester United and LA Galaxy after retiring from Sweden duty, Ibrahimovic moved back to Milan in January 2020 and has 15 goals in 15 Serie A games this season. The striker claims he deserves to be back in the Sweden fold as he feels like he is 'the best in the world' and claims his return is what is best for the national team side, managed by Janne Andersson. Speaking about his meeting with Anderson earlier this year to discuss a national team return, Ibrahimovic said: 'We met for the first time, alone in a room, and we spoke about everything. 'It was a positive meeting where we confronted each other and, in the end, we chose what was best for Sweden. We both know what is best for the national team and today I'm sitting here in front of you. 'If I'm here, it's not because my name is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but because I deserve to be here. Everything I have done before means nothing. I feel fit, I want to be involved and I feel I can still contribute for the national team. 'I'm just a piece of the puzzle. If you ask me, I'm the best in the world, but that doesn't help here. I just want to put my experience at the disposal of the team and I promised the coach I will be decisive, but now I have to prove it on the pitch.' Ibrahimovic insists he is not coming back as captain unless Sweden manager Andersson decides to strip Andreas Granqvist as skipper and replace him with the Milan star. The striker also revealed he turned down Sweden midfielder Emil Forsberg's offer to get his number 10 shirt back, with Ibrahimovic taking Alexander Isak's number 11 shirt instead. He said: 'In my head, the captain is Andreas Granqvist. But then it's up to the coach to decide. 'I asked Alexander if I could have the No. 11 shirt. He gave me the OK, as long as he could get it back within six or seven years. 'Forsberg had offered me No. 10, but I preferred to decline because this is a new chapter and it's right that he has it. And then, the number doesn't really matter.' #footballindepth #zlatancrying #humanzlatan Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for 'Fair Use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research, Fair use is a permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing, Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.
Ralph Hasenhuttl break down in tears after Southampton’s heroic win over Liverpool
Ralph Hasenhuttl broke down at the final whistle as he saw his Southampton side beat Premier League champions Liverpool 1-0 at home. The Saints defeated Jurgen Klopp's side thanks to a second minute goal from Danny Ings but had to put in a spirited defensive display to deny the top-flight leaders three points. The Austrian coach dropped to his knees when the victory was secured and burst into tears as Southampton sit four points off the top of the Premier League table. Southampton striker Danny Ings revealed that this display of emotion is typical of the Saints boss who is working his side very hard. Ings told : 'He's very passionate and it's great for all of us lads to see that. He brings passion to our game. 'We're still trying to break forward and defending with our lives. It's not easy to do but the manager's got us all working our socks off.' Southampton's brilliant start to the season comes a year after they were beaten 9-0 at home to Leicester City as Hasenhuttl's job security at St Mary's was under threat. The Saints were sitting second bottom of the table that day, After the game, Hasenhuttl - who has been dubbed the 'Alpine Klopp' - was still visibly emotional and said: "I started believing we could do it in the 92nd minute. "But the way we defended today was amazing. The effort the guys put in was the key to winning. "The mentality was absolutely perfect. The perfect day for us, the perfect evening for all Southampton fans out there. "An important step forward I think. We had so may injuries since yesterday and we still competed against such a team. "We had to have a perfect game plan today and luck. Against such a team you have to have luck and we had that today." #footballindepth #hasenhuttlcrying #souliv Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for 'Fair Use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research, Fair use is a permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing, Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.
Mourinho: Goal-line technology does not make mistakes like VAR 😅😅
Jose Mourinho talks about Spurs performance and VAR to BT Sport after Watford 0-0 Tottenham clash. It was, to be exact, 10.04mm not over the line. "I know it was only a couple of millimetres but goal-line technology does not make mistakes like VAR. We have to accept it was not a goal." "I talk about Tottenham's performance separate from refereeing and VAR decisions because I prefer not to comment. "Tottenham's performance was good. We started very well. We were very dominant in the first half until they did what they always do - they had that period were they started winning more second balls, put more balls into the box and had one or two set plays. It's impossible to always dominate them. "In the second half the game was more 50-50. We tried with the ammunition we have in the last period to bring more energy, more vision and more quality with Eriksen and were a few millimetres from wining the match. "Overall it was a good match." On refereeing decisions: "I leave the VAR decisions to the pundits. "Gazza did a job for us and it's an important save. "I think we deserve to win this match. To lose would have been too harsh on the boys." #footballindepth #joseMourinho #COYS

What the hell happened in England Vs Bulgaria match : RACISM 😔
A Euro 2020 qualifier match between Bulgaria and England in Sofia was temporarily halted twice Monday night over racist abuse hurled at English players. England's Football Association tweeted after the match that English players had been "subjected to abhorrent racist chanting" and that it would ask the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to "investigate as a matter of urgency." "This is unacceptable at any level of the game and our immediate focus is supporting the players and staff involved," the association tweeted. "As we are sadly aware, this is not the first time our players have been subjected to this level of abuse and there is no place for this kind of behavior in society, let alone in football." The game was first halted during the 28th minute while England was leading 2-0, after a stadium announcement told fans that racist behavior was "interfering with the game" and that if it continued, the match would be abandoned. "The referee has indicated that he may have to suspend the match," the announcer said and warned against racist behavior, according to Britain's PA news agency. The announcement came after a conversation between the game's referee and England's captain Harry Kane. The game was then halted a second time during the 43rd minute, after discussions between England's manager Gareth Southgate and the referee. Bulgaria was sanctioned earlier this year for racist chanting during qualifiers against Kosovo and the Czech Republic in June. The two pauses on Monday were part of UEFA's three-step protocol, which is an attempt to tackle racism at football games. The third step would have been to cancel the game entirely. The game carried on into the second half, with England ultimately beating Bulgaria 6-0.
