    Neither did I, but this map shows the German speaking area in green.

        A brilliant game and a half spoiled slightly by a commentator who wrote off Croatia too early...and a summariser who LOVES Morata.

          That's Emma Hayes, the Chelsea coach who has been the best analyst at this tournament. A lot of people stick up especially for Morata after the abuse thrown at him recently.... his brilliant strike for 4-3 was one of the truly great euro goals, in an all-time classic of the Euro game....and the best possible answer!
          A match I feel privileged to have seen, despite wanting Croatia to get through.

          Scarcely got my breath back from that, and a quick blast to The Woods to clear my head.....

          Lets see what Les Suisses can do here... watch out for our man Shaqiri, so gifted, Big Shaq as Klopp likes to call him...

          Wow - not a bad start, is it? Classic Lewandowskian header from Seferovic...

            You always feel with France that grabbing an early goal against them only serves to wake them up and force them to come at you.

If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

                Well the CH passed well, pressed well and defended well...but I guess France can only play better than that...

                Fascinating game, perfectly poised for the 2nd half....

                  Nobody likes Belgium or Belgians more than me.
                  Plus it has the longest tram line in the world, and I have been on it. Lovely country.

                    Classic two minutes as the game turns..... but imagine if it had gone in....terrific contest....

                    Oh football, football... have the Swiss anything left?

                        Wow! Benzema seemed to have done nothing and then two great goals.

                          Missed the early game. Anything much happen ?!

                            WOW! No answer to that one, is there? Pogba of the brilliant hair!

                            YES! Come on Les Suisses!

                            An agonised hairsbreadth from another 3-3....goodness.....

                            ***

                            Yes yes yes! It is 3-3!
                            Well, well....."now I've seen everything.." But with football you never have......did you ever see see a last few minutes like that?

                            I mean twice in day? Really? Will France take over like Spain did, or....?

                                Gosh.... we all know who has the greater firepower, but... in a shootout..... here we go....!

                                I wanted the Swiss to do it, I so admired the way they played and fought with such staggering gifts against them......great save from Sommer for the Fearful Fifth! But Mbappé to take it? I wonder.....

                                What an amazing, wonderful day...... barely time to recover before........ well you know.....
                                The shift I've put in at the TV today....! I need a good rest.... but right now, something to eat at long last.....

                                Ah... here come The Cats...... they always come first, don't they?
