Somehow I didn't notice the large and obvious name in the middle of the stand.

Perception -100.

I'm sure it probably is just them maxing out the use of the otherwise empty spaces, but damn it really bothers me. I keep looking at it, instead of the match itself....which probably means it's working tbh.

The foul on Sane was bad enough to warrant a red in real time when I thought he just straight up hip checked him, but holy shit that replay was gnarly. Really hope nothing was torn.

5 or so Celtic/ ex Celtic players in the side. Where's that fella who disagreed that Celtic are a Championship side at best?

McLeish gonna take us out of Europe quicker than the Tories.

It's daft because we have some not awful players, but each manager turns them to shite. The sad part is I'm not even annoyed at this point, it's just what happens.

Well, it's very clear that:
1-Courtois is really terrible, and cannot take any pressure.
2-Hazard and Lukaku are by far the two most valuable players in Belgium.

Being on the other side, and it also being my first proper Euro (was also 7 years old, I'm from '93), I remember it fondly.

That semi-final against France still stings. We had a surprisingly decent team that year though.

The only thing that made going out of the group stage and losing to Romania less painful was beating Germany and them finishing below us.

That's definitely even weirder. As it's something that never even really "existed" for those of us born after it. Yet it wasn't even 30 years ago when they dissolved.

I looked into their national team a bit and they had a dope kit at Euro 88

Yugoslavia, Soviet Union ... Another thing that I always find weird when reading/watching old stuff: West Germany. Bonus: Czechoslovakia (so weird I couldnt even type it correctly)

Huh. Kinda makes think of a "red Dutch" kit for some reason. I think the Netherlands probably had one similar-ish to this one.

Adidas did some dope kits in the 80's.

This one from Portugal in '84 (when the power of the mighty bushy mustache almost pushed us into a final) is probably one of the few away shirts I'd love getting.

Oh yeah, that whole concept of Germany just being divided into two (with the Eastern half actually being pretty damn poor too) is super weird. It's such a different reality from what most of us had when growing up that it almost doesn't even make sense.


------------------------------------

Edit:

Turns out the kit I was thinking of is from '88!

A somewhat similar-ish graphic on the shirt. Regardless all of these look great. Adidas were on fire back then. Or maybe it's just my "pseudo-nostalgia" of the 80s, created by media and fashion in general.

Extra bonus: really we should be calling them Czechia now too, so seeing them being referred to as The Czech Republic might start feeling really weird in a few years as well

You are correct, I'm not sure if people are just trying to figure out if Czechia is an official name though or a name they will actually use (like how everyone will know Greece but they probably won't know who the Hellenic Republic is).

Euro 2000 was class and I still have no idea how Holland didn't get to the final.
