All time top scorer for Finland too, glad he was able to fulfill his potential in the end despite the bleak early 20s in Schalke and Celtic.

He just started two games for Sweden too, I'm happy they are careful with him.

He’s one of the most entertaining players to watch but he’ll be back at Atleti after the season so scouting is pointless.

Absolutely massacre, fucking get in!

Willock has to score, that’s just poor.

Looked decent today as a LWB for NI. Terrible game but he was one of the few who looked comfortable in possession.

Has been injured a lot.

Red card absolutely kills the buzz, whenever there's a red in a match I'm watching as a neutral I'm likely to turn it off or turn my attention to something else while having it on the background. It's just shite.

He shouldn’t, don’t think he’s significantly better than Longstaff and would never start him ahead of Bruno/Joelinton/Willock in the midfield.

We need to build a squad but signing players like him is just simply the wrong way to do it. We need to buy players who push current starters to the bench, not players to sit on the bench behind them. Young prospects with potential are obviously a different case but that doesn't apply to 26 year old castoffs.

I saw a bad quality video of it but both looked like stonewallers from replays. Referees need the help is all I say.

Yesterday in Leverkusen-Bayern Munchen referee booked the same player twice for diving, VAR overturned the decision both times resulting in two penalties.

Lazio-Roma, Inter-Juventus and Barca-Real all on tonight, crazy.

Feel like people forget how the terrible the officiating was pre-VAR. There's a reason why it was introduced in the first place and it wasn't because referees were good.

You can't fault the process when it's all about incompetent people somehow not familiar with the rules despite it being their fucking job.

I would have no complaints if a header that's going over the bar hitting accidentally an arm wouldn't result in a spot kick but guess it's more the rules fault than Tierney's.

Even Forest fans can be angry with him, so many bad calls on both sides. Dennis foul and booking on Trippier was really bad and took away a really dangerous counter. No idea how Tierney missed Bruno kicking Dennis twice on the edge of the box either and the pen is fucking soft. Just hilariously bad performance all night.

One of the worst refereeing performances I’ve seen. Felt like Tierney got everything wrong.

And that one wasn’t even a foul.

He’s clueless.

Yeah, and it encourages scared and boring football. Finland won their first game in 2020 Euros and the coach admitted that they didn't want to be too aggressive against Russia in the second game as draw would have been fantastic and even a small loss alright. Then he was complaining after the last game how the results in other groups hadn't been good for us when we got knocked out. If teams are ready to defend a 1-0 loss in the second group game to protect their goal difference, football will be boring as fuck. IP's way of having 48 teams would be so much better and every game would be meaningful to the end as that bye is so valuable.

What in the absolute fuck is this referee? Honestly turning it off.

One of the worst penalty decisions ever. Ball even ended up going exactly where it would have gone without the slightest touch on arm.

Yeah, he has a bit of Shelvey in him but think he has dialed it down a bit lately imo.

Thought he was amazing today, wondering if I'm forgetting some rick due to the neutral ratings in the match thread. Rock solid defensively and really good on the ball as usual. Loved the way he handled Podence (?) when they were countering on full speed and Jimenez did nothing against him.
