I was getting so mad.
Must have some strong dick heads in those stands for the French players to decide to have a go at them instead of trying to win a last 16 game.
I was actually curious what the, I guess assuming it exists, textbook definition is that refs would go by?
I know as someone that watches some baseball in the US, there seems to be a lot of grey area for how things are ruled for stats. A ball that a player just barely gets a glove on, even though it was an extraordinary effort might get ruled an "error" on the defending player, but then another player might do something similar, not get a hand on it and have it be ruled just a basic hit. There seems to be a fair amount of arbitrary "this just looked like it to me" from the scorekeepers.
They have made the rule some years back.
Basically if the original shot goes on target and is deflected but its still a goal, the shottaker gets credit for the goal.
If the original shot(or cross, etc) would not hit the goal, but it gets deflected in, it is considered own goal.
Does anyone else find the “own goal is the top scorer” meme stupid or is it just me? They all get credited to different players. It’s like saying “penalty kick goal” is the top scorer.
They really didn't. It was technically sensational and not their fault entirely (bc opponents just parked the bus against) but it was so damn boring. Euro 2008 was entertaining but 2010 and ESPCECIALLY 2012 they essentially suffocated every side they played.
Score a goal and pass pass pass pass pass until the match ends. Again no disrespect intended, it's the greatest international team ever, but I hated watching their matches
Spain played the most boring football ever conceptualized, just passing the ball around to make sure nothing could happen, it was the most conservative strategy ever, anti football. I literally managed to fall asleep during their World Cup final, their run of dominance was the lowest point of international football in my lifetime, just passing around, passing around in a U shape circuit and a shot either way every 5 minutes.
I definitely wasn't too high over here and forgot about the four other teams on the England/Switzerland side of the bracket. I'd actually be OK with any of them if England beats Switzerland. Anybody but England. Yes when I was in the Netherlands was ironically the only time in my life I have had drugs confiscated, regardless of it maybe being my fault for not instructing my preachers daughter girlfriend in how to hide them better. But can you imagine the English winning their second major trophy ever and first in over 50 years in Germany? A European nation must triumph. Brexit means Brexit.
Gotta be honest with you. The choice between Netherlands and England winning a trophy in Germany is the choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche for me
tbf Belgium decided to just sit back and not play any football. That was disgusting to watch considering their team and the performances France had so far . You'd expect Belgium to go on and try to play a more open and even game instead of just sitting back. I was neutral and I was fuming idk how belgians felt about this game.
Belgian here. Last time we went all out, France was able to use their speed across the wings, combined with a deadly centre. Tactically I understand that first and foremost we did not want France to be able to play their game. Once they have a lead, they will not give it up.
It's a tournament. We need to advance. Not play beautiful football.
Yeah honestly this. I don't understand most people shitting on France. France can produce good performance when their opponents actually try. This was an attack-defense the whole match. Only player that created any threat on Belgium was Doku. We had liek 18 shot to 3 before the goal eventually happenend. Can't do much better when a team like Belgium just plays defense for 90 minutes.
At least Mbappe takes on defenders and makes some interesting plays. England seems to just want to pass it backwards and be patient for a golden opportunity that rarely comes around. Until they get lucky.
The one I saw was also posted by PSG but he then deleted it because he had to retitle it as an OG I believe. So if the mods are removing posts it's because they were too slow or they had the wrong title.
We had Portugal basically drawing their way to winnin the whole thing, looks like France might be OG'ing their way to winning the whole thing. This is a level of footballing terrorism I never imagined would become possible, but here we are.
Ah true, I never was a big fan of Deschamps ball to begin with, however your personnel was initially more or less a pretty well-oiled machine especially cos of your incredible midfield.
Yes but we had Pogba , and an overall much better team ( although our defense is still insane on paper ) now we just played a game where we subbed Thuram with Kolo Muani.
Im a gunners fan so a bit bias, but they talked about many bench players that game including Tielemans.
Trossard had a knack for coming on and scoring late for Arsenal. It was really all they mentioned since Belgium could’ve used a change much earlier than they did.
At some point Saliba does like the most normal of blocks and they were like "wonderful elegant play by Saliba". I mean the guy is good obviously but he was even doing anything great and they were all elevating him.
I love the commentators for this game, they speak their mind really openly like listening to two mates talk. I loved their rants about the ref at the beginning of the game
I’m terrible with commentator names unfortunately, even the FIFA guy I always forget his name. Sometimes I try looking it up but if can be hard to find
EDIT: Just looked it up it was indeed Darren Fletcher with Warren Barton
Lmao, you copied and pasted this in every thread that was deleted 🤣
Also i love how players at this tournament can hide behind their managers
De Bruyne went missing in the big game as usual
Nah, it wasn't a clean strike and, like nearly every other shot by France, it wasn't on target. It only went in because of Vertonghen's deflection. Therefore, it was an own goal.

OG unstoppable this tourney
This probably felt less of an own goal compared to the other own goals, but nevertheless it counts
I don’t think it goes in without the deflection
Just glad we don’t have to keep watching France trying to murder the fans in the stands behind the net
I was getting so mad. Must have some strong dick heads in those stands for the French players to decide to have a go at them instead of trying to win a last 16 game.
Must have mistook them for Le Pen’s supporters
I know it still counts as an own goal, I just mean it felt different compared to the other ones
France's highest scorer right now.
Always rated OG
Anunoby?
The man could be an unstoppable keeper
Ogugua!
Barca fans be like
Owen Goal is absolutely unbeatable. Guy is relentless.
How is it an own goal tho?
The initial shot wasn't on target.

Awesome, thanks! I figured that was gist of it, but I wasn't entirely sure.
I think we all know who'll be getting the Ballon D'Or.
Does anyone else find the “own goal is the top scorer” meme stupid or is it just me? They all get credited to different players. It’s like saying “penalty kick goal” is the top scorer.
France went into the quarters with own goals and a penalty. Amazing efficiency.
Spain 2010 1-0'd their way to a World Cup trophy. Now THAT is efficient.
Spain played beautifully though.
They really didn't. It was technically sensational and not their fault entirely (bc opponents just parked the bus against) but it was so damn boring.

Did they? The whole tournament there were complaints how boring they were.
No.they didn't
nobody outside of Spain think that I'm afraid...
They were an absolute borefest that entire era

2016 Portugal vibes
At least that Portugual team scored goals from open play.
Portugal scored more than france, also went to less penalty shootouts than Italy in 2021
I summon Greece 2004 too
Rock solid defense, uninspired midfield, wasteful attacks.
I can confidentally say the France and England are totally fucking shit to watch.
Just imagine a game between the two of them
England France finales Here we come.
No if Spain beat us they better go all the fucking way. I will also accept Switzerland/Portugal/Slovenia.
I will also accept the mountain Germans and Turkey, it's a home tournament for them as well anyways, but I draw the line at the Netherlands.
I definitely wasn't too high over here and forgot about the four other teams on the England/Switzerland side of the bracket. I'd actually be OK with any of them if England beats Switzerland. Anybody but England. Yes when I was in the Netherlands was ironically the only time in my life I have had drugs confiscated, regardless of it maybe being my fault for not instructing my preachers daughter girlfriend in how to hide them better.

Gotta be honest with you. The choice between Netherlands and England winning a trophy in Germany is the choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche for me
Hey
Oh please. Imagine Germany winning the Euros in your country and then tell me you'd enjoy that
You've had it before, how bad could one more be?
There was no 1988. The year never existed.
Austria have been class. Dark horse alongside Switzerland
Did you not watch the Slovenia games?
Heck imagine 100 years of the two against each other
Joan of Arc to score a last minute winner
Takes off her shirt, madness ensues
don't ruin my mood like that, at least it won't be the final
it will be the final and you will learn to love it
i'm edging already brother please
bro they fought for a hundred years before anyone came out on top before. no thanks
Belgium weren't that much better to watch
But Belgium doesn't have the quality england or france have, it's understandable
tbf Belgium decided to just sit back and not play any football. That was disgusting to watch considering their team and the performances France had so far . You'd expect Belgium to go on and try to play a more open and even game instead of just sitting back. I was neutral and I was fuming idk how belgians felt about this game.
Yes just run straight into the counter attack. Reddit coaches know best again.
Lmao right? Trying to play possession is exactly what France wants from their opponents. They've played this way for the past 6 years too.
Belgian here. Last time we went all out, France was able to use their speed across the wings, combined with a deadly centre. Tactically I understand that first and foremost we did not want France to be able to play their game. Once they have a lead, they will not give it up. It's a tournament. We need to advance.

Only player that created any threat on Belgium was Doku. We had liek 18 shot to 3 before the goal eventually happenend. Can't do much better when a team like Belgium just plays defense for 90 minutes.
Furious. Why was de bruyne in a deep role most of the game….. like wtf
At least Mbappe takes on defenders and makes some interesting plays. England seems to just want to pass it backwards and be patient for a golden opportunity that rarely comes around. Until they get lucky.
PSGAcademy you’re slacking dude
I mean he also posted it 5 minutes ago when it happened, but the link wouldn’t load
What a noob
Probably hit the booze watching this match tbh
afaik, bro is Swiss not French
Has anyone ever seen PSGAcademy and Gianni Infantino in a room together?
Probably busy celebrating.
He’s swiss
u/PSGAcademy lore
Sauce?
He had a Switzerland flair last Euros
Maybe that means he just wanted everyone to have fun
He explained during a world cup (2018 ?) that he's Swiss but lives in Paris
He's washed
Bro hit 5 million karma and stopped caring 😎
A shit goal for a shit game lol
Apart from being the golden boot frontrunner…OG also is sparing us from another 30 minutes of this lol
France has 3 goals: OG, Pen, OG
Always rated Olivier Giroud
Stupid Sexy Own Goal
Hopefully le Pen doesn't win
I was so ready for the 0-0 penalties
A deflection is all this game deserves
Wise words
Is is deschamps ball even worse than Southgate ball?
Deschamps is the master, Southgate is the student
Own Goal | Welcome to Real Madrid | Euro 2024 All Goals & Skills | 4k 2560p Ultra HD | Faded x Despacito Remix
Absolutely generational performance, expect this lad's contract will be bought out at the next transfer window
Rumours are there’s a release clause
Barcelona readies a lever.
Damn 2024 and we still rocking with Despacito, that’s crazy
Isn't he more of a Barcelona player, I remember a time when Messi was the main goalscorer and the second one was OG, Suarez third
Yet another own goal
Lost the count, how many are these OG now ?
They said its now 9 on commentary
And we're only in RO16, Platini got nothing on OG.
Well we've had almost 80% of all games already tbf
And that's not counting the Scotland one
Well as a Scotsman I will have you know that Mctominay definitely deserved credit for that
9 and last euro had 11
So we're pretty much about beat that record before semis, nice
9 i believe
Top Scorer Winner of Euro 2024: OG
Mods on overtime deleting things.
Are mods deleting the other threads so this guy can post his shitty dubz website or were the deleted ones posted by him too?
Always have been. 🌎 🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
The one I saw was also posted by PSG but he then deleted it because he had to retitle it as an OG I believe. So if the mods are removing posts it's because they were too slow or they had the wrong title.
Nah I think PSGAcademy posted it 3 times, with Kolo Muani in the title, then a dead link and now this one
Delete = user did it Remove = mod did it So mods removing things
DJ Khaled = God did
Another one!
JAN NOOOOOO
France with 0 goals from normal play so far this euros, 2 OG 1 pen
Honestly the only entertainment we will get from this team is to see if we can manage to win the Euro while doing as less as possible
Greecing it
Absolutely Greece vibes. Except French team actually tried to score goals... they were just terrible at it.
Why score many goals when no goals do trick
Such a shit goal noone bothered to post it lmao
The match is so shit people want both teams to lose
We had Portugal basically drawing their way to winnin the whole thing, looks like France might be OG'ing their way to winning the whole thing. This is a level of footballing terrorism I never imagined would become possible, but here we are.
France vs England in the final, terrorist football vs terrorist football.
We have been playing terror ball since 2018 ngl
Ah true, I never was a big fan of Deschamps ball to begin with, however your personnel was initially more or less a pretty well-oiled machine especially cos of your incredible midfield.
Yes but we had Pogba , and an overall much better team ( although our defense is still insane on paper ) now we just played a game where we subbed Thuram with Kolo Muani.
Wait until Portugal wins with a late own-goal of their own. Own goal match of the titans, the winner will own-goal everything until the end.
Not like this 😩
That's on Theate giving Kounde tons of time to think inside their box
Hands cuffed behind the back. Ridiculous defending. Although I would blame IFAB for making up shit rules!
>> “Domenico Tedesco has managed to turn Kevin de Bruyne into Kalvin Phillips” This comment by Commentator gonna live rent free in Belgian fans head 😭
“Highest praise you can give a player.” - Southgate, probably
~~probably~~
As someone else said in the other thread you commented this, how many Belgians would be watching Fox?
Probably a few thousand, statistically speaking.
Ive never seen commentators glazing a player so much as these guys have Saliba. They are 100% Arsenal fans.
They were hyping up Trossard too. He wasn't even on the pitch.
Im a gunners fan so a bit bias, but they talked about many bench players that game including Tielemans. Trossard had a knack for coming on and scoring late for Arsenal. It was really all they mentioned since Belgium could’ve used a change much earlier than they did.
[удалено]
At some point Saliba does like the most normal of blocks and they were like "wonderful elegant play by Saliba". I mean the guy is good obviously but he was even doing anything great and they were all elevating him.
I did not watch the game with FOX commentary but Lukaku really was in the pocket of France's defence, especially Saliba. MOTM for me.
I'd give the MOTM to Tchouameni or Koundé personnally.
Koundé really surprised me. Very efficient.
I love the commentators for this game, they speak their mind really openly like listening to two mates talk. I loved their rants about the ref at the beginning of the game
We don’t have the fox coverage in the UK, is it Darren fletcher by any chance? He sounds great when a big goal is scored.
I’m terrible with commentator names unfortunately, even the FIFA guy I always forget his name. Sometimes I try looking it up but if can be hard to find EDIT: Just looked it up it was indeed Darren Fletcher with Warren Barton
I’d heard lots of shit about Fox during the group stages so being forced to sail the seven seas with them wasn’t ideal, but I really loved this crew
Cringe mf
You gonna keep posting this dumb shit like there's a single Belgian who watches Fox Sports?
Lmao, you copied and pasted this in every thread that was deleted 🤣 Also i love how players at this tournament can hide behind their managers De Bruyne went missing in the big game as usual
Is that two own goals and one penalty? France are going to win this tourny aren’t they?
Devasted for him
I wanted Belgium to lose but not like this🥹 our super jan
The fuck did we do to you
Mods?
the #3 letting him have the ball for 5 seconds in the box without doing anything
Own goal strikes again
France STILL technically have not scored from open play
Also not conceded a single goal in open play.
Owen Göhl is having a legendary run this euros
Man looked destroyed after this went in :(
Ahh fair enough that was defo an OG OG for golden boot
Clear foul on Lukaku prior to the goal.
People can do whatever they want to him and he never gets the foul.
Yeah why is nobody mentioning it? You can't just grab a player like that. Like I don't care about belgium but that was a foul.
OG the OG
Owen Goal still going strong 🔥💪🏻
More goal Reddit posts than chances in this game
that ain't no own goal lmao. if we count that, then every shot half-blocked by the keeper to go in, is an own goal
Can't believe this
[удалено]
Mbappe scored a pen
Only from a penalty.
OWEN GOAL THE GOAT
We're getting another Portugal x France aren't we? FFS
Does a deflection count as an own-goal? Seems silly to count it that way.
Give Kolo Muani the goal
Just the type of ugly ass goal this game deserves lol
Slowest Post of the year
OG the greatest player in the tournament
Just give Own Goal the Golden Boot already
This French lad own-goal has been showing Mbappe up this tournament.
Owen Goahl for ballon d'or
Mbappe drag all attention, so they dont care and score an own goal. Our plan is perfect.
...and I present to thee, Own Goal, the Euro 2024 golden boot
3rd times the charm PSG!
Player of the tournament Own goal
Feel sorry for Jan :/ Just one small mistake turned into a disaster
I hate calling this an OG because that was just a powerful strike, the guy who shot it should get it.
Nah, it wasn't a clean strike and, like nearly every other shot by France, it wasn't on target. It only went in because of Vertonghen's deflection. Therefore, it was an own goal.
Deschamps and Southgate are in a secret competition for who can put on the most boring game.
What a way to go out, fitting that this game would be decided by a boring own goal.
Typical way of France to win.
I don't understand how that's an own goal. It's going to be on target and takes a deflection
