A suggestion, let's do these threads on a daily basis so we don't scroll like crazy. I'm at a function this afternoon/evening but hoping to get back in time for kick-off of the Germany game.
Tonight it's Germany vs Curacao at 7pm and Netherlands vs Japan at 10pm. Here's the thread.
Catch you football fans later.
PS Denny, please go ahead with a prediction thread. I'm saying Spain beating England in the final with France and Portugal as the losing semifinalists.
Just got home in time to see the second half start. Germany 3-1 up at half time and now Kimmich and Musiala combine to score right at the start of the half to put Germany up 4-1.
Now 5-1 Natahaniel Brown the scorer.
Make that 6-1, Deniz Undav the latest scorer. Curacao are trying hard but they're no match.
Kai Havertz gets his second of the night to make it 7-1.
Final score 7-1.
Netherlands vs Japan up next.
Half time in the Netherlands vs Japan game and it's 0-0. Not much to report. Neither side taking any risks so very few chances.
1-0 Netherlands. Virgil van Dijk the scorer.

Summerville puts Netherlands back in front. .

Unable to watch, looks like I've missed a cracker
It finishes 2-2. Great second half. Netherlands will consider that two points dropped but Japan were very good.

Multitude of dejected Ecuadorian fans in stadium ... unbelievable number actually, probably have ICE wishing, 'if only'.
