i was reading up on 2020 euro qualification and it's super complex with the new Euro League.

Andorra, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Finland, Georgia, Gibraltar, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, San Marino

I imagine Ronaldo is a shoe in for Ballon D'or now

Depends how bad that knee is.

Did anyone catch a clip of Lloris on the save he made before the winner? Apparently he banged his knee on the post, and was rubbing it afterwards and leading up to Eders goal.

Yeah I saw that, the commentators were even mentioning that you could see on Eder's shot that Lloris didnt use his planting foot to push off to try for the save.

Lloris should have stayed down to get treatment then when the ball went out of play for the throwin

TSN did a big spotlight on it with the high camera after the game

he definitely was affected by it otherwise I think he makes that save 95% of the time

which when you think about it, it was caused by a free kick that shouldn't have ever been given (ball hit Eder's hand not Kos')

little things that effect a cup winner...

Belgium has fired Wilmots. Easy call there, too much talent to have underachieved in two tournaments in a row. Gotta think it'll be a coveted job given the talent level there is to work with.
