It's been on non-stop for the past few days. All day, usually 3 games/day on FS1
So great to have soccer on tv mid-day, felt like a retired guy the past week as I took off work for Thanksgiving and binged watched it.

Thank God Italy tied Ukraine. If we had to go into another playoff, I may have had a heart attack.
Kind of sucks b/c a win would have put us in pod 3, and not have such a tough task w/the draw at pod 4, but I'll take it.

Chiesa missed a sitter off a corner and they had multiple other chances. To Ukraine's credit, they had two golden opportunities as well

Gigi (Donnaruma, not Buffoun, though he was there too on the sidelines as an aide to the coaching staff) made a great save on a blast right outside the box, then on a bad giveaway by their once stout D, made a great save on a point-blank shot to keep it even at 0.

Looking forward to watching the tourney this summer in Germany!

Euro's is very underrated competition - only Champions League is better IMO. World Cup is great (and passion is enormous) but quality of soccer is not always there - pretty much every team in Euro's is really good (no flukes).

21 slots filled. 3 remain. Greece got a really good draw so hopefully we get back in the finals this time!
