1. The Group of Death is clearly going to be slow and painful in nature.
2. After his terrible performance in the Champions League final and almost being non-existent for most of this match, Mario Gomez produced a decisive piece of quality. And we were just pleased to see a goal.
3. Damn you, Chelsea. OTP is holding you accountable for that. Portugal saw what you did to Bayern Munich and decided it would work against their players again.
4. Raul Meireles’s hair appears to have crawled onto the head of his midfield partner Miguel Veloso and found a new home.
5. Joachim Löw is obviously not the smartest cookie. He always gets caught picking his nose and eating it. Surely he knows the cameras are on him by now?
6. OTP will forgive him his nose-picking since he has against decided to adopt a smart casual staff uniform for himself and assistant Hansi Flick. They’re likely to be the smartest management team at the tournament, again.
7. That was the best European Championship performance by Hummels since Denmark’s Euro 92 kit. Take a bow, Mads.
8. Bits of paper are missiles, apparently. The repeated threats by the stadium announcerto abandon the match over the Germany fans’ balled up paper didn’t really convince anyone.
9. Jose Mourinho loves a dirty text message. Or perhaps he was just enjoying our in-game tweets.
10. Footballers should not be spending half-time doing their hair. Cristiano Ronaldo went in at the break with a side-parting and returned with a massive quiff. He was unable to make an impact with either style.
