  • A view from SunSport's Martin Lipton from the Frankfurt Arena

    Colour me somewhat surprised.

    I went expecting an arrangement. And suddenly a football match broke out.

    Not even the biggest conspiracy theorist would be able to make any insinuations about the first half of this one - and if the two teams play things out more tamely after the break they have both earned the right.

    Romania, roared on by a yellow wall of sound,  have probably been the better side but Slovakia the more dangerous.

    Lots of fun, though, with the two teams making light of the still-incessant heat.

    Still suspect it might finish with less of a flourish, depending on what happens in Stuttgart.

    For now, though, no complaints from me. Good stuff.

  • Debate on the penalty call

    Both Danny Murphy and Ashely Williams have suggested that Romania's penalty call was wrong.

    The pair believe that a free-kick would have been the correct call and that to give a penalty was "harsh".

  • How it stands?

    With Belgium and Ukraine at 0-0 and this game now level - It's as you were in Group E.

    Sure there will be another twist to come.

    Dubravka went the wrong way, but not sure he would have had a chance if he went the right way.
