– Oh, I didn’t know that. What? This is how Sweden’s Stina Blackstenius reacted when she heard what had happened on the track during the group stage match against Portugal. The opposing team’s Dolores Silva kept her mouth shut, sank down on all fours, and threw up on the EC grass – apparently without the commentators and opponents realizing what was happening. NERVOUS: Portugal captain Dolores Silva.

Gigantic VAR blemish Portugal lost the match against Sweden, so it ended up being a rough day at work in several ways for captain Silva, but she is by no means the only one who has had a hard time during the EC. According to the Swedes’ goalkeeper Zećira Mušović, VAR has also occasionally failed in the championship. – A big joke, she wrote on Twitter, after it became known that the referees in the VAR room put the offside line in the wrong place, which led to Sweden having a goal wrongly canceled against Switzerland.

Dissolved in tears, the VAR nonsense made it clear that there are only human beings in the VAR room, too, and human beings can, as is well known, make mistakes. Austria goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger can probably sign for that. BROKEN: Manuela Zinsberger.

When the judge was dismissed shortly afterwards, she completely broke down. – I apologize to the team, she said to news after having collected herself a bit. THE MISTAKE: Here you can see what caused Zinsberger to break. Records There have of course also been many enormous sporting achievements. Last Saturday, Dutch Daphne van Domselaar got the experts to bring out the big words. England’s game with Norway also caused astonishment, and the Daily Telegraph used the opportunity to brush off Bjørge Lillelien’s classic radio tirade from 1981. “Hell of a beating”, read the newspaper’s headline after the EC party on home soil. And the great performances have meant that the public has flocked to the EC arenas. Already when there were 15 matches, the championship had gathered more participants than any previous EC.
