Football the European Championship thread

[Wonk]

Kk, my best guess is that you didn't watch that match then back in those days. Anyway am really sad for you but at least for another turn you'll have to bare with Italy.

haha, LOLOLOL.


fixed, eh? LMAO.

 

[Platin]

Hopefully Spain will kick the shit out of the greasy Italians! Can't stand them!

Hopefully Sweden will go through, cause I don't like Zeni.. I mean Russia! Just a shame they'll meet Holland then

It should be great, I want us to meet Holland because of the 2004 defeat. I don't think we can win though, but I'd rather see us go out in a boom than against the italian wankers.

We *should* win against Russia, we have history on our side

A friend has just posted me a rather humorous BBC page from 2003:

BBC SPORT | Football | Why England will win Euro 2008

Its an attempt to predict England's European Cup winning team based upon emerging talent =)

 

[AngelHeal]

Well... i rather had romania to the next round because they suck way more then italy does

Italy is well deserved 2nd. It was a penalty, and it was a red card.

Hopefully we can beat Gahn twice now.. i mean italy

 

[Olgaline]

you wont get to beat them twice tho, Spain will do the same to them as you did 2-0 or 3-0 ok maybe 3-1

also dont be so sure you can just simply beat sweden.

 

[CorNokZ]

As for the conspiracy you probably forgot that amusing 2-2 between Sweden and Denmark 4 years ago.

Haha! Your team played like shit and you didn't go through! Learn to live with it.. France has to! Scoring 3 goals in the grp stage as a possible Euro Champion team just isn't good enough and since you don't wanna face that your team just wasn't good enough you have to blame someone else!
Sweden 5 - 0 Bulgaria, Denmark 2 - 0 Bulgaria and Italy 2 - 1 Bulgaria.. As I said, Italy should always be considered as a possible winner and you should have played better! You didn't and didn't go through! Better luck this time, now that you're in the quarter finals..

The funny part is, italy always gets far in big tournaments when everyone hates them and everyone say's "spain will kick their asses with 3-0"!

might be, but i wouldn't really be suprised if they beat spain, and give NL a hard time in the next round.

Everyone hates italy because they just keep comming back.

Would be nice tho to finally see spain playing good on en EK or WK. they have SUCH a great team now..

 

[Wonk]

Everyone hates italy because they just keep comming back.

you're wrong.

 

[Olgaline]

well as I told the boss before last nights game,
I wanted to see Italy out, but If you asked me to bet money I'd have Bet Italy to win. (they didnt listen) they bet a draw and romania to win told them they'd loose thier money and they did and altho I'm not exactly thrilled over italy going through, I'm kinda glad that Rumania didnt go through either, seldom have a I seen such a boring round of football. I was personally hoping for France, but they simply havent shown they have what it takes this time around.

 

[Olgaline]

The Italians love Italy
and Wonk Luvs Italy!

 

[Aoami]

Lol at that BBC article!

'Chris Kirkland, 21 now, will be the world's finest goalkeeper by 2008, especially after another five years of shot-stopping practice at the back of Liverpool's attack-shy team.' ?

'Blackburn's Martin Taylor will be there to mop up when the siblings' rivalry causes them to lose concentration. ' When he's not breaking Eduardo's legs and getting relegated.

'David Dunn, Neil Mellor ' AHAHAHA

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Italy might as well win it.

It worked 2006. Shit play til the half-final, Frings not there and Germans who didn't realize that Italy actually went offensive mode in the 115th minute.

 

[Wonk]

The Italians love Italy
and Wonk Luvs Italy!

not really.

his reason for hating Italy is wrong. We don't hate them because of their comebacks.

 

[Olgaline]

aaah that a'way

 

[Olgaline]

lol
BBC SPORT | Football | Euro 2008 | Who's the guilty Dutch bench warmer?

 

[Vasconcelos]

Spain to lose in penalties or 0-1 with a weird goal from Panucci or the likes after a corner, scoring with the bum inside a melee, on minute 85, in the most boring match of the cup...

Its italy after all, i wouldnt be surprised to see a final Italy - Germany

 

[Olgaline]

has anyone seen sweden?
they are suposed to play a group match against rusia atm.

 

[Levin]

I don't know.. I think it's a Dr. Who episode where aliens took over the Swedish players' bodies and are trying to pose as them.

 

[Lethul]

The bloody point is that you hate Italian football, be my guest every1's entitled to his opinion (and i agree that they are playing bad atm) but crying over something that you can't deny is .. well .. childish?

Of course everyone hate Italian football, you took diving to a new level and you now have one of europeas most boring leagues. Nobody really likes italian football

 

[Lethul]

We are getting so raped

Russia has really nice offense atm tho

 

[AngelHeal]

watching some dutch videos on bbc sport..

damn we suck in speaking english.

its like robo-cop

 

[Jeremiah]

Russia are looking really impressive. That 2nd goal was pretty fantastic!

 

[Shagrat]

yep Russia really tearing strips off Sweden.

Unfortunate for them that winning this will just mean theyve got to play Holland next.

 

[Olgaline]

It's interresting to watch the differrence between Turkey and Sweden.
not that you can draw a direct comparison as such,

but in attitude....

 

[Olgaline]

Fully deserved tho for the rusians, cant take anything away from them.

 

[Jarahl]

Gutted Sweden

But wow Russia really did play some strong possession football.

 

[Lethul]

Hopefully this atleast means Lagerbäck will step down or get fired, one can only hope

 

[Olgaline]

How can you rejoice over this ?
dont you know how many vodkas will now have to sacrifice thier lives to accomidate the
festivitas that will follow this result.!?

why wont anyone think of the vodkas!

 

[Levin]

My god we sucked this game. No player came up to their normal standard. Wrong passes, giving the ball away, and mistakes in the defense. Even our goalie got a yellow card lol.

That said, Russia played well and good offensive football. I think their game vs Holland may well be the most entertaining quarter final to watch.
