CMON RUSSIA.

got them in the work sweepstake, yes

After the first game against Spain I was really fearing the worst

 

[Vladamir]

I think Italy will win tommorow, Spain looked very iffy against Sweden.

A point to note too; the teams who rested their first-team players in their final group game so far have all gone out (Portugal, Croatia & Holland).

Hoping for an Italy win & cleansheet tommorow for my FF team

 

[Platin]

Looks more and more like Italy will win this tournament, I don't think Spain can take them, nor do I think Russia can keep this up. But you never know!

 

[Lucius]

Swede sounds bitter to me ^^.

Russia were great vs Holland, they will provide a real test for Italy or Spain.

 

[Urgluf]

very cool

was watching the game surrounded by 50 Holland fans. Me wearing my arshavin shirt. Awesome

HUP HOLLAND HUP

I'm actually less bitter now. It just shows we lost to a great team.

..why did we dismiss Guus hiddink again? ffs

 

[Hawkwind]

..why did we dismiss Guus hiddink again? ffs

Cos he couldn't unite all the prima donnas and get them to play nice together!

 

[Vasconcelos]

Shit!

Holland had to make the worst match in this euro yesterday ffs (and Russia the best)...

Sneijder was totally out of his mind. Abusing solo play, blaming fellow team8s, exausted.... i was like wtf?! thats not the wesley I know

As I said, its gonna be Italy - Germany for the final game


PS: Arshavin... OMG! pure class!! for a moment I thought I was watching Romario once again

 

[ECA]

Russia Turkey Final For Great Snooze.

 

[Septima]

Russia is really impressive. This EC looks more and more like the 1994 WC, very open and impredictible. Let's see if Italy makes it to the final again.

Sneijder is a prick. Not only does he play dirty, but he also spits on other players (atleast when he played for Ajax).

Great footy player tho. You can't take that away from him.

 

[amodien]

Bye bye Italy

Hope Russia do Spain though!

 

[CorNokZ]

Bye bye Italy! What a shitty match tho..

4 matches and 3 goals just doesn't give you any titles! Spain - Russia will be entertaining I reckon

 

[cog]

God im so glad Spain won that.

Great work by Casillas.

 

[Olgaline]

YES!
Viva la football

Bye Bye Italy,
A victory for attractive football indeed,

 

[Tasslehoff]

Italy, fuck off!

 

[Septima]

Im' all the way for Russia now

 

[Urgluf]

looking forward to russia - spain.

Really wondering who will face germany in the final ;x

 

[Vasconcelos]

FUKIN YESZSSSSSSSSSS!

 

[megadave]

Thank god italy went out, they really did suck.

Wouldnt be suprised if Russia beat Spain but i wouldnt bet on it.

 

[AngelHeal]

...bye bye to poul of death

italians had chances. but i thought the spanish were better.


penaltys suck anyway

 

[Wonk]

shit match, good result

 

[Levin]

Shame spain and Russia have to meet in the semi, otherwise we could have had two group D teams in the final.

 

[Olgaline]

aflik they changed it due to the fact that thats exactly what happend in 2004 with portugal and Greece?

Exactly

 

[Shagrat]

Think Russia will do better against Spain than they would have against Italy tbh.

The 2 full backs pushing up all the time really seemed to hinder the Dutch.

 

[Hawkwind]

I hope spain go all the way. Everyone I know was doubting them saying they're good but always choke. I had faith and still think they can beat the Commies and win.

I'm just so glad Portugal did not do it.

Go SPAAAAAIIIIIINNNN!!!

 

[Thorwyn]

Kudos to Turkey!
That´s how footbal is supposed to be played! Not with diving superstars!

This game deserves respect. Germany played badly, but for a b-team (due to injuries etc), this was a superb performance by Turkey. Good game, lots of fun, lots of beer.

 

[Golena]

Agree,
Was really hoping they were going to pull out another last minute miracle after that performance as they deserved it!
