The Official "Unofficial" Euro 2012 Thread

[ECA]

If you expect england to lose every game and look like mongs then you get to be pleasantly surprised whenever they win!

 

[Shagrat]

another token gesture?

The Croatian Football Federation have been fined 80,000 euros (£64,561) for "the setting-off and throwing of fireworks and the improper conduct of supporters (racist chants, racist symbols)" at Thursday's match against Italy

that's just a completely piddling amount isnt it like theyre going to do a fuck about it when they've probably got that kind of money stuck down the back of the sofa

 

[Tuthmes]

I got a feeling Rooney is gonne be epic tonight!

and its funny that UEFA judge racism and fireworks to be at the same level as showing a "non authorised" company logo on some underwear...

Actually they judge it to be of lower importance: bendter got 100k Euro + 1 day game ban.

Russia got 120k + a suspended pts. sentence (- 6 pts. if it happens again "as if, that'll be realized ever!")

Croatia got 80k

No suprise, but a joke none the less.

Race as been a major issue during these games, and the world has been watching.
The result ? Uefa & Fifa dropped the ball, why ? The message: Money > People.

Yet it baffles me that we even still need to address such an issue, the colour of a persons skin in 2012.

The media have succeeded in putting a shit ton of pressure on him

He hasn't played for weeks.. I'll be surprised if he plays well tonight.

 

[megadave]

I think he'll be rubbish.

 

[Shagrat]

Woohoo here we go!!!!!!

 

[rynnor]

Uh-oh - we look very deep...

 

[rynnor]

Spudhead looks sluggish - hope he wakes up soon.

 

[Turamber]

Commentators getting much too excited whenever Rooney is on the ball, stupid level of expectation.

 

[Olgaline]

Forza Ukraine!
England are beeing dominated atm.

 

[rynnor]

Usually England sit back like this after they have scored a goal?

 

[rynnor]

Jeez Milner in shocking pass shocka!

 

[Gwadien]

Rooneh you bhastard.

 

[old.user4556]

Dominated? Really?

 

[Cerb]

Que burning effigies right?

 

[Turamber]

Milner is playing well. But Rooney? Sheesh.

 

[Keitanz]

Carroll would have buried that header

 

[Cerb]

At least Young has finally turned up for Engerlund right?

 

[Gwadien]

Gotta say, i love these balls from Terry and Gerrard to Young.

 

[Turamber]

Lush cross from Ashley Young, time for him to make his mark on the tournament.

 

[rynnor]

I tend to think Ukraine are burning up their energy in this half and will roll over in the second.

 

[Ormorof]

Rooney needs some lessons in how to head the ball from Bendtner

 

[Gwadien]

I tend to think Ukraine are burning up their energy in this half and will roll over in the second.

Would be nice, but it wouldn't if they planted 4-5 goals in their burning of energy!

 

[old.user4556]

Gerard has plays superb and accurate feeds.

 

[rynnor]

Its end to end stuff - good for the neutral - not good for England supporters nerves

 

[Keitanz]
