The Official "Unofficial" Euro 2012 Thread

You are a blind idiot then, because he wrote it down.

Rio had some interesting things to say about England's exit...

“When we faced Pirlo for United against AC Milan a couple of seasons ago, our gaffer stuck Park Ji-Sung on him and he never let him out of his sight. We won the game 4-0 and I bet when Pirlo woke up the next day he thought Park was lying beside him he had stayed that close. “Pirlo is always dangerous when he is allowed time and space but the way to try and stop him is to get someone near to him. “Mind you, that isn’t always easy and the way he played, at the age of 33, gives all us over 30s hope. He’s an inspiration.

“If Pirlo was English would he have made the squad let alone been on the pitch?

Ferdinand added: “The most damming statistic of them all was that one which showed our best passing combination was between Joe Hart and Andy Carroll.
“That would have been bad enough if Carroll had played the whole game but it’s even worse when you realise he came on as sub after an hour.
“We are better than that, nobody can be proud of that stat.”

I really want to see a Italy v Spain final.. it will be interesting to see how much time Pirlo has on the ball.. that would be 3 games played in a week for him too, I doubt he can handle it.

 

[Raven]

Did you miss the groups then?

His fitness is outstanding and he's come off the back of a Scudetto winning season with Juve where he played most matches.

The man is a machine. Milan made a fuck-up by releasing him on a free.

Ohhh yeah woops

 

[Keitanz]

Now UEFA are not letting Spain have a minute silence tonight for Miki Roque... sigh

 

[Raven]

I thought he was excellent in The Wrestler

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Now UEFA are not letting Spain have a minute silence tonight for Miki Roque... sigh

Apparently the reason why there's no minute of silence for Miki Roqué is because the RFEF (Spanish football fed) didn't ask for one..

 

[Billargh]

Please for the love of God Portugal, knock these boring fuckers out.

 

[Cerb]

Fuck me that was a foul.

 

[Cerb]

Fucking Uefalona getting decisions as usual

 

[Raven]

Spain really don't like it up um do they? Just like Barca.

 

[old.user4556]

DAFUQ?

 

[Raven]

I wonder how much the ref got under his pillow this morning?

 

[Billargh]

This ref, unreal.

 

[soze]

That was so fucking stupid

 

[rynnor]

Worst Ref Ever!!!

 

[rynnor]

Oh apparently the Spanish got to choose the ref

 

[Raven]

Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny too

 

[Cerb]

That should be bloody Ramos off now.

 

[cHodAX]

Dirty cheating bastards, twice now and it is blatant.

 

[Billargh]

Oh look, a foul and half the Spanish team hounds the ref.

 

[Deebs]

Christ, I want Portugal to buttfuck the Spanish team and send a message to those cunts at UEFA. Fucking biased referring to a fucking boring football team.

Nani is amazing in this game.

 

[cHodAX]

Nani is amazing in this game.

Chasing a new contract or a move!

 

[Cerb]

We're not winning so lets take off our only forward for a midfielder and bore people some more

 

[Ch3tan]

Spain are such cunts... paying off the ref in a major finals, have they no shame?

really hope Ronny and Nani butt fuck them.
