I seen that there is a football thread, but felt that a big tournament like Euro 2012 deserved it's own thread. So here it is!

I was really impressed by the Russians. The Czech Republic are no slouches, but Russia just seemed to have too much for them to cope with. They should definitely top their group. The Poland v Greece match was very exciting, even though controversy played a large part in that. I dunno what the referee was thinking, as both of the yellow cards which led to Papastathopoulos' sending off weren't even fouls, let alone yellow cards! The Greeks showed such spirit in the 2nd half to come back with 10 men, and I felt they deserved to win it, shame they only got a draw...

Can't wait for the 2 games today, they should both be great!

even Collina (head of referees at the EC) said the goal should be allowed.


Colina said also there was 13 moments when refs say wrong offside , 13 times errors



Gawwwd, 2009 guys, offside is different aka Guardiola spotted this, thus Spain, thus there dominace since 2009.

Will definitely win money on this game, ive signed for about 5 sites free promotional bets. Czechs to go through, portugal to go through, Portugal to win, draw and a long shot on Jiracek to score outside the box. Hope Portugal win an Jirecek scores outside the box.

Think Moutinho will boss the game, an the Czechs attack the right cos Ronaldo his too much of a show pony to get back and defend. 2-1 Czechs win.

Baz is correct. The Ukrainian disallowed goal was definitely offside. No doubt about it.

Czech Republic vs Portugal in a few minutes!

Portugal are the favourites, but it definitely wouldn't surprise me if the Czech's pulled off an upset here. Hope they can do it!

Sweden go out with a bang


Last I heard they were beating France 2-0... which is quite unbelievable! lol They'll definitely now rue bottling it against Ukraine in the opening game... it's a shame they didn't make it through.


I saw the first goal by Zlatan, I must say it was beautiful. We were quite glad at home... The team can at least go home happy.

Marcel - Porttugal plays attacking football why you dont like it, same real madrid and chelsea , why you dont like those teams



BTW Italy wrote history, I was trying remeber who scored last free kick in EC and WCX and my visual memory say it was Jose Luis Chilavert a Paraguian goalkeeper Paraguay vs France , but Otvind says David Backehm England vs Equador(I dont remeber ity visialy) now ity was Andrea Pirlo .... ITALIA VS HRVATSKA , there is no such players like Sinisa Mihajlovic, Daid Backhem, Rivelino, Jose Lois Chilavert nowdays who was dangerose ..... old school element is dead in football

Quarter Final Nr 1 in Warshaw

Czceh 0-1 Portugal
C Ronalod 79

Cz played good only 20min after it Por re take attacking options and try to do it and did it and criate chances , C Ronaldo has good chance also offside goal in secend, cz simply defending own goals and hoping to penalties, I dont know why , not enought fuel, but such way is not possible win a game, Portugal did and try to attack and ok C Ronaldo header was luck, + cz defenders make mistace but i think Por was better and deserve to win

QATAR WE ARE COMMING

Referees make more errors in extreme heat


Should be a disaster. Putting World Cups in countries without a football culture (vuvuzela's for feck sake!) an now in the middle of nowhere in the blazing heat in a nation operating under near Shia law. Plus World Cups are too big, enjoy the Euros more. Euros are a, near enough, knock out competition, every game is tough. Looks like Blatter/Platini need to 'fix' the European championship too, as the next EC is going to have an extra 8 teams.

Again people talking crap about stuff they know shit about.
I don't even know where to begin with, first : Qatar is one of the most evolved Asian countries in terms of sports and especially football, their league is really enjoyable and their national team is solid
second : what is near Shia law >_< and what does it have to do with hosting the WC
and third : what the hell is wrong with vuvuzelas !

Sorry sharia law. First, theyve never qualified for a world cup, had only one functioning stadium before they got the WC an only been playing football for a couple of decades. Second, its tiny, hot and you cant have a drink or be lesbian/gay without been locked up. Third, everything. Yes its more liberal and im hoping to be proved wrong, but i think Russia is a much better location to host a WC.

You're quite wrong, again
The had many functional stadiums and this is something I'm sure of but they probably wanted to build something special for the occasion. And you know who has only been playing football for a couple of decades ?. the answer is Japan, the finest Asian national team !
The fact that it's tiny is irrelevant as long as they can handle the large numbers of fans coming to watch the WC.
Anyway I don't want to make a big deal out of this, I just hope things work out for the best

Miroslav Klose 68
Marco reus 74

I was write whit winner and how much winning team will score but Gre score one more how I predict

1th how people can wtach footbvall in bar and drink alcohol, I was driking 2 Norlands Guld + 2 shots of aboslut vodka and 2 shots of blanded whisky
I didnt get much cant analise game, so seems it was last alcohol in my life

Greece plöayed not good defending, but IMO aganst other teams this tackique can work, but also it worked now it was 1-1 , because even how good Ger plöayed thay were afraid of goals and realy show good game after greeks equalize result, after it ge ropen and play how Ger shood play and Greece broke down, how it shood be but Pen, why it was other cases such situations in this EC no pens

Spain 2-0 France
Xabi Alonso, 19, 90+1 PEN

Game was weird but it was better to watch since I was sobber, a lot of interesting actions and fats movement hepened in midle of field, but all dengerose defenders stoped
Icer casilias saved some good ones8I dont like him because he is real m and we all know what I think about that team, vamos atletico ) but he is good, some dengerose moved french defenders stoped to, but Spain wa s´lil better and France ctiated somethimg, well both teams has good chances mext time use more
But penalty was weird, I have seen simmilar cases in this EC where ref dont whsitle, seems UEFA policy is make Spain in Final?

Semi Final Nr 1
Spain vs Portugal 0-1 Portugal(my prognoses)

It will be last WC 1/8 repetition, but I think this time we will have new winner, Spain will run out of luck this time and take and win this semies and this is Portugalw ay to final and maybe gold? Spain seems lil sleepy on last 2 big wins in majour tournamentsm thay seems is not so hungry anymore, but still it will be hard game and fight

Italy did deserve to win.... I definitely did think it might be our year though. Going into the game, I thought England and Italy were pretty even, so I was surprised at how much Italy dominated the game... I guess it just wasnt to be.

Now, I hope it's Germany and Spain in the final, and that Germany beat them.

England 0-0 Italy ... Italy won on penalty shoot out

I guessed It will win in Pen, so 2 guesses in quarters

When I was watching a game I thought I will say all bloopers name, because Italy criated chances alot of, D Natale, anothe rguy in OT, + Balotelli what a blooper, if one player once pe rgame miss such chance, but he miss 5 good one
Italy loosing it game, no more typicxal defensive, old traditions is dying, and It start attack, criate great chnaces still playing possitional football, Eng play also good, there was some good chances 1th 20min + some other , but italy was lil better and all whaty Itaky do was mor eprofesinal, more skilled
This is quancequences how foreners dominate in English Premierleuage , now I need bocklet to know Eng players, some years ago I know all,
Penalties remeber I told about England has no good goaly, here i is, some shood be saved and Buffon in Ityaly did some good saves this is what kind goaly needs England
I hope I remeber all what i want to say

SEMI FINAL
Italy vs Germany 0-1

This is hard , seems Schweinsteiger wont play and this will be WC 2006 semies repeat but somehwo I belive this time Ger will have a luck and team will win, thay have better forvards and all attacking are more organised, Italian defenders let one goal in and forvardsd will not get beck goal, so I have weird feeling , I hope Im wrong

That is true, though I think the difference in the end was Pirlo. And I was disappointed that Steven Gerrard wasn't able to have a similar impact on the game with his quality. Pirlo was dictating the play with his movement and his passing, and I don't think we did enough to shackle him. Honestly, I don't think Italy are that much better than us, we just didn't really perform as well as we can, the first 20/25 minutes aside. Though in this game, we were lucky it went to penalties, because the Italians missed so many chances to win the game before it came to that. I definitely don't think Italy can afford to squander that many chances against Germany and go through.
