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!

But Danmark wa slucky , Ned has greta chances, better, maybe best chance sin this tpournament, game was awesoem, fats interesting, well BTW Ned craited better chances how Rus and specely more

Lviv
Germany 1-0 Portugal
Mario Gomez 72

The Dutch can still go through, but losing to Denmark makes that task much more difficult. It's unlikely they will beat Germany, so I think their only realistic chance of going through is for Denmark and Portugal to get a draw, and then they will need to beat Portugal in their last group game. I agree with Marcel that the Dutch are playing like a bunch of individuals playing for themselves, and not as a team. This is something that will have to change if they are to have any chance of progressing and going far in the tournament. But the Dutch have had problems with that (team spirit) for a long time now. There is a lot of talent in that team, but until they start playing as a team, and not for individual glory, that talent will not take them very far. As for Denmark winning the championship... well nobody gave them a hope in '92 and they won, so nothing's impossible!

Should be some more good footy to come tomorrow, and I shall be rooting for the Irish! Spain should beat Italy, but you can never ever count the Italians out, they always have a chance.


teh 92 Danish team was a lot better than the current one. And half, if not more, of the team were more or less in competition at the moment the team was called up. And the others had just finished their respective competitions. So all the stories about the members getting call ups while on the beach on vacation are all a myth

Like I said that vacation story is an urban myth. Half the players were still active in the Danish competition the moment the Danish team was called up and the other half had just finished the competitions with their foreign teams. The Danish coach had already told all his players not to leave for vacation just yet because there would be a slight possibility that the Danish team would be called up to replace Yugoslavia.

simple...

it was created by the Danes themselves to manouvre them into a totally underdog position and let their opposition think lightly of them. Such as the Dutch: "oh we're facing a team that's physically out of shape and were on vacation so that should be an easy match"

That is very true, but the current Danish side is arguably better than the Greek side who won Euro 2004, so nothing's impossible!

I had heard those stories about some of the '92 Danish team members getting call-ups whilst on the beach...

It doesn't surprise me to hear that those stories were false, in hindsight it was a bit too outlandish and far fetched to have much chance of being true.

Dunno, but I guess it's not working, and I think Torres or Negredo will play in the second half.

Spain 1 Italy 1

Probably the right result in the end. Italy probably were the better team for most of the match until Spain scored, after which, Spain had the Italians by the throat, and really should have won, but Torres fluffed two great chances that really he should have put away. Even during Spain's period of dominance though, Italy had two really good chances themselves to get a second goal. Italy certainly gave a better account of themselves than they did in the last world cup, that's for sure!

Spain 1-1 Italia
Cesc Fabregas 64 Antonio D Natale 61

WHY THIS GAME WAS 1th GAME IN DAY
Usualy such games was lather on

I did not enjoy much this game, it was good, but more opening, more play off type game, this wasnt good, but still not bad at all
Italia didnt play typical italian , thay attack, but Italian attacks was great and Bolatelli is a blooper , such waste , but D natale did it and Spain come beck great way, in end Spain attack more, lil dangerose but Buffon or Italian defebnders and forvards read game well and typical italian style
1-1 was good result now depends frtom both, how thay deal whit outsiders

Really good match though. I loved the way Spain were playing in the 2nd half. They totally dominated. Torres just messed up two really simple chances.

Once Spain got the goal, they really took control of the game, and should have won. But the Italians still almost snuck a goal in themselves during that time.
