Euro 2012

[Springsteen]

2-0. Might be an own goal. Czech Republic look to be staying in the Euros for now.

 

[Springsteen]

Dzagoev is going to make me rich.

Top scorer at the moment.

 

[Zorak]

Didn't even know who he was, just wanted to pick a Russian who had good odds.

 

[skyblue]

the lad who scored the polish goal,incredible story....aged 10 he witnessed his father murder his mother,then his grandmother raised him...his uncle was a pro footballer who encouraged him

 

[Yorick]

Wow.

I will be following this thread some.

 

[Springsteen]

Denmark vs Portugal today, followed by Germany vs Holland. If Denmark and Germany win, Portugal and Holland will be out. Intriguing.

 

[Tuffdisc]

Good match last night between Poland and Russia. Lots of tension before the game though

 

[Springsteen]

I don't think the march beforehand by the Russians helped it any, there was already tension (I know it was Russia day but still) and it just escalated it.

UEFA have fined Russia €120,000 and given them a suspended 6 point deduction for the next European Championship qualifying stages for the trouble during their opening game at the Euros. Considering UEFA's history of punishment, that's pretty big. I think they are trying to gain a better image for themselves to a point, though that's just the cynic in me.

 

[Zorak]

They might as well not turn up to the next euro's then.

 

[Springsteen]

Been a good half between Portugal and Denmark. Denmark have looked awful defensively but remain in the game. Really enjoyed the Euros so far, the games have been great overall, much better than the last World Cup.

whomever, I assume local Polish (Warsaw) authorities, approved the march of Russian fans on the 12 of June ( of all days) should be held criminably repsonsible for inciting riot - that was plain stupid

 

[Springsteen]

It was.

Ronaldo just missed a good one-on-one chance. My 30/1 bet I got off the local bookie on him not to score a goal in this tournament is looking good.

 

[Yorick]

Ronaldo is some Donkey.

 

[Springsteen]

2-2, Portugal have well and truly fucked themselves here. They need to score again badly.

 

[Zorak]

Just not happening for Ronaldo today, everyone can have these days.

Although technicallly, he just got an assist with that goal

 

[Zorak]

Or not, thought Varela booted it against Ronaldo at first but he just miscued.

 

[Springsteen]

Huge win for Portugal there, they're on 3 points along with two others, Holland have none. What would be great from a neutral perspective is if Holland won tonight so any two of four could go through. In reality I think Germany will beat Holland and knock them out.

 

[porterjack]

massive pressure on the dutch now

i dont hey have the balls to cope

 

[Yorick]

An all-three pointer group would be hella hot. Especially this group.

In my time zone the first game of the day starts at 9AM & the second at 11:45AM. I've barely gone outside since it's started, completely taken over my life. I pay roughly $90 a month for a bus pass and haven't used it once so far :eek
