Euro 2012

[porterjack]

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

and you have to suffer the Vancouver whitecaps and the canucks and you never get much snow
and did i mention the BC lions

geez

i am surprised you are not suicidal

still, nice scenery

Who does Affelay play for now?

I've never rated him.

 

[Springsteen]

Barcelona.

Well...plays a kind word, though he was injured for ages last season.

Gomez is so awesome when he wants to be.

 

[Springsteen]

That pass from Bastian was just beautiful.

 

[Zorak]

Germany look tasty. Love that counter attacking football, I find it much more exciting than Spain's style.

 

[Zorak]

Amazing what a bit of pressing can do. The Dutch suddenly decide to get stuck in and they're right back in it.

 

[Springsteen]

Indeed. Though Germany have been the better team overall.

Germany need one more point to be absolutely certain of qualifying. Holland need to beat Portugal and hope Germany beat Denmark, and have a better goal difference overall.

 

[porterjack]

Looks like dutch gotta win by two
And germany win for both to go through

 

[Tuffdisc]

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

Its only suspended i.e. if it happens again, the points will be deducted at UEFA's discretion

 

[CaptainTurtles]

Anyone putting any money into the games? I'm not quite sure who/what to go for today....

 

[Springsteen]

I've only had the bets I've already mentioned. None on individual games.

 

[Springsteen]

Croatia get a draw from Italy. Much better result for Croatia obviously but in a sense it still puts them in danger. You'd expect Spain to beat Ireland. Croatia would need to get something off Spain in the last game (mind you Spain would have to get something too) and hope Italy don't beat Ireland. It's all set up rather nicely.

fully expect spain to beat ireland, then spain beat coatia and italy beat irleand

italy and spain through, then England finishing second to France will play Italy

and a bunch of limey gangsters in minis will rob some museum

 

[Springsteen]

Spain put a comprehensive end to Ireland's campaign with a 4-0 win. Torres got a couple, Fabregas and Silva got the others.

 

[Zorak]

Don't worry though Ireland, your fans are great! *condescending pat on their heads*

I wonder if the Irish get sick of hearing how great they are as fans? Even I think it's a bit abasing...

 

[Springsteen]

Play suspended in the France vs Ukraine game, it looks really bad weather though, really heavy rain and lightning.

 

[Yorick]

It's back on now. The pitch is still a little wet, but impressive dry compared to what is was like an hour ago.

 

[Zorak]

France need to send Benzema home. He's shit.
He never gets in the box, and all his shots are tame 30 yarders...

bet this guy gets in the box

 

[Springsteen]

Benzema's not used to playing centre forward, he usually plays slightly deeper for Real Madrid, France should accommodate him. Not a terrific half in truth, a draw probably suits Ukraine. France need to come out and attack more.
