The official UEFA Euro '08 Thread

[petereanima]

man, yesterdays match just PROVED again that austria national-eleven was, is and always will be a retarted bunch of shitheads. in the first 15 minutes there were 3, i repeat: THREE 100%-percent-chances, which just have to be realized.

polands goal was completely offside, the interview on austrias TV with the polish coach afterwards was pretty funny how he denied everything "i cannot see any offside here, don't know where you see this" - and yeah, the penalty was a little bit too much, but otherwise: he didn't give the first one, which should have been a 100%-penatly, so this was kinda fair i think.

anyway, i hope that latest on monday this whole over-ptariotism-shit over here will end.

This is why I want Germany to loose.
Schweinsteiger's foul against Croatia was symbolic: They're just dickheads, and they just can't ever confess if someone's better then them.

 

[petereanima]

exactly!

 

[E Lucevan Le Stelle]

Ok.. fuck.. that's going to be painful..

At least Croatia owned Germany...

That was one of the outcomes I've been looking for...

being British and all, and therefore nowhere to be seen...

The losing of Germany means a winning of Europe!

polands goal was completely offside

,
true

and yeah, the penalty was a little bit too much, but otherwise:

the guy with blond dyed hair from Austria fauled Bak first, he should recive yellow card not Bak

I was hoping Germany would win

Germany will be lucky to get a draw against Austria on monday, seeing how they played yesterday... How our media ever saw us as some kind of favorite is way beyond me

 

[playstopause]

Ok, so Netherlands OWNED France.

Next is France vs Italy. Now that's going to be epic, as both tems needs to win to qualify.

I don't get it... Someone can explain, please?

sorry, they put it out of server. It was this pic

I hope the Netherlands will let Rumania win, so that Italy and France are out.
And also Austria should win against Germany, so they're kicked out.
That way, it would be a REALLY interresting championship.

true.

despite the fact that i hate him most of all austria players, he is a complete dickhead.

so, today is austrias last match and i can see already thousand of little flags (which every asshole has now on his car) will lay round on the streets tomorrow.

 

[playstopause]

Italy qualifies.

 

[Gilbucci]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

... And Russia beats Sweden and makes it to the quarterfinals...

First time in their history.

 

[Guitarwizard]

Well, I always knew there were some football talents on 1/6 of the world's surface.

 

[arktan]

WHAT? The Rus beat the shit out of vikings?

Russia in the quarters? This is gonna be pretty interesting...

 

[Dormant]

... And Russia beats Sweden and makes it to the quarterfinals...

First time in their history.

That's not strictly true. The USSR reached the Final of Euro 88, where they lost to Holland (and Van Basten scored one of the most amazing goals in world football).

Seeing as the Russian Federation has only been around since 1991 when the Soviet Union was dissolved and there have only been 8 tournaments since then (and particularly taking into consideration that most of the best players in the Soviet side were from Ukraine) it's not surprising.

Russia were superb last night. Hiddink has really got them playing attractive fast paced football. Don't expect them to go much further though.

 

[playstopause]

And it's quarterfinals time!!!

Anyone watching Germany against Portugal?
