you pitchside at the nou camp there adolfo?
Edit: on topic, England will fail, manager is poor, squad is poor and players who dont deserve to be there are there and people who deserve to be there arent.
To be honest i'll be surprised if we score a goal in the tournament, no Rooney for the 1st two games, and whereas Defoe is decent, Andy Carroll and the inexperienced Danny Welbeck are useless and won't fire us to glory... heres hoping im proven wrong.
Ireland FTW

Indded, and this case with Therry and Ferdinands sucks also Gary Cahill is out after friendly match with Belgum ;/

It's Bernabeu last year mate. CL semifinals. We beat them 0 2.

Germany did the "we're not gonna show how awesome we are until the tournament starts" thing vs Switzerland, losing 3-5. :D I'm all hyped up.

letz hope rene ;p but i dont think that germany will leave the group :s letz hope the best for them ;p i would like to see another game germany vs poland ;p
-
Germany will leave group for sure ! i hope too then they meet us in quarterfinals ;D
-
I think Greece - Poland will be 1-0 or 1-1 at best, not many goals and Greece is more likely to win.
-
I bet :
2:0 vs greece
and
3:1 for Russia with Cech Rep.

I have 2-1 for Poland and 1-0 for Russia.
-
Dese, did you have a look at the Polish team recently? They're stronger than ever and playing at home, my guess for tonight is 3-0, for a good reason. :D
-
They're stronger than ever
what a lie compared to the 70 s
-
what a lie compared to the 70 s
Hi Mr. I take everything literally. :P They're stronger than they've been in the past 20 years for sure.
-
Id say 0-0 on 1st half, and 2-1 on 2nd for Poland
-

be happy you didnt say 30 ;D
-

3-0 !!! well, then I guess u havent heard that Greece has been qualifying top of the qualifying groups for Euros and World Cup in the last 10 years and that we have a decent team anyways now hehe
We dont play the best looking football, never have, but we're just resilient. I stated my bet, watch and learn ladies.
-
Well I was already wrong, it's 1-1 currently but I still say Poland wins this one. :)
-
You were saying? :)
EDIT: Ah well, we're the better team atm still ;)
EDIT2: exactly what I said, we're resilient, could've won this if it wasnt for the retarded penalty and the wrongfully called penalty
-
The game was retarded on many levels.. Can we agree on that? :)
-
PERKINS AND SMUDA SUX
-
well, Szczęsny did mistake in first goal, obviously, in the second... nothing to do, our defence sucks. Really poor match by Rybus, one on the worst in the polish team. And I can't understand why he (coach) didn't do any change? They were tired, fresh blood could help.
And thanks you Tytoń!
-
Tyroń was awesome! Really luck and maybe skill. But Smuda! Plz next time make anychange in your team.. Thx Franek
-

"retarded"? If you wanna say you know stuff about teams, then you should know that Greece doesnt play the prettiest football but usually finds ways to score 1-2goals. Also, our defence is generally good but does the occassional mistake. And ofc, we never give up xd
Knowing this, I said 1-1 or 2-1 for us. I got the first and the second was nearly reality
-

2:1 in my opinion

-
man tytos its ok , but we have tragedy. we have easy won in first half. after was 11 vs 10 and we shit. We cant qualificied in our grooup really iam so drunk in this match but f@#!

This was a misunderstanding, perhaps enough to shout "mine"
-
weel.....after all i can say then we pleyed good in first half, non stop attack, one goal and many occasions to score. Secound half was terrible we lost goal and great goalkeepr, Greece was better in first half, but they show good football. Our secound goalkeeper saved score for 1-1.
-
Russia owned Czech Republic xD
-
what hapened uahah
kurwa
-
3 matches Netherland plays in Kharkiv, so over 3000 fans decide to come by trains/airplains, just meet and talk a bit with them on cafe here, cool guys actually xD
btw great grass on OSK Metallist
-
1- 0 for Denmark with Netherlands
and
1-0 for Germany with Portugal
today: Itally vs Spain !
-
i dont get that why these germans are kids of luckiness, they always play shit but win by some lame goal in the ending...
-
ukraine have bad group >:(
-
well, Germany sometimes have mistakes on teamwork but the level of players squad is one of the strongest germans had imo
-
First games are nothing to go by but I've seen no team capable of even putting Spain to test, if they were to play like this, which I don't expect them to then there's no 2 without 3.
-
The Germans suck in friendlies but they're doing good when it counts. And they have some raw diamonds as their bench warmers, mainly Reus and Götze, looking forward to see them play. :)
Italy looks decent right now but nevertheless I think Spain will win this one.
-
for the moment the result is right... we will see in the second half
-
france - england 1:1
damn
-
France and England aren't really top teams anymore. Ukraine will go through. And maybe even Sweden too.
-
england played very well in the defense, and they have really fast players for counter attacks. let rooney come back and they can beat everyone.
-

France is probably the 4th best team in this championship. They've played some amazing football up to this point, no idea while they started with 3 defensive midfielders though since they haven't used that formation too often. Wussies.
-
I agree with Ropa, France have huge potential, i think they leave group (i hope so) with Ukraine........ they allready look better with Sweden now after first half.
Go go Ukraine !!

-
1-1 its cool match for us. we can won this easy but some bl.
GJ POLAND . Now we must owned czech republic . Thats easy xd
-
Last 4 matches: 3x perfectly guessed results, and for the Poland vs Russia game "only" got the draw right.. I'm on fire! :D
Tomorrow Germany vs Netherlands, probably one of the highlights. Looking forward to that one, also going to public viewing. :)
-
It'll be everything or nothing for us dark. Anything less than a win won't do. It would be a real shame if we got knocked out of the group.. such a brilliant team :( Just couldnt score ne goals :-[
-
Lol, dont worry HHC. Tommorow Holland win for sure, sorry my german friends
-
yeees end of luck, time for skill, gogo NED
-
You're expecting them to win vs Germany when they lost to Denmark, a far weaker team Bård? I know they're gonna try even harder now.. But I don't think they'll win, a remis at most.
-
U will see then Germany won ! 8)
-
Damn. We had bl in last match :/

i don't wanna say shit about this cause i know i will jinx it

Yes I think they'll win René. Danmark is not that bad, they play very well against stronger opponents: they're facing Portugal today, a team which they've beaten in the last three fixtures in a row. I'm placing my money on Holland today, I will triple my money when/if they win :D The team that ends up winning EC is quite often off to a bad start early on. I think Netherland will win the championship in the end. Van Persie will score today!!
-
yeh thinking the same
-

2008: spain won 4:1 against russia in first game
2004 greece won 2:1 against portugal in first game
2000 france won 3:0 against denmark in first game
1996 germany won 2:0 against the czech republic in first game
1992 denmark played 0:0 against england in first game
1988 netherlands won 3.1 against england in first game
1984 france won 1:0 against denmark in first game
1980 germany won 1:0 against the cssr in first game
seems like you are wrong bard
-

1988 netherlands won 3.1 against england in first game
We lost 0-1 to the SU in the first game. Played vs England in the 2nd.
And then we won. :P
I know you don't wanna admit it, but Netherlands is gonna kick german ass tonight. :D
-
Lol, shut up peja xD maybe it was WC.. Doesn't change the fact that Germany loses today!

-
Actually... Well here's my predictions.
Denmark 0-3 Portugal ~ Portugese are gonna play a lot better than in the first game, they gotta make up for it
Germany 3-1 Netherlands ~ Starring Robben, missing on a penalty kick
:D

Congrats René, and Germany xD Netherland looked totally paralyzed for a longer period of the game... I'm glad I didn't put any money on the match ;P But Netherland still got nice chance to go through. They need to beat Portugal with atleast two golas, and Danmark to lose vs Germany. If this happends, they will meet Russia in the quarter-finals.
I have done some research on this and found out how likely it is that Netherland will progress from group stage, and then their chance on winning the EC:
Netherland-Portugal: Bookies give an average odds of 5.00 for Netherland to win with atleast two goals = 20% probability.
Denmark-Germany: Bookies give Germany an average odds of 1.66 to win vs Denmark = 60% probability.
Netherland's chances of progressing from group stage: 0.2*0.6 = 0.12 = 12%.
To win the entire EC is not so easy to estimate. But they are one of eight teams left after group stage, which gives them 12.5% (1/8) chance of winning. They should be rated as favourites vs Russia though, so I have adjusted this up to 15%. So to progress from group stage AND win the rest of their matches: 0.12*0.15 = 0.018 = 1.8%. In 50 times with this scenario, then Netherland would be likely to succeed one time.
In other words, you need 55 (1/0.018) in odds for Netherland to win the EC to make a bet which gives you a profit in return in the long run. Right now, the odds offered from different boomakers variates from 25 to 34. I want to bet on Netherland, but I will lose money on it :(

Yeah... did you see the game crazy? I sure as hell wouldn't put money on this team.
The whole team is in crisis atm. The defence was really really poor tonight. Especially young Willems was waaaaay not up to this level of competition. And the central pair is a joke like always. This reflects on the whole team... the trust is gone. They know they can't rely on these players.
And upfield Sneijder is but a shadow of his usual self. Robben is only interested in scoring a goal for his own so he can redeem himself. Persie also only wants to score real bad to prove the media wrong in their preference for Huntelaar (which ought to be playing IMO). Afellay has just come back from an injury and is far from ready for this level. And Kuyt is left on the bench... It's just a crap team atm. And not even 4 years can fix that (we need to wait for better defenders..), let alone 4 days.
-
I watched it HHC, I didn't know things were this bad for Netherland... I mean, how did things turn like this so quickly? You were so impressive in the EC Qualification 0o And last match before the EC started, you won 6-0 vs Northern Ireland. What I was most surprised with in this game was the huge gap between midfield and defence, it seems like they didn't have any communication together at all. Germany had so much space and time to do whatever they'd like. There was also so bad movement amongst the players, nothing like the football I associate with the Dutchmen. Seemed like they gave up halfway through!
-
On the bright side (for who?!), Germany also didn't play the best they could have.. Podolski and partly Müller didn't have a real impact on the game, I was hoping at least one of them would get substituted with Reus or Götze. But I guess Löw is saving that for the match vs Denmark where there's almost nothing on the line for us anymore.. Saying almost because theoretically Germany is still not 100% through. :P
I sincerely hope that the Dutch recover and beat Portugal.

Most of the dutch key players are either depressed or through a really bad patch. Sneijder, Robben, both of them have had terrible seasons in places they didn't want to be so it was expected they'd do this bad, at least, from my end. Before the Eurocup Holland was a red spot for me, meaning I wouldn't bet any of my cash on matches involving them.
I've made some money with Russia and Portugal, both of them had incredibly bad odds (most likely influenced by the last international tournaments), and they have both incredible teams.
-
I think Portugal is playing really pathetic to be honest. Against Denmark they were trying to lower the tempo of the game and defend their 2-1 lead throughout the entire 2nd half. Why do this against an opponent you're superiour to? Why not go agressive and kill the game early on instead? It's like Random should wait for SD in an elite where he is playing vs a semi-pro who's got all his worms skunked. You're basically asking for trouble... Portugal were lucky to get away with it this time, but I think they'll go out early of the tournament if this is their strategy in the next game(s).

Because they have one of the best defenses in the European cup. What they don't understand though, is that having the ball is the best defense.
-
i dont think it was that bad from portugal. they were really save in the defense, and had great counters. usually cr7 makes 2 goals and its a save win. so i wouldnt call it pathetic, especially against a team which has problems to make the game.

Czech 1-2 Poland
Greece 1-3 Russia
Hoping for great matches. :)
-
Poland 0 - 1 Cech Rep
Greece 1 - 0 Russia
First time am not mad on Poland Team when we lost.
Was great match,in first half whole game was under our control,we had many situations to score a goal.
Well, maybe we had some less luck, or maybe our oponents had good defense, but all of our players was fighting for win totaly!!!!!!!!!
Am very happy then Greece won this match, they needed this qualify most of other.
They needed to be happy after all of this things with their country !!!!!!!!!!
Well Done Greece, am happy with u !!!!!!!! and i am happy for my National Team for his behavior !!!!!!!!!!!
and well done Cech Repoublik, was Great Match !!!!!!!!!!!!
-
england have shocked me so far, 4 points without our best player and welbecks goal was a peach, anoyone who says different is a fool. the way he hit the ball, that was the only possible way he could have scored, so to do that is impressive, however on set pieces, we look vulnerable, but on the counter attack, we look good with oxlade-chamberlain and walcott.
I still fear for us when we play a Germany or Spain, as we'll get our arse handed to us, but until then, im happy they have exceeded my expectations.
Can only se potential winners as Spain or Germany, the Germans just have it programmed in their mindsets to at least reach the 1/4 finals each Euros or world cup, and they're a better side now than world cup 2010 so i expect them to be there or there abouts.
Dont discount Croatia though. potential dark horses, 4 points already and Slaven Bilic will want to go out on a high...
-
Greece FTW! hehe
-
So Germany is the only team which scores 9 points in the group stage, even being in the toughest group while Netherlands go home with a big fat 0. Thoughts?
-
Sad day for Netherlands, happy day for Germany. :D
-
Thoughts?
i have totally no idea, i would say mega luck but they cant be lucky in every match i quess but i hate to look them playing, their football is so static and slow, and the balls the forwards get always look so lucky, 1-2 nice actions in match and still always win wtf?
maybe Holland scored 0 points but still i like to watch them more coz they play beatifull even if no luck to score when 100 actions on opponents gate
-

I still would have liked to see them go through, but when I knew they were out I'm glad they lost this final match too. At least that can change shit. If we won today and still went out people would still accept this team's performance and move on.. but it's unacceptable.
Even with a horrible defence (it was really really horrible), the midfield and attack didn't do any better.
I'd like to see the Dutch coach kick out Robben. The guy is a total fail on the position he plays. He ALWAYS moves in and tries to shoot from 30m, rather than stay on the outside, drive for the line and give a good pass on the center.
Huntelaar is a great forward in the penalty area, but he never gets the chance to make a header or finish an assist, cause both Robben and Persie don't give him any from the sides... they only try to push through the center.. which hardly ever works.
And Robben seriously... the guy has an EGO the size of Paris. And apparently he shouted multiple times to the coach 'SHUT THE f@#! UP' when he was told to help in defence..
Beats me why he kept him on the pitch, GTFO.
And yeah there were 'troubles in the group', 'too many ego's' and all that.
Dunno where we go from here. Apart from the ego's we only have noobs. :-X
I wish our players were more like the Germans. They play sooo disciplined and everybody knows his place and is commited to it.
What a difference with the characters that represent our country :(
Guess it's a matter of mentality.. Germans always have had this. That's why they always get far in tourneys, even with teams that many consider mediocre (and the current one is far from!!).

Agreed Bart, all of the Elftal wanted to shine so bad that they ignored the team aspect of football. Robben has always been a one trick pony, we make fun of him because he really can't do anything but go left with the ball and shoot (not even kick penalties). He may be a great player but his play is very one sided and egoistical. I can't count how many chances he wasted because he prefered to shoot rather than to pass the ball to Persie or Huntelaar. As you said, Netherlands have a great team on paper but they just don't work together.. Time for a coach change? But I guess no matter what coach, the ego personalities won't change. :P
And redi, it's not coincidence. You may not like the style (there's much worse though, Italy *cough*) but it's effective. They didn't play great for an entire game yet though, mostly 30-40 strong minutes scoring a goal or two, then pick up a slower pace.. I don't like that either. Spain totally dominated Ireland, we only won the 3 games by 1 goal difference each. Not the greatest presentation of power, but then again Spain didn't win vs Italy and they're still not through yet. Don't underestimate Croatia. :D
-
the germans are just drilled to have success and consistently, and penalties too.

I think Portugal is playing really pathetic to be honest. Against Denmark they were trying to lower the tempo of the game and defend their 2-1 lead throughout the entire 2nd half. Why do this against an opponent you're superiour to? Why not go agressive and kill the game early on instead? It's like Random should wait for SD in an elite where he is playing vs a semi-pro who's got all his worms skunked. You're basically asking for trouble... Portugal were lucky to get away with it this time, but I think they'll go out early of the tournament if this is their strategy in the next game(s).
I think they didnt read your post Crazy. You are absolutely right.
In yesterday's game they went on defence at the start and did pretty much nothing. For the first time in the tournament the Dutch were allowed some space to get back into it. And we did... 1-0.
Then the Portugese had to attack and they did.. and wham within 5 mins they destroyed us.
I'll bet they start defending again in the knockout games.. this dumb tactic is gonna f@#! them up sooner or later.
-
Probably in the semi final vs Germany. Looking forward to that one, but first is Greece. ;)
This is also gonna go through the media left and right until Friday...
-

for whatever reason u f@#!ers love to watch these men kick the ball around a hugggggggggggeeeeeee f@#!ing field taking shots at a huuuuuuuuuuuuugggggeeeee f@#!ing goal....
and regardless how big the goal is, and how small the ball is... those f@#!ing putos can still hardly ever make it into the f@#!in net!!!! its just an all around boring ass game!! f it all to hell
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
anyway go go go italy
-
Football is fun to play, but boring as hell to watch lol.
Every single person I know who is a football fanatic, when I ask them, why do you like football so much, the answer I get is "the banter".
For anyone who doesn't know, I am Scottish and I live more or less in Edinburgh, so many Celtic/Rangers fans... Football is their life lol, and it's so annoying hearing them all rip on each other all night every night...
For hours on end all I hear is "Scampi!" "What?" "RANGERS NO MORE" "Scampi!" "What?" "CHAMPIONES!"...
-
I got a few friends who aren't interested in football either, always thought they were missing a testicle or two. :P
-

is that even legal ;D

The worst part is that in international tournaments suddenly they are cheering for your country and you're forced to talk to them about football :P
-
^ Exactly. And their half-knowledge (does that term even exist in English?) is pretty annoying at times. :D

Who? I hope you don't mean me? I already said I like playing football, I just don't like watching it, and old firm football banter irritates me lol.
