Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 If you guys want to have a bitching match go do it through PM's this is a thread about Euro 2008 ffs Back on topic, Portugal only looked ok today, Ronaldo without having a brilliant game Scored and got an assist... unbelievable. Still think Czech will beat Turkey in the next game, they looked very good defensivley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Still think Czech will beat Turkey in the next game, they looked very good defensivley. I hope, but any draw = penalties, and that's a lottery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) I hope, but any draw = penalties, and that's a lottery A draw in that match would mean Goal Difference and NOT penalties. If equal on Goal Difference then it comes down to who scored the most goals. And atm, Turkey's Goal difference is = -1 and Czech Republic's Goal Difference is = -1 and both have scored equal number of goals.

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 That Swiss Turkish game was surprisingly good. Germany could have their work cut out this afters against Croatia. Anyone else notice what pervs the Swiss are ? Name: Stadion Wankdorf Club: BSC Young Boys Insert Arsene Wenger jokes here........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Lol didnt notice the names thanks for pointing that out. Apart from the Holland Italy game it was the most enjoyable game to watch. Mainly cause of the players sliding everywhere lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 So ? According to the UEFA Rules - penalties Yes..and that too after just 90 minutes. There is NO extra time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I can confirm - 90 minutes to determine the winner, followed by penalty kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 the german performance wasn´t "special" (j.mourinho)... maybe they get in the quarters, but dead end against portugal(or any other team) just as i supposed it to be after the match against Poland. no confidence in the defense, the midfield didn´t worked out ( ballack, what was that 18 m distance to the goal) I say byebye Germany to be fair, they got the goal and that is what they can be proud of and must work on...getting chances and so on tough luck, gentlemen... money is on portugal.

Well the yids have a performer in Modric. To me Germanys undoing is Gomez -overrated and innefective, and when Schweinsteigger came on he made all the difference, but too late. They should progress though.... On the Austria Poland game, the Polish round our way are going mad about Howard Webb -but it was a clear penalty, and he'd warned them about shirt pulling a couple of minutes before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I remember us getting a penalty against Blackburn in 2006 when JT was pulled down by Ooijer in the box, almost the same as the incident last night. Defo a penalty then and defo one last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCFC 45 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Why turkey ?Layla means that she has Turkey in the lucky dip where she works.I've got Spain and stand to win £60 if Spain win Euro 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCFC 45 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've found Euro 2008 quite good so far.Took a while,but we are now starting to see some good games.Most notably the Dutch massacare of the eyeties.Spain's drubbing of the Ruskies and Germany's 'no show' against Croatia. Less said the better about France's borefest against Romania,in saying that i think the Dutch will suit France more and we are in for a cracker of a game this evening.Italy should'nt have any problems against Romania this afternoon. Germany will not fancy facing Portugal in the quarters,and i'm expecting Scolari's men to romp to the semis.where Croatia will be waiting for them. Obviously watching this tournament as a 'half' neutral,i want to see an attacking Euro 2008 final,and only a Portugal v Holland or Spain final will produce such a match. I've already got over England's absence.They would of been in Spain's group with Sweden and Greece had of we been fortunate to qualify.Blessing in disguise we are'nt there,if you ask me . My money is on Portugal to win Euro 2008.My folks/family will kill me if i go against Portugal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 One word to describe the Dutch. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 One word to describe the Dutch. Wow. They still wont win it. MARK MY WORDS!!! History has it that the most attractive team in the competition NEVER wins the competition. Argentina in the World Cup an example. My money is still on Germany and Portugal.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think at this time Holland are the best team, but the best team doesn't necessarilly win tournaments. *Cough* Liverpool *Cough* I still fancy the Czechs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCFC 45 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Although the Dutch were simply brilliant last night,it would be premature to put their name on the trophy.They should get to the semi's where Spain will more than likely be waiting for them. The plus point for the Dutch is that they can afford to lose against Romania.They'll be doing everyone else a favour by eliminating both France and Italy,who could get stronger as the tournament enters the knockout stages. Sniejder was amazing,brilliant play and scored a superb goal.Badboy has been right lately.France and Italy simply could'nt live with Holland. I still think it will be a Portugal v Holland final.What a final that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changingman2000 35 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Great move by Chels last year eh? Sell Robben and replace him with Malouda. Robben only started 12 games for Real but was still better value than bleeding Malouda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
