EURO 2012

3:1 Croatia. Lol.
-
That was a true beauty. What a goal. :o
-
Robbie KEane just got fucking robbed of a penalty kick. He was taken down from a kick behind before the ball got to him
-
Good amount of fights in these first days of the Euro
-
I have it on good authority that the Russians are assholes
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Boo they took out keane
-
Rage-tits blew that one
-

The Russian Football Union actually sent a message out to their fans who have travelled to Poland and Ukraine to support their team, requesting that they would stop starting fights and doing stupid things because they're tarnishing the reputation of Russian football. So yeah, at least some Russian fans are assholes. :P

Well it didn't help because the Russian Football union are gonna get hit with fines or something like that because a ton of fights have been started by Russian fans over the past two days

OH SO CLOSE for Ireland
-
Pretty good game, now lets hope for the Irish underdog to best either Italy or Spain in a completely unforeseen change of tides!!!
-
Oh that match ….. shame for Ireland wished they would show off a little
-
I think the Croats played well until they made their third goal, and then they hit the brakes. The last twenty-five minutes were pretty boring, but seeing how I decided to side with Croatia after all, I'm pretty satisfied. This was by far the best day of the tournament so far.
-
No way are they going to beat Italy and Spain. In my opinion Ireland's out. Croatia did a good job today and they might have a chance to beat Italy.
But the game sure got brutal at the end.
-
I'm just totally bummed that I am gonna miss both England/France and Sweden/Ukraine tomorrow thank's to finals
-
Go go greece.
I hope we will destroy Germany somewhere later if we pass the group stages.
Avraam Papadopoulos got a pretty serious injury and olympiakos (my team) will need to buy another CB.I am supporting greece , spain , portugal and italy for being into hard financial situations.
-
Cheering for my home country Spain! I was kind of disappointed by todays game though. I was anxious to see Mario Balotelli and wasn't surprised with how he played. Fernando Torres let me down so much. He was terrible during the World Cup and they should keep him off the field and play David Silva more.
-
Vicente Del Bosque is an assclown. What will it take for him to play the right Fernando? Having said that, the Italians played really well and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I'll club them with Russia as the dark horses for the tournament, after favourites Germany, Spain, France and the Dutch (though those guys shot themselves in the foot massively yesterday).
-
Oh finally! I was wondering why there was no threads for euro 2012, anyways Spain all the way! Although yesterday they weren't really upto mark but they do have a slow start everytime so its ok
-

You can't show off what you don't have. Do feel bad for Robbie Keane though, doubt he's going to play in 2014, and that's assuming Ireland qualify and aren't robbed again. Irish luck? Pfft, no such thing.
-
The guy who made the first goal for my country is from my town.It's sad my town hates him.
-
England v France is the first match this tournament that I've been able to watch, do to it be my first day off in a long while.
Sadly it's probably the one I care the least about.Go France?
-
Go…. Um... well crap, I really don't have a preference for this game.
-
Exactly!
As long as it turns out to be a match game I'll be happy.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Wow that was bad. That was almost Torres bad. He was way to eager to make the shot.
-
The one who shows better football may win for me
-

As of right now, I feel as if they're both evenly playing decent football.
However, England is now up. I'm…apathetic about that.
-
And England scored =D
-
I'm simply supporting whichever team is the most promising to watch.
I don't care about the Dutch team, I'm so sick of the van Persie/Huntelaar debate that's been raging in the Dutch media for weeks already and the past few months didn't exactly fill me with confidence. -
Awesome goal. I like this game so far. :D
-
Oh well, this match is more entertaining than I thought, good first half.
-
Decent first half. Both some good and shoddy football by both England and France. More-so England. They had some good moments but I feel like outside of the goal they were mainly playing defense the entirety of the half. Whenever they gained possession France promptly took it back.
Hopefully both bring their best in the second half.
-
I'm all for England in this one because of reasons.
-
Solid 1-1 so far but France will make it. Go FRANCE!
-
Wow fantastic start here by England, they are all over France.
-
England indeed seems the better team for the few moments I have been able to watch
-
England IS better!
Hope they'll win this match -
I don't know , France has been pushing a lot. But the ref didn't see some obvious faults made by France aswell
-
Nice game but the ref was bad
-
And a tie , both played well and England played the best overall
-
So a tie. The perfect result to match my apathy.
Good match overall though. The second half was much better than the first, though in the end I think France outplayed England by a bit.
-
Yeah I think the first half was a good one for England and the second half was a good one for France. Equally good teams.
-

I thought it the exact opposite!
Anyway, as for Ukraine v Sweden. I'm partial to Sweden as was really happy for a moment there, then Ukraine responded incredibly quickly.
Good match so far.
-
Never expected Shevchenko to be this decisive again. Good for him.
-
Well, gosh. [/channeling Mayor Wilkins]
Come on Sweden, get it together!
-
Let's see if Ibrahimovic can shine again.
-
Oh my lord stop with the whistles.
Ugh. This game started out so good, but this second half has been a mess (for Sweden) also I'm getting tired off the Ukraine footballers getting "hurt" at every turn.
I'm probably just bitter that Sweden is losing.
-
The same Shevchenko who flopped during his Chelsea days. Torres, are you watching?
-
Might be one of the best matches as of yet
-
@metteminne:
Might be one of the best matches as of yet
I think we watched a very different match.
The first half was fantastic, but the second was…ugh. Once Sweden got their goal its like they stopped playing. All competitive energy was gone.
I'm honestly surprised the Ukraine didn't score more goals; it took Sweden's all to muster something that looked remotely like defense.
-
I was hoping to see the rest of Sweden/Ukraine but right when I turned on my TV the final whistle blew. Cannot wait for my Japanese final so then I can watch some FOOTBALL
-
Sweden-Ukraine was an amazing game. Back and forth the entire time with both sides getting tons of chances.
Also I'm convinced that France outplayed England earlier today. Anything could happen, but the French showed better tactics and a more sustained attack.
-
I'm very pleasantly surprised with England. And I've said that only once before in my twelve years of following them (the 5-1 in Munich, in case you were wondering). Apart from Milner, I think everyone acquitted themselves very well. Young and Welbeck did well with the meager service they got. Welbeck was very impressive with his movement and was a constant thorn in the French defence. For France, Nasri was pretty impressive, Malouda extremely average, Ribery disappointing and Cabaye was a cynical thug. I hated the licence he got from the ref to foul so frequently. Apart from the final 15 minutes in the first half, the English kept their defensive shape very well. With Sweden being this bad and Rooney back for the Ukraine game, I think England have a fair chance of qualifying top of the group and avoiding Spain in the quarters.
And finally, Sheva! What a fairytale!
