Spain's blue uniform is weird. Since when do they have it?
EURO 2012
-
-
-
And Italy scores.
-
It's their alternate kit.
I thought their alternate kit was navy blue…
Oh and Italy scores their first goal against Ireland.
-
How is Ireland still in this tournament? I thought they got eliminated from the series 1-2 weeks ago
great..if Ireland wasnt eliminated now, they will be if they dont beat this 1-0 score
-
watching spain vs croatia…
italy just scored some time ago...
italy can make a comback..
personally i believe that Germany will win this tounament if they continue to do their job :p

Ireland is out win, lose or draw. They are playing for pride and to spoil Italy.
-
I'm not impressed by Spain at all today. Croatia is playing much better right now. But I still see a draw happening.
-
Iker Casillas is such a great goalie
Also, I know you don't want to burn out your players but why take out Torres when he has basically been your offense

I mean, why not take out Silva, who's killed your offense all day today?
Edit: Without Casillas, Spain would be 2 down right now.
-
Spain and Italy are moving on barring some last minute miracle goal from Ireland
-
Poor Croatia. They played bettern than Spain -__-
-
Disappointed by this group. Croatia definitely played better games than Italy and Spain, and Spain's goal was questionably offsides. Italy was easily the third best team in this group.
-
BALOTELLI!!!! I'm so happy I'm italian right now.

Ballotelli walking away like an explosion happened behind him and didn't give a fuck.

He can do that. Because he's awesome.

Series? The tournament is in groups stages still, so no team has been eliminated. Well now a few of them have since the final round of group stages is almost finished, last day tomorrow! After that it's knock outs, one game win or loose.
-
I actually feel bad for Croatia. They made both Spain and Italy look like noobs! I guess it would make the jobs much easier for teams trying to win against these two teams, all they gotta do is just watch the Croatia games to see what they did. Slaven Bilic is actually a damn smart ass
-
Croatia should've make it to the next round but that's football.
I'm glad that Italy made it though, hope they'll show us the team we've seen against Spain. -
This Spain ain't going far. That I can tell.
I mean, they can get lucky, win the next, and then play against the Czechs. But they won't win against Portugal. Not with that kind of football :ninja:.I'd love if England kicked their asses in the quarter-finals, though.
-
Now I can see Portugal reach the final.
It's doable if they keep up the good team work against Netherlands.
It doesn't matter if they meet Spain in semis because I believe they are that good. -
Even if i am supporting Germany, some part of me want England to win too.
-
Man I hope Portugal looses in the quarterfinals, all because of that douchebag Pepe. God I cant stand him and his C-movie acting like against Denmark.
-
Italy went through? So there is a team left that I can support.
Among others.
-
Once again Gerrard assist.
-
And the Roonster's back!
To be honest the commentator's exclamation at the goal woke me up. I'd gone to sleep after watching 20 minutes of that boring bullshit.
Score a couple more and avoid Spain. Pretty please. Not only will England get tonked, Spain will bore me to death with their pretty 4-yard passes in midfield all game long. -
Both games are boring imo. England are playing sloppy. I dont know how the ball went through those 3 Ukrainian players. Lucky goal for England. But as always, Goal is goal.
-
Awesome Ibrahimovic Goal.
-
What the hell are the goal-line officials there for? This is ridiculous.
-
Wow Ukraine were robbed of a goal
-
Just saw a replay. There was an offside missed by the linesman in the buildup to that 'goal', so the poor decisions cancelled out.
-
Since past 2 years, refereeing has been inconsistent. Especially the one in 2010 World Cup
-
Shevchenko Time!
-
All Ukraine has to do is tie it back up and if Sweden holds on both Ukraine and England move on
-
Shevchenko Time!
Walcott time, more likely :ninja:

Nope, France qualify still due to a better head-to-head against Ukraine.
-
I am awaiting the Ukraine riot where they will burn a effigy of Sepp Blatter
-
Ha! Another goal for Sweden.
Way to go France. Good luck against Spain.
-
Did France actually want to go to the quarterfinals? I mean, they definitely didn't play like they wanted to go on into the tournament.
-
So, now we have…
Czech Republic vs. Portugal
Germany vs. Greece
Spain vs. France
England vs. Italy...to look forward to. Any predictions?

Portugal
Germany

ItalyThough the Italy/England game is a toss up to me, and the Czechs and Greeks aren't pushovers like France was.

Bolded my picks. Czech has surprised the hell out of me so far.
-
^Agreed with first 3 picks. I feel Italy will be the winners agianst England though.
-
We played much better in the second half, that's for sure.
too many nervous moments and not enough possession in the first for my liking.I was pleased to see Rooney get his goal, but i do think we were lucky that the officials didn't see the Ukraine goal.
(although we were denied a blatant penalty, so i guess it evens out)
It would have liked for us to score some more (we certainly had some chances and attacking breakaways in the second half),
but i guess we'll take what we can get.Overall i'm happy with the result.
Top of the group, avoiding Spain, etc.
Not much to grumble about really. -
Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Italy.
Protugal's impressive performance came against a Dutch team chasing goals (even after they'd drawn first blood) leaving acres of space in an already weak defence for Portugal's speedy wingers to exploit. The Czech team will surely not afford them that much space. And as much as I want England to win, I think the three man Italian defence is highly suited for their two strikers up top formation. They also don't have a natural player in the side to pick Pirlo, unless Rooney plays deeper than he did today, and leaving Pirlo free to ping balls to the wingbacks (who have been very impressive) and Cassano (who has also been outstanding) is a recipe for disaster. Also, Italy vs Germany will be very very interesting. -

going with Portugal, germany, Spain, and England
-
Portugal vs France
Italy vs Germany -
Man I hope Portugal looses in the quarterfinals, all because of that douchebag Pepe. God I cant stand him and his C-movie acting like against Denmark.
What C-movie acting?
The guy stepped on him when he was getting ready to jump. That's really painful, speaking from experience.
And we did win against Denmark, and they're not famous for their weak defending.
But well, I hope we get more loose too. We've been way too stiff and failing way too much. -
I wonder if the vuvuzela's still popular around Euro spectators…
