Euro 2008

[leatherebel]

nice game but penalties would've really topped it

[kaasupoltin]

what a comeback by the turks, bit unfair having their keeper sent off

i think petr chechs gonna be suicidal tonight

Unfair? I don't think so. There are rules in this game.

But yeah, it was a great comeback and a cool game to watch. Shame Czechs didn't get any shots at Tuncay, would have been fun to see how he'd have act as a goalie. Portugal was in the same situation some years ago, altough then there was more time until the game was over so the poor guy who had to be the keeper really had to make some saves But he got them all!

Tonight we'll see if Germany will fall. I don't trust them at all this time and I think that Austria is going to be a good and hard-fighting opponent. Poland is in a good situation when it comes to winning as Croatia has already confirmed their place in the next round, but Poland needs some good fucking luck to get there too, even if they'll win.

all he did was push him, yet koller went down holding his face, bit like germany the other day, the 2 players that pretended they were hurt should also be fined or something

at the end of the day it was a push, how much pushing goes on during the game and yet nothing happens??

Well, the game wasn't on. He pushed him after the whistle. He was just acting fucking stupid. And he had to know he wouldn't get out of it, so why the hell did he even do it. Same goes with Schweinsteiger. Simply stupid.

Really? To be honest, I don't think Austria has a prayer against Germany.

(Sadly enough I won't see the game, as I'm going to a Dillinger Escape Plan gig tonight )

Well yeah, I think they have a chance. Germany is vulnerable at the moment and so on.. like I said: I don't trust them at all. And everything's possible in this game

But anyway, have a nice time at the gig!

[D]

WOW, i am really getting into this.

I watched the second half of Turkey/czech and  I couldnt believe the meltdown by Czech in the last bit of the game. 2 horrible mistakes they made that allowed goals.

Very exciting though and I think I am becoming hooked.

Let me ask a question:

What determines how much extra time is added onto the game?

[kaasupoltin]

Let me ask a question:

What determines how much extra time is added onto the game?

It's also known as "stoppage time" and "injury time". It's the time that's added to make up the possible injuries, lost balls, subtitutions etc. that wastes the real time. So basically, if there are long breaks during the game then there'll be more extra time.. Usually it's 1-4mins and it's added by the 1st referee.

Nice goal by Ballack.....

Nice goal by Ballack.....




/jarmo

Yeah, it was.
Although the game was prettey weak, and a striker like Gomez missing the big chance right at the start of the game was a once in a lifetime miss. If he had scored, the game would have been much more interesting.

Now we are playing against Portugal and if we don't improve we will be out.

Tonight Italy vs France, somehow I hope Romania should win against The Netherlands and make it, but I doubt the dutch are going to allow it.

[A Private Eye]

I fancy France to win, wouldn't be surprised to see Romania get a draw out of Holland though which would be enough for them if Italy and France draw.

[MadmanDan]

Ah fuck !!!!!  Romania was soooo close (with the help of the referee), but Buffon is a genius !

  Oh well, now we have to beat Holland...we did it a few months ago, we can do it again

You'll be playing a b-team so you probably will 

   We're a weird people, us Romanians...we don't usually capitalise on clear chances like this one, we like it rough, when the odds are agains us     So I'm pretty concerned that things might go wrong....

   I knew it, I fucking knew it !!!! Lack of balls, lack of character, the idiots fucked up against a Holland side that really didn't bother that much.

[kaasupoltin]

Yeah, it's Italy then. We'll see if Sweden can beat Russia tonight, "winner takes it all".. At least the second place in group D before facing Holland.

[TAP]

Croatia and Russia both through to the QFs.....maybe England isn't so bad? Or maybe they are 

Interesting QF matchups :

Netherlands vs Russia - Hiddink
Spain vs Italy - Perennial underachievers vs Perennial overachievers
Germany vs Portugal - Chelsea subtext 
Turkey vs Croatia - 'cos I'm supporting Turkey 

[kaasupoltin]

Sweden sucked so bad last night. Just fucking lame.

[Ignatius]

Italy Vs Spain

Oh well, this is the end for Spain then.

The quaterfinals is as fas as we are getting in this Eurocup. The quaterfinals is as far as we've accomplished in any Euro CUP or World Cup for the past 25 years!

Italy, as usual, will go through all the way to the finals playing like crap, but winning (which in the end, is the only thing that counts)

[Shoco]

dont be so negative, with pirlo and gatusso out for italy i think theyl struggle, once puyol gets a spet ladder to mark toni yous will be fine

[CheapJon]

Sweden sucked so bad last night. Just fucking lame.

Yeah, but Russia were fucking amazing too, i almost thought i was watching the netherlands play against us

The Swedish press is amazing. They're the ones hyping the team for weeks now. Especially after the game against Greece.

Now the same team that were supposed to win the gold just suck?

Maybe they sucked all along! Greece just happened to suck more....
