no euros thread yet? here we go here we go here we go ...

I'm not shitting on Cleverley(great goal in training btw lol!) maybe he'll turn out to be a great player but he's not ready yet. Played a few games for Wigan. I'd doubt he's played more than 10 games in the league for Utd. Scholes' best days are far, far behind him. He was up there with the worlds best a few years back but not anymore. Great player for Utd but needs to hang up the boots and rest his 57 year old red head.

I just think instead of fielding decent players from all over the league we should do what germany and spain do and play pretty much bayern barca and madrid teams, then we'd be much more cohesive as a team.

England team is made up of players from the leagues best sides, just like Germany and Spain, Man City, Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool players + er, Scott Parker. The players just aren't even close to the standard produced by the other top nations. The best midfielders in the premiership are all foreign players

Carrick should be in the squad and in the starting 11. Micah Richards should be in the squad instead of Phil Jones/Kelly, but they both refused to go on standby so i guess thats their loss. A very, very average team especially with Rooney missing, but will surely frustrate teams and be hard to beat.

12-1 England to score 0-1 goals, 14-1 Benzema top scorer, 16-1France to win (small stakes).

 

[rockstar 69]

France to win? What a shit bet that was ha!

The only 3 I can see winning are spain germany or holland. After that I'd say portugal before I'd say france.

 

[HMHB]

France are a better team now; most o' the old guard are gone and they are somewhat more harmonious than in previous campaigns, nae that that's hard. Will probably lay the bet off when they extinguish the bulldog spirit and qualify. When's our first game rockstar ?

 

[rockstar 69]

The 12th of never! I personally want Spain to win, or whoever plays the most entertaining football. Fuck england

 

[Busty St Clare]

I think the Dutch have the strike power to win it this year. Not a bad position to be in when you argue about who should be on the bench. Van Persie can go missing from time to time so I would start with Huntelaar and let Van Persie loose after an hour.

The Greeks are unbeaten in their last twenty-odd games and by rights should have won tonight. I can't see them winning again this year (but who saw it last time), but the game against the Russians should be a cracker. Bring on tonights Germany Portugal game. Are there any odds available on Ronaldo have a sulk?

 

[Myshkin]

I'm not excited about the England team at all, the squad is fucking shit. Seems to be mainly Liverpool players and other mid-table players. If it had more United members such as Scholes, Carrick and Cleverley I'd be much more excited. Would love to see Scholes get the credit he deserves on the international front. As it is I have much more passion for my club, the England team is full of bellends who I can't relate to. I'd just like to see some good football but England are horrible to watch.

Same here really. And for pretty much all the United fans I know.

Are there any odds available on Ronaldo have a sulk?

I'd say it's a given.

 

[Mental Kenny]

Portugal can hurt Holland though, when was it in some past tournament, there was a game where they had a record of red and yellow cards. That game was hilarious, they just kicked each other all throughout.

 

[watsons torment]

that was in the 2006 WC I think, I enjoyed the fine display of martial arts from both teams

 

[backroll]

Spastic comment ftw.

That's a lovely thing to say, although we stopped using that word about 20 years ago you bigot.

And yeah lol united! I'm not a city fan either but the last day of last season was one of the greatest days of my life in football terms and I have seen my team abroad, and win major trophies. LOVE GLAZER HATE UNITED. The City is who's???? RIP Fergie and the Theatre of Dreams (!)

And yeah like I told you people yesterday look out for Russia!!!

16 yellows and 4 red cards! Van Bommel was probably responsible for many more that went unpunished.


Did 2 tiny bets for Germany game. Portugal to miss a penalty @25/1 and to score a pen @ 10/1. Ronaldo's missed 3 of his last 4 pens. Scored 1 and missed 1 v Neuer a few weeks ago. No doubt the Portuguese will be falling all over the gaff when they get near the box.

Look out for their fans beating the shit out of people like they did last night!

Yeah, Russia were very impressive last night. I guess most of the team are out of contract with their clubs again like they were at Euro 2008 and looking for a big move i.e. Arshavin.

The Czechs were absolute gash though .
Shame as they have had some fantastic teams over the years with Nedved , Koller et al.

 

[suburu]

They were Brimz, Paddy Cech included which can be seldom said. Russia wouldve won 7-1 if anyone but Kerhzakov had started up front.

I guess Group B is called The Group of Death for fear of dying of boredom watching it. Shocking performance from the Dutch and another ref bottled a blatant pen. No one will be bricking it playing Ze Germans going on that performance but at least they won.

Euros starts today, Day of reckoning is here! :D Heading out now all the all day sesh and try calm the nerves somewhat before the big one, nothing to fear!! COYBIG!! FUCK!!!

You've outdone yourself with the spackafied comments. Well done dullard.

 

[rockstar 69]

Euro's been pretty good so far, glad holland got beat, was hoping both them and germany would get stuffed to upset the natural order of things a bit. I like the way holland play but their finnishing last night was crap. Germany I hate, don't like their style of play at all, would of far rathered portugal beat them.

Spain italy today should be a good game, the italians don't have the same quality of attack but they're pretty solid at the back.

England are fucked with that group they have, france unbeaten for 20 matches aswell.

 

[brimz]

Spain playing without a recognized striker what are they fuking Scotland in disguise.

I don't care how many nice passes they can make no striker formation is just wrong .
It shows how important Senor Villa is to them .

 

[backroll]

Oxlade-Chamberlain is starting...reckon that is a top call. Finally an England manager with some fucking bottle

Yeah who the fuck do they think they are?? Cocky bastards! Italy looked a lot better in my opinion anyways

 

[mattnotrik]

Cammmmmmm on englandddd ! always the same expectations... 2-1 ! young and welbeck and that horrible bastard benzema will net one
