The Official European Football Thread

lol, Austria should be up 3-0 by now

But it's 1-0! God bless ringers.

Nimio how come you're so interested in football, i thought people don't care for it in the US?

...I'm not American

Every single EuroCup game is on ESPN or one of its derivative stations here. There are plenty of people here that watch association football. We are a nation of immigrants, after all.

Man Deutschland sucked today. Gomez is fucking useless, they should have sent him out way earlier.

Wasn't the guy who scored Poland's goal offside?

wow, the first half of Austria - Poland is some of the best fun playing of the Cup. Cool shit.

Can't wait to see Hol - Fra tomorrow

Yes he was.

how many off side goals so far? Good god what a bunch of awful referrees.

The Germs might get Portugal in the quarters...who to hate more? Winkers or wankers?

The germs of course

POrtugal has an awesome team

Meh, I don't know. Cristiano and Deco are both awesome, but the rest haven't really impressed me too much.

Portugal are a real overachievers in my opinion.
Spain are the total opposite.

Moutinho and Pepe are both awesome...not sure how people can't see this. Not to mention Miguel Veloso, one of the best up and coming holding midfielders. And Quaresma. Also Ricardo Carvalho who was one of the best CB's in the Premier League last season.

Moutinho is good, but he hasn't done absolutely anything to show it in this Euro. He was pretty lost in the last game. I don't like Pepe.

god damnit stop hating on germans

FREE BEER FOR LIFE

Austria still have a chance!



well... they're going against Germland, but, if the germs play like they played today then Austria definitely have a chance

Mother of God

lol

Pepe is awesome and I am in love with Nuno Gomes and Ricardo (hell, what a goalkeeper).

Portugal has been lacking a really good forward for ages (Nuno hasn't been playing that much for the past years) , if they would get one, they would be one of the best teams in the world.

ps. i'm gay

@Siro, watch this:

bahahahah

Sad but true, WWII still sticks in the mind. Many of us have missing grandparents.

I believe Holland are pretty big haters of Germany...for that reason.


Its still only 60-odd years ago.

Worse still, they scored the last ever goal at the old Wembley

^ True too, plus a couple of times we've lost to them to them in semi-finals on penalties...Italia90 & EURO96. So footballing reasons to hate them.

5-1 in Munich btw.

Predictions for tomorrow?


If Italy's coach doesn't fuck up, he'll bring out De Rossi and Del Piero from the start, and Italy will win 2-0.



For Netherlands-France, I predict either a 1-1 or a 0-0. France don't have much firepower at all, but their defence is very solid, so I think they'll be able to stop the Netherlands.

netherlands will win.

Robben's fit, everytime he touches the ball in an Orange shirt he scores or assists in scoring.

2-0

Oh shit Robben's gonna be back?

Yessir. My world cup Robben jersey is hanging next to my tv.

Hmmm


France are going to have a VERY tough time tomorrow

YES! I just heard news that Al Del Piero is starting tomorrow, and will be the captain. I'm so excited

All right!

Edit: Italy - Romania: 13th match on the 13th Euro Champs final tournament on Friday the 13th

4 days time, my TV will finally be hooked up and I can watch! Can't fucking wait!

I figured this thread's regulars would appreciate one of the best photoshop threads I've ever seen, about Cashley's invisible horse.

^ LOL!

At just seeing the first pic

That and, even more important, the World Cup final of '74.

F365 forums seem to be pretty funny for photoshop threads. Also, they have a women of the euros thread which is pretty cool

me too

it's the reason there are alot of polish/dutch/irish/what have you people in America right now.



So fucking giddy for today's game.

Where the **** was the offside?

THAT GOAL WAS ON-SIDE, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THESE REFEREES ARE FUCKING RETARDS

^ Yeah he was.

Wow, Thiery Henry is back for Ned v Fra..





Hmm, that makes things tougher. Offside trap back 4 anyone?

fuck what a stretch of 2 minutes

italy tied with frickin romania? wow this team is really trying hard to suck.

DID SOMEONE JUST DIVE IN THE BOX AND GET A PK AWARDED AGAINST ITALY?




AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH



damn, the karma didnt come full circle

This is great entertainment.

Yeah Buffon! I don't like Italy, but he is my fantasy football goalkeeper.
