Cantona, I take it that you a Manchester UTD supporter, right? [:)] "1966 was a great year for English Football...Eric was born". Anyway, if I well understood this means your club is above or much more important than the English national team... since England was World Champion on 1966 [8D] Will we see a wild and crazy mud fight between Calderon & Ferguson? I would pay for such a fight...

cantona2 -> RE: Very OT : Euro 2008 (6/12/2008 12:17:39 AM)
Yes Tulius. England is not my national team as Gibraltar is not allowed to participate in FIFA and UEFA competitons for political reasons, which im not going to get into as this is a footie thread. Many United supporters (English ones!) put united above England as a rule of thumb. My only concern is that united players all come back fit from international games.

As a distant relative of Pocahontas, I'd happily welcome that young lady into the fold. Wait a minute - maybe I'm better off not being related to her! Awww... forget it... a geezer like me doesn't stand a chance with a young cutie like her...

No way m8 [:D] I know that the chances are something like 70-30 for Germany but you know .. the usual cliche ... the ball is round, everyone plays football and so on [;)]

TulliusDetritus -> RE: Very OT : Euro 2008 (6/12/2008 4:39:52 PM)
Hey Zond, are you going to park the bus and the players' cars in front of your goalkeeper or fight toe-to-toe with the Germans? Good luck, you will need it [8D] EDITED: and maybe you should "park" the Croatian girlies of your pic behind the German goalkeeper [:D]

Dixxie is right. We will beat you today, but you'll win your second game so that we can meet again in the finale :)

cantona2 -> RE: Very OT : Euro 2008 (6/12/2008 5:27:49 PM)
Enjoy the match lads. Unfortunately today we have our school's sports day and its an extra couple of hours work this evening, so no footie for me tonight [:(]

The teams from the Group A+B side and those from C+D side of the tournament play each other in the next round. Winner A v Runner up B Winner B v Runner up A Winner C v Runner up D Winner D v Runner up C Then the winners of each pair will play each other in the semi final. I was surprised as well...

Zond -> RE: Very OT : Euro 2008 (6/12/2008 6:05:50 PM)
And here are the possible lineups: http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/matches/match=300693/index.html Bilic decided to put Rakitic into starting 11 (Petric is out). A fairly offensive lineup. Just hope that Pranjic and Rakitic will manage to hold their bank, not the best choice for defensive. So, it's all out attack [:D] Less than an hour. Warriooooors, come out to plaaaaaaay-i-ay. [8D]

quote: ORIGINAL: Zond Hopefully , there is a webpage where you can improve your knowledge [;)] http://www.becomeacroatiafan.com/ Yep, we shall see [:)] I'll have a proper look later. The only player I'm really aware of is Ivica Olic of Hamburg. It's interesting how everyone feels Croatia will do well because they beat England in qualifying. I can't help thinking that this particular fact is (IMO) worthless as we aren't in the tournament, let alone one of the favourites [;)] Beating England would have maybe meant something if we were there....

TulliusDetritus -> RE: Very OT : Euro 2008 (6/12/2008 7:13:53 PM)
"It's interesting how everyone feels Croatia will do well because they beat England in qualifying" Not only because of that. Croatians have had excellent, talented football players (Prosinecki, Boban, Suker, etc). But unlike the Ukrainians (Shevchenko) or Nigerians on the 90s (Weah), they have in general balanced teams. Shevchenko & Weah could not fight alone against the other team. They were doomed. In other words, Croatia is more competitive.

Zond -> RE: Very OT : Euro 2008 (6/12/2008 7:25:17 PM)
Tullius Weah is from Liberia, not Nigeria [;)] In your face gentlemans. [;)] 1-0 [:D]

1 - 0 ? [I'm at work and can't watch it] What I said: Germany is not a Football Machine anymore [:D] Liberia? I always thought he was Nigerian (and, yes, you are correct) [8D]
