Beautiful football game between Denmark and Portugal. The Germans beat a lesser team, and looked like 11 tired undertakers whilst doing so.

If Ronaldo carries on playing like a complete donkey - did you see that performance today? - then yes, Holland could well make it. If you don't believe me - then just look at my score in the predictions competition [:D] Warspite1, You predictions are legendary. Reuters reports that the Oracle at Siwa Oasis is NOT looking for another job. In an exclusive interview she said, "I have seen the writings of Warspite and phooey..." Seems a bit harsh to me.

The end of season slump was as alarming as it was disappointing, but Levy better have someone proven to take-over.

Well there goes Spurs next season and most likely for a long time to come...Levy is a joke.

Orm -> RE: European Championships (6/14/2012 6:56:20 PM)
I had almost counted in two points for an Italian 1-0 win when Croatia made 1-1.[:(] No points to me but maybe someone else had more luck (or skill)?

british exil -> RE: European Championships (6/14/2012 7:00:17 PM)
no luck either. I had the result 2:1 You can't even trust the Italian team to score 2 goals. I guessed 2:1, they had it it their power to win but squandered their chances. In fact I think they were fortunate to get the draw. Mat

Orm -> RE: European Championships (6/14/2012 7:07:11 PM)
Yes. Croatia were stronger at the end. But the Italians had a couple of dangerous situations were they were unfortunate to be called for offside.

shunwick -> RE: European Championships (6/14/2012 9:40:57 PM)
Final score Eire 0 Spain 4. Worth the scoreline I think. It gets complicated in this group if Spain and Croatia draw in the last match. You have to fancy the Italians to do Eire.

Yes, true. What happens on 1-1? Goal Diff? This assumes Croatia can live with Spain of course. Italy might not have it easy. The Irish have nothing to lose.

Defeating Croatia is not going to be an easy walk [8D] The Croatians are (along the Spaniards) the most technical players in Europe. They always liked technique. And it's a small nation, they deserve a lot of credit: Suker, Boban, Prosinecki... they have always produced excellent players. What I said, it is NOT easy [;)] As regards Italy, as always, Italians's worst enemy is... er... Italy! [:D] This catenaccio thing is on their football genes. They have a lot of quality and could easily defeat any standard team... But... they score one goal... then they park the bus... the other team has the ball, they manage to score... they draw... [:D]

Edit: The above is similar in what I previously read in Swedish newspapers. Italians are unfortunately no strangers to this. They were eliminated a few years ago when Denmark and Sweden played a 2-2 tie in a equal situation.

Well after the last couple of games I think the scores on the doors are as follows: Redcoat..... 12 Dixie...........10 Orm..............9 rogo727.......8 british exil....7 Zeta 16........7 warspite1.....5 Dixie and Zeta 16 got full marks for predicting the score of the Spain-Eire game. Warspite1 got two correct predictions in the same day! Unlike the rest of us.

wodin -> RE: European Championships (6/15/2012 2:01:45 AM)
It's Martinez the Wigan boss or Moyes that Levy is looking at. Levy hasn't a clue. He never got on with Redkbnapp and was looking to get rid but couldn't as we were doing well, as soon as the form dips and Rednapp wants four years on a contract he knew he had him. Watch the exodus of players, Modric,Bale and Van der vart for starters. Levy wants Moyes as he thinks he wont have to spend as much on players as Moyes can do well on near enough no money with abit of money Levy thinks he will be able to do what other managers do with loads. Watch Moyes come to us and Rednapp goto to Everton, then watch Everton rise up and Spurs go back to mid table obscurity. Has to me the most bizarre and plain stupid Manager sackings\walkouts that I can remember. Thats Spurs next season out the game and could well be out the game full stop. Liverpool and the likes will be made up, I know their fans are as I live here. It's less competition for the fourth place. Today is the day I realise that Spurs will never hit the big time and fight for the upper echelons again as they just love to mess it up. The last decent manager we had before Rednapp was Venables and Sugar got rid of him because he didn't like his outside business practices. Anyway this is off topic really. Just needed to rant.

RANT TIME [:@] Why are the French wearing all blue? Where's the white shorts and red sock malarchy? Why are England wearing all white with red, yes red trim? And what is that hideous blue excuse for an away kit? A few years ago the Italians mucked around with their shade of blue [&:] I hate it when people change things like this. The Germans have more class - white shirts, black shorts and White socks no messing - it's tradition. Right, open post to the FA and the French equivalent - show some respect for tradition, have some class and wear your proper kit or I'm going to get soojan to start hitting people....okay?
