we'll we've seen all the teams play and so far none of them look good enough to win it yet. Even though the Swedes have the best result Bulgaria game them a run for their money for 60 mins..

Was impressed with Latvia yesterday but up a god performance just hope they can keep it up against the other teams in their group..

Re: Euro 2004
 

I have to admit I don't watch a lot of football, but did anyone else think the amount of shirt pulling/arm holding etc, in this match, was excessive? Van Nistelroy's goal was exceptional - especially as the defender had him in a bear hug, when he scored it.

Re: Euro 2004
 

it goes on all the time now.. what really annoys me :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: is the diving and cheating that goes on.. How can any top ref \ the FA \ UEFA \ FIFA think that the standard human reaction to getting kicked in the face like that German \ Brasil bloke Kuranyi was is to cover your face go ARRRGGG and then roll over 6 times in each direction !! :Yikes: :Yikes: :Yikes:

if that was the case what would boxers do when they got kicked...

It seems only the refs and the governing bodies think rolling on the floor 15 times after a slight touch is believable and then 2 minutes later they can sprint for 40 yards..

It's been going on since the first game of the tourney and really should be stopped.. They are meant to be sportsmen.

Re: Euro 2004
 

Yes, I saw some footage on BBC where they showed how one of the German defenders was holding Van Nistelrooy during corners. Completely unacceptable.

Bolton are to fine their Greek midfielder' Stelios, a weeks wages under club rules for getting cramp whilst playing against Portugal in Euro 2004.:disturbd:

Re: Euro 2004
 

TBH, after such a poor start to the game, Frings could only get better :erm:

Re: Euro 2004
 

The corners were very messy, weren't they, I got the impression during one of them, that the players were so intent on pushing & shoving each other, they hardly realised the ball had arrived :erm:

Uefa have started disciplinary proceedings against Totti for spitting at Poulsen during Italy-Denmark. He could face a three match ban.

Re: Euro 2004
 

ok but what about all the diving and cheating that has been going on or is that allowed ?

Re: Euro 2004
 

It's called the beautiful game for a reason I suppose :)

Spain-Greece 1-1. Tonight's loser goes home, unless it's Portugal, who are home already.

Re: Euro 2004
 

Well it seems after many have called for harsher punishment it has now happened.

The sore losers after their defeat have been punished.

Re: Euro 2004
 

damn right too.. Found out where the rioting happened was nowhere near where any of the games were!! Don't think anyone involved in it were proper fans.. UEFA don't seem concerned about it at the moment..

Trouble i find is that the media and not just the UK media always focus on our fans.. The German's have this sort of trouble as well but that never gets reported about on the same scale..

Re: Euro 2004
 

No, they're probably waiting to see if we get past the first round........then they'll ban us!:D
