Re: Euro 2012
 

nope..dutch 2-1...my forecast on talksport

---------- Post added at 17:37 ---------- Previous post was at 17:36 ----------

denmark winning will just be a fluke..it can happen..but still a fluke

Re: Euro 2012
 

A prediction thats looking pretty shaky at the moment Colin.

Re: Euro 2012
 

are you watching the same game?..dutch are superior...52 minutes to go

---------- Post added at 17:41 ---------- Previous post was at 17:40 ----------

i was more worried whether demark would score...so they have done the hard bit...quite well

Re: Euro 2012
 

Of course the Dutch are superior but you have to put the ball in the back of the net.

Re: Euro 2012
 

:disturbd:

Do Holland even want to win? They need up the pace and show a lot more purpose.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Argh but yeah the dutch are playing holding football but not getting it in the ball in the net yet

Re: Euro 2012
 

Afellay needs to step up. he's been moved around to try get a foothold but he's playing with nervously.

Holland have gone into this fixture on the back of hammering Northern Ireland. Its evident they thought they could link up without a problem but Denmark have stood tall and stopped that. Now what? a change in personnel?

Re: Euro 2012
 

Okay bring on the hunter for affelay and van der vaart for sneijder

Re: Euro 2012
 

The Dutch becoming very flat here in the second half.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Ahem ;)

Re: Euro 2012
 

depressing match

Re: Euro 2012
 

1st day spoiled us...this is the usual fare

Re: Euro 2012
 

Now we can expect the post mortem in the Dutch media.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Cr@p...

Re: Euro 2012
 

Wouldn't call it a post mortem more a massacre

Re: Euro 2012
 

every bike will be thrown into the river now. mayhem, total mayhem.

Re: Euro 2012
 

are you trying to scare the girls? :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

Why did they not play their strongest side instead of leaving RVDV and JKH on the bench.:shrug:

Re: Euro 2012
 

Robben thinks he has all the time in the world. he does realise that every chance he fluffs time is eaten up?! no link up. he provides a good forward push but if the Dutch can replace him, tactically change it dropping Robben they should. Use him as an impact sub.

Re: Euro 2012
 

It did help that the Danish played behind the ball and that the ref was blind but yeah we should have scored.

Huntelaar and rvp in the start against the Germans and hope they draw tonight

---------- Post added at 19:08 ---------- Previous post was at 19:07 ----------

THenry agree that robben was very wasteful and selfish as well

Re: Euro 2012
 

It was a poor game, but we did create plenty chances. I can't believe we didn't score at least one.

So: Holland to not make it out of the group, and England to win it? :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

My money on v.Marwijk growing a pair and going 3-4-3 against the Germans

Re: Euro 2012
 

wash your mouth out. :D

That said..BBC did show the 1992 tourney...and denmark did it then..and said..if denmark..why not england.

I have germany to win 2-1..hoping I get this right.

Oh..and..2-1 for France too :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

and pigs can fly?

If van marwijk had any balls he would have had RVP and Huntelaar as strikers instantly on the pitch together with vdv and sneijder.

Was quite surprised with Willems thought he had a good game.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Well one right and one wrong there dan.:)

Re: Euro 2012
 

Yes, but don't worry...at least England will go out with a tight defence :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

He needed to do that at half time. Should have given v.d. Wiel the hook as he is not good enough and pushed de Jong into a back three with him coming out when the Danes parked the bus.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Come on Germany me thinks

Re: Euro 2012
 

Yes, and not because of ronaldo. Normally i am not keen on the germans, but they have lately been playing some nice football.

My problem..I want to watch this match...the darts..and the brazil vs argentina match. I only have one tv and my laptop :(. Someone is going to miss me

Re: Euro 2012
 

That thing that's been living on Raul Mereiles's head lately seems to have departed.

Nice combover on Ronaldo. 8.5 for artistic merit.

Re: Euro 2012
 

And probably not score a goal in the process.:)

Re: Euro 2012
 

My opinion earlier in the German game is that the ref should have played the advantage instead of a free kick

Re: Euro 2012
 

The BBC commentators do not seem to like Germany....

Re: Euro 2012
 

No doubt they still remember the war...or been told stories of how the beaches on holiday were covered with german towels

Re: Euro 2012
 

bet365 are broadcasting Argie vs Brazil. Brazil 1 nil up. i want to place a bet but I'm unsure having lost earlier thanks to boring Denmark!!

Re: Euro 2012
 

l am afraid BBC Euro 2012 coverage frankly has been very poor.:td:

Re: Euro 2012
 

stop moaning good ol'd 'Arrys on

Re: Euro 2012
 

London's finest according to some,:)

Re: Euro 2012
 

So is ESPN..i am watching now

Re: Euro 2012
 

rioters give a speech today did they :p:

Re: Euro 2012
 

If you place a bet on Brazil being 1-0 up...put £1m on for me too..i am certain ypou will win :D

---------- Post added at 20:37 ---------- Previous post was at 20:36 ----------

1-1...forget bet :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

True, but Holland's chances would be helped greatly if Germany and Portugal were to draw...

Re: Euro 2012
 

why oh why are you not listening to these 1st class pundits speak. one of your very own is on for goodness sake. :rolleyes: some people

---------- Post added at 20:39 ---------- Previous post was at 20:37 ----------

i really want to bet but again I've lost too much money today :fit:

Re: Euro 2012
 

You seem to enjoy that betting a bit too much thenry...

Re: Euro 2012
 

But is he winning?.

Re: Euro 2012
 

:o: when i get a gutt feeling like yesterday its awesome but today was more of a play it safe which ultimately backfired again. i hope Germany doesn't let me down. that'll be a complete disaster :(

---------- Post added at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:42 ----------

not today :(

---------- Post added at 20:44 ---------- Previous post was at 20:43 ----------

Argy Bargy 2-1 up now lol

Re: Euro 2012
 

Finally the Germans take the lead.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Strange..you could see the goal coming..Portugal seemed slow

Re: Euro 2012
 

Not the goal the Dutch wanted.

Re: Euro 2012
 

I like that the ref is not allowing pulling of jerseys

And i see Mourinho is there...I don't fancy his date :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

thats cruel, thats his son lol

---------- Post added at 21:41 ---------- Previous post was at 21:36 ----------

theres a cracker going on in Argy. 3-3. quick whos going to win lol

Re: Euro 2012
 

Yeah all depends on if the dutch can beat the Germans and hope the Danish draw with Portugal or best loose

Re: Euro 2012
 

It's New Jersey they are playing...:D

---------- Post added at 21:45 ---------- Previous post was at 21:44 ----------

Argentina :)

Re: Euro 2012
 

bloody hell Colin!

Re: Euro 2012
 

It looks like we'll have to work on our goal difference in the game against Germany :ninja: :disturbd: :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

did you see their bench lol good luck. i truly hope your gaffer tactically changes it and for a starter benches Robben making him an impact sub.

Re: Euro 2012
 

V. Marwijk isn't known for changing things, so fat chance of that. In a nutshell, we're ****ed...

Re: Euro 2012
 

Wenger must be his best mate

Re: Euro 2012
 

Olsen is, actually ;)

Re: Euro 2012
 

who cares. whos that chick in your avatar? send her over ill buy her a bike she can ride all night.

Re: Euro 2012
 

That's my wife... :upyours:

Re: Euro 2012
 

everyone thats hot is your wife. you sure you havent been hanging out with Gary L for too long ;)

Re: Euro 2012
 

I don't 'hang out' with Gary, on account of him being a half-witted ****. The bum in my avatar reminds me of my wife's bum though. Well, my wife's bum a few years ago anyway. I still love her. :)

Re: Euro 2012
 

sit ups and a brisk walk ;)

Re: Euro 2012
 

Re: Euro 2012
 

Spain need someone to put their foot through the ball with power.

Re: Euro 2012
 

They need to play a proper striker.:)

Re: Euro 2012
 

Arshavins Euro performance has impressed Ray Parlour. He blames Wenger for Arshavins poor performances at Arsenal:

http://m.sportsmole.co.uk/football/a...ear_30331.html

Re: Euro 2012
 

Can't these ex players keep their mouth shut.:td::(

Re: Euro 2012
 

I blame Arshavin for Arshavin's performances.

He obviously is more interested in playing for country...for club..it depends on his mood..he gets the money regardless. For country..he is more likely worried about what fellow russians think about him...wants to still be the hero

Re: Euro 2012
 

Well the Spanish are under pressure now.:)

Re: Euro 2012
 

Just turned into a great little game this Spain - Italy match

Re: Euro 2012
 

Well the Italian lead lasted all of two minutes.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Torres should have flicked the ball over to his left there

Re: Euro 2012
 

Not really much that Arshavin can do at AFC when the manager insists on playing him on a wide position when his whole game ia based on being a central player.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Spains formation went from 4-6-0 to 4-5-0 when Torres came on.

How he comes on before Llorente is strange.

Re: Euro 2012
 

Well i was not expecting Spain and Italy to have a result like that

Re: Euro 2012
 

Great game then the blubber faced irritant Adrian Chiles starts spewing white noise. Please ITV spare us!

Re: Euro 2012
 

He is very irritating

Re: Euro 2012
 

Another third rate presenter who they call a expert l am afraid Peter.:td::(

---------- Post added at 19:50 ---------- Previous post was at 19:16 ----------

Not a very good start by the Irish.

Re: Euro 2012
 

So far, Germany have probably had the best weekend considering the group they are in.

Re: Euro 2012
 

OMG..1-1...I have 0-0..so ok for the result if not the score..but prefer ireland to win..screw the score :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

Yes you can always rely on those trusty old Germans.

Re: Euro 2012
 

I hope so. I have them in my work sweepstake :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

All over for thr Irish now l am afraid.:(

Re: Euro 2012
 

I think the performance by the Irish was poor and pathetic, and did not deserve anything.

And with England up tomorrow, l bet it will be the same performance as usual. Has anyone heard the hint of the 'heat' crop up, this could be an excuse if we draw or lose - and l am not being pessimistic either.

Tomorrow, we are playing a team that has not been beaten for about 23 matches.

Re: Euro 2012
 

France have issues. their not tactically sound even if they have a qaulity squad. i reckon theres hope for England but its attack where my worries are. if our players can work it and not waste too much then we could grab 3pts.

Re: Euro 2012
 

I'm not bitter, I'm not bothered whether England win or lose but I thought this was awesome :D

Re: Euro 2012
 

Expected team for tonight according to the Beeb

LINKY

Re: Euro 2012
 

Two wingers that barely played for their clubs all season long start for England....

I suppose its better than Downing.

Re: Euro 2012
 

36 Appearances for Milner and 26 for the Ox, must be a new definition of barely ;)

Re: Euro 2012
 

plus they have goals and assist :p:

Re: Euro 2012
 

Well lets hope and pray.:)

Re: Euro 2012
 

I bet over half of those were as a sub though

Re: Euro 2012
 

Wiki doesn't define subs very well. It seems some comps they get counted and in others they don't.
Some proper stats.

Ox - 15 Starts - 11 as sub. Total 26

Milner - 25 Starts - 19 as sub. Total 44
