Re: Euro 2004
 

Fantastic game, just like an English FA cup match with added skill. I think that the Dutch defender should have been sent off for the first yellow card foul, never mind the second..

Over 36 attempts on goal.:tu:

Re: Euro 2004
 

Well, you can't say either team went for the draw ;) which was good to see.

Re: Euro 2004
 

Heitzigar? Didn't see the first yellow but that second booking shouldn't of even been a foul, nevermind a yellow card.

From what I saw in the second half.. Reffing was again dire. The germany/latvia game was pathetic from a ref's POV.. Dismissing 3 definite claims for a penalty. Seems they're scared to award them to the minnow teams.

Re: Euro 2004
 

Strangely enough, that didn't seem to stop it being an entertaining match. :shrug: Attacking play from both teams.

Even after Koller was replaced by a defender, the Czechs were still going forward.

Re: Euro 2004
 

Believe me, the first yellow was a for a cynical, blatant scything down of an opponent who had skinned him with a great piece of skill . I think that the dear departed Kent Walton should be resurrected to commentate on the play in the box. As Ian Wright said, the Czech defender was almost "giving him one" when he held Van Nis in a bear hug before throwing him to the ground, Mick McManus would have been proud of that move.

Re: Euro 2004
 

I am gutted. Holland deserved a point from that game. I just hope the Czechs have the decency to field a decent side against Germany. I can just see Germany get an undeserved 1-0 win to the Czechs to proceed to the quarters at Holland's expense.

Re: Euro 2004
 

Well from my original post above.

It appears due to a technicality of English Law he has got away with it.

Accused of inciting a riot sentanced to 2 years then deported but because he never served any of his sentance over there then he was released here.

:disturbd:

Says it all really about the good ole British Justice System.

Re: Euro 2004
 

damn was hoping the Czechs would loose then they would have all to play for against Germany and then knock them out :)

Latvia played well and have impressed me so far. Must be the ex Palace players helping alot :)

Re: Euro 2004
 

Portugal and Greece through,

Re: Euro 2004
 

Well done Portugal. My money was on Spain for this match, but despite a poor first half, Portugal worked harder than Spain, and deserved the win.

Re: Euro 2004
 

wanted Spain to get through but still nice to see the hosts go through and well done Greece. About 1 goal and no points or wins in WC or Euro and now thorugh to next round..

Abit worried about tonight no Hargreaves or Butt so if we want a defensive midfielder it will be Phil Neville :( He can't play, pass, has no vision and just gives away stupid fouls in dangerous places or worse still pens.. And that's from a Man U supporter :Yikes:

Re: Euro 2004
 

*Ahem* King? He plays defensive midfield normally. And he is bloody good at it. Seriously impressed in the opening game. He must have been a bit gutted at Terry coming back.

Noooooo
 

Croatia 1-0 England-say it ain't so, I'm @ work, & just heard it on the radio....::cry:

Re: Noooooo
 

Err lets just say shoot the defence as always :(
Scholes just missed one as well :(
Arrrrrrrrrrgh come on England!!!!!!

Re: Noooooo
 

Oh yes it is Neil - sorry - but perhaps this will give them the kick up the ar$e they need :D

Re: Noooooo
 

The sack is what they need.

We can try and rebuild our forlorn international fortunes using fringe players and Division 1 players, they can't be any worse than this overpaid bunch of prima donnas.

I'd just remind everyone, some of the England pansies on that pitch earn £50,000 a week. A week! Say it slowly so it sinks in! And yet for all that money they couldn't manage even 5 minutes without conceding a goal against a bunch of part timers.

Their minds are already in the bars, clubs and gambling dens, sack them now and get people in with a bit of pride in the job.

Re: Noooooo
 

*cough* bluddy admins who should know better than to start a new thread on a subject already being discussed elsewhere... *cough* ;)

Ok, ok-I've been offline for a while & didn't see that the original thread! :dunce:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

:rolleyes:

Re: Noooooo
 

:tu:

As a mere female I agree wholeheartedly! :D

Re: Noooooo
 

What makes it worse is that these 'professionals' get paid for playing for England. :Yikes:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

I can't see England staying 1-nil down for long, they're playing some really attacking football now that the pressure's on.

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

OK, to show there's no hard feelings, and as I'm sure you lot would do the same in return (YEAH RIGHT!!), plus the fact it's a pretty good game so far, I shall say this once and once only.....

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!




I still favour Wales though!!

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Huh ? We can't shoot for toffee......the goalkeeper flappin' so where the balls should be comin' froms ? the wide areas..... grrrr...

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Flipping eck!

England are having way way more of the game, but when the Croats attack they just seem as though they can shoot! :mad:

Is scholes wearing trainers? Does he not realise he can stay on his feet when making a challange? From the past 2 croat attacks, they have come indirectly from scholes diving in, and allowing the croats to hit a long ball.

I flipping hate to say this, but I can't see us scoring at this stage.. Owen's playing carp, yet another good game from rooney but he hasn't got owen to properley link up with on the


YESSSSSSSSSSS

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Rooney!!!!!!!! Rooney!!!!!!!!!!

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Go Russ ;) 2 for 2.... keep it up :tu:
As for Rooney, they will probably hack him to bits in the second half and hope he retaliates and gets sent off :mad:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Collina wouldn't let the Croats hack him to bits. he a very good referee if a lil scary.

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Right, if I get 10 more reps, you guys get one more goal ;) :D

edit - and can people please stop PMing me asking for next week's lotto numbers :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

4-2 + 10 minutes left = ARGH!

I can't watch, lol.

I REALLY don't want another repeat of what happened at France.

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Sorry Boyo! :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

No - you have to do better than that Paul! ;)

Erm - can I think about it and post later? :scratch: :Sprint:

"COME ON ENG......." uh uh, I want more reps!!!!

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

BTW is that a Recaro car seat that Sven is sitting in?!?

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Trading reps for goals? Is that ethical in your status of forum administrator Mr David ;)
Since it's England playing RED reps might be more apt ;)

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

You complaining??? ;)

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Come on Mr Collina, blow the whistle :erm:

Here we go, Here we go, Here we go :dmonk:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

4-2 :eek: My word we actually played half decent football today ;)
Well done to Pierluigi Collina for allowing the game to be played :)

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Yes, a lot of the Spanish/Portugese teams have leather recarro seats on their 'bench'!

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Well done England :D


And Russ ;) :)

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Us slapheads hold the REAL power ;)

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

We WON???

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

WOOHOO! :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

:D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

No-it's a bench seat! :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

No comment ;) Not gonna be bald and mention the glaring oppurtunity that remark has created for people to brush aside your feelings and comb the forum for posts where you defended your hairstyle.
(yay wales ;) )

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Isn't that skinstyle?

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

I could always cheer for Portugal in the next round y'know.......:D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Yay Wales.... how many is that?
Now Russ we know you wouldn't do that, you are a Shining light here at the forum ;)

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

I don't care. I'm from Yorkshire, not England!! :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Only two, I think.


Yay Wales!

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

once upon a time, someone I know would have come up with a photoshop of a piccy of you in a cheerleader outfit :D

- whatever the colour of your pom poms, on Thursday, thanks for your support tonight :tu:

Thanks also to Croatia & the Referee for helping it to be a good clean game, played in the right spirit :cool:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

When I display these abilities, comments like that are best avoided, 'boyo' ;) :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Now now Russ, don't abuse your abilities ;)

By the way "Wales - it's great - lovely countryside and friendly people :angel: "

does that make four ?

EDIT - and some seriously cute women :naughty:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Ahh, now that'll do :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Right I vote that we all club together and get Russ a ticket to the next game, so that he can be the new England mascot.

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Three words......

"Know your limits" :D

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Well I thought that if we polished your head we could use it to distract the opposition.






have i pushed the limit enough yet? :D :p:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

yes

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

oh pooh :(

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

Need to sort out the defence. Four goals conceded, one penalty and three from set pieces, although David James, aka Dracula, did make one or two decent saves towards the end, the defence seem to have no confidence in him. Great team performance and Wayne is "the man".:cool:

Re: MERGED - Euro 2004
 

even though I am only half Welsh, I am delighted to be honoured by that - thanks :D
