WW3 about to start on BBC1.

A gem from Stubbsy: "There's a bit of rivalry between these two countries..." (Germany v Poland).

Kudos to Lineker for having the guts to say the old joke: "If this were a game of scrabble, Poland would win easily"

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Germany look a bit tasty.

It looks ominous for the rest. :erm:

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

it does.... but hey they would have to play portugal/czech/turkey dont think the swiss will make it out of that group.

and tbh I would prefer the germans then cheating portugal

ow ffs it aint looking good for Holland now.... Robben is going to be out at least for 10 days....

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Van Persie is not ruled out for the Italy game though. :)

Germany looked alright, if a bit weak at the back. Croatia were disappointing imo (apart from a half hour spell). Austria were unlucky to not get a draw. I've not written off Poland yet. I can see them beating Croatia, and Croatia will struggle against Germany.

I'm looking forward to tonights matches, the first matches in the tournament that could go either way and not have an obvious favourite. I think Romania will cause an upset and beat the French and then Italy will beat the Dutch :)

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Certainly looks ominous for the Poles. They sent out a search party for Smolarek at half time and found nothing. Rumour has it he may have been on his way back to Rotterdam for coffee and cakes ;)

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

I fancy Romania as well but I still think Holland can do Italy

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Mutu to nick a goal or two.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

I just noticed that Holland - Italy is played in the Wankdorf Stadium :rofl:

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

I was wondering when somone would post that ;)

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Zut alors! :p:

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

I really hope the Italy v Holland match is more exciting than the French match, very dull and boring from the French, showed nothing to make me feel they will get through that group.

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

For the sake of football, I really hope I've just seen the two losers of that group.

France v Romania truly awful. :disturbd:

Re: The Euro 2008 thread
 

Shocking decision for that first Dutch goal, is the linesman blind???
