EURO 2012

portugal are full of simpsons jokes, pepsi and rolando. okay, two.

I haven't wanted a team to win a tourney as much as I want Germany to win this since Brazil in '82.

stay classy, germany

what's with all the trash being thrown?

fucking German fans

What was it they were throwing? I just ate a meringue looked a bit like that.

wait, three simpsons jokes. c'mon, ariaga ii.

Portugal v Mexico kicked off some episode too iirc

ya ariaga ii was one of the hyped superstars in the pre-game ad.

o i see that there is is football happening.

Aw no, I thought that was going to be red

STFU LAWRO YOU FUN-KILLING PRICK

Lawro in typically bad temper. Fuck off!

laaaaame

Assuming it's bailout business. They'll probably give Ireland/Greece/Spain the same if they run into them at any point.

"Nationalmannschaft" - not a phrase Guy Mowbray should really be trying to pronounce, then.

he's such a dreary fuck

i don't know much about bruno alves but he looks like someone who could be capable of pepe-esque psychotic hyperviolence. could be interesting.

g d cheating germans, getting hurt when they get walloped on the leg.

i hate lawro

Neuer made a meal out of an appetizer on that tackel.

or tackle, even

not much of a soccer watcher but imo if you're down for more than 3 seconds you should have to leave the field, because clearly you must be really hurt. that shit is pathetic

this is soccer love it or leave it

no shoulder pads needed here

That actually is the rule k3vin, frequently described as 'ridiculous' on British TV

I knew Neuer wasn't really hurt because they didn't use the magic spray on him.

proper wing play from Ronaldo there

this is gonna be 1-0 win for portugal

heh i am a basketball fan and the flopping is starting to infect that sport too. it's just shitty to watch a grown man roll around in fake pain

oh what is the rule exactly?

Are Mowbray and Lawro just bringing out the worst in each other? They're really being quite insufferable tonight, maybe even more than usual.

Seeing them do it at the Olympics is when I feel ashamed to be human

statler and waldorf would be a more positive commentary pairing than mowbray and lawrenson.

If you're down long enough for the physio to come on, you need to leave the pitch. British telly has never understood why.

"gentle probing"

Heh heh, Statier and Waldorf! (who's that? I'm not getting any of your references these days)

TV here just showed a man with a taxidermy squirrel in the crowd. Why the squirrel?

Great game earlier. Perhaps Bren should visit the Krohn-Delhi to add some meat to the LFC attack. (not a real suggestion)

This match is shit.

I think Lawrenson's always this bad. It's like he thinks he's Terry Wogan at Eurovision.

yeah lawro/mowbray is the WORST (excepting alan green of course)

nice use of advantage there

xps the old heckler guys in the balcony seats in the muppets.

i will boldly post on in the face of incomprehension.

to be fair, based on his champions league form Gomez with the ball in the box is not an advantage.

I still don't get that New Orleans quip from the other day

ronaldo protecting the dental work

Not to mention Brick Lane-gate

anyone gonna score a good freekick in this tourney?

no ball complaints yet

Mowbray's really egging him on, though. It's not often I think I'd love to hear Graham Taylor commentating on this, but I really would. The cynicism here is numbing.

new orleans quip wasn't really a quip, university obligations are preventing me from going to new orleans! (where there happens to be a philosophy conference on.)

maybe i can adopt a posting style of crystalline factual positivism.

everyone knows who Statler and Waldorf are tbf

this is what reading derrida does to a man's ability to communicate, tbh.
