EURO 2012

wow Jonathan Pearce is talking a lot of bollocks, even by his bollocks-heavy standards

played the xx before the last game too. Might be a thing

OMG Love the Swedish Kit!

sashed kits are the best

peru, juventus away the other year, usa! usa! usa! the other year, some others icrc

river plate obv

city away

I had a lovely sashed Inter 1994 away and my wife ironed the collar off it :(

spain away for this tourney has half a sash

Shevchenko giving himself a breast massage there o_O

4 andriys for ukraine, 2 andreases for sweden

yeah so does russia, it looks alright but obviously not as good as a full sash

konoplyanka/khacheridi probably the biggest size difference between adjoining players

Ooh yes, lovely shirt

Blimey they're obsessed with calling Zlatan "enigmatic"

Looking frwd to seeing Yarmolenko.

Ahum. That's as camp as this thread needs to be I think.

i didn't watch the senile cunts at the beginning, did an-sen and co say anything about any of the players other than ibrahimovic and the ones who have played in england

are they playing 2010 era sixth form faves the xx

played them before the poland greece match too

it is an intro like

heh

Rosenberg was rubbish for Werder Bremen last year.

no they didn't nakh
xxp

there seemed to be a fair bit of criticism at the last world cup when they were mocking lee dixon for having heard of marek hamsik

well, that was dreadful

saw Dixon being shouted down in one of the earlier games for trying to introduce some research

I don't like it when teams w the same color scheme play each other, not cool teams

well sweden and ukraine are kind of cousins from the vikings who sailed down the rivers and established the kievan rus' (iirc?) so they maybe can agree to disagree and call it a draw

that would be fair imho

this will always be thee sash for me...

eng-fra was first game my 3.5-yr-old son has ever watched. he said "i want to play". i knew what he meant.

ha awesome

sounding like an old man but why can't the goalie catch that?

if his shot had been worse tap in at far post

I don't suppose there's any chance of them reducing this back down to eight teams?

i wish; bar russia this group stage has been shitty balls

group of dearth

my apologies if anyone's watching this

lol i'm really enjoying this.

"Was the ball wobbling there, the Tango ball, in the air?" I'm not sure any commentator so far has avoided discussing the ball, even if it's just to note there's not been any controversy about the ball.

Seems to building up a bit now.

yeah this is fine compared to the england game xxp

Anyone remember Turkey valiantly winning like three games in a row in stoppage time? Amazing wasn't it?

First group games are usually shite, it'll be better when they all decide they have to win.

Fuck! Should've scored

this game has been way better than the eng-fra game.

ibby!

oh fuck off keown. he hit the post, it isn't like he is paul fucking dickov.

teams with overall worse players more entertaining than teams w/ good players playing not to lose

"funny old game"

This will be Hamrén's speech at half-time

This game isn't that good, you're all just overcompensating for the England game.

otm

well i only saw the first 30 mins of eng so no

Hold on, how come Shearer's in the studio?

Did he get homesick?
