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

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

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

"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.

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.

In fact it was actually worse than the England game which at least had two goals in the first 45. This had... not much for the first half hour.
― Matt DC, Monday, 11 June 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
Might pick up in the second 45 but I feel I should maybe do something other than watch football for a bit as I'm already getting a bit jaded.
FWIW Spain v Italy was the best game so far with probably the best two teams.
― Matt DC, Monday, 11 June 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link
safe to say sweden is the worst team in the tournament so far.
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 11 June 2012 19:46 (eleven years ago) link
Sp/It was the best game
Poland, Ireland, Czech Rep all worse imo
