EURO 2012

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?

Nasri claiming to deliberately shoot at near post to confuse Hart. Lies.

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.

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.

safe to say sweden is the worst team in the tournament so far.

Sp/It was the best game

Poland, Ireland, Czech Rep all worse imo

Much being made of the rigidity of England's 4-4-2. I thought England looked more 4-2-3-1 than 4-4-2 with the ball, when they got decent possession. Nothing wrong with two 4s or even a 4-5 when you haven't got the ball imo. All about how quick you can change it when you get possession.

Beside Sp/It you'd expect Germany to play better.

ibby on his worst day >>> croatia/roi

Spain/Italy was a good game. Poland/Greece was entertaining in its own way. Russia need to play somebody convincing so we can work out how good they are.

onimo otm btw, for the first 45 it really wasn't a 4-4-2 at all

Bah!

controversial lol

Zlatan!

ibby! not a big match playa!

If I'm the Ukraine manager I want this guy's leg to be broken if he's chosen to lie down rather than get up and fucking defend.

^^^^

please stop saying ibby

glorious

Oh nice

Shevy Gol

SHEVCHENKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice response from Ukraine

sheva! milano strikers 4eva

Now that's been a good few minutes.

Even if he can't run, he's probably a better bet to score than Milevsky or Seleznyov.

Portugal and Holland the only teams not to score. Still when you've only got RVP and Ronaldo it's to be expected really.

Sheva and Ibra... what year is this?

good tourney for headers so far

YES!

otm

oof!

SHEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OMG

Crazy times now.

Kiev might be a lot of fun tonight
