greece will waste the rest of this half while they stick w/ this myopic heavy-footed charging

"Queers in the national team? That's their business. But I hope not."

Ech, my dad's off to Warsaw on Friday for Russia's next game

Burley talking about someone's left arm being offside. Total fucking idiot.

Burley "if any part of your body that can score a goal is offside then your'e off..certainly his left arm was so technically he's off"

lol xp

It just struck me that Craig Burley was the last Scotsman to score in a major tournament finals.

Unless you count that Superbowl guy.

the last 'king ____ of scotland

i used to confuse paul lambert and craig burley back in the day

amirite p damn easy to confuse craig burley amirite heh

Not much chance of McGeady taking his crown now sadly

there was never a chance in fairness

comedy goalie

where was this against bayern you fuck?

shocker

Cech yrself before you wreck yrself

where was this against bayern you fuck?

otm

nothing better than cech making an arse of things

Slo-mo makes it look like he flinches in anticipation of clanging into the defender

Samaras

vintage sami

tottenham wonderkid pekhart arrives

some of the greek crossing in the last 10 mins has been excellent

looking forward to this

russian anthem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> polish anthem

It's nice to have an unfamiliar vicious blood rivalry to enjoy. The Russian team could do with looking a bit more evil though - a few Ivan Drago types would be useful. Awesome huge Russian flag during the anthems though.

poland v russia w/ german ref huh...

malafeev, the evil akinfeev

this fuckin' commentator

Former Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy in Warsaw:

"They want to do well for themselves as footballers and there's all this about the two nations against each other as well. It adds more pressure, certainly for the home players."

wolfgang stark, the bane of many a bundeslida FM10 campaign for me. Btw his last Bundesliga match resulted in Kobiashvili gettting a ban thru to Jan 2013 for hitting him after the match.

xxp re german ref

mick mccarthy must outstrip steve bittuhly bittuhly disapppointed bruce as the least intelligent longtime epl manager

can't believe the size of that banner

this has been good stuff so far

drury seems to think lewandowski->manu is a foregone conclusion?

can't see dortmund selling 2 of the best 5 players in the same close season myself.

Why was "THIS IS RUSSIA" in English?

i take it they're not singing "sacked in the morning"? Unless it's the russians singing about actually sacking the city?

cloooose

nice play

xxxp, so the Poles can read it too.

I don't think Lewandowski to Utd was ever really a thing

Kicking a man in the face, in the box, as he heads the ball: penalty?

pelanty imo

pretty unstoppable that

Dzagoev owning this tournament.

great run

thought malafeev had dived under that for a sec

what's that for???

Alex In NYC to thread.
