I don't remember 1984 Euros AT ALL. It's a complete blank to me, I should really track some of the matches down and give them a go. I'm not sure why I completely missed out on it 'cos I remember 1982 WC really vividly, and every Euro and WC since 1986.

Exactly the same for me. I remember being vaguely aware that it was happening, but I don't recall actually watching any of it. Maybe because England weren't in it, though I don't know how important that would have been - my key memories of 82 are all about that Brazil team, Paolo Rossi, and Schumacher trying to kick a French bloke's head off.

back then if England didn't make a tournament the tv companies weren't interested in showing most games.

That would explain it

Czech should pray Ronaldo has a bad day

klinsmann and hansen talking nonsense. If portugal don't win ronaldo is still one of the 2 best players of his generation

Shearer just bloody loves being in a football stadium

This side-on view makes Shearer look a bit like Putin

Cech should not grow a beard.

Jurgen Klinsmann just described Ronaldo as a "floater". I know Ronaldo's not the most popular guy, but possibly a bit harsh?

Taking the piss having Martin Atkinson as one of the goal-line refs.

i imagine roy will call alex oxlade-chamberlain into the side to deal with the threat of pirlo, what with him having marked him out of that champions league match at the emirates.

the beckham of ilx -- one trick, exceptionally well executed

i dont really notice referees much but howard webb is always terrible, the worst example of a ref who starts laissez faire, lets the game turn into a scrapfest and then has to spend the last half hour sending players off and shouting and pointing at random ppl like some hideous overgrown robbie keane

keown is such a twat

ah Figo.

cameraman picks out pretty girl, then her boyfriend comes into shot CUT

How do these people always spot themselves on the big screen? I never look up when I'm at the footy.

Did he say 'like an NFL basketball player'?

an NFL basketball player. Keown you tool. NBA NBA

although Lebron is kinda an NFL basketball player

ooh close

that would be a physique-and-a-half

such an idiot

Cech looks so bad

That was absolutely beautiful

eh not so sure that was a foul

sweet save, lame call

Loved the build-up. never a foul.

lol Webb

great interception from the psychopath

bad pass but coentrao took a good angle

back heel volley clearance attempt.

things that make me irrationally angry #2364

pronouncing cech's first name as peter. especially in 2012. fucking keown.

"all" the england games

from the fans that brought you "chesney"

haha

ooh fantastic

yeah great

that is *so* good

entertaining histrionics afterwards too

chesney is just because dude's name is kinda hard to spell. they pronounce his name correctly when saying it out loud. but if you cannot pronounce a player's easy name after he's been on tv weekly for 5+ years, then you are going to annoy me.

that cronaldo is decent, huh

"He's in a league of his own Jonathan"

unfortunately it's division two

wonder what his 2nd half hair cut will be?

Czechs started okay but I'll be a bit annoyed if they win tonight, this is as far as they should be going

xxxp nah. i can assure you only polish commentators say chezza's name properly

parting on the other side

xxp

Czechs started okay but I'll be a bit annoyed if they win tonight, this is as far as they should be going
