Beautiful. I don't know why I always spend time designing the kit, I get nothing out of it. At least you can see it, unlike my carefully-selected avatar.

do you ever get the feeling this truce might not be 100% for realsies

"great set of lads though the madrid boys," he said balling his fists so tightly they bled

That's it, Muller has to start ahead of him

Mike Helms (via Facebook): Who would you like to swap places with, just for a day?

Götze: Justin Bieber. I mean there’s quite a lot of hype surrounding us players, but that’s small beer when you look at this guy. I’d just love to be in his shoes for a day, see what it’s like being on stage as a singer or actor.

That's the hubristic setup that was missing for a Spanish disaster here, good work Xavi

Enjoy your holiday @rioferdy5 . Roy is gonna regret that decision. Licking John terry's salty balls. I hope he chokes on it.

@TheRealEboue
Just bcuz @rioferdy5 stood up 4 his brother that was racially abused by Mr JT. U disrespect d guy & drop him. Mr Roy shud shit & eat it

What, is Müller not starting? I've a fantasy team depends on him.

He'll be starting IK, don't worry.

Van Bommel OTM

When it was put to Van Bommel on Thursday that the chanting was a protest against Euro 2012 organisers, he said: "Open your ears. If you did hear it and don't want to hear it, that is even worse."

Muller's been a bit pony this year hasn't he? I'd worry about building a team around him.

i thought he had been dropped more because he was criticizing heynckes and the other players than for playing poorly

three goals and seven assists in the ten qualifying games

has the fantasy league site crashed for everyone?

never mind. i wouldn't dilly dally if you want to get a team in though.

michael ballack as an analyst alongside alexi lolas? lol

Eh hold on, the early kickoffs are at five o'clock, not six? I'm not going to be home in time ffs.

Is that his expression upon hearing that Loew is considering Sven Bender at full-back?
xp
So stoked for this btw. Looking forward to the Piszczek/Kuba right wing axis this afternoon. Oh good an opening ceremony, at least it isn't 4 hours long.

12 minutes long apparently, ALL OF WHICH I WILL BE MISSING

There's a dj on a bedazzled gold shirt. And charlie adam in a tuxedo print tee shirt!

the pianist is now doing keepy uppys. i hope the london2012 opening ceremony has something that good to go with reanimated keith moon.

piano guy is rubbish at football

surprised Greece aren't starting that young Schalke CB Kyriakos, thought he was supposed to be excellent.

well his shirt has 'Adam' on the back. More LFC at the Euros#biggestclubineurope

but they said pianist used to play in one of the countries' national futsal team
xp

there are inflatable paddling pools on the pitch, which has been covered in a big tarpooling. and now they have organised people into a white six point star. could be an anti-jewish thing, commentary isn't letting on.

xxp yes he's raw but v physically imposing and used to playing against lewandowski, i'm surprised as well.

michel platters didn't look impressed.

greece are going to lose because of the austerity measures according to hansen

hasn't this ninis kid been the next big thing for a long time? i see he has joined palermo for next season.

looking forward to seeing ninis

the greek messi

glad to see Ninis is starting. ZM said he might just be an impact sub. never actually seen him tho

omfg my flatmate hasn't paid the internet bill which means i'm phone-tethering with not enough allowance to stream video. i'll kill um.

Sami time! A chance for the big man to infuriate on the big stage.

There's international futsal now?! xp I suppose there are really good world cups and everything going on, while we spend a few decades refusing to participate.

gekas such a goal poacher, barely looks like a footballer for most of the 90 mins.

Is this the best tournament ever yet?

2 of the last 3 Euros have been great. Bound to be a disappointment.

Poland killing it down the right.

blimey that was close. greece are looking like a mess already. everyones lewandowski tgs bets could be working out here.

LEWANDOWKI!!!!!!!!!

1-0! My man!

greece unsurprisingly looking awful

Poland killing it down the right.

Was about to post that then the goal came from the right. Greek defence is a mess, left back caught 1 v 2 umpteen times.

If Greece are gonna score it's going to be a set play surely.

tbf to Greece tho, lewandowski was going to score here no matter what.
