EURO 2012

not much of a soccer watcher but imo if you're down for more than 3 seconds you should have to leave the field, because clearly you must be really hurt. that shit is pathetic

this is soccer love it or leave it

no shoulder pads needed here

That actually is the rule k3vin, frequently described as 'ridiculous' on British TV

I knew Neuer wasn't really hurt because they didn't use the magic spray on him.

proper wing play from Ronaldo there

this is gonna be 1-0 win for portugal

heh i am a basketball fan and the flopping is starting to infect that sport too. it's just shitty to watch a grown man roll around in fake pain

oh what is the rule exactly?

Are Mowbray and Lawro just bringing out the worst in each other? They're really being quite insufferable tonight, maybe even more than usual.

Seeing them do it at the Olympics is when I feel ashamed to be human

statler and waldorf would be a more positive commentary pairing than mowbray and lawrenson.

If you're down long enough for the physio to come on, you need to leave the pitch. British telly has never understood why.

"gentle probing"

Heh heh, Statier and Waldorf! (who's that? I'm not getting any of your references these days)

TV here just showed a man with a taxidermy squirrel in the crowd. Why the squirrel?

Great game earlier. Perhaps Bren should visit the Krohn-Delhi to add some meat to the LFC attack. (not a real suggestion)

This match is shit.

I think Lawrenson's always this bad. It's like he thinks he's Terry Wogan at Eurovision.

yeah lawro/mowbray is the WORST (excepting alan green of course)

nice use of advantage there

xps the old heckler guys in the balcony seats in the muppets.

i will boldly post on in the face of incomprehension.

to be fair, based on his champions league form Gomez with the ball in the box is not an advantage.

I still don't get that New Orleans quip from the other day

ronaldo protecting the dental work

Not to mention Brick Lane-gate

anyone gonna score a good freekick in this tourney?

no ball complaints yet

Mowbray's really egging him on, though. It's not often I think I'd love to hear Graham Taylor commentating on this, but I really would. The cynicism here is numbing.

new orleans quip wasn't really a quip, university obligations are preventing me from going to new orleans! (where there happens to be a philosophy conference on.)

maybe i can adopt a posting style of crystalline factual positivism.

everyone knows who Statler and Waldorf are tbf

this is what reading derrida does to a man's ability to communicate, tbh.

Did anyone mention shearer's tuft rip earlier? It's chatting up princess di in the china white's in heaven now.

great chance

coming to a league near you next season...

I had an idea but it turned out I was thinking of Sacco and Vanzetti xp

are we gonna have a tournament with one non-shite arsenal player?

Scweinsteiger's played a couple of godawful passes in the last 5 mins

walcott hat-trick monday

mertesacker managing to not mess up while on the bench.

i don't know if there's any way to sound more effortlessly xenophobic than referring to e.g. 'france' as 'the french'.

pepe just kicked gomez in the nuts

"the frogs"

Technically, Bendtner didn't miss any chances today.

Arshavin seems to be doing alrig...oh wait

pepe is v good. a psychopath, but awfully good.

this game is shit so far :(

this is not v good.

xp yop.

I'm pretty much sighing any time someone tries a shot now. Wonder if it's the heat that's affecting them. Lahm particularly seems to be sweating like a pig.

great delayed fall from nani there. was a foul.

oh. my. god.
