EURO 2012

he is an eejit tbf

Tyton doesn't really deserve to be dropped

Is Boenisch an ethnic German?

Tyton is fine. Why ruin a good streak?

He was born in Poland but he played his youth football in Germany i think.

boenisch played for the german youth team. i think he kind of reluctantly switched to representing poland.
xp

same with polanski

This Polish side are just such awesome fun, and Lewandowski's a magnificent flag-bearer. He's been outnumbered all night and never shirked anything. Really liking the look of him.

Arshavin looks totally done.

how often did he last 90mins for arsenal?

3 static Russian forwards in the box then, waste

He's on the verge of dry-heave here. Oyy.

Terrific game

Poland showing up the real measure of England's performance y/day

That was an absolute belter.

Yeah, very entertaining game

Pleased at that result. Means Russia will have to make an effort against Greece.

Poland/Czechs cd be a total stormer

as with almost all this tournament so far I only caught about half of that but it was great, stoked if they both end up going through

they are certainly the best two teams in the group

I hope they both do go through, though I'm not too confident of Poland actually winning a game after the first debacle.

Echoing all that about it being a great game. Everything felt much more sparked up than before.

Holland-Germany tomorrow

didn't think it was that good cuz russia didn't really funtion properly, zhirkov was contained by piszcczek/kuba and without him and to a lesser extent anyukov widening the defence arshavin and dzagoev had less space

kerzhakov is a clever player but he doesn't really have great acceleration or skill

ffs Chiles

russia are playing chic early 00s formation 'the xmas tree formation'

Agree want them both through (the one thing that could've made that better would've been if it'd been a knock-out stages tie, cos then the ending would've been menk), but at the same time I would find it sort of funny if Greece did Russia. Particularly if Samaras scored.

Thinking things could get kinda nasty if Russia win this tournament.

nasty is relative compared to the golden age of Soviet oppression, obv

The final's in Ukraine at least, I don't think Russia's hated there even in the west. The team is highly likeable too, I feel that should make a difference.

lol klassic klata

has dzagoev done anything arshavin-the-meme-esque yet to garner a thread before he is named player of the tournament and goes to real or psg

lot of ukrainan ppl who v much dislike russia

dzagoev will go to chelsea

marko marin will cry. again.

his hubris knows no bounds

he really is having an identity crisis

He looks like he should be on drums for Morrissey

poor guy can't pull of any look ever but that's a particularly bad choice.

Well he's not going to shave the transplanted bit of hair off is he? That would just be silly.

poor guy can't pull of any look ever

maybe he should try something along the lines of

The glinting eyes of the hereditary syphilitic (also syphilitic in his own right), the illiterate day-laborer’s jaws, the rachitic acromegalic face already filled the pages of Italia Illustrata

Did the paperbag guy donate his unwanted cuttings to the man on that acromegaly page?

rachitic acromegalic

I hear Chelsea are interested in this guy

ivan rakitić is an excellent player but i don't see him at chelsea

Noticing that in commentaries on matches involving Greece, the usual Greek mythological references trotted out by commentators are in danger of being superseded by Euro crisis ones
