EURO 2012

G'night.

Greece equalised too early. Bad strategy.

i like reus. dortmund are gonna be even more fun next season.

bum-a-ye

Only Schurrle letting the manager down, the other 2 scored.

wanna see gotze now, but it'll probably be kroos for ozil or schweini.

WS 4-1

goatse :D

the 2 marios

Greece equalised too early. Bad strategy.

absolutely otm.

aw Ozil deserved one

Anon, via text: "I am not sure if it's just me, but I see resemblance of Fergie when Merkel celebrated Germany's goal!"

Yes!

argh people on twitter plz plz STOP with the "austerity is winning" joeks because you sound so stupid. 5 goals is not austerity, 0-0 and pks would be austere, and for that matter the greeks when on are football austerity in its purest form aw forgetaboutit you're all stupid

austerity is a word of Greek origin, so there. :P

peno

GAME ON!

deserved for turning his back

how the fuck is this good for merkel in the polls?

i
hate
itv
so
fucking
much

wouldn't have got that at 1-1

Greece involved in tourney's highest scoring game!

WTF at this "deserve to be in this match, your continent and your currency" I seriously fucking hate ITV.

Not so sure England will stick 2 goals in vs Germany if they get past Italy.

Alan Green just said the Greek performance made him "want to throw up". I've obviously judged Greece too harshly, that's made me like them now.

Dunphy: German team full of ordinary players, Ozil goes missing in big games, saw Kroos play once for Bayern he's rubbish

robbie savage pronounces it ~shurl~

the churl

this whole 'england are like italy' thing that seems to be uttered by everyone from 400lb, £400kpa martin samuel to pseudo hard cunt danielle de rossi

is so fucking stupid

this england team are nothing like any previous italian national side or major serie a side ever

It's sad Greece's keeper wasn't a keeper

xp

i think it's code for "will sit back". as far as de rossi is concerned, it's code for "playing down our chances in order to get that underdog vibe working"

still think England have a 50/50 shout against Italy. should they sneak through, Germany will destroy them tho

30/70

england have never beaten a major nation in a knockout game outside of wembley

they nicked the 1-0 against Argentina that time

that was a group game

oops sorry was in pub surrounded by angry greeks

actually tbh it was not-that-bothered englishes who enjoy a kebab

so much pseudy tactical pablum abt brave scotty and steve subduing pirlo, if england do manage a win it will be with <40% possession and either a fullback being skinned or an aimless 30 yard chipped pass that barzagli fails to clear

I for one welcome it!

Although I prefer a John Terry handball à la Suarez...real evil racist cheating.

This "England are like Italy" thing is code for "boring, will try and win 1-0", but virtually every Italy team, even the shit ones, have been able to keep the ball better than any England team in years.

It's because no one wants to say "England are like Greece".

That's the current Greek team...because the one from '04 can keep the ball better than the current England lot.

"England are like Utd on a bad day"

No strikers again. Nor no Nasri neither.

Ooh Malouda has knifed Nasri over the last couple of days.

A France and Italy win will give us the same SF's as Germany '06 I think.

Malouda is so lucky to get a start imo.

This game could feature zero shots from inside the area, would that be a record?

Is Debuchy playing in MF?

That's strange about the same semis, that cant've ever happened before?

Is Debuchy playing in MF?

Yup, paired with Che Guevara to a disco beat.

haha

Re: repeating semis - who was the fourth team in the 82 semis (I know we had France, W Germany and Italy)?
