OT: euro 2012 tournament thread

If David Villa was there, the result wouldnt have been a question ... there are better options on the bench than Torres ... its like spain is daydreaming that if they could only drop Messi in there lol

Who do you think you are, Adnan Virk?

That's actually why I pull for Germany though, is because I like their utilitarian attack style. Who cares how it looks as long as it ends up in the net.

I also like that the Germans generally play the same regardless of opponent and that they keep attacking all game regardless of the score.

Spanish department of Immigration could probably process that citizenship application in 5 minutes

And the US immigration people would be saying "who are you again?"

followed by "Is that with a "Y" " ... and then "any relation to Lionel Richie?"

you know who else had a utilitarian attack style in Poland?






/I am going to get a lot of mileage out of this joke in this tourney.

I'm looking forward to the Sweden - Ukraine match as it could be the most beautiful game we've seen to date.

i think their style on the world stage isnt exactly a stoic utilitarian one anymore with all the "foreign" players they have ... theres alot of flash there

i actually dont like it that they refuse to switch strategies or focus within a game and its pervasive in all of german soccer ie Champions league loss to Chelsea

True, it does get them into trouble sometimes, as evidenced by the fact that they haven't won a major tournament in a long time.

GOOD OMEN!!! RT @ESPNSoccernet: England goalkeeping coach Ray Clemence has snapped his Achilles during the warm-up.

That's their rallying point - win one for Ray!

Might as well hand England the trophy now.

I remember practicing penalty kicks with my dad as keeper one day...He lunged to stop one of my shots and snagged his foot in a gopher hole. Tore some knee ligaments and I put him in a cast for six weeks.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

ugh england 1 - 0

is france gonna pull another team collapse?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

in the battle of the unsightly facial scars i would take Ribery any day but Joleon Lescott wins the battle with that goal

 

[jstewismybastardson]

my prediction for the rest of this game

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Nice strike by Nasri on that one.

 

[mattola]

soccer players behaviour can be quite dramatic
