OT: euro 2012 tournament thread

I wonder if the English fans have started coming up with their excuses for why they didn't win, despite being the favorite (in their eyes at least) once again?

I gotta be honest, watching this game, I miss the vuvuzelas...

Maddog was a big England fan too.

Just sayin'

Wow, terrible call there results in Sokratis (don't want to try the last name) getting sent off.

 

[esls79]

Marginal call for a second yellow.

These refs are just as bad as the NHL's

Greece down to 10 men on a terrible decision by the ref - Papastathopoulous sent off for a nudge of a Polish player who had already lost his footing.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

This ref seems to love his bookings.

Crazy.

Edit: ESPN announcers just said that this ref led La Liga in red cards this season.

Greece is so poor financially they didn't even have enough to bribe the officials to call it evenly, much less for them.

Meanwhile, the Polish economy is zooming along nicely...

Really can't wait to see the German game now.

Portugal down to 2 men by the end of the game.

People shouldn't be surprised that the refs are giving out lots of cards, the Spanish refs are known for this.

Jason de Vos with some excellent first half analysis on TSN - Putting the new iso toy that Hrudey uses on HNIC to good use.

"and here come the Greeks ... 4 of em ... everything is happening ... Kypreos ... Chelios"
*head explodes scanners style*

Great chance for Sundin... ooooooh, baby!

ESPN is apparently trying to bring a little legitimacy to their broadcast as well. They've added Michael Ballack to the studio team.
