while we wait...

I can't stop going back to this pic... Gawd damn.

God dammit Ukraine. Fuck France.

Put a fork in this one.

One of the host countries has to make it out. GO POLAND!

edit: nm, I forgot Ukraine won their first match.

that first goal was a 3 on 6 rush.
nice use of Ribery as a screen though.

Ribery always seems to play well for France, yet in my opinion isn't all that well recognized for his contributions.

Scarface doesn't quite get the endorsement offers that someone like Beckham might.
well, he did (allegedly) endorse those underage hookers in Paris a couple of years ago, but not sure he wanted that recognition.


Nasri has impressed me so far.

Lot of bookings in this one.

For me, he's been France's best player so far. Great goal in the first game and has looked excellent in this one even though he hasn't scored.

Make the final (Vic Rauter) 2-nil for Les Bleus...

/Coming up shortly, Tre Kronor versus Three Lions.

Some Swedish models made an inspirational video for their team (clean enough for YouTube, but some employers may take issue with it...and the song sucks, but hey):

Definitely a pro-Swedish crowd tonight...

/Ibrahimovic looks like a Samarai warrior

Sweden helped by the fact that they get to play all three group matches in Kiev so the fans don't need to travel.

I love Swedish women, but have have a decent amount of English ancestry... Hmm... Who do I want to win?

I think if you cheer for Germany you have to cheer against England by default.

Yea, I don't pay attention to the politics of the sport over there, not around it enough. As silly as it sounds, I root for teams out of ancestry. I'm not Swedish though, I just love a lot about the country.

 

[SLY]

... so, GO SWEDEN!

 

[dash]

Wow...Great service from Gerrard and Andy Carroll with a fantastic header.

1-0 England

Your timing was horrible.

I blame that goal on you

 

[SLY]

Dont blame me, I can't even see the game.
