OT: euro 2012 tournament thread

Considering that Sweden is the tallest squad in the tournament, they sure are doing poorly in the air.

I think I heard they are the oldest team in the tourney as well...

/Did I see Lidstrom in the back four?

I'm pretty sure he said there were 9 men over thirty years of age.

Turns out they're the third oldest (but just barely). Hadn't heard anything about it, so I looked it up.

Full listing if anyone cares:
Ireland the oldest, Germany the youngest - the average age of every squad at Euro 2012 - Goal.com

Linky goodness earns a rep...

Sweden ties it up with a scrappy one...

Goals coming fast and furious now. Sweden takes the lead with a Mallberg header, but substitute Theo Walcott ties it up with a nice strike.

2-2

 

[blindbaby]

Damn, Swedish keeper looked Gustavssonesque on that second goal.

Walcott to Welback with a back heel and it's 3-2 England

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Big time collapse from Sweden after getting the second.

cheeky:

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Ugh, Sweden out already.

 

[dash]

Not the best quality match I've ever witnessed, but certainly entertaining...

 

[Dacks]

One of the more entertaining England match i've seen in a while

 

[RangersReds03]

They really do. When I lived in Stockholm, you never saw a woman go to the store in sweat pants or pajamas or a big fat chick with her gut hanging out from a tank top that's 5 sizes too small.

It was nice.

Is this what you're referring too? Could this be considered animal cruelty?

So long Russia - Czech Republic and Greece move on from Group A to the knockout stage after 1-0 wins in their respective games today.

 

[dash]

Still no nil-nil ties yet in the tourney (that's a good thing).

 

[Ties5o11]

How on earth does Russia not go through? After crushing the Czeck's in the first game I thought they were set to make a big run. Unlucky not to get ahead early today, but still they have nobody to blame but themselves.

 

[Ties5o11]

Also, congradts to Greece... but they are painful to watch. I am not talking about the defensive style (which I appreciate having played defense growing up), I am talking about the diving, whining, faking injuries, woah is me bullshit.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I feel bad for Russia. They played well in the first two games. I can't believe they lost to Greece.

Germany is now a lock to make the Semi-Finals.
