OT: euro 2012 tournament thread

That's the sad part. They are there right on the goal lines getting in the way all tournament until you need them and they still cannot make the correct call.

I guess that is just part of the game.

errant shots keep hitting the overhanging camera crane arms behind the net ... someone needs to take the official out with a low screamer

 

[jstewismybastardson]

John Terry is obviously sleeping with the goal line official

 

[jstewismybastardson]

england and france go through

Ugh. Fucking hate France. They'll be ousted in their QF match.

Sami Nasri got injured so he looks like he'll miss next game ... theyre going out

Is this a makeup call for the goal England scored against Germany at World Cup 2010?

 

[Dacks]

Over the line, but by inches. Humans can't make the correct call on a play like that at that speed.

But that just shows you how worthless the goalline officials are. The one time you really need them (a very close call) and they can't humanly make it. Although I do think they would have called the England goal against Germany two years ago.

Germany hasn't trailed in any #Euro2012 matches

/and they never trailed in any of the 10 euro2012 qualifying games either

I will say jstew hit the nail on the head earlier, yeah the Italians are bad (or is it good) at embellishing, but I think the Portuguese have earned the gold medal in this tourney.

i thought the porkandcheese have been fairly low key in the tournie compared to the qualifying but today is a big game ... lose and youre done

and because its means so much (as they were kicking it around on the radio), they are gonna be at their best when it comes to simulation today

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i just had to check if their was a prop bet offered for "yes or no - Portugal penalty kick during 90 min plus injury time"

nada (as in not available - lol)

Portugal's Postiga pulls posterior ligament, painfully pulled from pitch...

 

[SLY]

Who is dominating? Or is it pretty even?

 

[evolver115]

Nani for Portugal has no shame. He dives with the best of 'em. Still the hardest part of watching soccer for me is the drama these guys display when they 'fall' down.

 

[evolver115]

Rinaldo had some nice opportunities so far. (hit the post right before the half)


Pretty even, I'd say

 

[SLY]

C'mon Czechs!

 

[evolver115]

C'mon Czechs!

right with ya on that. I want to hear the Messi chants again when Rinaldo walks off the pitch in defeat
