OT: euro 2012 tournament thread

[jstewismybastardson]

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.

yup he's one the best (or worst) divers ... also Pepe ... who can probably also be labelled one of the dirtiest/cheapest players in the world

 

[jstewismybastardson]

classic Pepe

The guy who has impressed me on the Czech Republic throughout the tourney is Gabre Selassie (sp?), a defender who isn't shy about joining the attack.

rolling around like he was shot


Still a dick move by Pepe

he's the guy i posted an article about before the tourney started which stated many Czechs didnt want him on the team because he's of African descent

if anything were to cause someone to roll around like that it would be getting raked in the back by studs by a guy using enough force to kick a ball out of the stadium

Yeah, I'm sure it was painful.

It just seems like 9 times out of 10 the 'pain' they writhe on the grass with is over the top. Especially when seconds later they're back on their feet and hauling ass down the field.

I'm sure that hurt. Worthy of a card

 

[evolver115]

Unlucky offsides there for Portugal. Could've been 1-nil

 

[evolver115]

Ok, now that had to hurt. Kadlec(sp?) took the brunt of that collision.

 

[evolver115]

damn

1-0 Portugal from Ronaldo

 

[SLY]

Dirty flopping bastard.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Mooger and Indian Chief will like that result ... only 2 in the pool having the porkandcheese as semifinalists

 

[evolver115]

Was a great match to watch. The Czech Rep. seemed to run out of gas at the half. Portugal smelled the blood in the water in the 2nd. Was just a matter of time.

Can't wait for tomorrow

Mooger started slow, but has rebounded very well. I on the other hand continue to fade.

 

[Dacks]

Detest him, but I have to say, Ronaldo has looked stellar in his last two matches. Could have had four or five goals.

Chinese soccer fan dies after 11 all-nighters

A die-hard Chinese fan of England's soccer team died at home in Changsha, Central China's Hunan province, on June 19, 2012, after 11 nights of watching games, since the start of Euro 2012.

The 26-year-old man was healthy and fit, and was the main force on his college soccer team. He continued to play after graduation.

The man watched the match between Italy and Ireland, and drank a lot of beer with his friends in a bar until 5 a.m. on June 19, before he returned home to sleep, from which he never woke up. His mother found him on the bed when she tried waking him up for an evening meal on June 20.

Dr Liu Zhiling said multiple factors led to the man's death, including prolonged sleep deprivation, massive amounts of beer, a bath after drinking as well as a low indoor temperature. Cause of death was low blood sugar and slow blood circulation.
