OT: euro 2012 tournament thread

I wonder how our good friend maddog is faring this morning...

That was very cheeky by Pirlo yesterday - Imagine if Hart just stays in the middle and it's an easy catch.

I'd have taken it off the thigh or chest and started juggling the ball.

probably the best goal ever.

and for those who think the crowded, talented german midfield can stifle Pirlo

v england:

Pirlo ran 15.2 kms - attempted 133 passes - 19 more than England's 4 starting midfielders. He completed the same amount as they attempted - 114.

That game for Pirlo was the definition of a holding midfielder. Exceptional.

not really ... Marchisio/De rossi is the holder in the diamond ... Pirlo lays deep/withdrawn but he attacks and sets plays up ... created 6 scoring chances and ran all day ... ran rooney ragged ... at one point Joe hart was yelling at Rooney to pick it up and backtrack and defend Pirlos sprints up field

Really? Could have sworn he was the deep man in the diamond. Man he tracks back well. Guess that's why he ran so fucking much. haha

they all roam and like i said Pirlo does play deep but by no means is he defense first ... DeRossi has been a revelation playing such a defensive position ... at times he looks like the sweeper

I'm not overly surprised, considering how huge a chunk of Canadian heritage comes from those countries.
