I seen that there is a football thread, but felt that a big tournament like Euro 2012 deserved it's own thread. So here it is!

I was really impressed by the Russians. The Czech Republic are no slouches, but Russia just seemed to have too much for them to cope with. They should definitely top their group. The Poland v Greece match was very exciting, even though controversy played a large part in that. I dunno what the referee was thinking, as both of the yellow cards which led to Papastathopoulos' sending off weren't even fouls, let alone yellow cards! The Greeks showed such spirit in the 2nd half to come back with 10 men, and I felt they deserved to win it, shame they only got a draw...

Can't wait for the 2 games today, they should both be great!

Well, England dominated the game for about the first 20 minutes - we looked so good - but as usual they couldn't keep it going.


That is true, though I think the difference in the end was Pirlo. And I was disappointed that Steven Gerrard wasn't able to have a similar impact on the game with his quality. Pirlo was dictating the play with his movement and his passing, and I don't think we did enough to shackle him. Honestly, I don't think Italy are that much better than us, we just didn't really perform as well as we can, the first 20/25 minutes aside. Though in this game, we were lucky it went to penalties, because the Italians missed so many chances to win the game before it came to that. I definitely don't think Italy can afford to squander that many chances against Germany and go through.

I'm sorry, but it is true. If a majority of SPL clubs reject Rangers' attempt to re-enter the SPL, (which is a very real possibility) then they'll be relegated to division 3.

Now, I hope it's Germany and Spain in the final, and that Germany beat them.

Yep, sounds about right

You did, soothsayer bad english odds on penalties were still good, did you put money on it? Best team won, England were a good team when the game was more physical, when you could basically hurt someone without getting a red card. Supporting Germany, they dont roll around on the floor as much as if theyve been shot or technically foul as much as the others left.

I said right at the start of the tournament that you can never count the Italians out, and they definitely can win the tournament, though I don't think they will. If they make it past Germany, I will be supporting them in the final though!

My sweepstake money says it wants Italy to win the tournament now, but Germany have always been my second team to support - so we'll see how things go. At least there will be no more stress watching England try to squeeze through another round.

One for the lawyers. Its still all up in the air about whats going to happen, sponsors, contracts been signed and what not, plus they owe a shit load of tax. Been talk of the fans taking it over, to changing the clubs name an starting again, all sorts. As Gers were a biggish club an without then SPL as a whole will lose alot of money.

Alot of SPL resent the fact that alot of titles an cups theyve won, were won with players an money they didnt really have. Its seen as been the equal of a drugs cheat like Lance Armstrong taking drugs.

Hmmmm......Italy - Germany in semi-final....i personally waned to watch that machup in final but what a hell...i can't decide who to cheer for cuz both teams are great....i wanted Germany to win it at the start, but when i saw Italy against Spain i was well surprised...they were nothing what i expected they'll be...of course Pirlo is the main reason, without him it would've been a whole different story, they would be home by now....still dont know both teams are good but i give a slightly advantage to Germany...

I am guessing you have never been to Spain. Spain is agreat country to go to for holidays (especially cities such as Barcelona and Madrid) much more fun than boring Sweden or Italy where your bags will be stolen as well as your phot camera

Spain are not showing some great football this EC....don't think they're going to win it...i mean they'll probably pass Portugal but not Germany or Italy (they pretty much sucked against them in group stage) in final....:D

Well, on one hand I could agree and say that Greece were fortunate to do what they did in 2004 and it wasn't deserved, etc. etc... - but on the other hand the only thing that matters in football are the goals... Greece might not have been "great" to watch, but they were "great" at playing the game their own way - taking the chances they got and defending well when they had to. If the Czechs and Portuguese couldn't get goals past them in the semi-final and final, that's their own fault. Greece might not have been "great" to watch, but they know how to play the game and get results.

The Greek way of playing is comparable to campers: they might get the kills, but nobody likes them.

Btw, that retort was not meant to imply that Spain would suck this tournament. They don't. And I'm positive they'll march through to the finals.

Absolutely. The only game that Spain completely dominated was the one against the Irish, but they've still looked decent in all their other games. Although they did ride their luck against Croatia. I have a hunch that Spain might win it again, though I hope Germany win it instead!

As most people my money is on Spain and Germany in the final, as I thought before the tournament. But I'd actually rather see Portugal (even though I hate Ronaldo) and Italy there. But in the end I really don't care as long as we get to watch some nice football being played.

I know! There seems to be a sudden dislike for them. I have always been a Spain supporter, but I was also rooting for the Danish and the Swedes.

Ronaldo played a brilliant game against CZE, hands down, but you can't beat Spain with only one great player. Just ask Ribéry. But in the end I'm with Warman: as long as we get to see some nice football, I don't care who wins. And if you look at the current state of the European economy, I'd rather grant Portugal, Spain and Italy an euphoria-induced boost in purchasing power
