Euro 2024

[Monte]

We want to win the group so we get one of the 3rd placed teams.

 

[Rebelda]

Yeah that ^ We play Germany first round if we come second.

 

[two sheds]

ooh it's tonight

 

[magneze]

Not sure if I can be bothered. Already through. No jeopardy.

 

[Wilf]

Go on Southgate, drop Kane. I know he scores goals or summat, but I prefer to see people running round a bit.

 

[ska invita]

Can Poland still qualify? I thought they are out but saw something suggesting they still have a chance??

Nope...

 

[surreybrowncap]

Think Poland were the first to be eliminated from the tournament..?

 

[ska invita]

Think Poland were the first to be eliminated from the tournament..?

yeah thats what i thought..... the BBC listing says "Poland, meanwhile, are looking to qualify from the group stage of the Euros for just a second time and will be keen to improve on their poor showing in 2021 when they collected just one point from their three matches. "

 

[Lord Camomile]

I know they're often successful, but fuck me I hate those stuttering run ups.

Why bother taking a run up at all, if you're essentially going to kick it from a standing position anyway.

 

[Maggot]

Netherlands V Austria is a cracking game.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Netherlands V Austria is a cracking game.

Was about to say, bloody hell did I pick the wrong game to watch!

 

[ruffneck23]

Glad i decided to watch the the ned vs aus game, cracking

 

[tommers]

Quite good seeing France play like us too.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Glad i decided to watch the the ned ,vs aus game, cracking"

That's you, that is.

they should be banned, very unsporting-.... missing a pen is fair enough but piss around on top and you look like an idiot

Netherlands V Austria is a cracking game.

I wonder how good Austria really are? Contenders? I havent seen them play

Oh, maybe

...looking like that might be the Dutch :wow:

 

[ruffneck23]

Anyway , good game

 

[planetgeli]

Deserved. Great game.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wow. Fair play Austria. Practically a group of death, and they've bloody topped it!

 

[Rebelda]

...looking like that might be the Dutch :wow:

Came here to say this, with a little extra ffs on the side.

Has your almost-limitless love for Gareth faded yet, given the poor stuff that's been served up so far and a seemingly-pathological inability for him to make bold decisions?

 

[pbsmooth]

That Poland penalty shouldn’t be allowed. He is trying to fool the keeper and yet when it works, and the keeper moves, he gets to retake it! Ridiculous.

 

[Monte]

...looking like that might be the Dutch :wow:

Can't believe this NL side is ranked 7 in the world!
Above Spain, Croatia and Italy.
FIFA rankings really are garbage.

I'll still think he's lovely when he steps down, but I'm a bit annoyed with him. I don't think he wants to be manager any more and has made some bad/odd decisions because his head/heart isn't in it any more. I reckon it was all in the waistcoat

Tonight is a great opportunity to have a look at Portugal's second 10 plus Ronaldo

Is he only in cos he'll throw the most epic wobbler you've ever seen if they drop him?

 

[Elpenor]

Or does he want to score in another tournament as don’t think he’s got one yet ?

 

[Rebelda]

I'm going to Portugal on Friday and will be there for all the knock out games apart from the final. Have been instructed to keep my 'all I want is to see Ronaldo cry' sentiments to myself for the duration
