Ok, so seeing as bboozer mentioned the Euros in another topic, I thought I'd throw in my prediction:
Spain to win against Netherlands in the final.
Much as I want England to do well, I think they will finish runners up in group D and then lose to Spain in the quarter final. And Roy Hodgeson will be hugely criticised by the tabloids regardless of how England perform...

Re: Euro 2012
Going on every tournament in living memory England will play shit in every game, looking like no one actually wants to win or even be there. There will be one talented but inexperienced player who tries his hardest to win and will get some plaudits from the commentary, but unfortunately his fire will be forever extinguished by the experience and will never again rise up above the overpaid dim-witted mentality that is the England dressing room. The manager will refuse to make changes and stubbornly stick to his game plan even when it's obviously not working and everyone at home, in the stadium, and on the TV is calling for his head, and openly calling him a "cunt" and telling him to "fuck off forever".
I'd put money on it.

Re: Euro 2012
Bringing this to the right thread. They all but demolished Czech republic. The Netherlands, well I'm sorry but I kind of expected that loss to Denmark, so now they'll have to beat Germany and Portugal, well, good luck. Spain of course have a great team, but they only got away with a draw against Italy, and it could have been worse. No, I stick to my Russia predection. Or Germany. Now that I come to think of it, all these euro matches are linked to old and real battles fought.kowalski wrote:Yep, Russia are a bit of a wild card, but I can't see them winning it...BBoozer wrote:Russia will win the euro's. Just sayin'. You won't like it, but it's the hard truth.

Come on, Deutschland.
Re: Euro 2012
Heh, I'm starting to revise my original opinion on The Netherlands. I think England were fortunate to draw this evening, but probably the hardest group game is out of the way.BBoozer wrote:Bringing this to the right thread. They all but demolished Czech republic.

Re: Euro 2012
Tonight, at 20:45 CET, beer will be cold and at hand in my living room, and me and my wife will be watching 11 dutch guys trying to beat the germans in a dead or alive game. If the dutch don't win, the Netherlands will be in mourning, if they do win, they'll be the self-proclaimed next euro champs, allthough they'd still have to beat the portuguese. I will support the dutch to give the german team a proper beating, but I doubt it will happen.
Re: Euro 2012
Well, it's a good job I didn't put any money on Russia! Looking forward to the games tonight, I think I'm going to go for Netherlands to beat Portugal, and Germany to beat Denmark...

Re: Euro 2012
I don't know too much about soccer and the "art" of playing it (usual critique from soccer nuts being "if you understood the game, it would be exciting to you").
However, liking hockey and being a Flyers fan, I could relate to the fact that the Irish were spending too much time letting the other teams play pass-around in their own zone and then making boneheaded screens on their own goal keep.
I'm still gonna check out today's game just because a "pointless" victory against the Eye-ties will give me lots of ammo for razzing my meatball friends.
And I appreciate the bold gesture the team is making to remember the tragic massacre that occurred last time Ireland vs. Italy occurred.

Re: Euro 2012
Ok, so I am working my way through a very nice bottle of 2005 Carta Roja. In store for the game tonight I have a bunch of Red Stripe and some Bacardi and ginger beer (and some limes) plus whatever my friends turn up with.
Whether we beat Italy or not, I will get drunk...
