The official EURO2008-thread
i bet :
ROMANIA 1-2 FRANCE or ROMANIA 1-1 FRANCE
HOLLAND 1-3 ITALY or HOLLAND 1-2 ITALY
Well if we want to go down that road several of the polish stars dosen't even know polish. I guess it's nothing unique for any country in any sport nowadays.
True. You'd be hard pressed to find a national team that doesn't have at least one player that's not '100%' from that country. Multi-nationality is a fact everyone has to face, and there is nothing bad in having people who aren't from that country per se, but identify themselves with it, in the national team.
And this Poland beat Poland thing is pure bs, no offense. I understand the frustration as well as any other Polish person here, but come on, show a little sportsmanship and stop whining like idiots. We lost fair and square, Germany was simply the better team, that's all.
To be honest, i prefer to see my national team get out-played by a top class team (and Germany is a top class team, and one of the main favourites for the cup) after a decent match, then see it lose after being the dominant and better side throughout most of it (vide Switzerland and Austria games).
About today games - funny how everyone is not appreciating the strenght Romanian team has. Everyone looks at the matches through the prism of previous achievements and not the current state of affairs, and the state of affairs is that, France and Italy struggled to get to the finals in their qualifying groups, showed they lack consistent form (except for a handful of players), and Netherlands were second in their qualifying group only to... Romania. Imo Romanians have at least as much chances to leave the group as every other team there. Too bad about the draw, either way we'll have to say goodbye to 2 very good teams.
If Romanians will not suddenly fall apart, they're gonna take today's game. Italy v Netherlands is one big mystery to me, i don't dare guess the result.
great day of footbal today:D wooho
it's ok for podolski, i dont see any problem
look france team = african team
at least you got Ribery and Henry, two amazing players ']
I bet that French will beat Ro, Italy will lose by Netherlands, Spain will beat Russia and Sweden will beat Greek. IF that happen i'll get money again
@ ALL THE FRENCH SISSY FANBOIS HERE: WHAT DO YOU SAY NOW EH EH EH?!
Ok, *takes a deep breath* Let's have a look at the game.
Yes it was an UGLY game, ugliest so far maybe, because both sides played it very tactical and both were scared of eachother. Romania coming as underdogs played the defensive/counter-attack card and OMG WHAT A DEFENSE WE HAD!!111. The French took their time to find some confidence and start pushing a little, but they were anemic in front of the goal, they lacked confidence since our defenders mostly totally annihilated them.
We didnt deserve the win, but neither did France. Draw and fair game even if the "show" was not present, but i couldn't care less since WE DID NOT LOOSE!!!. WELL DONE LADS AND KEEP IT UP! ITALY U'RE NEXT.
Oh and just a little remark about that biased referee. I felt exactly like the croatians did earlier. Maybe he didnt make such a huge mistake (the not given red card) BUT he made like A LOT more small mistakes that ALWAYS favoured France. Like we were not given 3 corners, once even when the sideline ref had signaled it, then France was not given 2 yellow cards for some killer tackles (and the one yellow they had could have been a red since it was a killer tackle from behind, but ok whatever) and we have also been thrown like 2 free yellow cards with a lot of ease.
MEJUTO GONZALEZ YOU BETTER CROSS THE STREET IF YOU SEE ME PUTO!!

BEWARE it isn't finished yet. We just need to play with more courage and attack more and I'm sure we can do some bigger surprises vs Italy and Holland.
oh and ps. thx for the link Mircwar!
sure fuck .. always when i wanted to win romania or bet on them they fucked me up but now when i bet the 1st time on the opponent they did a draw.. tho dunno was a bit confused.. cause during the game ofc i was with ro but dunno wanted france to win tho anyway we rock fuck the money, enjoy the game and yep was kinda ugly i mean @ first 45min ..
cause during the game ofc i was with ro but dunno wanted france to win tho
Kraster you should be hanged by your money digging balls U're more french than romanian to me now.
absolutely not. i expected an early and deserved 1:0 for france, leading to an offensive gameplay by RO which results in a 2:0 through a counter. after that RO scores their very deserved 2:1 and the following very offensive gameplay leads to another counter goal - 3:1.
i did expect it to be close, but my guess was that france would be lucky enough to score 2 goals more than RO.
w/e IMO the game was not that good. france did simply not have any idea about what to do with the ball. good defensive gameplay by RO too.
I wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every penguin that didnt wanna screw to save its species.
