Hello there fellow Europeans. As you might know, there's some SERIOUS football going on. NOW I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING LIKE "FOOTBALL SUCKS", THIS IS A DISCUSSIONTHREAD FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THIS EVENT!
Here's the starting groups:

Group A
Portugal
Czech Republic
Switzerland
Turkey

Group B
Germany
Croatia
Austria
Poland

Group C
Netherlands
France
Romania
Italy

Group D
Spain
Greece
Sweden
Russia


The match between Sweden and Greece just ended with 2-0 for Sweden.

FUCK YEAH, GO SWEDEN!

Fuck yeah!!!

As an American (and proabably the only American here who gives a shit about Euro football) my vote is for Switzerland, even though they never even get close.

Also, Sweden beat Greece?! Noo! I was hoping that they'd pull off another fucking amazing win. That year was the biggest fucking surprise winner of all time.

Indeed. With Greece winning over Italy in the finals, it was only a matter of time before pigs started to fly and hang around in bars.

Edit:

Here's a thanks for being an American who actually gives a shit about euro football.

Fuck Russia Lost to spain.

Yahoo go Sweden ;)

Haha, yeah.


This year, I have nobody who I can really cheer for, because Scotland is out of the race. Cause I'm Scottish.

Underlining this.

Edit:

Grrr! Haven't seen many games yet but the Portugal v Turkey one was awesome.

Just noticed that "are" in the highlighted text isn't capitalized. Corrected that in the OP.


And yes, that Portugal and Turkey game was great. It was almost a perfect day, I sat there with a couple of friends with some beer and crisps.

I missed the Russia v Spain one.

Cool sport and all, just not very entertaining. I'm interested in who will win though.

Why do all of my American friends think that soccer sucks? Why can't I be a Brit? WHY?

You were cursed.

Just ignore them. Be content you saw the light. You took a tiny step towards rugby. :)

You're going to see some really good games in this championship so stay tuned.

I watched Greece-Sweden first half.



Epic greek redundant triangle is redundant and everyone starts yelling at you.

Yeh we kicked Italian ass.

YAY SWEDEN!

Mikfoz you should add a gambling poll where we vote the winning team.


Everyone who predicts wrong gets banned for a day.

Everyone who predicts right gets to see everyone else get banned for a day.

The Greek defenders were brutal. Ljungberg got squashed like trash in a trash compactor there.

I play rugby, and it's the greatest sport of all time. Well, soccer kinda trumps all, but it's close.

Most people think I'm lying when I say that I play rugby, because I'm 5'8" and I only weigh 110 lbs. But I'm faster than a flying fuck, and I can juke like fucking Barry Sanders. So it's all good.

Whenever I get tackled, though, I have about a 55% chance of breaking a bone. Which happens plenty more times than I'd like it to. :(

Smart...


No!

No, winners get to post in The Gold Ship for one post.

Somebody sponsor this guy so he can emigrate and come to his spiritual home...

Aye, I want to see a poll too!

Mikfoz, can you be cute and help me with this?

The match between The Netherlands and Italy was awesome.
Not only because we won, but it was an overall exciting match.

Serious football? Without England? Seriously don't make me laugh.

Edit:

I mean I FUCKING love football but without England I refuse to take this touranment seriously.

Not necessary to have that "ban" thing though. Just a simple poll so we can see the bets.

I'm planning on going to the University of Edinborough when I finally get out of high school.

And if I was to leave the country, I'd probably go to my hometown of Moffat, Scotland. No offense Brits, but us Scots are five times more badass.

Ok - poll added: nobody's going to get banned though.

Well, they do have to suit themselves for not qualifying. I too really wanted to see England this year, but sadly there's nothing we can do about it.

Edit:

Thanks Mikfoz

FUCK YEAH!

Thanks mikfoz!

Croatia!

Germany vs Poland was ace.
The Germans giving hitler salutes and the poles fighting with them :o
Then the swiss police take no shit.
Football violence is a bad problem but I've been in crowd brawls and they're pretty adrenaline rushing and epic (if you can fight/take a punch)

The Dutch played like a hurricane last monday. The Italians were simply blown away.

Edit: If possible, I'd like to see Netherlands - Portugal in the finals. We need to do over that horrible match from two years ago. 20+ yellow/red cards heh.

Man, Netherlands/Italy was crazy.
Even tho I'm French and totally support my team, I think Netherlands has a big chance to win this one.

I think the Italians just really underestimated the Dutch. I think everyone did, even the Dutch themselves.

:(

They missed their best two offensive players.

Also, Sweden beat Greece? Man this tournament is only days old and it's already full of surprises.

I totally didn't expect we'd win.
I mean, Italy has a great team plus it was world champion a few years ago.

The Netherlands won't win, they always underachieve, I mean I like them but they always fail at major touranments, I bit like England, but England generally get further I guess (Not this year anyway :()
Lol

England needs a Dutch coach.

You guys have awesome players, but your playstyle is so whacky. Long distance kicks never work out against a team that knows how to defend (read: everyone in big tournaments).

RUSSIA!

On paper we have the best team in the world.
As the saying goes
"Games not played on paper."

I think Portugal, but I watched the Spain - Russia match and Spain played well.

ZLatans goall was pretty neat

*crossed arms*

Czech Republic v. Portugal tomorrow, taking place in Geneva.

I think it will end 2-1 favouring Portugal.

Yeah, Portugal is prolly gonna win.

Except that one time when we (Amerifags) beat the damn Portuguese in a 3-2 mega-upset in the 2000 World Cup.

The only reason why I will probably ever be proud of my country.

I voted for sweden even though I don't live in sweden nor am I swedish

I voted for Sweden cause you posted that

I went to Portugal on holiday...

You have any more of this or what? :uhoh:

PORTUGALLLLLLLLLLLLL

Our economy is in shambles crime is rising and our education and healthcare are governed by idiots but SHIT is football one of the things we're good at.

I vote for the united states. they are going to win

Poland.

I like soccer more than any other sport. Besides hockey. But then again, it's probably the only sport I'm remotely good at.

American who loves football-Five!

USA USA USA!!!!! o wait..

Yeah, the portuguese government has some real douche bags, the rising gas prices that for some reason is cheaper in Spain and all those hospitals closing down operation rooms and such, also not to forget the hell that are our roads, specially during events like this, there's gonna be alot of drunk retards on the roads.

Football is really the only thing we can be proud of.

The Netherlands shall prevail.

For the motherland!

So who's playing tomorrow?
(The 11th or rd I don't know your weird English date thing)

Englands gonna win! Oh no wait ...

Steve Mcdonut fucked that up for us :(

Anywho i put a tenner on holand to win the tourny and Closar (spelling?) as the top goal scorer and as of right now after the shit he did the other day it looks unlikely lol.

Sverige!!!!

This
:)

I'd say Sweden isn't going to win...

They are probably first in the poll because there's a lot of Swedes around facepunch

But Sweden is going to get a nice place for sure

Same, that's why Sweden is winning.

Germany represent!



Seriously, we totally wooped Polish ass!! :D

I would love if France or spain win. Spain amuse me since they have by far one of the greatest teams and you can see that just by the match with russia. cape devilla, cesc fabregas, casillas as a goalie ,torres. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO WIN?

Go Portugal! Beat the crap out of Czech Republic! :excited:

Also, Spain owned Russia so badly... Haha.


Viva Portugal!



:D

We're off to a good start however. We've beaten Italy with 3-0. Defeating the world champion in your first match with such a good score could be a very good omen. And we did win the Euro Cup 20 years ago in 1988. Maybe it's that time again?

YEEEEEEEEEEAH! Mother fuckin' lesbian tits!

Edit:

Changed my mind.. mostly because I like ass, but.. I am like.. 30% Portuguese.

Actually I think that Germany will win.

Huzzah, I'm about 25% Portugese and I have a Portugese passport so I'm all out for Portugal, plus I find their women to be alot hotter

The Netherlands whooped the World Champions ass two days ago.

I think I made my point.

Christ her ass is larger than her face.

Don't complain. I'm not - and neither should you.

That's a good thing.

I'm more of a hockey guy, but I've got my lots of Swedish friends, plus, you know, two Swedish chicks, in bikinis, pokey nipples, kissing...

That's pretty much blackmailing you to GO SWEDEN.

Sweden!

Sweden! They rock!

Go Greece! To bad they lost against Sweeden, but i believe they can win!
Next match, Greece vs Russia, then Greece vs Spain!

Looking forwards for it.

Netherlands > All

I think the three that have most chance of winning are:

Germany, Spain and Holland.

Of those, I favour Germany.

EDIT :

Fuck off spelling, it IS "favour" not stupid "favor" , too lazy to put in a "u"

The Dutch are playing surprisingly good.

Damn! I thought Greece would win! I mean they were spartans!

Also, sometimes you could see some hot chicks on camera. Your eyes must be sharp!
