Offical Euro 2008 Thread.

[whythelongface]

Who win win it? Hopefully the Dutch but I will say Portugal
Who will be the player of the tournament? Ronaldo
Who will be the surprise packet? Croatia
Who will be the disapointment? Italy
Who will top the goal scoring? Milan Baros
And what are you looking forward to seeing? Seeing the Dutch dominate. It has been 20 years since their one and only major tournament win. Seeing the Germans getting knocked out in the group stage or the qtrs.

I can't believe that the Germans are favourites. IMHO they are overrated.

Watching the first match instead of Aus-Iraq?

This tournament sucks without Alan Smith.

Seeing Smith v Boumsong would've been worth chopping my dick off for.

Home to watch Australia get thrashed by a superior Iraq side (unfortunately). I will though keep an eye on what's happening in that tournament without England.

 

[Waite_30]

Let's go Turkey!

 

[PendlePie]

What time is the first game, and on what station?

Apologies if this has already been said

 

[Bradesmaen]

2am kickoff on SBS after the opening ceremony.

Watching the first match instead of Aus-Iraq?

Well I don't have pay TV so what else can I do?

 

[DB10]

Two things:

1) I have yet to see an opening ceremony that wasn't GAY
2) This tournament is going to be very dull and forgettable (as they all tend to be), and my only interest is the money I have on France who were at 9-1

c'mon guys, what do we have this thread for if not for games like this??

okay, first game...first tragic...switzerland captain Alexander Frei is out - injured. pretty bad for him & switzerland
and still 0:0.

but will be quite easy for czech to win now - hopefully we gonna see lotsa goals.

i admit the time is not the best to watch for oZ but for europeans it's quite good times (6 pm and 7.45 pm).

yeah although i want our german team to win i also fear that we're a little overrated and if we dropout before the half final i reckon we'd be pretty disapointed...

ps. i dont care about afl & rugby loving aussie blokes thinking football/soccer is gay. i think rugby is gay too (not afl ) but i dont jump in every rugby thread and tell them how gay this sport is !!
so guys if you dont like it just stay outta here, cheers!

now lets get into the 2nd half time...

 

[DonMania#5]

Czech Republic win 1-0 with a goal to substitute Sverkos.

 

[angie4]

yep. switzerland had damn much chances...and damn much bad luck.
interesting game though. boy they were fighting.

lucky czech.

okay 'ere we go: 2nd game !!!

turkey ves. portugal

this thread is just a big joke really.

50% of respondents are just picking the best player from their favourite team as the tournaments best player and doing the same with everything else.

couldn't be objective anytime soon, could you folks?

ROFL ROFL ROFL...

Just because your favourite changes every 5 minutes...

Czechs win, everyone that said Frei was going to bag a hatful this tournament is in deep shit...

 

[angie4]

first half - 0:0 ronaldo not lucky yet

 

[angie4]

turkey - portugal
0:2 (pepe, meireles) nice game

 

[jefffff34]

Well I'd be happy to pick the team with a West Ham player but unfortunately we don't have any .

You've forgotten Freddie.

I had $10 on him for the golden boot. I've already ripped up the ticket. Thank goodness it was only a tenner.

 

[davey_magik]

You've forgotten Freddie.

So far my tips for Euro are 1/2, had Switzerland to win last night but also had Frei (Poor guy ) not to score for the whole tournament.

I told you that was a waste of money.

What he said, though it didnt stop me watching the first half of the Turkey vs Portugal game...

Games tonight arent nearly as exciting as the ones yesterday. However after exams it could be San Marino vs Luxembourg for all I care, if watch...

Ditto, i hate exams.

Judging by the highlights, he was good for a goal in that game. Switzerland may now struggle to score a goal let alone qualify now.

Oh, and SBS, any danger of giving us more than 15 minutes of highlights in a 60 minute program?
