Thanks Lowie.

Germany will send Portugal out of Euro, just you watch.

Hopefully.

I have Germany to make the semi-finals in my super long range multi bet so they'd better get the job done.

Well played sir.

As for Euro betting, I started with a huge run of outs so I decided to stop altogether. Although I gotta funny feeling about France doing well tonight.

Alright, I've made the donation. $2000....

(edit - ignore link. obviously they won't let someone link a financial transaction. you'd want to hope not. even though there were no financial/personal details on step 3. ignore the link)

Hopefully

can have an excellent game against sweden.

Surprised to see Saganowski start for Poland and set up the goal for Guerreiro. He's made a real impact for them in both games.

Rudi Skacel is the only other Saints player in the tournament and I wouldn't expect him to get any game time.

Tonight:

Netherlands 2 - 0

Italy 2 - 0

Surprised no-one else has brought it up but it was an extremely brave decision by Howard Webb to give that penalty.

You can doubt it all you want, but it was there and it took some balls to pluck that out in the 93rd minute.

Kudos

@ fantastic crowds: i'm just amazed how much my thoughts are expressed by your words. everything you said

btw i know that they re called referees but geez i m only an original kraut and i'm proud of myself how many football words i already learned in here...so plz be lenient towards me

e.g.

Just watching the Austria-Poland game now.

I haven't seen a team dominate so much in the first 20 minutes and not score.

Apart from me on my FM game anyway

haha. whats FM? first match?

yep, but cmon the 1st goal was an offside goal, so this was just fair.

Came on here to say exactly that - too often that sort of stuff is overlooked in the box. Beenhakker's comments were quite childish.

Absolute stonewaller IMO.

Is Angie the first chick to post with some form of regularity on the football board? Seems to be in my time.

Italy's starting X1. 5 changes and formation change and del piero takes over the arm band.

Italy Team (4-2-3-1): Buffon; Zambrotta, Panucci, Chiellini, Grosso; Pirlo, De Rossi; Perrotta, Del Piero, Camoranesi; Toni

 

[angie4]

goal for italy but ref blows the whistle saying it's offside...it was not. not correct decision.

1st half
italy - romania
0 - 0

italy much better than last game. romania not as defensive as last time. both sides with good chances. good game!
misfortune for the italians that last minute in additional time (ref)

 

[DonMania#5]

Toni, very unlucky. Should have scored atleast two and that offside decision was disgraceful.

Need him to fire in the second half, got him captain in fantasy lol
