Euro 2008

[Alfista]

I'm starting to think you say rubbish like this purposely just to start fights on the internet. His feet weren't touched, what he fell over because the mighty Chielini's feet created a gust of wind 2 metres away? He got the ball (Villa), moved it back and fell over because he saw the opportunity. The ****** deserved the yellow.

:s

do you even know which position i am talking about?

[LTD]

Lousy game thanks to a sub-par, lazy Italian team.

Team Italy strategy (time-tested):

Bore everyone to death by sustained defensive play, sit back and wait for penalty shots.

Except it doesn't always work against teams that are always on the attack, play with heart, and actually make an effort.

[MrChainsaw]

Well there isn't anymore matches until the 25th. And I'll be away in Russia to watch the rest of it! See you all!

[Martyn]

and when did liverpool ever played in a game with 14 people.. 11 starting and 3 subs with 1 being a goalkeeper in 1 game?

at a semi final?

where liverpool could promote young players to play in the competition but turkey can not invite more players?

Suspensions are there for a reason, to promote dicipline. Is it our fault that your players keep on picking up needless yellow cards? Is it out fault your keeper idiotically lashed out at an opposition player late on in a game?

Suck it up and deal with the consequences.

Match with Germany will either end in a huge defeat for us or we will win on penalties or by only a narrow difference.

Next Game I think is Wednesday

[Kerm]

Dude chill out.

Germany are looking pretty strong, but i'm gutted Holland are out to be honest, they looked the most exciting team in the tournament.

Wonder what the odds on Russia winning were at the beginning.

There's more conspiracy theories in the last 4 pages than the US government has.

Can we get over this conspiracy thing? The referee's mother was Croatian, Turkey beat Croatia thanks to the ref and everyone moves on.

Now its time for the semis.

[Martyn]

This is giving the 2006 World Cup thread a run for its money, and I know me and L3thal definitely remember that.

Anyway, another interesting point, Turkey has been in the lead of a game for only two minutes in the whole of Euro 2008. Deserved semi finalists ;)?

How can I forget? :p

Turkey has spent more minutes making substitutions than being in the lead all tournament. Shows how "dominant" they are in this tourney. Having said that, I am rooting for Turkey against Germany because the Germans beat Portugal (bastards :p)

[Deletedforeverhaha]

I hope Germany wins the Euro 2008 and Spain thrashes Russia in the semifinals (in spite for defeating my team: Holland).

The truth is out there :shiftyninja: .

Scirwode

:ninja: Politics ruin athletic competitions, especially conspiracy theorists.

its a nice statistic to have, but i dont see it as being a weak point. To me one could infer that the team takes some time to settle down, and despite the odds are able to overcome it for a win.

we did not deserve to be in the semi finals.

Wehey! At last we have a mutual agreement.

[Y2Stu]

100 butterflies in your room... WTF

100 butterflies in your room... WTF

I thought wtf at that comment as well :unsure:

[L3thal Veteran]

No, Marty. The ref's house was built by a Portuguese so he made sure Portugal won the game.

Oh, and it was also a conspiracy that Portugal's 3 balls to the woodwork did not go in. Can you imagine a 5-0 victory over Turkey? Impossible, because Turkey are so good.

[portauthority]

Turkey has no shot in hell. Germany will win.

[Alfista]

Turkey has no shot in hell. Germany will win.

unfortunately i agree :(

[.Markus]

haven't really seen more than 3-4 matches all tournament due to crazy busy at work atm... I have to say though this is one heck of a funny thread to read..

Some people really need to cool down a touch and oouzza y'know...

[L3thal Veteran]

unfortunately i agree :(

If it makes you feel better, I am going for Turkey against Germany and this is probably the only time too, unless they make it against Spain, in which I will go for Turkey as well.

[Deletedforeverhaha]

:no: tsh tsh tsh... what a sore loser! :p

Hehe... I can't help it since I passionately supported Holland this time. ;)

[L3thal Veteran]

international football is more precious than club football because World Cup and Euro Cup are the most importand 2 championships in the world, after them comes Champions League.

We finally agree with each other :p

[sanctified Veteran]

There. It was too hard to talk like mature people in this thread?

[rajputwarrior]

i can't wait until turks get knocked out
