Euros

[Ted Hughes]

There was a Russian journo on Talkshite yesterday & he was a real arrogant, propaganda spouting , prick; was claiming the trouble was caused by people pretending to be Russians, taking the piss about the likelihood of Ukraine going out & saying how happy the Russians would be to see them fail.

Ha.

Greece are so gash that I've actually lost ribs at their getting through to the last 8. They have no sense when it comes to attacking, defending or keeping possession of the ball. They really are fucking useless.

That describes half of the England squad!

They have got Gorgeous though, it's not all bad.

For me they beat Italy 20 years ago when cathanachio was in full blow but at list they always have sombody in front to make some magic Greece is just awful to watch , acept that goal by misteke of Russia they didnt do three nice pass , awful , common Germany Checz deserve to go they play two good games even do they will go out to by Portugal or Denmark.

And yet they've qualified for the next round.

A nice reminder that football is a team game not some media-driven beauty contest.

They have actually been a shit team as well though.

Fair enough - but as a mate of mine says "pig bladder in onion bag wins"

The term shite and useless are getting thrown a lot these days. Remember, there has to be a word left to describe the Swedish division one, Allsvenskan, and it is a lot worse than the Greek and the Czeck teams put together.

[PeterParker]

I am not a fan of the greeks, but i think they really deserve to go ahead, after the ref decisions they had in the first two games and even last night.
All in all, that group was a joke from the start, made for Poland to win it, same as the groups the swiss and austrians had in 2008.

They actually scored less goals than Russia too ;)

:)Yeah, they bean shit in every way just lucky to get in that group and then lucky to win like that , but they go i m just afraid that they can have again some crazy luck to score and again watch awful bus game with no counteratack nothing just plane defending

[one man army]

looking forward to watching both games tonight.
as for 'polish' team (i do not support them because there are 4 foreign players in the squad) there are goal.com ratings which i pretty much agree with. would only swap piszczek and błaszczykowski

Tytoń - 3
Boenisch - 2
Wasilewski - 1.5
Perquis - 2.5
Piszczek - 1.5
Dudka - 1.5
Polanski - 2.5
Obraniak - 1.5
Murawski - 1
Błaszczykowski - 1
Lewandowski - 2

i am too tired of yesterdays rants so i only want to say i'm sorry you had to watch this miserable failure from that bunch.
but i hope you enjoy euro and see that poland is now really better place than it used to be for western europe and rest of the world (you've seen embarrassing polish-russian provocations, true but overall everyone, especially irish, enjoy the experience). ukraine is still sad as fuck... absolutely great nation but still suffer from such bastard rulers and governments so apathy is still visible.

I agree, they hit the post and had a clear penalty waived by the ref but I still don't understand why UEFA apply this head to head rule.
If it was the World Cup, Russia would have topped the group !!!
Gorgous did well IMO.

I think the head to head rule makes sense. We might as well call it "Who'll rack up the most goals v the Irish" otherwise. Seriously, goal difference is pointless in a 3 game group. Greece won against Russia ffs. They deserve 2nd place over them. Simple. If that were a knock out game, you wouldn't wave through Russia for their prettier football or such nonsense.

I'm a bit sceptical about this rule because football is about scoring goals. That's how we're entertained. Which match was more enjoyable to watch. Spain v Ireland or Greece v Russia ?
What if this rule had been applied to the EPL, would we be champions now. Oh wait ... !!

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Cracking g end to the Czech game with an amazing goal kind clearance.

[halnone]

looking forward to the matches today!

I like goal difference because it makes every game have some importance towards the end of a season. it definitely works in a large league.


head to head does make sense in a group with only 4 teams though.


so I guess my point is that both have their merits.
