***OFFICIAL*** Euro Playoffs thread

Well played Joleon (so far) keep it up young man!

England embarrassingly bad at passing the ball and at moving to find space and angles.
Lescott having an excellent game in defence.

this x 100

Walcott.. can't even begin to assess how much this lad cannot see what is around him. And we have a go AJ. Mind boggles.
The rest of them are not much better.
Can't release the ball early, poor movement, too many players who dont have any awareness. Like something out of the 50's compared to Spain.

This is a bit off-topic but I was looking for some input on it...

Is the tournament that Spain won in 2008 and will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine in 2012 called the Euro Cup or European Championship? I know that both are used and they seem to be interchangeable but I was just curious 'cause some jerk at work
criticized me for calling it the Euro Cup rather than the European Championship. What's the correct choice here?

(Similarly, the UEFA Cup is the same as the Europa League is it not?)

Firstly I agree with the phips is a jerk bit, quality addition to the conversation.

And what would the "Euro Cup" actually be then? UEFA Cup/Europa League is close but hardly 100% and the European Cup/Champions League seems closest, back when it was a cup competition instead of this bastid child of Murdoch.

There was another one from our American gem factory, can't remember which but the phrase was "Premier League Championship". They do make me laugh.

What do you expect from a continent which organised this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_CONCA ... ons%27_Cup

That's excellent.

Not sure what Bosnia's beef is but I like it.

Shame we haven't got someone on the board from Bosnia who could translate the article.

Article isn't actually that interesting (I only posted the link so I didn't plaster the site with pics), but here goes:

Bosnia and Herzegovina's national team supporters' group , BHFanaticos, have created billboards on which UEFA president Michael Platini carries balls in the colours of France and Portugal, and a bag overflowing with banknotes, whilst on the floor lies a deflated ball in the colours of the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Although BHF did not officially announce the creation of the billboards, the posters show the fairly common opinion that UEFA is always against "minor" and poorer teams.

However, we believe that if one team plays well, even the alleged injustice of UEFA cannot be stopped.

Unsure exactly what the final sentence is implying, but my interpretation is "If our team plays well, the alleged injustices can be overcome", and there's been a minor typo, or I'm getting overly-confused by the fact that the Bosnian language uses double-negatives like they're going out of fashion.
