Thread: Euro 2008

Starts tomorrow.

So who is going to win?

Does anyone care?

I don't - everyone knows the tournament is devalued by Englands failure to qualify.

Exactly.

I still wonder how could that happen that they did not qualify?

Anyway, as much as I feel your pain, I am really looking forward to watch it.

Reminds me to buy a USB stick for DVB-T so I can watch the afternoon games in the office.

Because they're a bunch of overpaid, lazy kunts who deserve nothing more than to live in a cardboard box for a year with 1 quid a day to live on.

Far too much IMO. 1 quid a day I mean !!

As this is only on Thai TV at least the commentry should be interesting !!

Overpaid? I fail to see how anyone can live on 100,000 quid a week.

I wouldn't get out of bed for that pittance.

Having said I don't care - I don't want France to win as they lost to Scotland (twice), or Italy cause they are diving cheats, or Holland cause I want them to be shit as we play them in World Cup qualifying.

I think I will go for Spain, the bottle merchants.

Russia, because they've got the manager England should've appointed ages ago.

Never heard of such a ridiculous comment in all my life!!!
ah b*llocks lets scrap the whole tournament cos those feckers didn't qualify just like the Daily Sun boycotting the Dream Team competition due to England's FAILURE to qualify!!
Devalued for who exactly?? the English (obviously, but they are not the only country in Europe and haven't really made an imapct in international football for quite some time) Wales,Scotland and Ireland a bit in the sense that we now have to find 'A' team to support as opposed to just supporting whoever is playing England and I am sure the rest of Europe couldn't give a toss whether they are there or not!! I personally can't wait, an international tournament without the overhyped English team although I always do enjoy watching them crashing out each time.
How can it be devalued because a team didn't qualify? basically just as it was for Wales, Scotland and Ireland, England just were not good enough to qualify!
Players on Show: Torres,Ronaldo,Van Nistlerooy,Sneijder,Podolski,Simao,Pirlo!! oh how devastating and devalued this tournament is because Peter Crouch, Stuart Downing and Stephen Warnock won't be there!!
England drew 0-0 at HOME with Macedonia for f*cks sake a former Yugoslavian republic!!!

I would love to see Spain finally live up to their expectations, Germany are a class act apart from that clown in goals. Having a group containing Holland, France and Italy along with Romania with only 2 qualifying will make for some good football.
You don't care but start a thread about it? I take it you won't be watching any of the games?

F*CKING RIDICULOUS!!!:banhim1:

Not a fan of reading posts are you NickA??


Wales not full of over rated premier league superstars!! the majority of our players play for teams outside of the top flight, but with the great youngsters coming through especially from Cardiff City maybe the future is bright for Welsh Football!!

shame there aren't any smileys with the Macedonian flags, or Croation or Russian for that matter

^Hmmm, maybe the Scottish flag in Crunchie's avatar should have clued you in to the tongue in cheek nature of the OP

It will be nice to watch without England there. i can't say I've enjoyed any tournament that they have played in since '90 (maybe '96).

I guess the games will be on late here though, so probably won't bother to watch that much.

my internet connection very poor at the moment and most avatars are just a white box with red cross (annoying me as looks like the England flag at an angle!!)

thanks for pointing it out as my blood was well and truely boiling!!

Who do I want to win, Czech Republic
Who do I think will win, Germany.

Spain will bottle it, again.

Czech Republic - Can't see it
Germany - Quite possibly
Spain bottle it - hope not

Viva Espana!!

Germany V Spain Final would be lovely

I'm sorry but I hate football and I can't see what all fuss is about. Am I the only one ?

I don't care who wins, i just know that 15 cunty teams are going to lose at some point (and maybe cry), some of them on penalties and England won't be one of them

^ Because they are shite and didn't deserve to qualify due to overpaid, overhyped average players (excluding Steven Gerard) and a shite, shite shite manager although the media seems to pick the manager, players and everything this else connected with the international team

Not really sure you would seeing how shite you are at the moment, probably the reason why the English FA refuses to restart the home nations event

You honestly believe that as well don't you? {snigger}

You Taffy's don't realise that we don't give a flying fuck about your tin pot nation yet yourselves and the Sweaty's get great delight in supporting anyone who plays against us. The fact is we look down on you like a weird little cousin at a family wedding.

My money says that this English football team that makes you rant and rave like a little girl you watch it's players week in, week out in the English Premiership and you no doubt support one of the English sides. Probably Liverpool.

I'm right ain't I boyo?

As for English Joe. A great boxer, although suffered from a little travel sicknss throughout his career but a credit to England anyway.

Most players are overpaid and overhyped aren't they?

I'm looking forward to tonight, I'll be rooting for Portugal, but only because I don't know any Germans.
