The REAL football thread.

Gtfo. They have never won against Italy for 30 years.

 

[False Joe]

Germany hadn't won in a Euros finals match since 1996 before yesterday.

The rot has to stop somewhere. Italy are too old now

 

[sevag00]

We'll see.

 

[rms]

who won the last world cup, wasnt it germany?

 

[False Joe]

Italy ldo.

Lol at France.

 

[False Joe]

Guess who just scored lol?

 

[Killbot]

Offside if ever I saw it.

 

[False Joe]

Guess who just scored again lol?

Definately not offside this time.

 

[Killbot]

That second goal was quality, they're playing a pretty good game. I wasn't really expecting anything from Holland this tournament, but looks like they could do really well.

 

[False Joe]

Told you

If they get to the final I'm sticking some money on em.

EDIT: LOOOOOOL. 3-0. Suck it Sevag.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Did anyone see our 1-0 goal against Greece tonight? Holy shit that was a beauty!!

 

[False Joe]

Fucking lovely to be fair.

He looked shocked. No wonder after 2.5 years barren

 

[skeptik]

I've now printed out a schedule of games so I don't fucking forget to watch. I caught the second half of Sweden/Greece, and that was a very nice goal indeed.

 

[False Joe]

Never would've had you down a football man dodens.

 

[skeptik]

To be honest I really only watch the World and Euro Cups, other than that, soccer is usually shown at ungodly hours on channels I didn't know exist here, so even when I do think about watching, I can't find it. But yeah, I get quite into it during the cups.

 

[False Joe]

Good stuff.
You missed some right nice games. Holland one yesterday, and Spain today.

 

[skeptik]

Yeah, I would've loved to have seen the Netherlands crush Italy...maybe there'll be a rerun.

 

[False Joe]

You can probably catch the highlights on youtube somewhere.
Not the same but you know

 

[no country for old wainds]

that was a pretty poor game, greece look the worst of the 16 teams, nice goal from zlatan though, guy's quality when he wants to be. i'm still waiting for larsson's last hurrah, total legend.

best teams for me so far have been:
1. holland
2. spain
3. portugal
4. italy (shooting aside)

im still sticking with my germany france final prediction though lol

 

[Blind Guardian]

Yeah Germany looked really good against Poland,they have changed from their usual boring discipline style to a more offensive joyful style of playing,Podolski is pure gold,would love to have that guy in my team.
About the Sweden Greece game yeah i agree it was a pretty boring game overall apart from Zlatans goal and some few highlights. But i blame that on Greece,did you see how they seemed totally unwilling to even advance the ball over the mid line sometimes? I know they have a defensive style but come on,it´s not even remotely fun to watch.
