View Full Version : Euro 2008 Officer Mudkip 05-29-2008, 02:53 PM Who's excited? MY country is out, but i still love football so it will be a great spectacle!! kingofnoland 05-29-2008, 02:54 PM It'll be great to be able to without the bbc constantly going on about england. That used to annoy me no end. BigAndiD 05-29-2008, 03:09 PM is anyone going? Officer Mudkip 05-29-2008, 03:39 PM nah, i love watchin it on tv just =) codinthepocket 05-29-2008, 04:11 PM I'm more excited about this one than if England were in it. I know that England weren't going to win Euro 2008, so the fact that they got knocked out of the qualifiers mean that I don't have any nervousness... I will be supporting Norway, though. My second country. (I'm a quarter-Norwegian...) Come on Norway! :thumbsup: EDIT: Just noticed. 1500 posts... kingofnoland 05-29-2008, 04:14 PM I wish I had a second country to support. English out Irish out Latvia out. I'm just very unlucky:tongue: Dawnathella 05-29-2008, 04:16 PM I don't know who to support now, nvm ill watch it anyway SWF Joker 05-29-2008, 04:20 PM im half italian so go italy FakePlasticTree 05-29-2008, 04:23 PM Northern Ireland never qualifies, so I usually end up cheering for Germany and Holland. However, this year I'm going for Spain. I am a huge beliver in Torres, and I honestly think he will surpass Ronaldo as the greatest player in the world right now within the next three years. If the rest of his team can play with his passion and skill they definitely stand a chance. Still, it will probably end up being France or Germany winning it in my opinion. Shane86 05-29-2008, 04:32 PM My ancestors were French so I'll support them :tongue: LEGEND 05-29-2008, 05:05 PM England are out, ****ing McClaren. Wish the scots had got through actually they deserved it more than us tbh. I'll watch it anyway, i'll probally just root for Brazil or someone. ¬_¬ Infneon 05-29-2008, 05:10 PM Why do people always blame the manager when their team lose? Surely it's the 11 (and subs) people on the pitch that lost them the game codinthepocket 05-29-2008, 05:40 PM I'll watch it anyway, i'll probally just root for Brazil or someone. ¬_¬ ??? :undecided: Brazil are South-American... :lol: Officer Mudkip 05-29-2008, 05:47 PM lol I think i'll go for Spain, seeing as Torres and some Liverpool players are there. Then again, Northern Ireland beat 'em and there horrible :undecided: Millakilla 05-29-2008, 05:48 PM ??? :undecided: Brazil are South-American... :lol: :lol:You beat me to it:P FakePlasticTree 05-29-2008, 08:37 PM lol I think i'll go for Spain, seeing as Torres and some Liverpool players are there. Exactly. I'll be sporting my 2008-2009 Torres Liverpool home shirt I just got during every Spain game. :D Makelevi 05-29-2008, 08:51 PM I'm Canadian...but just because I live in North America doesn't mean I can't be a footy fanatic. Can't wait for teh Euro (which is also a surprisingly good 360 game). Spain needs to win something. xD FakePlasticTree 06-04-2008, 02:57 PM I'm running a Euro pool.

More than usual. With England out of it I can actually have some fun watching football, rather than be constantly biting my finger nails, toe nails, hammering nails, and any other kind of nails I can find like I usually am. So in a way I'm glad England are out. I'd still rather they were in it, but hey, I'll make the most of it either way. regua 06-04-2008, 03:11 PM I'm running a Euro pool. Here's my pics for the group stage, predictions in brackets.... I hate you now. Poland will lose all their matches according to your picks... FakePlasticTree 06-04-2008, 03:25 PM Austria/Poland was a bit of a coin toss for me. I was close to picking the draw, but I took Austria because I think the home team support will carry them through. But yeah, I don't thiny're beating Germany or Croatia. The only one I'm not sure about is the Austria game. I'm fairly confident Poland will lose the other two. kingofnoland 06-04-2008, 03:28 PM Austria/Poland was a bit of a coin toss for me. I was close to picking the draw.

The only one I'm not sure about is the Austria game. I'm fairly confident Poland will lose the other two. Yeah, and if we beat Croatia, I'll give you a profile infraction for lying to a moderator. Deal? :thumbsup: Boruc will win them for you Having a good goalkeeper without good strikers is like feeling the need to shit without having an arse. If we keep a tight defence line, we may prevent the opponents from scoring goals... but then we would have to score them in order to win. And that's nearly impossible. Makelevi 06-04-2008, 03:42 PM ??? :undecided: Brazil are South-American... :lol: lmao! My first thought was "Gotta be American!" I myself normally would have rooted for England, but, well, you know...:sad: I'll closely follow Poland (underdogs yay!), Portugal, Spain, France and the Netherlands---allthough I want the Dutch to win the most (Van Der Sar!

Not the worst, but the team with the hardest job at least. Makelevi 06-04-2008, 04:00 PM I dunno...Austria suck pretty bad (no offence. I mean, they're biggest achievement the Euros is...being the host nation to automatically qualify) kingofnoland 06-04-2008, 04:02 PM But with italy, france and netherlands, romainia haven't a chance really. Although i'd bet on them to at least get a draw.. Makelevi 06-04-2008, 04:04 PM Oh, I didn't see you say "Not the worst, but the team with the hardest job at least". Yeah, they got boned pretty bad with that group. FakePlasticTree 06-04-2008, 04:16 PM But with italy, france and netherlands, romainia haven't a chance really. Although i'd bet on them to at least get a draw.. I'd take that against Italy. I honestly don't think Italy is making it out of the group stages. Looking at my pics I see I posted the wrong. I actually have Netherlands to beat Italy. Officer Mudkip 06-04-2008, 07:49 PM I'd take that against Italy. I honestly don't think Italy is making it out of the group stages. Looking at my pics I see I posted the wrong. I actually have Netherlands to beat Italy. Italy will win Euro '08, them or Spain hopefully. I'm suprised no-one has written a full length essay on how portugal will win and that Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Plesantly Suprised FakePlasticTree 06-04-2008, 07:58 PM I'm suprised no-one has written a full length essay on how portugal will win and that Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Plesantly SuprisedBecause they know that's not going to last long when Torres surpasses him in the next 2 - 3 years. :D And Italy...I dunno. Missing Cannavaro is a huge blow to that side IMO.

Missing Cannavaro is a huge blow to that side IMO. Torress is immense =) FakePlasticTree 06-04-2008, 08:04 PM Yes sir. Apparently he wants to sign a "lifetime" deal with Liverpool. They better do it. I've been supporting this squad through their many recent years of struggles and just not making that extra push for the title. The way Torres and Gerrard play together, it just puts a smile on my face. If they make the right moves in the summer, including giving Torres whatever the f*ck he wants, Liverpool could win the Prem in the next 5 years. And oh God I hope they do it.

Four years ago, in the last Euro's I had money on Rooney and Baros to be top scorer. £10 bet won me £635! :w00t: Thats enough to cover my bets for the rest of time! This year I have, amongst other bets. got money on Italy and France with money on Luca Toni & Benzema to be top scorer. Will be keeping an eye on and supporting Poland though coz of our friendly sarcastic neighbourhood Regua! Go Zurawski! :grin: (He's like the only Polish player I know!)

I'm rooting for netherlands, because i went to amsterdam last year. My prediction is germany win though. regua 06-08-2008, 03:16 PM F**king Germans.

FakePlasticTree 06-08-2008, 08:21 PM ^lol The only team that has won convincingly IMO is Germany. Croatia, Portugal, and the Czechs all looked quite shaky at times I thought. Lets hope the big name countries can make some solid impressions, otherwise Germany has already won. None of the teams I've seen so far would even be able to compete with the Germans. kingofnoland 06-09-2008, 12:53 PM But with italy, france and netherlands, romainia haven't a chance really.

I'd like to gloat at my amazingness.. :lol: VANDER13 06-09-2008, 01:03 PM that romanina France match had to be the worst football match I have ever seen Blackswordsman 06-09-2008, 01:07 PM Ok France are not getting through the group stage, the Dutch and Italians are going through after that awful match. I am not suprised as it seems Domenech (french coach) uses astrology to pick players!, what a freaking moron. He left out a number of great players becuase of this crap! Eagle Eye 06-09-2008, 01:14 PM I fell asleep in that game.

VANDER13 06-09-2008, 05:26 PM The last two goals were great counter attacking play and without babel, roben and van persie it was a great performance and result for holland Definitly the match of the tournament so far Shane86 06-09-2008, 05:29 PM Italy didn't even show up. Blackswordsman 06-09-2008, 05:32 PM Great match, I ahve always wanted the Dutch to win it all. But i think Germany will get it in the end.

Yeah the first episode is after the last episode, Guts survives with half his left arm and loses his right eye. The story continues in the manga. Thats when he becomes the Blackswordsman and starts f***ing demons up with that huge ass sword. Actually Caska survives aswell, but reverts to a childlike state after all the horrible crap that happens, so he is more her carer than lover after that. After that his mission is to get Griffith for what he's done. Brave thing to do, to kill off half the cast 13 volumes in! Read the manga, trust me it is even more awesome than the anime. (But i do hope they make a second season to the anime aswell). PopTrogdor 06-10-2008, 04:48 AM Yeah but......

But... thats so gay she goes into a childlike state, i guess Guts loves her so much that he'd anything for her. I did watch the first episode again and i was like 'oh yeh, forgot this happened, should have seen it all coming' I just got so wrapped up in the story that i forgot about it being a flashback. And yeh, can't believe they just killed every single person, it was all my faves as well. I did like griffith until he forced himself on the princess, then i was like, bastard.

Yeah thats exactly why he got arrested , the manga goes into a lot more detail aswell, in fact there are two major characters that the anime completely excludes, (how do you think guts escapes? :lipssealed:). Also there is a lot more violence and sex in the manga. dont go reading it with kids around. :lol: (However the manga has not finished yet so the story is still going, and new volumes take a long time to come out.)

FakePlasticTree 06-10-2008, 01:37 PM Fantastic play by the Spainards. If Russia keeps playing defence like that they're going to be out of this tournament in a hurry.

As much as I dislike him, this isn't the kind of player you just let go. In other news, Germany is f*cking the dog. Down 2-0 to Croatia is not a good thing.

We just got whipped by Holland, and we deserved it... For m, this year, Spain or Holland will be champion. I don't see any other team.

DarkVidard 06-14-2008, 08:29 PM Sorry mate, I like Lille, Lyon (trying to support the French teams a bit :)) but mostly Arsenal, ever since Arsen Wenger arrived there, that man is a genius, HE should be our national team coach, not that Domenech guy. FakePlasticTree 06-16-2008, 12:03 PM Tell me you guys watched the Turkey/Czech match yesterday... Wow, definitely the best match of the tournament so far. The third goal for Turkey was a thing of brilliance. A candidate for goal of the tournament for sure, right up there with Sneidjer's first goal and Ibrahimovic's goal against the Greeks. So it looks like we'll have Portugal playing Germany and Turkey playing Croatia, unless either of those teams lose today, but they shouldn't. Wednesday will be great though. Who's going to get stuck with the Netherlands? I think Sweden will win, but who knows, the Russians have played pretty well so far. Officer Mudkip 06-16-2008, 02:25 PM Tell me you guys watched the Turkey/Czech match yesterday... Wow, definitely the best match of the tournament so far. The third goal for Turkey was a thing of brilliance. A candidate for goal of the tournament for sure, right up there with Sneidjer's first goal and Ibrahimovic's goal against the Greeks.

FakePlasticTree 06-16-2008, 03:55 PM I hope Germany just destroys Portugal. regua 06-16-2008, 04:01 PM F**king Croatians. And f**king Poles, they can't even play. FakePlasticTree 06-16-2008, 04:05 PM Still hate me? :p regua 06-16-2008, 04:09 PM Still hate me? :p Yes. Now even more. You caused this all to happen! And I'm really upset I can't give you the infraction I've promised. FakePlasticTree 06-16-2008, 04:11 PM Ah well. The Dutch are still in it, you can cheer for them now. I don't imagine too many Pols cheering for Germany, what whith...you know...history and all... And I remain infraction free! I win again! blade2k6954 06-17-2008, 12:36 AM you can always root for portugal! Officer Mudkip 06-18-2008, 04:01 PM Russia!!! :O FakePlasticTree 06-18-2008, 04:10 PM Good performance by the Russians. Can they beat Holland though? I'm thinking Netherlands/Croatia final, with Netherlands winning. I might take Spain in my pool though because everyone is picking the Netherlands. regua 06-19-2008, 04:04 PM F**king Germans on their way to win. kingofnoland 06-19-2008, 04:05 PM F**king Germans on their way to win. are you going to be ok? I wouldn't want to be near you if they win the final.. regua 06-19-2008, 04:14 PM are you going to be ok? I wouldn't want to be near you if they win the final.. I will make sure I'll be watching the final in Doncaster, then. FakePlasticTree 06-19-2008, 04:26 PM Excellent performance by Germany. It was a great match to open up the final eight. I still think the Netherlands are going to win it all, but I couldn't go that route with my pool because I need the points to try and take hom that $500 first place prize. My Picks: OF1: Germany over Portugal QF2: Croatia over Turkey OF3: Netherlands over Russia OF4: Spain over Italy SF1: Croatia over Germany SF2: Spain over Netherlands F: Croatia over Spain SmellmyFace 06-19-2008, 05:05 PM DEUTSCHLAND HAT GEWONNEN WOOWOWOWOWWOWOWO!!! seriously though... that was some tense stopping time, especially after the goal at '87. also, i think netherlands will win blade2k6954 06-20-2008, 09:10 AM CHEATING GERMAN DEUTSCHBAGS!!! I hope Croatia whoops their ass like they did in the group game. Shane86 06-20-2008, 09:19 AM There's been too many terrible referee decisions in this tournament. I can think of at least 5 times where goals where either wrongly given or wrongly not allowed... Pepe had a wrongly disallowed goal against Turkey Luca Toni had a wrongly disallowed goal against Romania Roger had a goal wrongly given to him for Poland against Austria Ooijer got away with a save on the goal line against France, it should have been a penalty and a red card. Metzelder got away with a blatant penalty against Austria And last night Ballack just shoves Paulo Ferreira out of the way and scores :undecided: Cyberspectre 06-20-2008, 12:57 PM i've been on holdiay and didn't realise we were already at the semi finals Shane86 06-20-2008, 12:58 PM i've been on holdiay and didn't realise we were already at the semi finalsQuarter Finals. Cyberspectre 06-20-2008, 01:00 PM i've been on holiday...but i was close bman5000 06-20-2008, 01:20 PM I believe it's time for the Netherlands to win this instead of Germans or God Forbid Italy... Shane86 06-20-2008, 01:26 PM I believe it's time for the Netherlands to win this instead of Germans or God Forbid Italy...Yeah but I'd rather some underdog team like Croatia won. VANDER13 06-20-2008, 05:29 PM that was quite an end to the turkey vs croatia match viatrophy 06-20-2008, 07:52 PM that was quite an end to the turkey vs croatia match What happened? I completely missed the match, wasn't impressed. :angry: Shane86 06-20-2008, 08:12 PM 2 goals in the last two minutes of extra time and Turkey won on penalties n00bhunter 06-20-2008, 11:15 PM Who's excited? MY country is out, but i still love football so it will be a great spectacle!! I wouldn't say I'm "Excited" i watch the news most mornings to check overnight scores aswell i like calling it "Soccer" they are trying to get people to call it "Football" like the rest of the world But we have Australian rules football and rugby which can also be called football Btw I'm going for Spain my favorite player is Iker Cassilas or however you spell it He is awesome. SolidBrix 06-21-2008, 12:55 PM If I were Germany, I'd be incredibly nervous for the next round. Even with half (:roll:) of Turkey's team out they are so unpredictable. But it doesn't really matter if Germany wins or not, because Spain is taking the cup. Viva Espana! bman5000 06-21-2008, 07:02 PM Netherlands lost NO!! but hey i guess they gave their all...but not at that throw in...jeez! Shane86 06-22-2008, 04:16 PM 0-0 draw, Italy were just defending the entire match, penalties now. Officer Mudkip 06-22-2008, 07:48 PM Fabregas =) Shane86 06-25-2008, 07:21 PM Soooo Germany in the final, Regua must be pretty pissed right about now. FakePlasticTree 06-25-2008, 07:40 PM Kudos to the Turks. They played well and deserved to get as far as they did. Hope to see a Spain/Germany final! regua 06-26-2008, 06:17 AM Soooo Germany in the final, Regua must be pretty pissed right about now. They've lost the First World War, they lost the Second one, and now they'll lose Euro. At least I hope so. viatrophy 06-26-2008, 09:10 AM They've lost the First World War, they lost the Second one, and now they'll lose Euro. At least I hope so. Haha, Cold dude, cold. I hope Germany win now, just to annoy you. Anyone up for taking bets? :lol: Officer Mudkip 06-26-2008, 11:54 AM My Prediction. Russia Win whole thing kingofnoland 06-26-2008, 12:05 PM My Prediction. Russia Win whole thing That's what I want t happen, not sure why just will find it funny.:lol: Yes I know I'm odd.. FakePlasticTree 06-26-2008, 12:56 PM I'd like Spain to win today, but I can't say with confidence that they will. Russia is playing very well. Spain will get destroyed if they play that slow boring style they played against the Italians. Either way, I've got my Torres shirt on. I'm ready for El Nino! Shane86 06-26-2008, 05:02 PM So Germany and Spain in the final, I was in work tonight so I missed Russia getting hammered (and sickled).
