Euro's

[Benny]

Like Oxlade, Young and Chamberlain?  I'm inclined to agree. I hate losing which is why, if I recall correctly*,  I've never lost to you at Fifa. Ever.

Blunt, I thought 'Nuts!' was acceptable?


*my recollection(|) is solid.

"Nuts!" is OK

[smilodon]

The teutonic machine looks like it's going to get better and better, you have to admire them. From a distance.

To Smilo's point I think the reason is because anyone can pick up a ball and kick it. I played 5-a-side last night, was in goal for a stint and pulled off a tremendous tip around the post. I let 3 others in including 1 nutmeg, but for that moment I was Gordon Banks and am therefore qualified to comment. I also nutmeg'd their keeper at one point, so I am now Gascoigne in his prime. It's an accessible sport and therefore the opinion swells.

We are negative by nature, Henman and Murray, Olympics - we don't want them, bah humbug etc. Football is glorious when played right and I for one love it. Am I negative, hell yes, because I know that in my 1 second of glory I'll get the nutmeg and goal.....yes, the footballers are exceptional atheletes compared to my pasty and lucozade from Memsbury services, but there but for the grace of god go I....or something.

I don't think there's been a bad game in the Euro's yet, Portugal last night was superb. Roll on Friday where I can get into England, start believing and then have my hopes dashed and comment on how crap Milner really is.

Who appointed Roy, it should have been Harry, football causes death and riots, Freddie Starr ater my hamster. Blanket shut down of bad news, that's what I say.

Your word science is wise, good points.

Oh, and Benny, a nutmeg is only a nutmeg if you shout "nutmeg" before you do it. Trufax

 totally agree, I believe its "Megs" then "hehe", although in my experience after doing this the 7 ft 18st centre back that you had just megged is flying at you with two feet with a 'im gonna kill you' look on his face, i tend not to do this now.  its amazing how much that 1 word really annoys some players, im one of them......

After watching Spain, I think they will probably win it, I know it was against a non performing Ireland, but still stunning to watch all the same.

Spain were good to watch, but I wonder what they'd be like against Germany?
It's between those 2 I reckon

The Siesta Monkeys against the Hun? Where's your jingoistic, national, wife beating, vest wearing, lager spilling, prone to violence, aggressive, pride fellas?

C'mon England!!!

Tonight we dine on underrated vegetable! Remember Graham Taylor versus Sweden?

My name is Steven Gerrard, commander of the Armies of England, General of the midfield contingent, loyal servant to the true emperor, Roy Hodgson. Father to a poor Liverpool team, husband to an attractive wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Krakow, and you're already a winner!

Brought a tear to my eye.

Ulrika Jonsson! Bjorn Borg! Dolf Lundgren! Sven-Goran Eriksson! ABBA! Your boys are going to get one hell of a beating!

What a game!
What a hangover!

[Snokio]

must admit that I was agreeing with the commentator when we were 2-1 down when he said 'same old England, same old, same old' so it was good to see something different.

[Michelanio]

I'm not that interested in football normally but it was a fairly entertaining game, as one of our commentators said "it changed between hope and despair" grats on the win and hope you lose the next game

[Sneakytiger]

talk about edge of your seat football, it went glory to tragedy back to glory, OMG!!! why do england never make things easy.lol

[TheDvEight]

Like that England showed guts and glory to see the Sweeden game out with a win.


We should have won by a bigger margain and defended better...I suspect it was a brilliant game for the neutrals but It was edge of your seat nail biting stuff...WE HAVE to improve or we're stuffed.

[Sparko]

cracking game, thought we showed good spirit to come back and win it, havent seen us do that for a long time.  Was inpressed with Welbeck even though we didnt see much of him in the first half.

The worrying thing is is when we go 1 nil up we start to go all over the shop, its panic mode stright away.  Rather than playing as we were before the goal everyone just hits panic mode.

Thought defensively we were poor, we just need to be a bit more confident on the ball and be sensible.  All in all a great win and am proud of the boys, nice to know we have rooney back though it could get interesting now
