UEFA-EURO 2012

What a great game, England beats Sweden 3:2 in an action packed game, I liked seeing England fighting and not sitting back, personally I expected England to have beaten Sweden easily, but the Swedes refused to concede, once again brilliant game to watch.

...still smiling. -
The two youngsters came on and showed the oldies that real football is about wanting to win and trying your damnedest, not the money.
So either it's the brilliant new manager or just dumb luck - but who cares? we won !
Walcot's equalizer was lucky, but... as my wife [!] says... if they don't kick the ball towards the opponents' net they'll never score a goal - so it's better to try ten times and score once, than to try zero times and never score at all...
It ain't rocket-science...Now all we have to do is draw with the Ukraine - who of course must win to stay in... and are a 'home-nation' - so no problems there then...
-
Now it depends on how Sweden plays against France and y'all do against Ukraine, you need to do well and hope the worst for France or else you get to face Spain in quarter finals, that will be a huge hurdle.
-
Well done Greece, you squeaked through to the 1/4 finals. However if Germany wins tomorrow you will play them next.
-
Huff, sorry Rzeczpospolita, seems to me that Russians go home. Well done Greece!

Funny, I thought we play with them today.
Oh may, this is the UEFA-euro thread. Apologies.

That's a whole other ball game, a more serious one, with no winners I'm afraid. Good luck today, I do not know enough to even offer an insight, I do know a vote for the left is one that could see y'all exit the Euro and a vote for the right means austerity....sounds like a rock and a hard place.

Looks like Ronaldo is in form! When he is, he can rip good teams apart! I'd say Portugal's odds have gone up quite a bit!

@pete
We lost the first one.
Maybe football is more forgiving.
I don't think so. -
Today was drama...
Spain scored an off side goal, played crap and committed a foul that should have been a penalty for Croatia. Italy beat Ireland (so surprise)
So Greece will play Germany on Friday, England play Ukraine tomorrow and France play Sweden, wonder what surprises are to come.
Would LOVE to see England progress to face Spain, I believe they may just be good enough to beat them.

yeah he has finished his suspension and Walcott is back too. Will be interesting at least. What time is it on for you in Texas when the game is on, early morning?

Spain's goal wasn't offside, he was in-line from Fabregas' pass and Navas was level for the cut back. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed last night's match and thought Croatia were mightily unlucky, the writing seemed to be on the wall though when their player missed that header - it was a golden opportunity.

I would love to see England go through too (they play Spain if they finish 2nd) but I honestly believe we would get comprehensively beaten if/when we play them. Don't get me wrong, I don't think we'd get hammered like the Irish but I dont think the team could cope with the Spanish style.
