The Russians just didnt seem bothered when they were attacking. no urgency in their offense. and with their shit defending it really didnt help. Spain played well going forward, Torres and Villa play well together. defensively though they lack organisation. they will struggle against the better offensive teams.

as for the sweden - greece game. Greece were shit. they are soo single minded in their play. i mean there was periods were the 3 centre backs were just passing to each other wasting time. Sweden were patient and Ibrahimovic scored a nice goal. the 2nd goal was just a joke. Greece are too old, so they cant defend as good as they did 4 years ago. and they got nothing going upfront so they are really fuked.

get those mules out of the tourny. that was terrible to watch. their midfielders weren't even checking down to get the ball. im glad they didnt get a draw or even sneak a win out of it.

Man of the match was obviously Villa, three goals is a great achievement. Apart from that,Xavi, he was all over the field. Senna was solid too, surprised me.

I loved the way Torres set up Villa for the first goal...
It's great when you see players being unselfish.

Spain look like they mean buisness...

Spain to win the tournament, thats what im hoping for.

Those greezy spaniards dont have a defense. Marchena and Puyol are both not good enough to win a tournament. Russia are missing there star player for the first 2 games so without Arshavin they are really a different team. Arshavin wouldve ruled this tournament if he wasnt suspended.

dont sleep on portugal...
pepe is a wall!!!
bosingwa has the speed of a mongoose!!
nani is a ronaldo clone!!
ronaldo looks hungry!!!
deco runs the midfield!!
and the goalie ricardo...is scary coz he looks like tony montana!!

Turkey just scored against Switzerland. What was the goalie doing?

Oooh, looks like they're gonna have some scratching, hair pulling and hand bag waving now...

ahah turey are the dirtiest team ever lol

the swiss goalie stinks
swiss shouldve capitalized on that break away counter

Hmmmm.... what are the odds now that both host nations are gonna go out without a single point? Maybe in the future UEFA will decide against letting two of the 16 places (not to mention 1st seeds) be taken up by crappy teams that wouldn't have qualified.

how ironic that the Swiss field 3 turks, and one of them scores against on anothers assist.

good game, the rain was bollocks, we cant play in conditions like that. and you saw that after half time when we sorted our game out when the rain stopped.

Revenge is sweet. we still going out of the tournament though.

for the other game, both portugal and the czechs played well. Portugal just have the better attacking options.

Turkey vs Czech is gonna be interesting. Could go either way.

Well if Turkey wants to win the game, Terim has to start Semih and Nihat upfront. Semih our only real striker, he must play.

Also we need to get Arda the ball more, in the 2nd half of the Swiss game we kept going down the right. Tuncay wasnt doing anything good. whenever we sent it down the left Arda made things happen. he a really good player i hope he leaves Galatasaray this season, cause he has loads of talent.

in other news, Big Phil as Chelsea manager.

Yeah, should be a good appointment for Chelsea. Hasn't managed a club in 7 years, so we'll have to wait and see how he does in the transfer market (if he's alowed to make his own decisions).

so who is gonna be the portugal coach after??


turkey vs Czech

swiss played well both games and if anything deserved to win both...well today turkey was more hungry, its very unfortunate that swiss' top striker got injured in the first game, frei is being missed
the weather condition sucked!! it looked like they were playing in a pool!!
lol
congrats to turkey

czec vs turkey should be one hell of a match!!

the new nike commercials are pretty sick

How can you say the Swiss played well in the first game? I didn't watch the Turkey game, but the Swiss never raised their game above average in the first game and never really looked like they had any idea how to score a goal.

its true they do look lost coz they dont have a quality striker (frei is out)
swiss shoulve won that game against the czech, swiss had more ball posession
and gave the czec's alot of problems
it looked like swiss had turkey beat, but turkey came into the 2nd half hungry!!!

swiss dont play the most attractive football but i give them props because they have been puttin up a fight

you have to give the swiss some credit, its not like they are losin 3-0 or 4-0

They shouldn't be losing 3-0 or 4-0 to teams like that though. The Swiss aren't an awful side, they're just very ordinary. They may ship a fair few against Portugal though.

Why wasnt Arda used in the first game though?

ooOOooo germans down 1-0

And your suprised^ ???

Croatia is destroying Germany.

"The Jews say hi"

oooooooooohhh shiiiiiitt we lose?

and im sitting here at the corp right now and cant watch the goddamn game because my fukked up satellite cable just broke one hour ago and all these onlinestreams are not working for me MAAAN IM A VEXED GERMAN RIGHT NOW!!!

croatia have been considered to be the dark horse of the tournament

Yeah^
They are my team for this competition...

Talk about a fluke.

Good job to Croatia on that victory. They deserved it, it was a pretty equal match, but for all the chances they've missed, that cross-arm-lehmann-post-leg-goal move was to serve justice.

If Eduardo hadnt broken his leg Croatia wouldve walked this tournament.

Very good point^
I agree they did deserve it...
People will sit up and take notice over this result.
Can't say I'm suprised though...
I wasn't impressed with Germany when they played Poland.

I'm supperting Croatia as well.

Dont think they'll have enough fire-power in the later stage, with out Eduardo.

Modic looks class, Spurs got themselves a good player.

Hahahahahahaha 2-1

lol @ germany!!!!!!!!!!


france will take it


anelka is going to show that 'w' symbol!!!!!

fukking germany! killed all my faith with this game, but who knows maybe the loss came at the right time and we'll be able to learn from it,

the next game will show...

Wow... against Austria.

Next game will be great for Germany.

austria just doesnt know how to score
they are playing well

like i said croatia are the dark horses
and eduardo ...wouldve loved to see him play

france would be lucky to get out of the death group
i wouldnt be surprized if holland and romania advance

lol the Austrians havent got a clue on how to hit the back of the net. im starting to feel real sorry for them.

As for ze Germans. well they didnt play bad, Croatia were just really good on the day. they were lucky with the 2nd goal.

It was a good competitive game. Its really mixed up this side of the draw though. everyone expected a Portugal - Germany Semi-Final. by the ways its gonna shape up they gonna have a quarter-final instead.

interesting news. if turkey and the czechs draw the game. there will be an instant penalty shoot out to determine the winner, becuase there will be no goal difference between the teams.

FUCK AUSTRIA!! FUCK THE ARBITER he was so fuckin unfair that i can't stand it !!

the ref pretty much gave austria the tie

the germans were struggling to find their game
croatia was on point and pretty much did what they had to do

austria need to be more cold blooded infront and finish
if they expect to beat ze germans

germany needs a tie or a win to make it through and go up against portugal
austria needs to win to get through to face portugal


croatia will pretty much play against the winner of czec VS the ottoman empire lol


tmrs games should be entertaining

I flipped the channel in the 92nd minute and now it ended in a draw. What the fuck?
