Yeah we fucked up just because of some English motherfucker...
How do you figure that?!?! Croatia have won both their games and only need a point against Poland to win the group and face Portugal. It will alomost certainly finish with Croatia top and Germany second.Quote:

Sorry, I must have taken a knock to the head or something!! In my defense I'm on night shift and I'm sleepy! I even know that the two winners don't play each other, and when I clicked back in this thread I thought "What the fuck was I typing about just now?!?!?!".
Haha.
with the draw in the other game today, Croatia has won group B.
Tomorrows games should be fukin good. France-Holland will be a cracking game.
Here's my stab at what the quarters gonna look like:
Portugal vs Germany
Croatia vs Czech Republic
Netherlands vs Sweden
Spain vs France
And here's my semi finals predictions:
Portugal vs Croatia
Netherlands vs Spain
And predicting the rest is gonna be tough, but I reckon Netherlands or Spain will win it.

best luck for that dude who scored from austria. 38 year old, gonna retire soon, an austrian beer company promised to give the first austrian (or maybe all of them, but definatly the first) a life time supply of beer for whoever scored. best luck for that dude.
I just hope Spain reaches the semi's or higher. Croatia too.
I just hope Italy doesn't get away with it as their teams and their national team does EVERY single time.
Probably wouldn't be the best idea if they ever want them to win a game in the future!Quote:

good for Vastic, thats one thing off his mind now.
I agree...at least that Ref has the balls to blow the whistle.Quote:

but its soo common that if refs started calling it all the time. we would have a penalty on every corner attempt.
oh by the way i just remembered Polands goal was offside. so i dnt think they should be complaining about the penalty.
That's the point though surely. If you start punishing it then people have no choice but to stop doing it.Quote:

Then looks all baffled by the call ?
I agree that it happens a lot...but it shouldn't.
And that should be the bottom line I think.
The change has got to start somewhere...
true indeed.
at the end of the day it depends on the ref. some will call it, others will wave it by.
Correction.Quote:

I think france will get dickd on by the Dutch tommorow. At least I hope so.

It not unusual for the team which isnt considered to have played the best overall during a tournament to win.
Its all about playing well enough to win games, at the right time.
The Milan point doesnt seem at all dubious to me, Milan are a team of the necessary skill level to compete in the tournament, and have the resources to do so.
I dont see how they are any less worthy that any other team UEFA selects.
I dont think Italy were particularly 'lucky' during the last world cup (maybe slightly...), they just won the games they had to, at the right times.
Yes, but I don't say they didn't play less-than-best overall, I say they play average, or good at most.Quote:

I really think they don't have the quality to be Italy's representative.
And I think Italy were really lucky last World Cup. Remember Australia. OK I understand Germany, they played well. But I think that if, as far the quality of the play is concerned, they were around 4th-5th on the tournament.
I just think Italy doesn't deserve this. Nor Milan the CL.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
What a great day of football! Shame Mutu missed the penalty though...
Let's hope for two draws or a Romania win next, and then it will be "See ya France! See ya Italy!"

Holland have come leaps & bounds since the last tournament.
Dangeorus on the counter too.
Sneijder's goal was sick...
Sneijder is pure class.
The Italians get fucked by the ref again. Luca Toni heads in a legal goal and gets skanked.
Is there a doubt buffon is the best goalie in the world? That penalty save was insaine. Plus he stoned Mutu earlier in the game on a break. He stoned him so bad he had to be subbed.
All Italy has to do is beat the frenchies and there in. As long as Holland does their job.
Im loving the way Holland are playing. I mean man of the match was Van Nistelroy. didnt score but the way he held the ball up and set up his team mates was excellent. everything he did turnt into gold. especially the skill he showed to produce the attack on the 2nd goal.
Robbens and Sneijders goals were awesome.
As for France, Ribery did everything, he only got some small amounts of help from Henry. France fuked up alot of chances.
now watch Romania beat Holland.
Indeed...I thought I got his name wrong !!!!!Quote:

I dunno, I thought the penalty save was amazing first time, but it wasn't quite as amazing watching again. It was an awful penalty and he was fuckin lucky it hit his leg. But he is definately in a group of three goalies who on thier day can stake a claim for the crown (the others being Cech and Casillas).Quote:

also Romania kno this Dutch team very well. they did take 4 points off them in qualifiers.
with the Italy game, yeah offside goal wasnt given. also i really didnt think it was a penalty. I watched the game with a couple Italian friends, it was hilarious. the amount of times i heard the sentence "damn romanians have put some gypsy curse on toni" was too much.
The penalty is a funny one. I don't think he pulled him down, but if you put your arm round someones neck in the penalty area you're a fuckin idiot and you're asking for them to fall.
Romania is a good team...they've held both WC finalists to a draw,and not an easy one too. They played great, what I like about them, they have HEART. Did you see Lobont? He was jumping on the ball like a kangaroo... They have a chance to take the draw from Holland, but with their form... It's just too close. And Romania and Holland are the teams that deserve the next round. I just didn't see so much from France and Italy.
Romania's entire team seem to be very good at tackling.
holland are F'N hungry!! france and italy got ate up like kobe's old jersey!!!
if they keep it up they will reach the finals
france and italy arnt playin well
hopefully romania advances
if france or italy go through they will get eaten alive by spain
100$ says the italian coach is gonna get fired!!!!!!!
Donadoni is dead and buried. I think Mr 'I pick my team by the the positions of mercury and venus' Domenech is gonna be off too.
I think it's gonna be Spain or Holland that win it.
I want a Holland v Croatia final. Craotia win.
Not holding my breath though.
