The official EURO 2008 thread *UPDATE RESULTS*

[Priam]

Yes they're making decent descisions, allthough ones that all have allready been made 100's of times.

The new thing was supposed to be enforcing punishment on the 'wrestling' in the 16 meter area. Allthough i have to admit, it's never really bad, when it is, it's that obvious that any ref would blow the whistle.

Don't really get why all this should be enforced some more. And i don't get why every ref' ignores it which leads to shit like this.

Ok time for the predictions of tomorrow:

Holland VS France

&

Italy VS Romania

I say 3-0 to Holland and 1-0 to Italy. (We can do it! show these frenchies we mean business!)

Time to support France, Amelie. I'm counting on your cheers.

*prays Boulahrouz is there again, I love him!*

No way 3-0 is happening again. My bet is on a 1 - 1 tie between Holland and France.

Don't know what to say about romania, though. Hope we do well, and manage to hold the italians to a tie, just as we did with the french. idk... It might be harder this time.

Holland is in the same list as Italy and France tbh, so you want to tie against them as well and advance with 3 points? oO (not to even mention the goalsaldo..)
Romania got a strong team but just like you they focus too much on a tie, no true winners imo.

At the moment Holland has the most points and goals so things are looking good for us. I guess we can tie France/Romania and advance.

[Shimrod]

Hehe, imagine the following scenario

1) Holland beats France
2) Romania beats Italy

Then in the last round Romania ties with Holland

Who would have thought that Romania ánd Holland would advance in the Group of Death (tadaaa)

Can't really say Romania are losers, against the WC finalist France, with their performance, I think it is rather unreasonable to go for a win, they know their league and aimed for a draw and they got it.

France, get ready to be vaporized, I present to you our legion of doom:



From the top down, from left to right:

Van der Sar as 'The Lion'
Boulahrouz as 'The Cannibal'
Ooijer as 'The Rock'
Mathijsen as 'the knucklebone' (not sure that's the right translation, any suggestions?)
Van Bronckhorst as 'The fuel/diesel'
De Jong as 'The vacuum cleaner'
Van der Vaart as 'The stylist' (? )
Engelaar as 'the connection-man'
Kuyt as 'The warrior'
Van Nistelrooy as 'The shooter'
Sneijder as 'The architect'

Van Basten as 'The Fieldmarshal'

To summarize: we're gonna eat you alive, a lion will prevent you from scoring while rocks and knucklebones make you think twice before attacking!

edit: forgot van basten, added now

[Priam]

+1

[Jantje]

Mathijsen as 'the knucklebone'


lol? idk if thats the right name for mathijsen

[the.unseen.]

Thank God Germany lost, now they can play, and beat those cocky Porks.

[woutR]

@jantje: open to suggestions like I said

I thought there was a saying with 'blood and knucklebones' which translated into bikkelen, I don't know. I don't think the english language has a word for it.

[Shimrod]

Knucklebone is the perfect translation for "bikkel" as far as v.Dale is concerned

[Jantje]

I mean that mathijsen isnt a bikkelaar, dont know if you spelled that right in english.

[Priam]

prefect for mathijssen.

[MrFudge]

230 minutes and counting.
waiting for epicness.

[Krevidy]

Rofl @ De Jong, ''De stofzuiger'' T_T.

[MrFudge]

i suggest italy keeps at it.

*edit* damn nice save, i knew it italys attacking up top.
*edit*edit*
WTF BUFFON.

[Doron]

holland beating france tonight??

I don't buy it...

It's friday the thriteenth, and it's france for christ sake.

*Tonight we've got a party fro our school in a club near. In one of the dance halls they put up a big screen and they're going to show the game...

Only for that reason I hope holland loses, so the losers who are only going there for the game will be cranky for the rest of the night.. *

But.. I also hope they win, but we'll be beaten soon enough...

[bakafish]

OMFG BUFFON AND MUTU

JAJAJAJA Italy is gone, France will destroy them.

[MrFudge]

damn.
tie game, now italy has to beat france to advance.
as much as i wouldve liked to see italy lose, It just got more epic.
Romania needs to work on their aerial game, they even owned themselves at one point.

[HyorunmarouZ]

I hoped Romania would win... oh well, at least they held Italy enough (Great goalkeeper performance, from both sides).

Poor Mutu, he got so sad after Buffon blocked the penalty



GO HOLLAND!!

[[SD]Frites]
