Euro Cup 2008

lol, I was thinking about making a thread about this, but I just assumed nobody other than you would watch it But I guess you weren't either

We lost our first match 2-0 to Portugal (a surprise really - I was thinking along the lines of a 5-0 defeat ) and don't play well at all.

After Turkey, I support The Netherlands (I always have for the last 10-12 years ), but I was out last night and had to record and watch the game after I got home. Good thing I did. Very good match. And very good score

No. No Greece. They suck.

Seriously, they're very boring. Effective, maybe, but unbelievably boring football.

I've been watching it.
But since the games are all at 9 or 12, it's hard when I work.

I did however just watch Spain kill Russia.
And here I thought that if Russia actually scored that shot that hit the post in the 22nd, the entire game would have been different.

I'm heading back downstairs to watch the Sweden game in a second, being Swedish and all - and considering Poland is a losing cause, and Ukraine isn't even there.

Ah, I can see that...Who is a fun, scrappy underdog kind of team, then? Obviously I root for the U.S when we play, and I'd like to think we fit this category because we kind of suck....

Maybe I'll settle for Turkey.

Whoa, Greece was pretty bad today. Yes, I don't like them, but the few times they started passing to each other in their own half (one which went on for more than a whole minute) just drove me crazy. And Ibrahimovic's goal was unbelievable!

And Germy, we don't play that well, but if you want a challenge, go on and support us I hope we at least make it out of the group stages..

Turkey doesn't have a bad team.
They just don't have a good enough team to compete with the top tier teams.

Unlike my powerhouse of Ukraine.

it's actually quite the opposite. We've got quite a lot of good players, and when the team plays well, they play very well. The problem is our coach, IMO. He was good 10 years ago. He knows nothing now, with stupid player selections, substitutions and weak tactics.
