Euro 2012 Thread

[Crippled Crip]

Didnt see any thread for this, and i happen to love football (soccer) so lets just have a discussion board for this more or less on the games played in the previous days, the ones going on and so on and so forth. My personal favorite to win it like most people is Germany, even though my favorite team is Spain :P

As a typical American, I grew up playing soccer but having no access to watch the good stuff. Now that it's the inverse...

Spain is my favorite team to watch. Not only (usually) the prettiest, but it's pretty fun to watch the RM/Barca guys knock the ball around. Although really, get Torres off the pitch. I've run out of "want to like the guy."

I really couldn't care less who wins. Hell, I'd love to see an underdog like the Ukraine or Poland take it. Just gimme some good football.

Holland played so poor against the Germans last night. I wish Belgium made it, that would have been very interesting.

Germany is doing very well so far, but i want to see a brand new champion this time, such as Portugal, Croatia, etc.

croatia walked over ireland. Tomorrow should be some good games.

Best goal of the Tourny so far???....I'm going with the poland goal!!! beautiful first touch and a world class finish with the left foot. Here is the link (go to 7:20):

That was a great goal, text book drill with no one around, only there wer two defenders and a keeper.
I hate to say it, but Germany may have this one. I said it last Euro after the final, Germany was young then, un-tested as a team. They have been through enought to knowe how to win a Euro now. Still pulling for England, but hell, I doubt it.

Holland sucked today. Must have been some big changes from the world cup final team of 2010.

[MikeM]

England?!?!? Hah!!!

[FCB_M3]

Spain to take it.. Heard it here first...

[MikeDE]

Regardless of who wins, there will be unruly, drunken crowds into the wee hours of the morning, and endless vuvuzela shenanigans, even in the small town I live in over here.

But if it has to happen, i'd say i'd like Germany to go all the way.

did anyone else enjoy laughing at Ronaldo and his easy goals that he shanked? i did :)

[Habla]

Of course. He's a fucking joke.

"Ronaldo to take the kick", power stance, skies it, puts hands on face.

Or, the stepover combo breakers...

so true

[MikeM]

haha power stance.

As a tottenham fan I am liking croatia and Luka Modric. Germany looks strong but is that the easy choice??
