Euro 2012

[citizenED]

Feeling nostalgic.

[Otta]

I might actually be more likely to make the Spain game to be honest.

[citizenED]

I'm up for the Ireland game. Castle?

[El Pibe]

Could be and laugh.

[Jah Lush]

Excellent two opening games. Was a bit surprised by how poor the Czechs were and how good the Russians were. Fantastic goal by Pav. Wish he'd done that more often at Spurs.

[Alan Medic]

This is confusing but feels good!

[Alan Medic]

I'll be watching allright Jack. Not sure about in a pub though. 5am start on a Monday is hard enough as it is.

Word of warning. Don't click on this link. It just sent my laptop crazy. Obviously full of bugs.

[Otta]

Interesting results today.

[El Pibe]

Have to disagree re EC vs WC.

As a general rule I much prefer the Euros for the football, though there have been poor tournaments.

Since the WC expanded its a much greater spectacle and has much more of a buzz factor about it, but there is a lot of mediocre football and dead rubbers from the filler teams, and let's face it, by the time it finishes the major feeling (apart from elation when Spain wins) is one o f relief that it's finally over!!!

Anyways, so far so good on this one. Some cracking games I the group stages and a good upset already!

[citizenED]

Yeah, Otta - According to BBC, DEN beat NED.

I clicked on it without any problems but you may be right (I'm not too tech savvy) so here's the youtube link to the same thing - bizarre but compelling

tho I was more taken with their response to the Tam Cowan's "joke" about them in the Daily Record-

Not sure what that could be as I clicked on it and it played normally. I took it from a post on facebook. Unless your post has a double meaning beyond my understanding.

Joey Barton really should just shut the fuck up! Not saying that I disagree with everything he says, but he's just such q stupid prick.

Might be able to make a later Ireland game SJ (maybe the semis eh?). Am just back from a boys golf trip so its dinner with the missus tonight, with one eye on the match. Enjoy.

Looking forward to the much anticipated titanic struggle between Modric and Keith Andrews in midfield :'(

[StraferJack]

Strong possibility I may not make it back in time for this now

Anyone who does go let us know how busy it gets for the later games?

[ratty]

I am half Italian and half Croatian today!

[Ann]

I am genuinely half Irish half Polish! Born and raised in England. Can anyone remember when all three teams have played in the same competition, if ever?

[Alan Medic]

The Eurovision?

[Mick Mac]

Rather disappointing for Ireland. Croatia deserved the win but there was possibly a bit of good fortune to all three of their goals. So perhaps it was an opportunity missed for Ireland and I can't quite see them getting out of the group. Possibly the draw between Spain Italy may help in the end. Who knows.

? The England team visited an orphanage today in Poland,

[Otta]

Thought the commentators were pretty harsh on Shay Givern for the third goal. What exactly did they expect him to do?

[MrBen]

Irelands game has that dogged feel to it that you get with a lot of Scotland games. Some lucky goals but the Croatians were the classier side. I can see the Irish getting a draw with Italy or Spain - like the Scot's they can raise their game for the big boys.

England tonight - a reminder that Scotland beat France twice (home and away) in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. If we can do it against the odds you'll find it a walk over right?

[Otta]

The Ox to start according to BBC news. Good news.
