Official UEFA EURO 2008 Thread

Soccer should consider adopting the extra man option that Hockey has, man.

Imagine pulling yer goalie for an extra forward when you've got setpiece situations in the later moments of a match?

***an overwhelming hush falls over the thread***

I'm such a badass....such a forward thinker...a bonafide radical!


*scoot, scoot*

well in hockey it much easier to control the amount of players, in football its a bit harder. so if they would adopt the extra man option that's used in hockey, then they'd have to make a bunch of changes to make sure that the extra man that comes in place of the goaley doesent remain on the field once the goalie is put back in. and why not keep things as they are? already football is becoming all about money and not about sports.


cheers

^^ yeah, I meant like in the dying moments of a game...as a last hurrah of some sorts, but you make an excellent point, bro. Anyway, I was just fuccking around.





Anyone else feel that the facilities in these two cities are astonishingly sh!tty? I mean, I realize that these countries aren't first World nations when it comes to soccer, but they most certainly are from an economic perspective.....these ******* miserly countries should've invested more in the upgrading of the current stadiums or construction of some brand new sh!t, man.

I've only been aware of this Niculae kid's existence for one single match, but I already want to ruthlessly murder that dude, man. He always seems to be in the falling down motion....even when the action is nowhere near 'em.


I hope that his penis falls out of his jockstrap as he goes for one of his flops in the next game and an opposing player stomps on it.

Italy and France could be out.......that will hit the TV ratings.

Worst case scenario for TV audiences is if Germany loses to Portugal........

 

[Filipower]

Not for the Portuguese TV networks

 

[Johnny_Big]

TVI

By the way Fili, TVI has a fuc**** delay on the sound in every game they transmit. When it's a goal, the sound of it only come 3 seconds later. Stupid audio/video guys.

 

[Filipower]

You know what could have a delay instead? The commentator's stupidity....Jesus is there anyone who knows what they're saying? (apart from Freitas Lobo )

I don't see what's so major about these predictions? It looks like some random wrote them and put some sort of graphs to make it look more legit.

Russia is an illusion? Maybe but so is Greece. Their qualifying group for EURO was also IMO much easier than Russia's. They only really had Turkey to worry about. Russia had Croatia, England, and Israel. Plus, the Russians have Guus Hiddink so I think their chances of flopping would be lower than usual.

I don't usually do this...but I'm gonna quote myself on this post and my post right before this one :P Russia FTW

 

[banok]

I think the dutch team is the best in this tournament.

Luis Freitas Lobo is a SIR. :Bow:

Much better that stupid cu** of Sic Noticias.

Oh how the pieces have fallen into place for Croatia....first they avoid Portugal, then they avoid the Czechs. May as well pencil them in for a SF showdown with the winner of Por-Ger.

Croatia is a very good team.
But
if they have Modric, we have Arda Turan, the turkish Maradona.
if they have Olic, we have Nihat, the "finisher"
if they have Srna, we have Hamit Altintop, the twin from Bayern Munich
if they have Kranjcar, we have Tuncay, the guy who never gives up
if they have Kovac, we have Aurelio, he might have been born in Brazil but this Mehmet is one of ours, oh my Mehmet god bless you.
if they have Simunic, we have Servet, he is the guy who chokes a bear(thats really his last name)
etc.. etc..

I believe in our guys, we are the only team so far that managed to turn a game around from losing and yet we did it twice
Balkan derby, Croatia vs Turkey, bring it on

..we are the only team so far that managed to turn a game around from losing and yet we did it twice...

good point.

 

[treble41]

Are Poldi/Klose starting? Podolski's fit so he'll start, what about Klose? Will he be left in or will Neuville be used? Gomez is definetely out and Jansen's injured.

This is the guess for the line up:

-----------Lehmann---------
Fritz--Metz----Merte---Lahm
------------Frings-----------
Borowski-----Ballack-----Hitz
-------Klose------Poldi------

Still haven't seen Austria play Erwin Jimmy Hoffer, he's a striker for the future and he would've netted some of their missed chances against Poland, hope he plays.

Two things,

1. Does anybody know the song played when a goal is scored?

2. Do you guys support the head-to-head ranking for the group stages?

 

[Elber2k3]

Bellini - Samba de Janiero?
This one?

It's from 1997 or something.

 

[Fernandez]

YHGR!!! (you have got repped)

 

[Filipower]

Also, also, does anyone know WHY THE FUCK do they play that song when a goal is scored?

 

[treble41]

I don't mind that song so much, 7 Nations Army by the White Stripes got annoying four years ago and to hear it again is too much. Please get them to stop.

Also I love how UEFA play the same song over and over again, too cheap to buy a new CD or licensing? ffs

 

[Fernandez]

Also, also, does anyone know WHY THE FUCK do they play that song when a goal is scored?

That song is stuck over my head, not one to store in the mp3 player though.

Anyway, any of you guys watch American Gladiators? They play 'another one bites the dust' and 'na na na naaa, na na na naaa, heyyy goodbye' whenever the contenders lose.
