Football Euro 2012

[Mephistopheles]

Not that time that was the other attempt at goal..

 

[Mephistopheles]

Or he may have been I'm not sure now..

 

[Mephistopheles]

Is Roney actually fit enough to play football? He wouldn't last a single lap in an F1 car that bloke...

 

[Jos the Boss]

Cus he's not an F1 driver? He's not used to 5Gs!

 

[FB]

No, he's used to 150G's (a week)

Grannys?

 

[teabagyokel]

This football stuff is well confusing, when we played Sweden we played in blue but now the France is playing Sweden France is playing in white....

Lets all flog away kits...

 

[Mephistopheles]

Now we lose to Italy correct?

 

[teabagyokel]

There's a whole quarter final round to go:

1. Czech Republic vs Portugal. RRRRRONALLLLLLDDDDDDDO! is Portugal's key player but Nani is also good. Czech Republic's most recognisable star is their goalkeeper and they'll need him.
2. Germany vs Greece. Easy German victory will be interspersed with commentators who know little about economics trying to stick in spurious references to the Eurozone crises. (Also German victory.)
3. Spain vs France In 2000, Spain won the group, played France, lost. In 2006, Spain won the group, played France, lost. On both of these occasions France played Portugal in semis. Portent? No. Spain win.
4. England vs Italy Surprisingly, England don't have a long history of disappointment against Italy due to rarely playing them in tournaments. That chapter of the England book opens on Sunday.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Hey I have never been accused of being an optimist...

 

[teabagyokel]

Mephistopheles - I have predicted impending disaster for England in each game of this tournament.

I've not had the confidence of this guy:

Mephistopheles - it is a satirical character who is meant to be a xenophobic Boer War veteran. No actual opinions ventured in that...

 

[Mephistopheles]

Yeah I realise that now I've read the whole thing....

 

[Galahad]

Greece will try to hold out against Germany for 90 minutes and fail. Germany win.
France will try to hold out against Spain for 90 minutes and fail. Spain win.
Italy and England will try to hold out against each other for 120 minutes and succeed. Italy to go through 12-11 on penalties.

 

[Jos the Boss]

No! England will win, Come on England!

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Have got a funny feeling the the Greeks are going to " Park the Bus" in the game tonight.

 

[mjo]

I wonder what gives you that impression?

 

[Johnny Carwash]

mjo

I reckon in the second half Greece are going to play a more attacking formation 9-0-1.
