Ah right thanks. About time we start getting linked to players. So far all summer its just been about Ronaldo! Tired of it at this stage. That's two right backs we've been linked to now. Sergio Ramos came out before and said he'd think about a move to United. Not sure we want either of them though to be honest. Need to be going after strikers.

Spain were impressive in the second half. Fabregas has to start in the final. Him and Iniesta were incredible in this match.

How about, I don't want to be in the light, but I do want to see cheating stamped out?

What really gets me is how referees fail to see it.
Football's a man's game. If a player rolled around in agony like that in a rugby league match, he'd be laughed off the pitch.

Well football is not a contact sport, unlike rugby.

The really good judges tend to notice a faked injury, but it's rather difficult to see everything that happens between 22 guys on a few acres...technology would help, but it would also slow the game down. :\

Nice try.

UGH! Spain won

Come on Germany! please win it all.

I'm bitterly disappointed, the Germany/Turkey game had technical issues that interrupted the flow of the game.(I'm recording them on my HD and watching them after work). And yesterday,,,when I got home and started watching the Russia/Spain match, we had a power failure here that wiped out all of the 2nd half, so I basically missed the whole game. At this point I guess I have to give Spain the edge over Germany in the final, unless the Turks were really that good of a side I don't see the Germans getting away with the sloppy play they did last game. So far other than some minor issues this Euro tournament has been a lot of fun to watch, even though my predictions have sailed wide of the mark.

dont worry, the russia spain game was teh suckage.

adidasss · 06-27-2008, 03:51 PM

Obviously you've not seen the Italy-Spain game...now that was teh suckage...

Beany · 06-27-2008, 04:02 PM

What ya's reckon was the best game so far?

Few that come to mind straight off were the Germany Croatia game, Holland France(just for Hollands performance!), Germany Turkey, etc

I know I'm missing a lot of obvious ones though.
