Euro 2008: Group D

[MrCoffee]

aka Group Does Anyone Not Swedish or Russian Care?

Who do we like today? I'm pulling for Sweden because Ibrahimovic is a total badass mofo, and I don't care what anyone in the Premiership says, I like Henrick Larsson.

[MrCoffee]

1. No one at all? But there are so many burning issues to resolve!

Will Greece score a single goal this tournament? On edit, it looks like they already did. Way to go Greece! :woohoo:

Who will advance to lose against Holland?

How does UEFA MatchCentre know how far each player travels per game? They've got it down to hundredths of a kilometer, for cryin' out loud! Although that heat map is pretty cool, to see where the player spends their time.

2. So, my husband is British..

and all the hipsters in his office in Philly are always asking him questions about the soccer championship, whichever one is going on now, and finally he has to tell them that he's not into sports at all. :rofl: They think he must be into soccer just because he's English.

[MrCoffee]

5. Was he distracted by a queue?

It happens.

[Phillycat]

8. No, no, he was just stuck in the loo. Which I thought was rubbish,

but he thought was brilliant!

[MrCoffee]

11. As long as he kept a stiff upper lip, he'll be jolly good in no time.

[Phillycat]

15. Rather!

Too right he bloody will!

[MrCoffee]

17. I said "lip", you freak

Sheesh.

[redqueen]

6. Why are you cheering for Greece?! UGH!

x(

[MrCoffee]

9. I'm not!!

I just thought it sporting to root for the defenders to not be UTTERLY and COMPLETELY HUMILIATED. Now they're just UTTERLY HUMILIATED. Their humiliation is not complete, as they managed to score one. Good show, Greece!

[redqueen]

14. But they *deserve* to be utterly and completely humiliated.

:)

Have you seen the clips of Ronaldo crying after the last Euro finals? :rofl:

[MrCoffee]

16. WHA??? NO I DID NOT!

But I want to sooooo badly! Did he cry and then dive, or vice versa?

[redqueen]

18. Hahahahaha... no he was just standing there...

I've only seen the clip once... it was right after the match ended... he just hung his head and started bawling like a toddler.

It is GLORIOUS.

:bounce:

[MrCoffee]

23. Did it look something like this?

GREAT song choice! :rofl:

[redqueen]

24. Hahahaha... yes, that's it!

:D

[MAGICBULLET]

3. WOW

Russia is out to kill today. Let it roll! Two nice goals so far

[redqueen]

4. HOW did Greece get a goal on Spain?

HOW has Spain not scored yet?

:wtf:

:mad:

[MrCoffee]

7. Spain is starting their U-17's

Greece was lucky to score on them.

[MAGICBULLET]

10. that game doesn't even matter

or does it? Spain is going through and Greece is eliminated no matter what. Russia v. Sweden is the one and it's been pretty good.

[MrCoffee]

13. Greece - Spain matters not at all

I am flabbergasted at the Russia - Sweden score. :wow:

[redqueen]

12. Yes, I'd assume that it was more due to luck than skill...

One of those U-17s better step up and score.

[MAGICBULLET]

20. Boom!!

what a blast

overall Spain and Holland are playing very very well

[MrCoffee]

21. I hope Spain beats the crap out of Italy

Stupid French couldn't do it, someone's got to. Although it would be EXCELLENT to see Holland kick the hell out of them again.

[MAGICBULLET]

26. hahaha

yea it seems Italy is that team you love to hate but they are like Brazilians in the sense they can start off horrible and end up winning the whole thing. That penalty shot that Gigi blocked against Romania was was enormous.

Anything can happen! there is no logic in it.

[redqueen]

25. Who scored?

Bah... I have heard enough slobbering on Holland's collective cock to last me a LIFETIME. x(

[MrCoffee]

28. Scores:

Chairistas (GRE) 42'

de la Red (ESP) 61'

It's equal now in the 73rd minute.

[MAGICBULLET]

29. some new kid in ESP

scored, not sure who...

I hear ya about Holland, to be honest, I don't feel passion for any of these teams. I think I enjoy seeing them lose more than seeing them win. :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

32. I'm passionate about Spain...

cause Cesc is on their team.

:loveya:

[MrCoffee]

30. Why do you hate Ruud so much?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


:hide:

[redqueen]

31. I hate the hype and the fawning!

And... just trust me! I have my reasons, irrational though they may be. :evilgrin:

[PermanentRevolution]

19. I've been saying all along...

Russia's been really missing Arshavin in their last two games. Today pretty much proves that.

[MrCoffee]

22. Good for Hiddink for bringing him along

[MissHoneychurch]

27. You got that right - no one really cares

except Sweden and Russia .. LOL

And Russia is stomping Sweden to the ground :wow:
