EURO 2012

Well after the first round of matches it looks like being a tuff one to call,England did well against a good French team and i think if they can up there game a little they have a good shout of doing well,Spain are the favorites but although they look good going forward they look poor at the back,be intresting how things pan out in the second match.

I make mistakes i am only human well half the time.

 England did do ok against a better French side.  I think we should improve attack wise when Rooney is back and Young can be used as one of the wingers...or is that whingers....  After these first few games, although I haven't seen them all I think we could maybe get to semi finals and I would put Germany very close to Spain as favourites if not slightly ahead.

Re: EURO 2012

I didn't intend to pay much attention. I never have in the past. However, I had a look at the groups and saw that there are many interesting matches in the group stage - more than in the World Cup. I'm following it a bit each day, much more than I expected I would.

Germany 2-0 up now. Holland in trouble.

Germany two wins out of two now and look solid,Holland need a miracle now and to be honest they don't look like getting one,Sweden are next for England and we need to win or we are in trouble.

Re: EURO 2012

England will get Roony back and center the whole team around him and lose, because he deliberately plays c--p when he plays for England. He doesn't want them to win because he doesnt like the queen. Never sings the anthem. Never plays well for england.

 

Is kraut a food? Do you eat it with froggies, eyties and grease balls?

Rooney is overated...don't get me rong he is not a crap player ....just not as good as everybody makes him out to be....and that bcould apply for half the team....like Gerrard and Lampard, Terry etc....none of them are "world class" players as they are often referred as. In my opinion, England have only never produced ONE truly world class player in the last 30 years and that is Beckham.....possibly joined by Scholes.

Re: EURO 2012

When ever england have centered their team around Roony they have not played well. I always think this is a mistake for any player. Trying to achieve a balanced all round team is far better. 66 was like that, at the beginning thier were no real star players but, good strength and balance all round.

I said to someone the other day that england did play well but the manager will change the team to suit Roony when he comes back and then they will play bad. Hope I am wrong and I have to eat those words and I will.

Re: EURO 2012

I'm curious to see what happens in Group C. It may come down to how many goals Italy beat Republic of Ireland by.

France vs. Ukraine has been suspended because of rain and lightning. I understand it must be played in full on another day.
