1 player who is actually playing in Sweden :hah:Yeah, for some reason he starts every game when Wernbloom (CSKA Moscow) is a better choice.
But Henrik Larsson isn't even on the list? :trust:He retired like three years ago.
He retired like three years ago.You are doomed. :skull:

What's funny is Albania beat Greece that year 2-1.

I remember that, if not wrong a player of ours or yours was suspended later on in regards to some racial attack, not sure but shouldn't have happened at all in a damn football match.I don't remember that, and yes, agreed.
What do you guys think is a good bet for Ukraine and Sweden?2-1, or 2-0 Sweden.
The draw's a damn shame, a victory for either side would've been better.
France was dominating England for the last 30 minutes though, Hart did a good job not losing his guard though.
2-1 and ukraine is on top(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/48339001/samp/20.png)
I thought defensively we were very solid - we stood on our feet and and retained our formation extremely well. On the attack we posed some real threats. You could tell towards the end of the game that some of our key players, such as Scott Parker, were absolutely knackered.
One thing I was getting slightly pissed off with the was the referee at times. How Cabaye was not booked after several challenges (most of which was preventing us from initiating a counter attack) yet Chamberlain was booked instantly for a sliding tackle that didn't even make contact was ridiculous.
I assume you meant Estonia in this, as your prediction was close enough. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Does the English team have their anuses all lubed up for the game with France tomorrow?
Calling 3-0 now.
Ribery, Nasri and Benzema versus some peasant-class chavs.

The draw's a damn shame, a victory for either side would've been better.I wouldn't exactly say the last 30. At the start of the second half we were all over them.

This will be the main or one of the main stories in the papers tomorrow. The referee and his choices.Yea, probably.
Nice referee. The player was not offside and a goal was canceled for no reason, it should've been 1-2. We can still beat Czech fo' sure. Poland was lucky getting the draw, I hope not for Czech Republic.You can beat them and you can't. :)
Unbef**kinlievable. I hope this better be false, damn barbarians.

Sweden deservez the victory. But congrats England for one great game.
Sweden deservez the victory. But congrats England for one great game.Not really. I'd say that we controlled the majority of the game, even given the even split of actual possession. If anything, a tie would have been acceptable, since it's quite clear that Walcott's goal was rather fortunate, even if exceptionally well struck. I suppose you could say that Welbeck's winner was also quite fortunate, but equally you could say that it was very unfortunate that Johnson was only just unable to clear the first Sweden goal, by a few inches at most.
Walcott is absolutely amazing.+1

Well, Johnson did technically do an own goal anyway, since the ball wasn't even headed goalwards until he originally touched it :roll:
theo is straight outta compton
Why can't Walcott ALWAYS be like he was tonight? Why does he have to be so f**king inconsistent, especially for Arsenal.
Still, can't take away anything from his performance tonight - simply fantastic. Wasn't it like his second touch before he scored? :D
Yes, And i think he got an assist on the welbeck goal.
I thought he would miss, i really did but he used his right leg to flick it in backwards, im like O.Oikr, was awesome :D and lucky too though :3
Sweden 2-3 England.
Possession: 50%-50%.
Passes: 466-458.
Pass Completion: 81%-83%.
Shots: 13-13.
On Target: 7-6.
One heck of a game from both teams.

Andy Carroll kicks the ball at the referee ; Sweden vs England - EURO 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trZSTJnww5Q#ws)
And in the end sweden has no chance left to go up.Which is really sad. It all started bad when we lost against Ukraine, we didn't play our game, we didn't even manage to get up to half of our standard.

The game against England was solidly a really close one, good performances from both teams, and we would've beaten Ukraine with no doubt if we played like this (like we use to play).
Sweden was playing very good the second half. The first half they deserved to fall behind.
But neither teams will have a chance against Spain who has been (with Germany) the most impressive so far.
A final Spain vs Germany would be correct based on what we saw from the teams so far.
luckyTell me, how is it luck to defeat a team that kicked off with 4-1 against Czech Republic. Tell me how it cannot be teamplay, passion and force, you clueless prick. I'm sure you just watch football because there's nothing else to watch while eating fries and not just because you love football, am I right ?
Isn't that an offside? No players were in front of Navas. I remember many times when I played PES and I had such situations and I passed it to the player that was alone like Navas, I had gotten an offside.
ballsbollocks
If Italy play the same game they did against England today, then it looks like we have a Germany - Spain final.Indeed. Italy played pretty shit against us, we just played even more shit so we lost.
Well Germany was a disappointment... Pretty big one.. Germany's worst game in a very, very long time. The defense suck totally and Italy went through as an ice-breaker.
Italy will have no chance against Spain's defense. Spain are too aggressive comparing to Germany and Italy will have no chance to play as they did today (yesterday).
Congratulations to the 1st place, Spain! :D
Most people thought Germany would walk through Italy, but look what happened. They got thrashed... badly.I disagree with you.
If Italy play like they did today, they have every chance of beating Spain.
I disagree with you.
Germany defense was really low against Italy. It was not many times Germany breathed their opponent in the neck. Italy could turn around without pressure and start an attack without any issues. This is totally the opposite how Spain operates on the pitch.
Spain operates with full power in the middle and forces their opponent out on the side there they take the ball. Spain will not let Italy turn around as Germany did, they will neither let Italy walk through their defense so easy. Spain will control the game, especielly with Xavi, Iniesta as playmakers and Ramos together with Pique as "main"-defense.
Balotelli will not walk through Spain as he did against Germany. Sorry to disappoint you guys.
Spain vs Italy = 2-1
Italy will win the finals.
Spain is a really disappointing team this year, nothing special and they won't be capable of winning against Italy.

We can't really say Spain are a "bad" team because they wouldn't be where they are if they were... they have some good stuff about them, as well as a few things they could 'improve' on, but they seem to get the job done.
We can say that they are bad, because they're cheaters and unsportsmanlike.
Because the only thing they do actually is passing ... :neutral:
And if you didnt know, thats the hardest thing to do in football.. Thats why all other nations failed to do the same even though they tried to.The hardest thing to do is to keep on doing passes in your own half until the opposite team dares a move forward so you can just run along the wing, move in and score ? That's not a dominating way of scoring goals, that is the dirty Barcelona way :poke:

lol.. Spain never kept passing on their own half to break through the opposite team's defenders. Xavi and Iniesta are regarded as the best footballers mostly because of their kill passes. If you watched the final today, you should have seen how beautifully Xavi passed to make chances for his teammates.Xavi and iniesta are just awesomes
Spain may be good at passing, but what they are lacking of is finishing. Spainelona is good at passing, but they need Messi who would finish it, thats why Fabregas was a striker as they didnt have anyone to put there as mid-striker.
If you really know about football, you should know Spain's playing style is an art.. Commentators say they are the best because they are the best. Their passing skills are just too beautiful to be compared with other team's skills.Commentators are annoying people.... Especielly in Sweden. They speak as they know everything and they don't notice when they fail. I often turn off the sound on the TV so I get better atmosphere :D
2012 World cup..Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi..Chicarito, Walcott, Gotze, Aguero, Balo, Jesus Navas, etc. You're forgetting those with potentiality.

I hope Balotelli fixes himself, he is only 21 ffs and he is one of the best players in the world, should not act like that.(http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/548486_413868405318647_694838923_n.jpg)
2012 World cup..Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi..I think the best WC ever, can't wait for it.

It is not only that hes a bit crazy, but he is fighting with a lot of coaches and players.I should too. If the coaches and players are f**king retarded. Didn't you see Spain's goalkeeper how he taunted at Balloteli? Man those b!tches are asking for some punches.

Man those b!tches are asking for some punches.That's called gameplay, you taunt at others so they lose their attention from the game play, its called playing mind games, and mind games affect any game much much more than any type of skills or tactics. It can be seen very much in american football, ice hockey and Aussie team does it pretty much in cricket, where its known as 'sledging'.
