Euro 2008

[Rushall Saddler]

Sweet Jesus. Turkey 3-2 up. Great finish from Nihat.

[Exile]

It's all going off!

[Fray Bentos is God!]

My Prague bints will be disappointed

[Rushall Saddler]

Turkey keeper sent off. Stoppage time. No subs left. Crazy game.

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Shearer tolerable?

I disagree, hes just as vomit inducing as the rest of them

You talk sense. hes a ygabum.

I reckon he'd smash Keane's head in though. There's a huge Facebook group dedicated to those who agree with that notion.

Youre daft, he reeled Keane in and managed to duck it.

If Keane hadve connected hed have killed him. Big hairy fact

Would be hilarious if it went to penalties now!

It didn't.

Portugal and Turkey through from Group A.

That's the kind of match which just proves that football is the best game ever!

But, Keane didn't connect - because he's slow and stupid. Ask any Newcastle fan about Shearer's 'enforcement' of club standards at the training ground. Nails. Woolly mammothy FACT.

This is a FACT, having just read Keane's book, he said that Shearer called him a "" twice, and he fell for it!

If he 'fell for it', then Shearer's obviously right.

[SaigonSaddler]

Great stuff.

My little beauties are running a riot over the Asians

Hahahaa

NEVER underestimate the power of Asian desperation! :mrgreen:

Better food
Better women

But everything else is pants :wink:

[kevin]

At least the balls am going straighterer.

[Ned_Kelly]

Can't wait for tonight, i'm even having "varză călită" for tea, with sausages of course, to get in the mood for a Romanian win which will dump France and Italy out in 1 not so fowl swoop :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ribery looking like his achilles is buggered

[RobboH89]

Ribery looking like his achilles is buggered

I agree. France are a shambles again

Italians definitely on top

[RobboH89]

I've switched to Holland vs Romania, better play there.

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Abidal sent off and Pirlo scores from the spot

Nasri (bought on for Ribery) sacrificed for Boumsong

[HKSaddler]

Italy and France both going out looks unlikely now.

[HKSaddler]

But it does appear France ARE going out! :D

[Carneiro Is Not Leitao.]

But it does appear France ARE going out! :D

Certainly Does :)

[Duke]

i think a better team than France would have beaten Italy last night or a least push them them harder. France were rubbish in front of goal some good build up work at times.
an Italy - Spain quarter final should be a real cracker on Sunday.

[Pedro]

Still loving Spain and David Villa at 50/1 :D

[moaning saddler]

Dozy ITV commentators still haven't worked out that Ballack fouled the Portuguese defender....

[4143]

I'm glad that the ponces from Portugal are out. The ITV commentary was disgustingly biased toward them - every pass was 'brilliant' and every mistake the fault of a German.

Not winking now Ronaldo, are you?

But, 4143, they were the lesser of the two evils - bloody Germans!!

[4143]

I'm afraid I quite like Germany. I'd certainly choose to live there over Portugal!

[Welsh_Saddler]

Having watched the majority of the Portugal v Germany game, I must say that I was impressed with the sheer level of footballing skills shown by both sides. Lots of good passing movements, ball control, first touches etc.

So why, oh why, do so many of these top players resort to blatant cheating? And isn't it high time that the "third referee" (the guy with access to action replay TV, slow-motion, whatever) was given the power to adjudge what was really happening on the field and make refereeing decisions accordingly? We already have it in cricket, when run-outs are decided in the pavilion.

Out of many examples from tonight's game - certainly Ballack's goal, where he was only able to head the ball as well as he did because he had pushed the Portuguese defender out of the way first. Ronaldo, having been forced to the ground in a tackle, reacted as though he had been kicked to death, when the German player clearly leapt over him and no contact was made. This behaviour is a deliberate attempt to bring unwarranted punishment to a fellow-professional.

Or have we to accept that it's now part of the modern game, and I'm just living so far in the past as to be a dinosaur?
