Official Discussion Thread for the Euro this Summer.
I for one am stoked since I feel the Euro is the best International competition "trimming the fat" if you will.

Predicitions.
Group A: Russia- 1, Poland- 2(a toss up between them and Czech)
Group B: Germany- 1, Netherlands- 2.... wish Portugal could surprise someone, but I doubt it
Group C: Spain-1, Croatia- 2... Croatia partially because I hate Italy, but I think Croatia can actually take Italy
Group D: France- 1, England- 2


France wins it all by beating England for a second time.. more of a hope than a prediction, but oh well. Hope Spain doesn't win and I'd love to see Ireland be competitive.

This is where the missed penalty from last match bites them in the ass.

Ya I think it's safe to say this one's probably over. Greece's offense is pure shit.

Mistakes happen...

I'd never expected Petr Čech to be the one making a mistake but alas.

That looked more like the defenders fault. Cech probably should have called him off if he didnt. But the defender needs to hear/see that thats the keepers ball and back off.

I am a keeper myself. Most annoying thing when another player just doesnt listen and gets in the way.

petr cech has become vastly overrated.

That was a terrible miscommunication.


And in regards to pele's goals, supposedly the only reason he's over 1000 is because he counted literally every single goal he ever scored. Friendlies, fundraisers, exhibitions and things like that. No other player ever counts those as being part of their tally.

Pele was good, but he wasn't the absolute God of football that he thinks he is.

That's why I don't like Pele.  He's way too conceited.  I like the best players who are modest.  Which is why everyone hates Ronaldo, and most people like Messi.  I don't think Maradona is very modest either, but he's hilarious so I still like him.

spot on Sean. So impressed with the knowledge of Garrincha - he was just as good as Pele, but a much more troubled human, native back ground, alcohol, not getting the respect he deserved. Had he been English and a stronger person, well....
Lets have a PH football night with Fred and Mikko and a ton of different beers, get drunk, watch ball, do shenanigans.

Being cocky shouldnt affect if they are the best or not. Also Pele vs Maradona in the media is great

fair points (bar Pele inventing tactics). Its just too difficult to compare different worlds really. Just put them all in the same bracket of 'The Best of Their Time"

I think we can take the Czechs and get into the quarter finals, that would be huge achievement and you can see they are pushing for it. i wonder how the fans will react if they win, last night there were celebratory riots just for a draw.

I'm pretty sure some cameramen have jobs of finding hot women or cute children.

And that picture of the German girl is irrelevant, the Dutch girls are way better.  Also, that video above was hilarious.

Finally, today's a huge day for Group B, if the Dutch lose, they're out, and if Portugal wins and the Dutch win, everyone's tied and the final games of Group B will be huge.  Today's going to be crazy.  I'm hoping for a Dutch victory and a Portugal victory, so the final day is super interesting, and then the Dutch and Denmark advance.

But it's going to be very tough.

Christiano Ronaldo sucks.  I really hope Denmark scores again just so he will be the reason his time doesn't win.
