The Euro 2004 Thread

Atro · Jun 11, 2004

We'll try to focus all of the event discussion here.

From the start, I just would like to say we're only missing 2 major squads. Those are Scotland ( I love their outfit ) and Romenia.

Every post is welcome, I would be very pleased if Ray_7 would be here along with us comenting the disscussion of the event.

Keep this thread ALIVE untill the 5th July. :buttrock:

Less than 2 hours untill Kick Off! :buttrock:

I can't beleive it's been 4 years already since the last Euro. Enjoy the games everybody.

My predictions (guesses):
Portugal 3 Greece 0
Spain 2 Russia 2(or 1)

Less than an hour to the first match, let Figo and Rui Costa destroy the GREEKS!!!!! :buttrock:

Amusing opening ceremony, I'll give it an 8/10...

Spectre · Jun 12, 2004

Karagounis!!!! Upset on the way!? :eek:

evo7_31 · Jun 12, 2004

6 minutes gone and the Greeks are ahead :mad:

Spectre · Jun 12, 2004

Half-time, Greece are looking good, have played really direct attacking football and Portugal have looked worried when Greece have ran at them. Portugal have had much more posession but have not used it well and Greece have been solid at the back and shielded the ball well.

Very poor loss of posession and then defence backing off for the Greek goal. A good finish though and Greece have had a couple of other good chances. At the other end Rui Costa should have done much better with his free header but Portugal haven't really created much end product despite always looking threatening.

I expect Portugal to get back in the game second half, but it might be a case of whether or not they can find the breakthrough... could finish 1-0.

Spectre · Jun 12, 2004

Oh dear Portugal, Seitaridis bundled over in the box by Ronaldo, Basinas converts from the spot. 2-0, game over?

kaos · Jun 12, 2004

I'm really, really sorry...always loved Portugal

but meh....cant understand why the've played so shitty
and Figo....He looked like He couldnt even move

Amano Jacu · Jun 12, 2004

Portugal 1 - Greece 2, the p0VVNag3!!!11

Now let's see the Spain-Russia... :eye:

Baseley09 · Jun 12, 2004

Ive always held that Rui Costa is just an average player, mostly poor even, he has nice tecjnique and can pass well enough, apart from that his all round game is awful.

Way to prove me right today.

deathknight · Jun 12, 2004

I hope Russia wins this one, so that Spain gets eliminated early.
Although that won't happen, Spain will probably get very far this EK.
Unlike the Netherlands, our team sucks... We'll probably get kicked out pretty soon AGAIN :oh_no:

Atro · Jun 12, 2004

Well, we've been owned on our first match because of two childish errors.

However, this is not the tactic we should be playing. Attacking football is meant to be played with two strikers from the first minute. That brazilian coach will never understand that.

The greeks have shown they're strong on the defense but those bastards have been lucky. Pierluigi Collina forgot to blow the whistle on a penalty though. I always thought we were not having a good preparation for this event and it was shown today.

Anyway, there's more matches to be played and I'm gonna see Spain V Russia now.

@Baseley : Rui Costa isn't overrated. Couto is. This isn't just the right formation for him to play.

deathknight · Jun 12, 2004

And Spain scores.. they don't play too good either.. :eek:

The first half was dominated by the russians. Now the spaniards are in the lead and they are more balanced to score the second than to suffer the draw.

Amano Jacu · Jun 12, 2004

Oh well, Spain won 1-0, so it looks like the leader of the group will be decided between Spain and Greece... Russia and Portugal will have to do their best if they want to make it to the quarter final.

FT : Spain 1 - 0 Russia

Some drame involved. Morientes subbed out but super sub Valeron scored. Raul was subbed at the 79th min.

Nice score.

Tml :

Fra - Eng
Switz - Croa

Who to punt for?

:rolleyes:

STFU, moron.

Shame that we don't have a proper coach. Valerón should clearly have been in the initial 11, replacing either Baraja or Albelda. Having two defensive midfielders is preventing Spain from scoring, and considering the outstanding quality of our wingers and strikers, that's a great shame indeed.

@Amano Jacu: outstanding match by Pujol. Probably the only Barcelona player I actually like.

Your right, I don't think either Baraja or Albeilda are suitable for 1st team international players, not that they aren't good players, but Valeron, Xavi Alonso & perhaps even Xavi would be prefered by me.
