EURO 2008

[Tsakali]

im kind of weird so i actually kind of enjoyed the sweden v. greece game. yeah, they eventually broke down but damn do the greeks know how to defend. its interesting to watch their organization in the back. plus it was interesting because a lot of people felt like their euro2004 run was a fluke and they had to defend their reputation.

it was kind of expected, sweden was said to be our toughest competitor in the roster .

IMO Swedes came out strong and never let go, it was inevitable

[Chupacabra]

its interesting that spain, greece, and russia were in the same group last time around. maybe that makes the greeks feel better?

[Tsakali]

you mean that placing them with strong teams raises their morale?
sounds right

[Tsakali]

I tell you one thing...greeks seem to work better when they are considered the underdog....maybe we can't handle the pressure of high expectations lol

for all their good attributes new greece is lazy and above all they want to live a good life...lol so sad

[Chupacabra]

you mean that placing them with strong teams raises their morale?
sounds right

no, that placing them with pretty much the same teams as last time and they were able to do it last time should boost their morale.

[Tsakali]

oh, not sure... I could bullshit my way to a rationalization either way.

[Grudge]

Yay sweden!
What the hell was greece doing. The first half especially was painful to watch.

indeed, the Greeks just kept passing tha ball around on their own half of the field, dunno how they figured that was a good idea

beautiful goal by Slatan too

now we just need to beat Russia (because I don't think we'll beat Spain), and we're on to the 8ths

[seremtan]

greece won euro 2004 playing conservative dull shit like that

[Tsakali]

fuck you?

[Tsakali]

wow, I don't know where that came from, I guess <10 million population forces me to be irrationally patriotic.

[seremtan]

at least you won, Tzatziki

[Ryoki]

wow the first half of switzerland-turkey was really nice

I'm rooting for turkey

[Grudge]

at least you won, Tzatziki

won't happen this time though

[Plan B]

wow the first half of switzerland-turkey was really nice

I'm rooting for turkey

Me too.
Have a Turkish colleague who got all hyped up about this match today, and I don't want to have to console him tomorrow.
I wonder if this weather keeps up and then if the refs decide on a rematch.

[Plan B]

2-1, yes!
Okay, Portugal and Turkey first through.

[menkent]

rofl turkey last second wtf?
i mean, it's no secret that the swiss have no game... but really.

[Chupacabra]

at least you won, Tzatziki

lol

[Don Carlos]

Germans will go through to the Semis - just wait

[Ryoki]

Yarr, i'm rooting for them tonight as well.
Mostly so we dutchies can beat them later on.

[chopov]

hehe...yea, a german-dutch revival is always great. But as you already know from the past: we will beat you anyways ...
This happening in the final would be great though.

[chopov]

half time: CRO 1 : GER 0

uh oh...hope they wake up in the 2nd half...

[Doombrain]

i don't

[chopov]

England isn't even in the tournament...losers...

[chopov]

[Doombrain]

We've moved on from that
We'll just concentrate on the most important league in the world, the premiership and see you in two years
