| Let's see if we can get a Euro thread going. Anthems are being sung as I write this and it's about to start. Thought? Prediction? Personally I've never been much of an enthusiast about these tournaments, more of club football fan myself. But hey at least one match every day from now on, can't complain about that. |
| Also a club football person myself, but with nothing better on TV, why the heck not. Making predictions? |

I'm german and it's been forever since they won anything. Would be nice but I wouldn't mind them not winning either. There's Spain of course but I don't think they'll be able to win a second Euro in a row. They don't seem as strong as they used to. Maybe Netherlands. Or some totally unexpected team like Greece in '04. |
| England. It's hard saying that with a straight face, lol. Chances of that happening are slim. And you're right, Spain are not the team they once were, so I don't see them winning. Germany do have a decent chance, as do the Netherlands. And I'd love to see C. Ronaldo cry again when Portugal is knocked out, lol. For me, France are the dark horse in this one. |
|
| Yeah it's finally started! Should be a good tournament as far as predictions go I reckon it will be one of the big three of Spain, Germany or the Netherlands who win but I could see France or England go on to win it through some tight close matches were they get dominated but still somehow win ala Chelsea in this years Champions league. |

| This year would be interesting enough. |
| I thought there was a thread on this already. Well regardless, Poland has been playing well so far and those two yellows on that Greek player were completely ridiculous. |
| want predictions: my predictions: Group A: Russia, Poland Group B: Netherlands, Germany Group C: Croatia Spain (ye, I reckon Croatia) Group D: France, Ukraine/Sweden semifinals: Germany - France Netherlands - Spain finals: uncertain, but my bets will go on Netherlands for their coolest fans that ever existed (well, after Brazil) |

TravSavage said: I thought there was a thread on this already. Well regardless, Poland has been playing well so far and those two yellows on that Greek player were completely ridiculous. Yeah especially the first didn't even seem like a foul, i didn't get what he did. I hope we won't have them helping the home team getting a little further than it could by it's own. We see this phenomenon quite often in this tournaments. The game got more exciting though despite ten players, they even scored. Maybe they got mad or something lol. They where sleeping at first few minutes. |
| Haha oh man what a match. Awesome. |
| This game is crazy lol. Great first match to kick off the Euros. |
| O_O Wow! Penalty and a red one. What was that goalkeeper thinking. Both goalkeepers where awful really. Btw the same guy that put the Greek goal. He proved to be a pain in the ass for Poland. Edit: They lost it. They should have made the little guy that put the previous goal and got the penalty do it. The moment i saw that captain guy i knew he wouldn't put it. He seemed like a too sentimental guy from all his reactions until now on the field. |
| That's typical Arsenal goalkeeping for you. -__- |
| 1x1 in the first match... Waiting for the next match...Russia x Czech Republic.... |
|
| And this concludes the first match of this tournament. Lots of stuff happened and it was quite fun to watch. Have to admit I didn't expect that with these two teams. Let's see what Russia and the Czechs do. |
| Quite exciting match for a first game. 2 goals, 2 red cards, a lost penalty and another slightly disputable goal. |
| 1-1. Fair result for both teams and I expected a draw to happen between the two sides. Russia and Czech Republic should be a great game as well. |
| It could be so beautiful, but is a draw. Teams played the same, so the result is fair. Applause for Przemysław Tytoń. I hope that the Czechs draw with Russia. |
| "Embrace each morning as your last, so you may die in the evening free of regret." |
| Russia 1 !!!!! 14 matches without lose xD |
|
| Not so fast, my friend. 2-1. It's suddenly a game again. |
| I'm rooting for the netherlands:D. But I can't watch tomorrow, Got a party. The finale will be Netherlands versus Spain I hope(Want a remacht) |

Nabi123 said: .........4-1! Man Roman never did that at Tottenham Well once you put that national team shirt on, it can be quite a different story. |
| Damn! I totally didn't expect Czech to get trounced by Russia. |
|
| Interesting match. Both teams played well, but the Russians were better. Roman Pavlyuchenko was a super reserve player. On Tuesday, the Poles play with Russia. It will be hard. |
| "Embrace each morning as your last, so you may die in the evening free of regret." |
| Roman Pavlyuchenko = Ole Gunnar Solksjaer in disguise |

| Russian's playstyle is great. Some passes were simply beautiful. |
 |
| Great day. A first eventful match and a second rich of goals with fast pace match. Russia really pulled a big victory there but in all fairness maybe the score was a little too harsh on the Czech's. They weren't playing that bad. That last goal though, wow! Amazing solo attempt. It might end up being the goal of the tournament. |
| The first day was great, the first match had the drama and the second one had Russia. Today we have the hardest group to be in at this Euro, looking forward to both games. |
 |
| Holy crap, I thought this was starting today. |

| Man, I love the Euro. Best Football competition in the world, imo. The World Cup might attract more people and money but it has several weaker teams and some group matches aren't that great. Plus, every Euro I've seen so far has been good/great, while the only good World Cup I've seen so far was the 2006 one. As for the opening day, it was alright. Greece vs. Poland was fairly entertaining with all the drama, and Russia vs. Czech Republic was average. Today is the group of death, it better deliver. |
 |
| Finally, Netherland vs Denmark. |
| I must admit, I expected Holland to dominate this one. |
| I have a feeling Denmark are going to be the dark horse of this Euro. |
|
| I have a feeling that this Denmark - Holland's gonna be same story as Barcelona - Chelsea or Chelsea - Bayern Munich you'll see |

| Lol dat persie. |
| Alright guys, want my advice? Don't bet on/Believe in: Germany, Holland, Germany, Poland, Croatia, Spain, France. Ever since 2008, each my "important match" guess has failed. Every single team I believed in has failed. 2010 - Holland vs Spain (Wins Spain, I bet on Holland) 2008 - Holland vs Brazil (My bets go on Brazil, wins Holland) 2008 - Germany vs Spain (Bets go on Germany obviously in my case, wins Spain) 2010 - Holland vs Spain (bets go on Holland, wins Spain) 2010 - Uruguay Netherlands (bets go on Uruguay, wins Netherlands) 2012 - Chelsea vs Barcelona/Bayern Munich (no need to comment) 2012 - Holland vs Denmark (Bets go on Holland) I can continue this list forever Every single match has come with a different outcome, so yea, every team I believe will fail this year as well, including my favourites Germany and Holland. I tell yea. Screenshot this and wait till 1st July So yea, I haven't gained pleasure from watching football matches ever since 2006-2007. I guess you could call me a bad luck supporter. |

| Ladies and gentlemen, the Group of Death. |
| Good game. I kinda feel bad for Netherlands, though. They sure tried, but it just wasn't their day. Btw, sucks for Robben. First, he loses the CL final, then he loses in the German Cup final, now this. |
|
| Yeah well if you fail to score you lose. That's how it goes. Good performance by Denmark. Cowabunga said: Btw, sucks for Robben. First, he loses the CL final, then he loses in the German Cup final, now this. Fucker doesn't even have to come back for all I care... |
| Proud of robben. He almost loses everything. Anyway what's next match? |
| That's what happens when you play without a single true forward in your team. Van Wolfswinkel and Dost where? |
calvinklein said: Proud of robben. He almost loses everything. Anyway what's next match? Germany vs Portugal with all my badluck supporting I'd say Portugal rapes Germany |
