Next game is in ~50 minutes right?

45 minutes yes

 

[Funky Papa]

So how many matches will this referee lead? He really should stop already.

Portugal - Holland pls

 

[Hixx]

Next game is in ~50 minutes right?

Yep, Russia v Czech Republic.

 

[Kabouter]

That was a really fun match, been a while since we've had an opening match as entertaining as this one.

Portugal - Holland pls

 

[bjaelke]

Gonna be hard to top that game for sheer entertainment.

Higher quality and fewer mistakes expected.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Oh well, in Dick we trust.

That's Wilburys motto.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Greece could definitely have won that match, so many times.

what a great man he is.

 

[krishian]

That was a far more entertaining opening game than I expected, great start to the tournament!

Also, Citta already fucked up. He's no Paul, that's for sure!

 

[dc89]

Just seen the penalty decision. It's a harsh red card but a nailed on pen.

 

[Arjen]

Well, that was definitly an entertaining start.
Fuckin love the Euros

 

[Blablurn]

i dont like russia. and i dont like the czech republic who to support?

im expecting a 4:4 though

 

[mocolostrocolos]

So, the pig has failed in his prediction.

Paul, we miss you.

 

[Jal]

1-1 bore draw lets hope the next one ends 4-3.

500 bucks gone down the toilet. Should I play another bet for the next greek match? Probably much less though

The ref?

Scezney was awful today.

You shouldn't bet in a while.

I'm going with the czechs. Superior beer.

I thought that was prepubescent not old and wrinkly?

 

[SunhiLegend]

Missed it live.

 

[Sveitadurgur]

Russia will steamroll this group. Czech's should keep their cool and finish both Poland, who must be very low on confidence now, and Greece, who lost 2 cb's in this match and had their flaws exposed today.

 

[Blablurn]

The ref?

i hope he is as entertaining as the spanish one just now

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

good stuff, good stuff, great Euro 2012 opener, can't complain.

For those of you who are giving the ref grief, although he made some stupid decisions in the first half ( that seond yellow card was BS) I think he managed to ref ok the second half, specially considered how rough both sides were playing, all that tackling and shoving and everything.

 

[GroteSmurf]

4points woohoo

 

[Meier]

I really need to find out what his meme means.

I don't get it at all..

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Poland you blew that match.

Both teams did.

 

[Ciastek3214]

I don't know about Czech Republic, I'm pretty positive, but not certain that Poland will win against them, so maybe?

Just don't bet on Greece. Shit can go either way with them. Bet on a bunch of sure things for the rest of the tourney and try and get your $500 back lol

I guess nothing is really a sure thing in tournaments like this. Especially with refs like this.

This is why I don't bet.

Oh god it looks like the security guy is wanking :lol

It'll be Howard Webb. I like him.

 

[sixghost]

Just seen the penalty decision. It's a harsh red card but a nailed on pen.

By what logic was it not a red? The player touched the ball past the goalie and he was taken out.

 

[Clydefrog]

czech republic 0 - 0 russia

book it

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

Fuck I hate that greece captain. He's more on the ground than anything else. Him looking like a gypsie that would harass you at a club doesn't help either.

Coming from somebody with a grasp of the written English language resembling that of Gypsy, brave words indeed.

Man that penalty must have been excruciating :lol

 

[Oxx]

Shocking second half from Po Po.

Bet more this time.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Greece is gonna fuck up Czech

 

[dc89]

The first match we've seen hopefully is a indication of the entertainment coming our way.

I genuinely hope there are no more incidents involving racism as the football deserves to be talked about, not the morons who want to ruin it for others.

 

[Nevasleep]

Bet more this time.

Exactly, double up.

Progressive betting bro, $1000 for the next match.

 

[Funky Papa]

Get ready

I wonder what the chick with the large ass does?

 

[dc89]

By the rulebook the ref is right to send him off, but it's a really harsh rule in my eyes. I've seen worse and the keeper or defender stay on the field with a warning.

 

[gate777]

Lucky Poland, veeeery lucky. A non-existent off side save your asses. I won't even mention the penalty.........

Hah! he's probably screaming! "I made the right choice!" or the English slang "That's what I'm talking about!"

That better not be Eva Carniero...

 

[Deleted member 81567]

The draw was fair. Each team had a strong half

 

[criesofthepast]

Greece could have easily won this. With everything that happened, they must be feeling pretty good going forward.
