Dunno why but Portugal - Holland games always degenerate into battlefields.

Guess we could blame Dutch pirates for raping Ronaldo´s long lost cousins in Madeira... that one holds a grudge :)

Aaaand here we are. Sigh, so sad. Deservingly though, we played a horrid horrid second half so it is understandable that Czechs won easily.

4 red cards and 17 yellows .. those where the days. We have something to live up to tonight.


^^ Wiki.. lol, 10 minutes of actual play. Ticket money well spent. Thanks F#A#Oo and Kem0sabe for clearing that up.

still blows my mind that poland couldn't go through with that squad in their own turf.
manager's fault?

Hell knows. We had terrible problems with endurance. Every match was the same. About 20-30 minute burst and then absolute opposite. We dominated the first half with Greece and Czech and second with Russia. But on half is not enuogh.

the odds for Germany winning are going down.

From 1.75 yesterday to 1.55 today. I guess more and more people are betting on Germany.

I assume Wes quote is not about our upcoming match but about the European Championship as a whole perhaps? Can't find it in the Swedish press :p

You had to ruin it didn't you?

I don't disagree with him...but the nature of the media is to hype things up and write big headlines...sensationalist headlines = more copies+more talk+more advertising.

Buffon wants the media to write only positive things with regards to football and to ignore the negative stuff...he doesn't get it goes both ways. He wants it one way.

I understand, I just don't get why you're upset if you agree with him. Someone had to say it while the media was busy with Del Biscotto puns and biscuit photoshops.

In the end, he wasn't speaking on behalf of anyone (even though he can), it was just his opinion.

I'm not upset...I just feel Buffon needs to shut up from time to time. Just because I agree with him doesn't mean I'm ok with him speaking...

He should put his energy into getting Prandelli to stop playing Giaccherini on the left...Balzaretti should be there. :(

He will play, he actually confirmed that he's going to keep on playing for the national team which I did not expect.

Fuck, that's bad news.

Meh, I think he has been decent this championship. He's never going to reach his potential in the national squad but I'd argue that without him we would have been a weaker team (however I'd gladly see some other attacker step up their game and take his spot).

What are you doing here? You should be preparing tonight's match!

Andrei Arshavin has reportedly said this to Russian fans at the airport: "It's not our problem we didn't meet your expectations. It's your problem."

Oh well, polska :(
We have a giant "Volksfest" (i googled it, its the correct term :p) currenty in my town with food-stands from all over the world. Went to get me some Pierogi and Bigos after the match. It was raining hard and you could just feel the sadness all over the polish folks. :(

As for today, id love to see a 1:1 between schland and danmark (i recently heared that living where i am i can proclame myself into a dane any time).
