I don't know how it feels when your country wins the EC or WC, but this must be how it feels!

Sweden!

 

[Kenka]

What is the most incredible result, Sweden, France or Northern Ireland so far?

 

[FootballFan]

France really really deserved that goal.

Didi for president.

Yep they really did. Dominated Spain in that second half and had a goal wrongly called off.

 

[keit4]

France was a better team in this second half, deserved draw. Spain was very unlucky with the injuries though.

 

[elsk]

I don't even know what is happening. is this real life?
I've always been a fan of Bengtson, but people don't rate him just because he's not the David Suazo-type of striker. He's a top class finisher.

Mario Martínez is top class, hope I can find a video of his goal later!

Honduras odds were great. Should have taken them. This is your fault elsk.

Never trust elsk

Nani playing shit again, nothing new this season

 

[santi_yo]

JUANFRANCE

 

[Phantast2k]

This game isnt worth talking about, but Neuer had a shocking game. Dont know what's wrong with him.

He likes to lose focus.

 

[Ce-Lin]

hope Spain learn the lesson, that was some childish giveaway by Juanfran, just incredible with only seconds to win the match, Benzema deserved a goal but it's ok, Spain can't win every match I guess.

 

[Lonely1]

Why do people keep saying that Canada is anything but a CONCACAF minnow? :O

 

[rodvik]

He is a beast for Belgium. He just needs to find his form and settle in at Villa. I think that is why Lambert keeps starting him, which I'm okay with.

yeah, I imagine getting service from a world class midfield helps him a lot as well, which sadly he doesnt really get much of at Villa.

 

[Timurid]

People give him far too much shit.

I cant wait to see him in an arsenal shirt again.

 

[Clegg]

Arsenal don't have a very good defence.

The first few games were an aberration and they're back to being a joke again.

 

[spidye]

This game isnt worth talking about, but Neuer had a shocking game. Dont know what's wrong with him.

the whole team refused to play football after the 60th minute.
löw should have strengthened the midfield but instead he subbs out the only offensive midfielder who knows to defend. should have brought höwedes in and not fucking podolski.

 

[jtb]

wat

Kaboul, Gallas, Vertonghen, Dawson, Caulker

BAE, Walker, Naughton, Smith

VS

Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Squillaci (lol), Djourou (double lol)

Gibbs, Sagna, Jenkinson, Santos

Arsenal have some decent defenders but they can't match our options.

I'd say Arsenal have better full backs (esp depth, even if Santos is complete shit), and Spurs have better central defense options. Caulker and Vertonghen in particular look to both be great additions to the first team squad.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Honduras are killing it.

elsk must be like DDDDDDDDDDDD

 

[Salvadora]

Arsenal don't have a very good defence.

Nah

 

[FootballFan]

What is the most incredible result, Sweden, France or Northern Ireland so far?

Sweden without a doubt. Then N.Ireland if they manage to keep it that way. Then France(let's not forgot how many world class players they have).

 

[rodvik]

What is the most incredible result, Sweden, France or Northern Ireland so far?

if NI hold out it would be amazing. But coming back from 4-0 down to germany? Wow.

 

[Blantyre]

Giroooooooo. T___T

Da best.

 

[Hieberrr]

Is the France match over?

EDIT: Yes it is.

 

[Fry]

He likes to lose focus.

Özil is in a different class at the moment, but you can see that Kroos is improving fast, he's got potential to be as good as Mesut, imo.

 

[Blablurn]

 

[K1LLER7]

People give him far too much shit.

He's been unlucky. Like to give him shit tho lol.

 

[fuenf]

He likes to lose focus.

Well, I thought he had it worked out: he was always focused during the Bayern games this season, that's why it surprised me.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

lol we shat the bed alright.

Its aight, France deserved that tie for sure. Fun game.

 

[Clegg]

Nah

Koscielney was decent last season but he's turned shit again and Vermaelen has been rubbish so far.

Mertesacker is too slow to be top class and your fullbacks are crap.

 

[spidye]

He likes to lose focus.

Özil can be brilliant at times but he, reus and kroos tend to disappear after 60 or 70 minutes.

 

[K1LLER7]

Özil is in a different class at the moment, but you can see that Kroos is improving fast, he's got potential to be as good as Mesut, imo.

Mesut is still only 23/24? Gonna be hard to take that CAM position from him if he keeps his good form going.

What's happened to Goetze?

 

[Salvadora]

I just saw Giroud's dick.

 

[BlindCommunication]

He is a beast for Belgium. He just needs to find his form and settle in at Villa. I think that is why Lambert keeps starting him, which I'm okay with.

Just keep hoofing the ball to his head, that's what Belgium does!

Some hilarious results tonight, wonder if someone gambled on Macedonia, North Ireland and Albania winning and Spain drawing.

 

[Awesome Animals]

yeah, I imagine getting service from a world class midfield helps him a lot as well, which sadly he doesnt really get much of at Villa.

Which is why we need Bannan in the midfield!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Koscielney was decent last season but he's turned shit again and Vermaelen has been rubbish so far.

Mertesacker is too slow to be top class and your fullbacks are crap.

Get it right.

"Bosscielny".

:lol

 

[RaGe_pt]

Nani playing shit again, nothing new this season

Shit isn't enough to qualify his game. What a miss now! LOL Postiga is so bad.

 

[Meier]

Put on the Portugal match.. wow, it's a MESS there. Is it pouring over the entirety of Europe at the moment? :O

 

[Hieberrr]

I just saw Giroud's dick.

What the f--- :lol

 

[FootballFan]

Özil can be brilliant at times but he, reus and kroos tend to disappear after 60 or 70 minutes.

That clip is from the Euros and surely it is a known fact by now that Ozil barely lasts past the 65th minute. Stamina/fitness I guess, but that can always be improved.

Dat gif pass is so cool though, bad ass technique.

 

[Zabojnik]

Of course Marchiso would get injured, of course ... FUCK YOU PRANDELLI.

 

[Canis lupus]

Turkey are embarrassing TurkishEmperor.

Do you think I'm supporting this bunch of fucking amateurs?

 

[Salvadora]

Go to the Giroud tumblr if interested.

 

[Phantast2k]

the whole team refused to play football after the 60th minute.
löw should have strengthened the midfield but instead he subbs out the only offensive midfielder who knows to defend. should have brought höwedes in and not fucking podolski.

There were no alts for DM, Westermann plays in CB in Hamburg in like 9/10 games and haven't played in years in the national team - you can't just put him into the DM.
It's Löw's fault, definitely.

Özil is in a different class at the moment, but you can see that Kroos is improving fast, he's got potential to be as good as Mesut, imo.

He will never be world class in CAM, he's not good enough technically/can't dribble for shit.
He would be a great classical CM, alá Zidane, but he's definitely not a DM (deep-laying-pm). We don't have a DM right now, Khedira doesn't play like one (because Löw doesn't want him to).

 

[Kenka]

There is zero explanation as to what happened. It's worrisome to see Germany alternate between greatness and abyssimal performances. I don't understand.

 

[Clegg]

Get it right.

"Bosscielny".

:lol

Someone with the footballing intelligence of a flea doesn't deserve the "Boss" moniker.

 

[kingslunk]

Did germany seriously just collapse at a certain point and give up 4 goals. CMON.

 

[Salvadora]

He touches it as well.

 

[Error]

Xavi is not a player that can play 90 minutes of every game, he looked very tired.

 

[AndresON777]

Bolivia keeper in god mode

 

[Salvadora]

And there's a video of it.

 

[K1LLER7]

Shit isn't enough to qualify his game. What a miss now! LOL Postiga is so bad.

Don't believe Portugal haven't got a better striker than Postiga.

Dat ronaldo skillz.


Jonny Evans has been class.

 

[Canis lupus]

Hungary ate Turkey!

I'm so happy that we lost, national team is just shit. With every loss we're less likely to end in the higher end of the group, thus more likely to wake to fuck up from this slumber.
