I cannot agree that we played bad in general. the first 30 minutes were a catastrophe, but the second half was pretty good actually, lacked a finishing touch though.

also, a referee mistake is one thing, these things happen and have happened a few times already on this Euro, but deliberately forging a goal is a completely different one.

Your splitting hairs. You benefited from an incorrect call. The other team benefited from a call that could have gone either way. The guy was clearly tugging on him in the box...so eh...as a non-biased observer I have no problem with the call.

:D:D

you can't honestly say that was a penalty

Gothos you was robbed, makes an interesting group tho

"I think i was a bad person before. Before this time. I do not try to be good now but i am not bad. Perhaps if i try harder i may get a better hand dealt next time? But surely that makes it pointless? Perhaps i am good. Just good at being pointless. But that would make me bad. Bad at having a point. Ah…. I see now. I was nothing before, I am nothing now. I am bad purely because im pointless. "

Missed the Croatia game but well pleased with the result. Watched the Poland & Austria game ....should have been 4.0 to Austria in the first 15 mins but poor finishing. Polish goal(offside) sucked the life from Austrians. Penalty? yes...... agree they arent usually given. All in All an entertaining game and I am enjoying the tournament so far.

Croatia for the final, because all the other teams in that half of the draw (assuming we don't get through by some miracle, of course) are wankers.

Well there are a million Poles here who Im sure he'll have fun avoiding in bars, at any rate.

France Netherlands tonight, should be a cracker, although if Domenech continues to pick Sagnol, Abidal and Thuram, the Dutch should take it easily.

You forgot Malouda.

Why he doesn't play Evra I'll never know.

To be fair if he'd given that to Poland I wouldn't have batted an eyelid, and even if it wasn't a pen, our goal was offside.

We should have tonked this lot, it's no use blaming the ref. When we were in control and dominating the game I was so frustrated that we weren't pushing for another, because we ideally needed a 3-0 win anyway to mean that we only had to get one off Croatia.

If some Pole here attacks him I'll be ashamed.

back to other matters, who do we think for today? a holland and italy victory?
france cant be any worse and italy are going to start del piro and cassono(sp) or so ive heard, they both looked better than most in the last game so it could be a good show!

Italy shouldn't have much of a problem with Romania. As poor as France were, the Romanians still didn't trouble them too much, and Italy's defence, even without Cannavaro, should be solid enough to keep them out. On top of which, they'll be itching to prove themselves are losing to Holland.
The France-Holland game will be closer than people expect, I think. Holland should still win, but it won't be as comprehensive as I've seen some preditions...

ha you knew who i ment and thats the important thing-ive been playing pro evo to much!!!

italy were a tad unlucky against holland, as stupid as it sounds they were, totaly deserved to get beat but 3-0 was harsh also i have no doubt its holland italy who will go through, unless france improve a hell of a lot and holland become really really bad!!

As long as Camoranesi scores a hat-trick, I'll be happy.

Either that, or the Italian defence concedes a ship load and Zambrotta gets sent off. You're welcome, Brood.

The dutch game is gonna make my night though, Im gonna get nice and drunk and hope Van Bronckhorst and Van der Vaart score in a demolition fo the froggies.

if poland cant beat Austria there is no point blaming the ref! up to the goal he told them to cut out the pussing and shoving, some pole then pulls a austria player to the ground and you think thats "destroying a whole nation's hopes for personal gain" you know to a complete unbiased observer that looks like giving a pen were a pen is due!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it wasn't due and you know it

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I have two major issues with that game.

1) Mutu's complete ineptitude at taking pens

2) Toni's shocking inability to put away at least one cross (barring the one ruled out).

Useless.

I did actually think that was a pen though, have a look at Panucci's arm, it's wrapped right around the Romanian bloke's neck and collarbone, you just cant do that these days, especially in a penalty area.
