The Football.....

england have the ingredients for the 'fairy-tale' winner…

wasted a 'golden generation', lost manager in run-up, best player suspended for two matched, key players injured etc.

remember that recent tournaments have been won by rank outsiders (notably denmark, who received a late entry and went on to win)…

I am convinced that Italy will nail us in the Quarters.

If they don't, then Germany definitely will in the Semis.

Failing that, there's no way we'll beat Spain in the Final.

If we do win the whole thing, all it's going to do is build up expectations for the World Cup in 2014.

Bloody Hodgson.... Can't he think of us for a change?

England have looked no worse than most other teams in this tournament, including Italy. It's only really Spain and Germany that have been better, and even then, not consistently so.

Seem to remember Greece weren't exactly hot favourites.

If only the reverse were true.

Delusionary?
I think he's getting a tad ahead of himself there.

He's got a point though Dan. How many other employers would interview more than one candidate for a job that pays £shitloads p.a?
Oh, hang on a minute...
I hope he does walk away - jumped up twat.

Damn straight rich. Get a grip.

Although I wanted the Czech Rep to win because of Ronaldo, I think it would have been a travasty if they did win, Portugal were the better side by far.

Tonight's match between Germany and Greece (The debt game) could well throw up a surprise. It would be a real laugh if Greece buggered the Krauts in another type of Euro.

 

[Sale Madrid]

The Greeks have had a good run.......none of them have paid any tax for years. As for the football team, they appear to be greater than the sum of their parts....Samaras has got to be the worst player on God's earth and the rest of them aren't much better. (but they are all better than Gerrard...now he is crap)

 

[defy-one]

Lets see the Greeks play now they are behind

Get the funk in!! Pass the ouzo!

Looks like a net trade deficit to me.
