Postduifje 0 Posted June 7, 2004 I was ashamed to be Dutch after I saw how crap they played (again) Â I wasn't able to see the game, when I came home Frans Bauer was on the field making a ass of himself (as usual). Later on I heared that was the best part of the match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted June 7, 2004 Quote[/b] ]It's not too boring. But it's certainly not as exciting as some other sports out there. (Like the Italian MotoGP. Some of the best riding and one of the most bizarre meetings I've ever seen.) Oh yes, it's far too boring   And I have to say motor racing is my favourite genre. MotoGP is intense and fun with it's constantly change of positions (as is SuperGP) . The very same intense fighting makes European Touring Car Championship just as exciting where my beloved Alfa's beat BMW every year. Let's not forget the World Rally Championship which is getting just as nervebraking exciting this year as it was last year when Petter Solberg won in the end. Then there's the king of motorsport: Formula One. I have followed every season on TV since 1983. I still remember the great fights with Nelson Piquet, Stefan Johanson, Michele Alboretto, Ayerton Senna, Nigel Mansel and Prost - ah those were the days  THAT is exciting - that is drama and love! CUORE SPORTIVO Yes i strongly agree on the Fomula 1 point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cozza 24 Posted June 8, 2004 Football is sooooo boring! It's not too boring. But it's certainly not as exciting as some other sports out there. (Like the Italian MotoGP. Some of the best riding and one of the most bizarre meetings I've ever seen.) But, it must be said that the 'dramatical acting' that is/was rife in professional football has tarnished the image of the game, especially in countries where much harder hitting sports are the dominanting codes. Football is boring cos its not as big in Australia as in Eurpoe. We have AFL. God I love the game and the MCG. (Click my sig for the fight between Essedon and Hawthon). F1s are ok. V8s to.

-33ker 0 Posted June 8, 2004 The game yesterday was crap. Seems Germany vs. Netherlands will be a massacre. I bet it will end with another Dutch player spitting on Rudi Völler. There's an ongoing dispute between the German and Dutch students at my school now. The Dutch are bragging that their team will beat us after they didn't make it to the World Cup two years ago (whis is still a reason to make fun of the Netherlands in Germany ). But the German answer is always that we'll beat them 3:0. Am Ende wechstelt sich Rudi selber ein, wenn wir am verlieren sind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-ZG-BUZZARD 0 Posted June 8, 2004 after Portugal beats Greece ill be banned by Ex-Ronin from these forums...  But seriously, although my country is hosting this championship, my bet for the final is Spain vs England or Italy. This said, Portugal will win, we bought the referees and kidnaped their families  Erm, although high hopes are set on Portugal as to be one of the favourites, I really am not so confident... I mean, our team has lost many good and experienced players, after the debacle in S. Corea the coach was impeached by everyone here in Portugal, but other good players left the team, including FC Porto's experienced defender, Jorge Costa. Fernando Couto, although also experienced and an international player at that, is not as good as the national team's eternal "libero". Well, on the plus side, we've got Scolari as a coach... and Porto won the Championsleague, so morale is not an issue... AND we still have FIGO!!! VIVA PORTUGAL!!!    P.S.: Who else will be banned from the forums besides Bonko, Mig and me? any other "tugas" out there? Heróis do Mar, Nobre povo, Naçăo valente e imoral...

Postduifje 0 Posted June 8, 2004 BUZZARD @ June 08 2004,21:25)]AND we still have FIGO!!! Sorry man, Figo is badly out of shape. The rest of the portugal team is a bit too old. You guys have excellent players, a shame they're not on your national team. But still it's a team not to be underestimated. It's just a shame I think you won't be able to optimally profit from the fact that the rest of europe is out of shape. I kinda sympathise with Portugal since they share a fact with the Netherlands: They always have some of the worlds best players, but they've won Jack shit till now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The English are coming! Â Seriously though, i don't think we'll see a repeat of the scenes above. The police have issued banning orders (and taken the passports) of 2500 or so known hooligans. Natrually, there will be isolated incidents, but i doubt it'll be large scale riots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denoir 0 Posted June 9, 2004 Does anybody know a good site with football stats. I need something that has stats from the qualification matches and preferably as well from previous EC's and WC's?

Germany because of the long odds and excellent tournament pedigree... and England because the financial compensation will help to ease the pain and suffering of them winning!

Yes UEFA has quite alot info about each country and so on. Soccerbase has some sort of history of previous games. (Stats from 1871 to 2004) You can read the stats of individual players as well.

I'm glad that I didn't buy a TV at MediaMarkt... rudi bought one. but this money was wasted: finally germany is in a group with some "real" footballteams (no offense to saudi arabia, cameroon and ireland). this time they won't get to the final without playing against a good team (like in 2002 in japan/s. korea). this time they won't even reach the quarterfinals. the czechs are gonna win it. hopefully. cos they're playing the best football in the last months(/years).
