IsthatyouJohnWayne 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Well that was gruelling (in the extreme). The referee was not the best. Disallowing the goal was harsh. England are cursed. Both teams produced a great match, if tactics were flawed there was no lack of dedication. I am trying to forget all about it and stay subdued so thats all i have to say. Actually although der bastler managed to find the one outbreak of significant violence by England fans (which took place in the UK) that i have seen reported, the good news is that in Portugal there appears to have been little trouble around the stadiums. The World Cup and now the Euros, id say international English hooliganism seems fairly under control nowadays . The actual English fans (the ones who went to matches) in Portugal have largely been fantastic (i dont think anyone was more enthusiastic and vocal in their support). Good luck to the Greeks. I dont think the French have been playing that fantastically so we might as well see all the favourites knocked out now (not that i saw England particularly as favourites, we're always best off starting as underdogs ), then anything can happen. France will probably win (where is the sigh of resignation smilie ?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted June 25, 2004 (i dont think anyone was more enthusiastic and vocal in their support). The Netherlands are a little more vocal (especially during the playing of the anthems) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bmot 0 Posted June 25, 2004 sure, the french will win. But will they eat the cup in the end? Being danish, I cant say that i'm sorry to see England leave the Euro 2004, as I'd rather meet the cz or France then England in the final match. But to see France take the cup once againg (if it comes 2 that) is somehow boring, I dont even think they care about it themselves anymore, lol  Personally, Im looking forward to the day all the "old" french players say g'nite and leave the stage to a new generation. Hopefully they'll end up with a team like the germans, hehehe Denmark, on the other hand, has a very solid team this year... Folks like Jon Dahl, Sand, etc.  and our keeper, Thomas Sorensen. Yet still, our team is not even in this thread's poll.... you all just wait & see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted June 25, 2004 The French look like they just can't be bothered to play football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Shots on Target (Greece): 4 Shots on Target (France): 1 France can not be bothered at all, Greece are playing spirited pressing with great tackles. The counter attacks aren't that threatening yet, but that will improve I reckon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denoir 0 Posted June 25, 2004 The French look like they just can't be bothered to play football Exactly. What complete shite game on their side. I hope Greece kicks their ass  And Santini looks equally bored and does not seem to interested in any coaching of his team. We've seen this before. Against England. Against Croatia. Goals only from corners and penalties, never from play. They have some excellent individuals in the team. They are technically great as a team, but their tactics is FUBAR. I can't believe I'm watching this French crap on midsummer eve. I've got better things to do then watch them do backpasses for 90 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laulau 0 Posted June 25, 2004 i feel like Denoir's prediction rate will go down tonight. And i'm not happy about it.... i can't stand the pressure!!!!! EDIT: And please, Santini, PUT SAHA ON THE FIELD!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
