Booche Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Classy?? She is a Football Hooligan! Which is PRECISELY why you treat her like a lady and bust out the glass casserole dish. When are you kids going to ever learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I love that Ribery. He was the best French player in the World Cup. The dive factor is not a factor in this match. Pretty entertaining so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I saw a lot of glum faces on The Danforth today (and last night). However, what great atmosphere on the street. Almost every restaurant (and there's upwards of 90 in a 15-minute walk) has the Euro matches blaring on TV - you can walk by any patio and watch or hear the in-progress matches. Great stuff.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 My folks are in Holland now, they were walking down a street during the game on Friday and could tell when the dutch goals were scored from noise levels.and yes i lambasted them for not watching the game themselves.interesting setup for tomorrow though, Van Basten will rest most of the first team i'm sure, the other game will be intriguingcrazy stuff yesterday, can't believe Cech dropped that...

M.O.B.E Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I think its in the Dutchs' best interest to give Romania a chance to go through...Romania win = qualification. If Romania and the Dutch draw and same result from France/Italy, Romania go through. Either way if I was Dutch I would be doing everything I could to pull Romania through. I think we can pretty much write France off but who is to say until 90 minutes is up. Im wishin Hagi was 15 years younger right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.B.E Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Real competitors would rather play agianst real competition, a title means nothing if you beat the worst team available to get it.Not in this game. Real competitors are real tacticians. Is it smarter to take a team through with you who can beat you and has beat you everytime you played them in the last 40 years or take the sure road to the Final. I know if I was Dutch I would have wanted Italy gone. The whole idea of being a competitor is to elimate your closest competition and to do it quickly. Football is like a war...if you want to win the war you have to pick and choose your battles. Italy is never a smart battle to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 The Tim Duncan sports philosophy... easier is better.Maybe that's why I dislike diving. You might win but no one will be cheering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah, I'm thinking of watching this one after the fact. Taping the 2nd half at home anyway, might catch a bit of the 1st downstairs.Shitty I'm going to be away all weekend and will miss most of the other games.

Meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 A better analogy would be the Giants hoping to play the Colts instead of the Pats, which at the time would have been a better prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaningless.My personal experience is you play whoever is placed against you. However there is also some tactical apsects in a tournment like Euro 2008. If you qualify for the next round and a 3rd win will not improve your position for the playoffs your team has EVERY right to rest players. If by chance you loose that game etc Portugal vs Switzerland so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 i think the war analogy has more to do with tactics, not loss of life or anything.the itnerviews i read from van basten leading up to that Romania game had him saying that he didn't want to lose momentum at all. Spain-Italy is looking like a cracknig game- there's loads of history between the two countries with an overarching theme of Spain claiming to play attractive positive fitba while looking down their noses at the Italians despite the Italian history of success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
