Best game so far : Spain/Italy. I hope Spain makes it and i am sure Torres will overcome his sexual problems and score :lol:

Overall i am pretty disappointed by the games so far - i fell asleep during some of them.... :eyes: :lol:

Looking forward to France vs. England today.

Could it be true that England has NOTHING better than Young and Milner in those positions? Why would anyone play Malouda? Could it be that England finally has a goalkeeper?

France had some interesting tactic movements that unfortunately didn't really do anything (obtaining position on the left and having that player do a diagonal to the right side of the area, without the ball, and then going back to the left behind the defenders). Both teams were pretty solid, in spite of a more boring 2nd half.

I love Parker.

Was confused during the whole game, cause due to the jerseys I thought the ukrainian players were Swedes. It's been a boring game though.

Really? I thought it was quite enjoyable.

Lots of action and both teams really going for it

I stopped watching that game at half-time. Before the match I thought it was going to be the most boring so far and I think I was right. Two teams basically relying solely on one player (Ibra and Sheva, respectively.) Saw the goals last night... god damn Sheva can deliver!

Poland vs. Russia today should be entertaining...

Pfff, Russia was dissapointing. I might take back that they'll win this tournament.

Great goal from Poland

Well, Denmark still has a small chance. They are fighters. :thumb:

Good game from Germany. Was totally shocked by the Netherlands. Without emotions, no fighting, seemed like they took it as a friendly game.... :noclue: really disappointing.

Netherlands has definitely been a letdown. No hunger. And Germany was outstanding. It's great seeing Schweinsteiger approaching his level of class.

And Juana... have you seen recent Brazil games? It's pretty much a mess. It's been a long time since I've seen some real jogo bonito (probably when Romario was still active in his national squad.) Neymar has some talent, but not enough. Ganso has promise but spends too much time injured... which doesn't allow him to get some real form.

I'm hoping today Spain shows its quality.

Actually no but I usually pull for them in the World Cup. I went to a few matches when I was living in Honduras and traveled to Brazil. Its actually ironic because I'm technically a dual citizen of US and France but I don't follow the US or French national teams. I think its more about the passion down there.

Only reason I was talking about Brazil is I have no idea who is good in the Euro 2012. :lolol:

I think I would pay more attention is Messi was playing over there which I know he plays for Argentina. He is a monster.

Spain is awesome. The only possible weak point could be Arbeloa against Portugal (Cristiano Ronaldo) or Russia (Arshavin).

Spain's midfield is fucking unbeatable. Sergio Busquets' timing and positioning have no equal, and the fucker is like 21 years old!

And even though I hate Torres in Chelsea, I'm kinda glad he's scoring. He was fucking class 4 years ago.

Spain made over 800 passes in last night's game. The only way England could make that many is if we enter Wayne Rooney on Mastermind.

Goddamn, one of the matches I missed, and it was a good one.

The Croatia game was kinda boring, don't even remember who they played against
