The Euro 2008 thread: Spain are European champions

I hope the second half will open up a bit. France really can't be drawing with Romania if they want to get out of this group. -
Is Top Level European Football Boring?
chicago_shearer replied to The College Dropout's topic in Football
First half hour of France/Romania has been boring, that much is for sure. -

Anelka is such a miserable cunt. Everyone else belts out their national anthem and he stands there looking bored. -
Sebastian Larsson - agent confirms NUFC interest
chicago_shearer replied to Captain Underpants's topic in Football
Are people forgetting that we have TWO qualified central midfielders? Butt & Geremi - two past it grandads - on our books and people are acting as if we're too good for him. Rubbish. Deluded. -
Sebastian Larsson - agent confirms NUFC interest
chicago_shearer replied to Captain Underpants's topic in Football
3 or 4 quality players before we sold Emre and apparently decided to cancel Barton's contract. And why isn't Larsson quality? He's a young international with Premiership experience and the most accurate free kick taker in the league. Anyone turning their nose up at this one needs to get a fucking grip. -

More of the same? You want a few more over 30 Championship players like Butt & Geremi? Larsson would be a vast improvement and would offer a lot more on set pieces. Pleased if this happens. -

Been pretty boring. Hoping that the Group of Death will start things up. Germany/Poland was disappointing but surely Italy/Holland will offer something. -

Poland should have scored there. Playing a bit better now. -
We don't need to be finding understudies for Butt, we need to be making him the understudy. I'm not worried about transfers just yet, but the fact that Geremi and Butt are probably the only midfielders we have on the books (assuming Emre is sold and Barton sacked) is terrifying.

Hopefully this next one is a bloodbath. Lots of yellows and reds. -

Shocking that Austria can make Croatia look this ordinary but England made them look fantastic when they had nothing to play for and England's own qualification was on the line. -

This has turned into a repeat of the Swiss match. Austrians more than deserve a goal. -

One of the moments when you regret HD. Pardon the Interruption and Around the Horn on ESPNHD... ESPN2HD. College Basketball on ESPNHD where I am. -
If we sack him then we'll need 3 central midfielders, minimum.

Rae is good, but I don't mind Healy either. Gray has just added a level of professionalism that you don't usually get with Yank football coverage. Really pleased so far.

I have no particular malice against Croatia, but I hope Capello's England thrash this lot in the World Cup qualifiers. They are a good team, but McClaren's incompetence and Paul Robinson flattered them. -

Switched on ESPN this morning to see Andy Gray doing his classic play break down with fancy up-to-date graphics....WTF!....Felt homesick for about 5 secs, well maybe a wee bit longer? It's made the tournament for me. Proper commentary and no stupid Yanks droning on about "ah-sum sah-ker". Come on Turkey. -

Strangely I'm a bit gutted. Swiss should have got at least a point. Anyway, if the Turks can put 3 or 4 past that total c*** Ricardo it will lift my spirits. -
