Fucks sake. Czechs have been shit.

A bit unfair. Might not be up to Spain & Portugal standard, but they've played some good one touch stuff.

Frei in tears, obviously something serious. That's us fucked then.

Fuuuuuuck. Close.

Got my Swiss shirt on. Any reason for the Swiss? Pavel Srnicek is mine. I lived there for a year.

Got my Swiss shirt on.

Great run from Behrami

Kobi Kuhn (Swiss manager who looks like Jack Lemmon) gets replaced by Ottmar Hitzfeld after the tournament.

Swiss have a very young squad. Barnetta, as you said, Derdiyok, Vonlanthen....Man City's Gelson. Could surprise some people.

This opening ceremony is like an acid trip.

COME ON SWITZERLAND ESPN's analysis team: Andy Gray & Julie Foudy.

Not worried in the slightest. We could have 5 signings lined up or all we know. The media are either ignorant or liars most of the time, and when we do get someone in it will come out of the blue no doubt. I'm confident that Keegan, Ashley, Wise & co. have enough sense to know that we need big changes and are planning accordingly. And I'm also confident that they are grown men and not squabbling teenagers, and that any differences in transfer policy will be resolved amicably in the best interests of the club. I'm enjoying the European Championships, enjoying my summer and reserving all worry and angst until at least August. Newcastle ruin enough weekends during the season, don't get wound up during the summer too.

It also has Liverpool offering £10 million for Milner. Tom "I have achieved albsolutely nothing, and no sign at all of fulfilling my potential" Huddlestone. Jenas won't be pleased that Huddlestone is using his nickname.

Next stop Toronto I would imagine.

This thread could do with a few more indecipherable Turkish rumours. http://www.futbolyorumlari.com/ Galatasaray’dan Arda Turan açıklaması :’Satılık Değil’ Does satilik degil mean "for sale"?

I could easily see Arsenal getting in there if Villa's available, maybe Man Utd too. And that's just in England. It will be interesting to see if Berbatov stays though. I reckon that in in the interests of staying competitive with our main rivals we should publicize a massive 20-25 million bid and play the stalking horse on Berbatov. Like we did with Rooney. Get him on the market and make them spend big to replace him.

Turkey v. France in the final, Bond girl on penalties.

GK: Buffon (Ita) D: Lahm (Ger) D: Mellberg (Swe) D: Zambrotta (Ita) M: Sneijder (Net) M: Kranjcar (Cro) M: Iniesta (Esp) M: Nasri (Fra) F: Gomez (Ger) F: Frei (Sui) © F: Benzema (Fra) Sub: Carvalho (Por) I'd love to give that team a go on FM.

Manager of Mexico is a dream job tbh. Millions of dollars, lay on a beach in Cancun all day, beat Barbados 5-0, back to beach, turn up for the World Cup every four years, go out in the quarter finals and everyones happy. Just have to make sure you don't lose to the US.

The PremiumTV contract isn't up until 2009 I thought. After that we might get a proper website like every other decent club in the Premiership.

we need both to be honest We'd be far better off going into next season with Owen, Martins & Viduka than with Butt, Geremi & Barton (if he even makes parole). I take your point...we could do with replacing Viduka with a target man...but we desperately need midfielders whereas a new striker would be a secondary priority.

I wish we'd start getting linked with attacking central midfielders instead of strikers.

What did he say?
