Had a nice, early chance to score actually.

If McGeady ever gets his act together (unlikely imo) then he could very well be a decent signing. Sounds like it could be a typical O'Neill signing - overpriced and is an Irish/British (ie. domestic) player.

Well, August should be fun. I'd take two points right now tbh. Although I guess we could give Spurs a decent game at St. James' - we can beat anyone there after all...

If that's so, then can see that game being moved for TV.

Aye, definitely deserved to go out - they were pure shite.

That miss sums up Van Persie's tournament.

Unlucky.

CR7 has possibly finished it off.

Nani man.

Would make sense from a marketing perspective... Already got the Korean market cornered with Ji. They're doing their pre-season tour there. Indeed, but the way I see it is that, signing Park Ji Sung could potentially reinforce/strengthen their position in the Korean market.

Great touch initially but as always, Ronaldo is a greedy cunt.

Clive jizzed there.

There he is.

It's going to happen isn't it?

Brilliant goal!

Looks like they're definitely going for it. Make or break really although Holland really should have had that pairing upfront from the beginning.

Yep. Looked decent from what I remember (despite Greece being very anti-football that year). Seitardis was the bomb, looked the part, but didnt he just completely flop not long after that? Not even sure he got injured either, seem to recall some kind of knee injury at somepoint. I didn't really follow his career as such post-Euro 2004 but the fact that he hasn't been heard of since must give some sort of indication of how his career went...

Man City away. I'm actually quite excited about the fixtures announcement btw - it will officially mean the start of pre-season (for me anyway!).

Yep. Looked decent from what I remember (despite Greece being very anti-football that year).

As last night demonstrated, football can be a weird, old game so what I'm going to predict tonight is a 2-0 Holland win which will send them through to the quarters...(I expect a Germany win tonight as well btw). If the Dutch do get through, it will be most undeserved!

The Czech Republic and Greece through ffs! Couldn't make it up.

I wouldn't say depressing but it would be f***ing crazy if Russia get knocked out but heck, that's football for ya!

I would like to add Guy Mowbray, Jonathan Pearce, Mark Bright, Clive Tyldesley, Andy Townsend and Peter Drury to this post. Without a doubt, there's only actually 2 or 3 commentators I can stand. There's also Jon Champion and Chris Waddle who deserve special mention, the twats. I actually don't mind Jon Champion. He always seems to have a good word to say about us.
