Unbelievable

only if Poland win by a big margin. Not likely..

Both managers sent off..

Germany being outplayed by the 98th nation of world football..

Go Austria! Could do with Holland not having to face Germany.. Same goes for Portugal.

Your far too sensible for these shores. How I wanted us to sign Bentley after his first stint at Norwich, but it was the same type of things being said about Guthrie and Larsson now. There is no guarantee these players will become as good as Bentley, but it is well worth taking a flier on a few of these types of players due to their reasonably cheap prices and potential for improvement. I'm all in favour for getting Larsson because with him I have seen the potential. With Guthrie, there isn't one moment from last season I can recall where he made a lasting impression. Have I not been paying attention, or are we advocating just siging ANY young English midfielder with Premiership experience because they might become a world beater? Have you seen much of Bolton from Holland? Because I live in England and I can't particularly say that I've seen enough of them to judge any of their players. I have seen a fair bit. I have Sport1, the Dutch equivalent to Sky Sports. They have 8 sports channels and if need be (Saturday 3pm) they are all used for Premiership matches. I haven´t paid particular attention to Bolton, but depending on the opposition I have seen a fair few games from then, as well as watching MOTD whenever I can. All I´m saying is I barely know his name, which wouldn´t be the case had he done anything of note this season past. Again, I may have completely missed the surgence of a top talent in English football, but I would like to think I would have taken notice instead of wondering who he is again when we are linked with him, and this seems to be the case for the majority on here.

indeed as for Turan, it seems to me he's just playing the right way.. direct and effective without too much of the fancy step-over s*** from what i've seen so far, i wouldn't say that he's much better technically than Milner, but it seems to me that he's a clever player and knows how to keep the ball and attack in an efficient manner BLIMEY!

This ref has gone mad in the last ten minutes..

Wtf..

great, great goal

Hahahahaha

Hahahaha

Well done. Didn't expect that.

Great stuff again from Arda. We'll regret not signing him before the tournament I'm afraid..

Arda scores!

Def should have been a penalty

Czechs should have made it 3

PLasil scores for the Czechs!

Koller really should have scored there..

This was over a year ago, since then he's been playing regular Premiership football. You do know that you have to build from somewhere if you're going to become a Champions League club, a reliable young English player, with potential to improve really wouldn't be a bad acquisition, providing you don't pay more then £2/£3M for him. Who knows, in a better side, with players providing more intelligent play he may become even better. Don't be silly. He's a top four reject and everyone knows we're bigger than Barcelona. Should be in for Ronaldo not this s**** tbh. Fair enough. It just shows you how overpriced English players are when we're talking 2/3 million for a fairly promising 21 year old midfielder who hasn't shown much to suggest he can cut it at the top level but has some experience in the Premiership with a lower table club. That sort of money would buy you an awful lot more talent for your money on the continent. Van Persie and Van der Vaart went for that sort of money not long ago, and there's bargains to be had if you know where to look.

Nani should have scored..

Which may come in handy if this is the level of player we are targetting..

FT. So the current title holder gets eliminated after just two matches.. A first?

Pavluchenko playing well as the lone striker holding the ball up.

I'm quite impressed by the Russians so far. They played good attacking football vs Spain but were undone by the pace of Torres and Villa. They are looking good today as well. Some very technically astute players in their team, and from what I'm seeing they have more about them than Sweden, except for a striker in the Ibrahimovic bracket..
