Actually thinking about it, Pepe Red Card may be the best bet of this match

For comparison (have no idea how this will turn out), trying to gauge some sort of 'strength of opposition' metric... Spain Opponents' Win % +GS (GS/game) 1-1 Italy DDWD 25% 4 (1) 4-0 Ireland LLL 0% 1 (0.3) 1-0 Croatia WDL 33% 4 (1.3) 2-0 France DWLL 25% 3 (.75) Portugal Opponents' Win % +GS (GS/game) 0-1 Germany WWWW 100% 9 (2.25) 3-2 Denmark WLL 33% 4 (1.3) 2-1 Holland LLL 0% 2 (0.6) 1-0 Czech Republic LWWL 50% 4 (1) Looks like they both beat the worst performing teams at the tournament (Ireland and Holland) but Portugal ran into the best team of the tournament whereas Spain have played 3 'average' teams. I think you're being a bit harsh on Italy (they are arguably better than Portugal) but I see the point. I just think Portugal are vulnerable in defence where as you will be lucky to forge more than a couple of decent opportunities in 90 (or 120) minutes against Spain. I cannot see Ronaldo having the same freedom to terrorise either if the majority of El Classico matches are anything to go by. I hope Portugal do win it like, but I think it'll be another 1/2-0 to Spain with Portugal playing the same game they did against Germany.

59/41 then. Either way there isn't much wrong with the spain odds, they've rarely been troubled in 4 games and have scored goals without a striker even being on the pitch.

Portugal are worth a bet, no way at all it's anywhere near 50/50 though.

:lol:

How would Drogba get any PR benefit from this? They could have paid him like, obviously, but his reputation in China would hardly have been boosted by him agreeing a deal and then fucking off.

I'm guessing Rob Elliot is pissed like “@antpayne77: @the_dilsh lol douchebag? You call it soccer as well?” of corse my Job is to reject goal attacks

If he felt the need to comment on the money then i'd prefer him to just say "yeah i'm obviously gutted about losing £400k, but even more so about the 12 game ban", he tries to come across as some wise guy who just tells it how it is but he's far from it.

Yeah, we're canny shite like

Probably just stage 3 of his mutation, he'll grow a fin next.

I had to scroll down to that, fucking lost it at the bottom

You probably do tbh, I havn't read or heard anywhere that clears it up though so i'm just assuming Sewelly, give me the answers.

Awful that like, RIP

I don't know if all nations do this, but one thing I never understand is why we seem to have our most composed takers kick first and tail off. The first penalty should always be taken by your main penalty taker like as it sets things in motion for the rest, but when it comes down to "miss and you're out" you don't want Ashley Cole taking it ffs, you want someone like Rooney to step up. I would have even sent Joe Hart down to take a kick before Ashley Young, it was fucking obvious he was going to miss. This is unless you have to name your kickers to the referee (you don't have to as far as i'm aware?).

Tbf they do have a point, Catts would probably have shattered Pirlo's ankle within 20 minutes. We'd have been down to 10 men like.

Only 4 teams in Europe can laugh at us tbh

His competitiveness certainly shines through EDIT: That video

Pata has just raped this thread like

I think the mad cunt beating the offside trap with ease would have had something to do with it. There was a few periods where we looked dangerous going forwards but Italy would just cut us apart with a ball over the top.

In all honesty, would we really want to sacrifice our league for the England national team? Fuck that.

So erm, why the fuck was Downing even on the plane?

By Zidane in a World Cup final for one. World Cup FINAL? Really? 1998? Nah, Italy in 2006, it was in normal time though. Bar and in.

The plus point is that I now have 3 possibly very good games to watch this week, I don't think I could have sat through another 90-120 minutes of that.

y runeldo Fucking hell man

He knows Hart is going to dive though so he was pretty much free to take the piss, which he did.
