WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 well that was cack. The Polish didn't seem to care that we were begging for them to lose. We opened the windows, and turned the telly up full blast when the German national anthem came on, and went nuts for their 2 goals. They were out in the back garden, and probably heard us, but were to busy fannying on having a BBQ. I think they're not interested in football which means we won't have got to them, and they'll continue to blast out the Polish and Albanian Eurovision entries from 1996 24/7 still.

nazza06 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 First 4 games, in my opinion, have shown how important it is to have a goalscorer in your team if your going to get anywhere in this tournament. Switzerland, Austria, Turkey and Poland all looked decent enough and created opportunities but didn't have anyone in the final third to finish off a good move. I can see Romania turning out a bit of a shock because they seem to be one of these teams like the above, but with Mutu they have a quality striker. Think Portugal might struggle in the latter stages due to their lack of a prolific striker, their midfielders will see them through to the Semis though I reckon. On the other hand, Germany have 3 strikers on the pitch at the same time, all of whom have good goal records. Think that could make the difference.

Might as well play Ronaldo in the middle and play either Nani or Quaresma wide. He'll not beat a real quality fullback with skill or pace but he'll fuck a lot of defenders aerially.

Offshore Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I've won £80 from the first 4 matches and sticking a straight £50 on France...they'd better not f*ck up. Risky if you ask me, Romania are a good team and will keep it tight. Thinking of putting a tenner on Romania to qualify out of their group. Would laugh me tits off if two of the 'big' teams didn't make it through.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 just looked at Lukas Podolski`s goal record for Germany - 27 goals in 49 games (add 2 more if Wikipedia has not been updated?).....and he`s still only 24. Phonomenal record. Shearer didn`t manage that until he was 30 plus! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
