Wullie Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Nice comment from Shearer! What'd he say? I wasn't really paying attention but one of the other pundits said he'd be claiming a penalty if he had the shot Henry had that was blocked and Shearer was like 'No, I'd have hit the net'! Class.

johnnypd Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Nice comment from Shearer! what did he say? got to be better than the ESPN panel "netherlands opened the scoring in the first stanza" what next? 'a great piece of dramatic irony there by van der vaart' Don't act like that "It's a Dutch oven and the French are toast!" line wasn't great. think the two commentators are alright, just the presenter and that perpetually shaking leprechaun bloke do my head in ,and the woman doesn't seem to have a great deal of knowledge about players.

Parsley Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Superb match, great stuff with Holland cruising then France pulling one back only for the Dutch to smack them in the bollocks a minute later, great to watch. Holland definitely have my vote for the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 got to say i've never seen ribery do anything for france that suggests he's anything more than a french aaron lennon, who is really just a fast James Milner (with a bit better skill). not saying he is that bad like, apparently he was magic last season for bayern, i've just never seen him produce much.

toonarmy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 what happens if holland wins 3-0, and italy and france tie 0-0 (all possible)? 3 way tie at the bottom, tied on GD, Goals scored and goals allowed, and all 3 tied each other. hope that happens, just to see pure insanity.

Agree, thought he looked class in both games. He's carrying this French team tbh, they seem to rely solely on him to make something happen. agree. problem with the french seems to be that they have no shape or system to their play. henry is up by himself and spends half his time wide left, ribery is in a free role and wanders around everywhere, so you have malouda and govou on the flanks crossing to no-one in the box. doesnt help that makelele and toulalan dont create anything or ever get forward.

Mr. Snrub Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The Italy match was good too. How unlucky was Luca Toni.. and not just for the blatantely onside goal. He looked class, would be great in the Prem. And the stadium in that match really made me think of Usa 94. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Im a Inter fan, bloody hates Juventus, but Del Piero is a pure legend and is not allowed to be hated upon! Yeah it only took him 7 years to play to an acceptable standard after that injury! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, thought he looked class in both games. He's carrying this French team tbh, they seem to rely solely on him to make something happen. carrying the french team out of the euro's? no french attacker looked class against romania btw. he seems very limited to me. he's fast, and quite a good dribbler, but for someone rated so highly, i'd expect to see a bit more. he seems very technically limited, and he doesn't have a vey good footballing brain. i'm not saying he's a terrible player, but when a team such as romania sits back, and he cant use his pace he's not nearly as effective. with france playing 2 dm's against romania, and malouda being shite, ribery was their only real hope of linking defence and attack, but he wasn't inventive enough or skillful enough to cause romania many problems. i'm not saying he's a bad player, because lennon is a good player, but for someone who's constantly raved about, i'd rather have moutinho or quite a few others before him.

Dave Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Why the hell hasn't anyone been updating the title? Amateurs I tells ya. Ribery was good tonight, impressed with him. The Dutch will take some stopping, at no point did they have anything other than a positive attitude towards the game. 1-0 up with half an hour to go, and they still had RvN, VdV, Sneijder, Van Persie and Robben all on the pitch at the same time. Quality stuff, that's what football is all about. Got to say though, the French keeper had a fucking mare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
