European Championship 2008

As I said, not as if it really annoys me, it's all about Orange baby.

Turks, Russian or Italians...bring em all on.

I love the mood in the country right now, it's simply amazing.

Mmm... I see Netherlands vs Spain...

I predict Holland - Italy. There's something wrong with Spain, I don't know, I don't really see them as a winning team. Plus I want to re-live the joy of seeing Italy lose against Holland.

Anyway, I agree with Jackal (even though I'm not Dutch nor even remotely linked to the Netherlands): bring them all on. I'm 101% sure the Orange are gonna win this thing.

On a side note, I'm also predicting Germany-Holland in the competition's final. Can't wait for that, it's gonna be one awesome match.

omg
good bye Holland

omg
good bye Holland

Haha

omg
good bye Holland

Haha

What?



Man, Jackal has to be a sad man. First the Lakers, now the Dutch.

Turks and Russians in the semis. What's up with this Euro Cup anyways?

wow 3-1... this is shocking.

Un-fucking-believable. They did not deserve to pass but they played better so kudos. What was up with Holland tonight? And how did the Russians keep running like that for 120 minutes?

What the heck happened with the Holland´,who played in the groups? They just didn´t play their game.

Mmm... Spain vs Russia...

And I hate Russia - they flopped too much and played just like Spurs...

Why are you assuming Spain's going to pass?

played just like Spurs...

Why not is very good team

Well, 'Oranges' sucked tonight and Russians showed that they are the better team. They flat out dominated and deserved to win.

I hope seeing a Turkey-Russia final. I dont think Italy or Spain is gonna bother Russia but I'm worried about Germany.

They are the better team? I'm sorry but I don't recall them playing three flawless games in the group stage. They didn't play flawlessly tonight either. In fact they were just better prepared physically and that's what allowed them to win.

I agree they deserved to win this game, but considering how extremely well Holland played the previous three games (and how badly Russia handled them) I think the Dutch deserved to pass to the semifinals.

And, no offense, Turkey-Russia would be the worst imaginable final in the history of this competition.

Responding to your last statement, you have to be nuts to think Russia is going to pass to the finals so easily, considering Spain already beat them. 4-1 to be exact...

OK. Russian did play well offensively. But defensively they were tackling hard. Also, they flop a lot. It reminds me of Manu flopping and Horry pushing Nash to the sideline - that's why I say they were like Spurs.

Anyway, Netherlands missed their chances like 3 times when Van der Vaart's free kick curled in. The players got rid of their markers but failed to head to ball.

Kolodin's long shot was top class though, so was Pavlyuchenko's shot.

Then the defenders failed to keep Torbinski away from the ball and scored the 3rd goal of Russia.

The ref was a bit biased though.

Oh how somber the mood will be the coming few days.

Oh well...

I agree they deserved to win this game, but considering how extremely well Holland played the previous three games (and how badly Russia handled them) I think the Dutch deserved to pass to the semifinals.

I dont see how russians played bad sweden or greece. greece was just trying to end the game scoreless, so it seemed like a bad game but they were better than spain against sweden.

And, no offense, Turkey-Russia would be the worst imaginable final in the history of this competition.

not for turks or russians

He's neither, so the statement stands.

Yeah, Turkey was amazing.

Fuck, now I feel hungry after reading that.

I felt what Laker fans now feel when Portugal got eliminated.

But that sadness was replaced by anger after watching what Russia did.
I mean, common, what the fuck, it's Russia, how did they win like that. They must be on crack or something.

The ref was biased, and they flop.

Anyway, Spain will kill them soon. Italy is nothing.

WOOT! My 888th post!

Oh my... First Portugal.. Then Coratia and now Holand.. Oh man.. Now i hate the teams that eleminated my favourites.. Esp Turkey.. If it wasn't the ref.. They were going to suck it all.. Damn Do you sow how the Coratia's Players crying.. Wow i felt really bad.. Now with Holland.. DAMN...
Hope Spain willl kick the ass of the fucker Italy..

Yeah, Turkey was amazing.

Fuck, now I feel hungry after reading that.

you felt Hungary?

man, I don't even know who's still in it... I hope italy does not win it though.

Nice little fact, every second place of the group phases won their quarters so far.
So good chances for Italy today

Q, The first semi stands: Germany - Turkey, the second semi will be Russia against either Italy or Spain.

Spain is much better, especially when Italy is playing without Pirlo and Gattuso.

I'm actually rooting for Italy tonight. It'll be hard without the only actual talent in the team (Pirlo) but considering how lucky we've been so far, I think it's do-able.

Anyway, what's important is that whoever passes takes down the Ruskies.
