[SPORTS] Euro 2008

[Memento Mori]

What do people make of the weekends events?

Disappointed Scotland didn't make it through?
Ecstatic that Israel beat Russia, doing England a favour.

What about any other European nations? How did your team fare?

[MiG]

said all along that israel wouldn't lose
was more confident of that, than usto beat croatia, but the opportunity is there now

i dont knowabout scotland, mixed feelings i would have liked to see them involved butthe fact they hate us so much, fuck em, they're shite

[Memento Mori]

13th in the world isn't shite. Disappointed that Scotland didn't qualify, seeing as now we're more likely to qualify than not (not that we deserve it). If they had qualified, and we hadn't, it would have been a different story.

[MiG]

world rankings doesn't mean a thing

[Memento Mori]

Aye, that is true. But seeing as at one point they were below the Faroe Islands, it shows they've got a whole lot better.

[MiG]

that it does, and yeh they have, but good enough to actually qualify from that group? as well as they did, who were they kidding

[TombStone]

Holland qualified fairly easy. Would've liked to see Scotland win but you can't have em all. They had their chances though, goddamn.

[MiG]

LOL hahaha

[Noone]

Croatia FTW...

haha.

everybody knows what happened today

[Memento Mori]

Yeah. I was saying at the SU that there are three outcomes from the game yesterday.

We qualify, McLaren stays - Good.
We fail, McLaren leaves - Okay.
We fail, McLaren stays - Bad.

[TombStone]

Though it's it's sad that England didn't make it, it's amazing how Hiddink did it again with Russia. Now we got 3 Dutch coaches on the tournament (Van Basten, Hiddink & Beenhakker (Poland)).

[Noone]

It isnt sad England didnt make it...

lol

[ErrolFlynn]

Though it's it's sad that England didn't make it, it's amazing how Hiddink did it again with Russia. Now we got 3 Dutch coaches on the tournament (Van Basten, Hiddink & Beenhakker (Poland)).

It's too bad we're stuck with the worst of the 3 ourselves :o

[TombStone]

hahaha yeah. I still have some hope left though. Any coach that can make these goals deserves some respect.

[ErrolFlynn]

There's a difference between a coach and a player but I'm not really much of a Van Basten hater. If you look at the young players he started with and where they were at that time, and look where they are now it's pretty amazing most of them are playing for big clubs now.

The only thing I hate to see is Van Der Vaart on the right wing...

[TombStone]

Van Persie wil be taking that spot by then i hope.
I hate to see Emanuelson on leftback instead of De Cler, and Heitinga and Mathijsen are shit too, he should replace them with Boulahrouz and Ooijer. Babel hasn't shown any value either and look at how many forwards we have to replace him. I think we need a coach that can make a team enjoy playing the game like Foppe De Haan or Bert van Marwijk, not some dude who switches systems all the time.

[shifted]

holy fuck poland is in. wtf is going on there LOL

[TombStone]

Poland got theirselves a Dutch coach, that's what happened lol.

[Memento Mori]

Poland didn't have Steve McLaren in charge, that's also what happened.
