2012 UEFA European Championship

[Tom]

A mate from work sent me the link like a gazillion years ago - he's from the UK, so if you're offended: I don't have a clue what this is even about!

 

[James Johnson]

and that's how you surprise the defense

 

[Tom]

This is madness.

 

[James Johnson]

Great goal by Welbeck

 

[Bruno Sousa Ferreira]

unlucky sweden, they really played well in the second half but Wallcott saved England today, great substition by Roy Hodgings (where's 'arry now?)

 

[Thilo Falkenberg]

Do I see it correctly when Greece wins it, they advance due to it being a UEFA tournament? So Greece would be positioned ahead of Russia due to winning against them and Russia could be eliminated by Czech Republic or Poland winning. Do I see that correctly? Or did my sources lie to me and it is like at the World Cup where the goal difference is also taken into consideration?

 

[Jesper Lundqvist]

UEFA Euro 2012 is over before it even started. This sucks.

 

[Bruno Sousa Ferreira]

Wow, the Czech's and greek's throught who would have thought it .

 

[Peter Duivelaar]

Unbelievable that the Russians are out of the tournament, was really impressed after their first match and didn't expect they would lose against Greece.

 

[Sérgio Marques]

Today should be another dramatic day!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Day of Days Sergio

 

[Ross Balfour]

I am so heartbroken right now, words cannot even describe it

 

[Sérgio Marques]

The victory for Portugal is good for us ( Dutch ), but it's to bad Ronaldo is still in sort of a Pre-Alpha state.

I think he should be near the "beta" stage!

 

[Tom]

Sad for the Dutch, tho. I really feel for them.

 

[Bruno Sousa Ferreira]

The dutch gave us a bit of a scare in the start, but we managed a turn around and completely control the match.
Sad for the Dutch because with the players they have they should have done better than 3 defeats and 2 goals.

 

[GAIAjohan]

From what I understand from interviews there were some troubles within the group..
Awesome.. England 1996 all over again..
A probable tournament winning team fails because there's no cohesion..

 

[Xosé Estrada]

Now England

Historic rivals, like it.

 

[Chris Preston]

Now, I'm usually against people complaining too much about refs... However.... HOW THE F**K DOES THAT NOT GET CALLED OFFSIDE IN THE SPAIN/CROATIA GAME LIKE WHAT THE F**K HOW CAN YOU BE THAT BLIND? I watch maybe 5 soccer games a year and I called that offside, that's telling you how bad the ref is. Good job screwing over Croatia.

 

[GAIAjohan]

It was not offside because the ball went to an other player (Iniesta) than the one being offside (Navas). And when Iniesta passed the ball to Navas, Navas was behind him, so that wasn't offside as well..
But Iniesta made hands, and it's worse that the linesmen didn't see that..

The ball may have went to another player, but the dude who received the ball was obviously going to pass it to him and if he was 5 feet offside clearly he got an advantage from being offside and it should have been called. If Navas wouldn't of scored people wouldn't be so pissed, but the fact he was passed the defender by a lot and got an advantage from that is unfair because clearly the defenders could have never caught him.

Also the angle on youtube wasn't too great but it almost looked like Iniesta was offside as well =\ I really hope there will be a video from the sidelines on youtube soon.
