Rooting for Italy tonight.

Forza Italia!!!! @^_^

[Bo130]

Being a dane I'm actually totally okay with us not going through. Would have been nice, but scoring against each of the three teams in the group is more than I had hoped for prior to the tournament. Now, go Spain! :D

[Phantast2k]

Is it just or are people watching different games than me? I really think this German team is way inferior to the one we've seen last world cup. I can't even get excited for the games anymore because they play sluggish and crude to be quite honest. Özil is lacking the creativity he is known for, which is also the fault of the unflexible positioning of Gomez. Podolski seems to be a completley different player without Klose around him and Müller... well lets just say his main charm was the way he always darted into the striker position and created scoring opportunities.... but since Gomez doesn't move away of this position and isn't creating spaces by pulling the defensive line apart Müller's play is totally ineffective. Germanys play looks static and as soon Bayern players get the ball any kind of momentum and speed gets killed (Tempoverschlepper No.1 Kroos... thank good he isn't playing much), valueing possession more than creating goal scoring opportunities. I'm also not impressed by Badstubers performance. Good opening plays from the defense but lacking "true defensiv skills" e.g. marking, tackling, headers. This Euro killed all the love I had for this team. :(

Welcome to the Bavarian national team.

[Sleeplessnights]

Where is this from? I can't stop laughing at it.

Yeah, I agree with you

It was ridiculous that the other player ignored Schürrle in many good situations.

[Linius]

Too bad the wunder of Charkov never happened. Can't believe we started the match so good and gave it all away after twenty minutes. There are so many things wrong with this team :(

I'll be cheering for Greece, go get those Germans!

The 2010 team has grown up. Back then everyone underestimated them and they could play quick counter-attacking football.

Now their quality is well-known and teams play against them as they do against Spain.

This Germany is more mature and not headlessly rushing into attack.

I much prefer this calm, collected style to high-scoring early performances and prematurely crashing out of the tournament.


This time you know Germany has room to improve and switch into a higher gear. In 2010 there was only one gear.

[Kem0sabe]

Time for some more hotness today! Hope ireland goes out with a win at least.

[raiot]

Hey, dont hate us! We beat the danes, all you had to do to advance is win with 2 goals difference :P

[Oxx]

Hopefully the C and D side of the draw will throw-up some better QF match-ups.

[Linius]

My predictions for today's matches are

Italy 4 - 0 Ireland
Croatia 1 - 3 Spain

Hopefully Italy will make a show of it. From what I understand they have to score at least three times to make a better chance of advancing trough the next round.

[&Divius]

So long Oranje avatar, we hardly knew ya.

[Wes]

Let's do this Croatia.

[Envelope]

Let's do this Croatia.

I'm with you, brother. Croatia only needs a draw to go on, I'm sure they have it in themselves.

[Vitet]

I'm with you, brother. Croatia only needs a draw to go on, I'm sure they have it in themselves.

I post it for the new page:

Only in the 1-1 scenario. In case of draw, I think it works this way. Online calculators are not reliable: Spain 0 - Croatia 0 / Italy wins -> 1. Italy 2. Spain. Croatia can't go through. Italy is first place because they have more goals in the tied matches than spain (1-1 / 1-1 VS 1-1 / 0-0) Spain 1 - Croatia 1 / Italy wins by less than 3 goals -> 1. Spain 2. Croatia. Spain is first because they have better GD than Croatia Spain 1 - Croatia 1 / Italy wins by 3 or more goals or 2 goals if the result exceeds 4-2 -> 1. Spain 2. Italy. Italy 1st place if they beat Spain GD Spain 2 - Croatia 2 or higher / 1. Spain 2. Croatia. Italy can't go through. Spain is first because they have better GD than Croatia Spain always qualifies with a draw because they will always have a higher GD than Croatia

Croatia doesn't always pass with a draw

Epic post WoodenLung :bow :bow

That. Explained. Nothing!

Female reporter: Ibra, what do you think about that picture? Are you gay?
Ibra: So, are you telling me that I am gay? Ok, come to my house tonight and I will show you how gay i am. Bring your sister.

[Linius]

So I was right about the three goals. It would be wise of Italy to just go for it. Better be safe. The odds of Croatia and Spain tying 2-2 or higher are very small imo.

[Nyx]

Worst EC ever.

Hope Van Marwijk quits or gets fired, and that the new coach goes back to oldschool 4-3-3 with real wingers.

[Fritz]

I know some of you guys were wondering about this: The shirt says: Junior Pai te ama Parabéns which means: Junior Father loves you Congratulations

Is that his actual handwriting? LOL

[Freewheelin']

Female reporter: Ibra, what do you think about that picture? Are you gay? Ibra: So, are you telling me that I am gay? Ok, come to my house tonight and I will show you how gay i am. Bring your sister.

Hahaha perfect trolling from Ibra

[Linius]

Worst EC ever. Hope Van Marwijk quits or gets fired, and that the new coach goes back to oldschool 4-3-3 with real wingers.

This.

Hopefully Narsingh will become a class A winger for the future. And we need some new defenders as well.

[Phantast2k]

Bwahahahahaha, I just received a hilarious PM from Kenka:

Phantast2k, you hate Bayern ? I must warn you, even if it is so, please restrain. We are all on the same ship and would want to appreciate the space. If you are willing to be aggressive with other members please stop because if I have to choose between your presence among us and the joyful mood of Bundes-GAF, I wouldn't hesitate. I'll ask a mod to read through your post history and ban you in consequence. I wouldn't cost me a leg to do so. I am afraid you are the one among us who stirs for controversy. Now please, stop making hating comments on Bayern, it is tiring and unpleasant.

[Wilbury]

Bwahahahahaha, I just received a hilarious PM from Kenka: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/P85Jj.jpg[/IG]

Holy shit hahahaha

[Linius]

So, I went to the supermarket this morning to get some groceries. And in The Netherlands we get free Panini stickers for every ten euros of groceries at the Albert Heijn.

Found this guy inside, stupid troller

[HollovVpo1nt]

This. Hopefully Narsingh will become a class A winger for the future. And we need some new defenders as well.

Van Rhijn, Douglas, Gouweleeuw... our defense will be solid in the future. I'm more concerned about our midfield and offence.

But I don't blame van Marwijk much.

[The_Hitcher89]

Still makes me laugh that people assume that their PMs will remain private even when they're as absurd as that

[HarryHengst]

Van Rhijn, Douglas, Gouweleeuw... our defense will be solid in the future. I'm more concerned about our midfield and offence. But I don't blame van Marwijk much.

Luuk de Jong and van Wolfswinkel will be pretty decent within a few years.

[electristan]

footballers really are the best at getting into intimate positions :D

[Linius]

Van Rhijn, Douglas, Gouweleeuw... our defense will be solid in the future. I'm more concerned about our midfield and offence. But I don't blame van Marwijk much.

Maybe Anita gets his chance in the near future. He was of great value for Ajax' last year's title. And Adam Maher could become a great player.

[RJT]

Worst EC ever. Hope Van Marwijk quits or gets fired, and that the new coach goes back to oldschool 4-3-3 with real wingers.

Aren't Afelay and Robben real wingers? Didn't they play like that against Denmark?

[HarryHengst]

Aren't Afelay and Robben real wingers? Didn't they play like that against Denmark?

Robben might be, but he always goes inside, even when he plays on the left wing.

[HixxSAFC]

Bwahahahahaha, I just received a hilarious PM from Kenka: [IM.G]http://i.imgur.com/P85Jj.jpg[/IMG]

I'm not sure but I think threatening to go to a mod is, er, frowned upon?

[Linius]

Aren't Afelay and Robben real wingers? Didn't they play like that against Denmark?

Nope. Van Marwijk positioned Robben at the right wing (lefty) so we never got a decent cross. Both Afellay and Robben went inside the box instead of reaching the end line to give a cross.

[Shoogoo]

Bwahahahahaha, I just received a hilarious PM from Kenka:

This can't be true?

[Phantast2k]

(edit: ^ I just quoted his PM and bolded the threatening part)

I'm not sure but I think threatening to go to a mod is, er, frowned upon?

Hmm, not sure. I didn't want to get him banned, but rather make ppl. point & laugh at him :p
He's probably still young and at some point I'm sure he'll learn not to take the sport too seriously (hopefully right about now).

[WoodenLung]

shut up or i'm going to call evilore on your ass

[Tence]

Bwahahahahaha, I just received a hilarious PM from Kenka:

[Funky Papa]

Bwahahahahaha, I just received a hilarious PM from Kenka:

I'm very much against posting PMs but this is way too rich.

[Vagabundo]

Bwahahahahaha, I just received a hilarious PM from Kenka:

Well the bag is off the cat now, I'm afraid.

[Acheteedo]

Ugh, everything was so civil before that Netherlands Portugal game.

Hoping for a Croatia win, for England's sake (assuming we get out of the group).

[Nevasleep]

Hey what's going on guys?

[Willkiller]

this page is hilarious :D edit: aw fuck! new page

Well I guess you were right after all :lol

[fuenf]

Oh shit, if only someone had told me earlier that Phantast2k is a Bayern hater. Cant believe it, i just thought he had a crush on Gomez and was just afraid to admit it. :(

[HixxSAFC]

shut up or i'm going to call evilore on your ass

shut up you c...ocknose

[F#A#Oo]

Best hair in Italy, hands down.

[WoodenLung]

Hey what's going on guys?

We're ganging up making fun of Bayerns loser generation

[Raist]

Drew them in a sweepstake at work and want spain out, so...
GO CROATIA :D

[Vagabundo]

Third time's the lucky charm tonight.

[Arjen]

No clear favorites for tonight, would be fun to see Spain go down though.
