Euro 2004: Post match analysis

[GhostRider]

Rooney deserves complete recognition for beating Croatia today. It's a pleasure to watch him from that TV wide angle - because up close is an effort. I thought people only look like that from the reverse end of a door's peephole? Look at him through the right end and you'd get Davor Suker. Sadly, we can all predict that his talent will decay as life in England takes its toll, just like it has for every young promise from England; Beckham, Owen, etc.. It would happen to anybody on a sustained diet of English cuisine and English women. (One can only take so much battered and greasy slop)

Ya the English birds are kind of greasy and sloppy, but don't put down the magic fried cod and chips.

Despite the fact mushrooms of the magical variety are perfectly legal in London, I've yet to discover magic fried cod and chips. Sounds like a Scottish thing to me, where'd you find them in England?

I won't comment on the greasy and sloppy English birds comment, I'll merely bow to your obvious collective superior experience with English women instead.....

I think I know that pudding. Didn't it and Saint do a dine and dash at the Vine Yard two summers ago?

Atleast the limey bastards could have shut up for the national anthem. What respect they showed to Croatia. Did rooney get the lead role in the upcoming movie remake of the Hobbit???


WC qualifying in september....

PS Forza Czech Republic!!!

I know you know that pudding. And, for all his faults, HoS isn't all that bad.

He's more a flan than a pudding anyway.

What's more, you're off topic. You'll have a moderator sniffing about if you carry on like that.

What's even more than that, it's too obvious that Saint would do a dine and dash isn't it? I've never known him to pay for anything have you? You must do better.

At least post about Gazza's new spackle-coloured goatee or give us some ancient folklore about peepholes, loosely translated from the original Croatian. We like puzzles in this thread, you know.

Hey Regs, could we get some Bookie action today or what. I would like to make a large bet on a Sweden/Denmark draw (well 2-2 tie) and a HUGE Italian win (but they will still be sent home). Would love to be down on Commercial Drive in my Sweden Kit today.

Thank-you fasty, I did spend some time in Taunton (Southwest England) a few years back, lovely area.

"Somerset

With a great variety of local foods (including Cheddar cheese, cider and cream teas), Somerset will always give you a real taste of England’s Westcountry ! Somerset is in many ways 'The Gateway To The Westcountry'."

The football is terrible, but the birds are fantastic, and if you fancy cider and cricket, you are in heaven.

Carry On

Cassano's reaction to his game-winning tally said more than words.

Let the conspiracy theories begin.

 

[TheRob]

Swe - Den. Coincidence?

Colusion at it's finest. The likes of this haven't been seen since Mclearan "helped" Jacques Villenueve win the F1 championship in '97. Ahh, good times.

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

I can hardly wait till 2006 in germany to see how they get screwed out of a result there too, or as in this case, screw themselves. no tears shed here.

89' Jonson (Sweden) scores! Sweden have equalised. Wilhelmsson breaks inside the Danish penalty area and sprints down to the byline to cross. Sørensen gets to the ball first but drops it and Jonson is on hand to score from the rebound.

Are you kidding me? 1 minute to go?!!? The keeper drops the ball?!!??

I guess I should watch over my back for the mafia, hey Zaurrini. 2fer2 on the day, love this TTP Bookie stuff.

Too bad my real bets don't cash in like this.

Only saw the last 15 on the Ital game, both teams looked tired, great save by buffon.

 

[BJB]

Now that is funny!!!!

Forza Italia!!! Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Suckers!!!!

Oh boy, is this going to cause some interesting discussion. I can't see them risking so much to try and rig a game. Someone would spill the beans but I could see some individuals taking it upon themselves to be a little complacent at the correct time.

You can't trust those Scandinavians.

 

[BJB]

PS Italy has no one to blame but themselves. That was a poor Euro they had. And it wasn't the ref's fault or the other teams, or the UN's or the next door neighbour's dog, or the guy squigeee'inggingig on boundary.... BUT BLAME Themselves!!!!

Go Sweden/Denmark and Czech!!!!

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

and don't forget the referee! He only "allowed" the greasers to score once the other result was in. full conspiracy.

 

[Regs]

It does have some merit... remember the referee failed to give the PK half-way through the second half

Reading the transcripts of the SWE/DNK game, the I-Tie media is going to have a field day... Larsson with a PK goal 2 minutes into the second half to tie it 1-1?... enough time to get to that magical 2-2 mark!

And don't forget Vieri... how many headers did he miss this game?
