Germany 1-0 Portugal.

Very entertaining game, this one. Portugal hitting the woodwork a couple of times.

Coentrao was the best player on the pitch for Portugal, but I'm glad the Germans didn't bottle it.

Sneijder had an amazing match, he's pure class. Wish Robben and RVP hadn't bottled it.

Hummels was solid in defence too.

Seems like an incredibly dull game on paper.Spain's midfield is great though.

Spain XI vs. Italy: Casillas; Arbeloa, Piqué, Ramos, Alba; Alonso, Busquets, Xavi; Iniesta, Silva, Fábregas

Fabregas up front? :S

@Twisted_Blood: Incidentally, FALSE NINE anagrams to EL FANNIES, which is my new nickname for the Spanish team.

It's definitely not going to be fun viewing then.We saw how Barca did without Villa.At least they had Messi!

Torres providing ample lulz yesterday. Yet cheslea fans keep supporting their darling :lol:

England playing without a midfield.Long balls from defence.

RVP and Podolski hatrick

Great ball and finish for Germany's goal.

Another great finish by Gomez.Where was this finishing in the CL?

RVP no.16

The Dutch look hopeless.

Finally a van persie shot

Decent goal by Robin.

Sneijder is true class. Sign him up. Good goal by Robin. The Dutch look tired.

Robben sulking?

Gomez. Germany.

Thank heavens he was saving this for the Euros. :lol:

Yeah, great finishes from Gomez. The turn for the first goal and the placement for the second were awesome.
Btw, everyone forgot to mention, bastian schweinsteiger had two assists

Hup! Hup! LOLland!! :lol:

Want Germany vs Spain match with Germans winning.

Yeah...but germany has to cross a hurdle,called denmark,and it will not be easy. I couldn't see denmark vs netherland but i saw den vs portugal. Denmark is really good team who are capable of doing something unexpected.

Is there any possibilty for netherlands to get in to the next level?

Looks like Germans are a definite winner in the poll. Let's hope they win the cup itself.

Torres played well . I thought he played well in the first match as well , Spain started proper attack after he was in , just that he missed two horrible chances

I bet last night Torres would score 2 goals , it came through surprisingly

What a goal by Theo.Amazing strike!

TBH GK should have saved that.

Brilliant game.Theo made all the difference.

Next game for england is vs ukraine. I think ukraine will fight hard to survive group stage. England chances are 50-50. Top two will go to next round,right?

Not able to find any highlight vids

Terrys lack of pace is so obvious now , he's a liability now
And no praise for welbeck, I see bias around here

i didn't quite understand this banner...this is russia...how is this offensive??Why did this lead to violence?

Poland and Russia haven't liked each other for something like 400 years to put it simply. The banner originates from the fact the Russia had control over the Polish territory for large periods of time during this 400 year span.

Greece have dumped the Russians out somehow

Czechs also through over the hosts Poland.

@Gunners-Thanks...

LOL@Russia....feeling sorry for them really...such a tragic ending...

what a twist in the tale of group a ! feeling sorry for polands :-/

Greece and Czech Rep. through. What an anti-climax.

to be honest, i'm not surprised Poland went out. They have looked toothless in their attack,at times. Russia deserved better, though.

if italy win by 2 goals how does it matter if spain and croatia play a high scoring draw? if 3 teams are at 5 points .. wats it? GD or something else?

Tie breaker rules from Livescore.com
(a) Greater number of points obtained in the matches between the teams in question.
(b) Goal difference resulting from the matches between the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal).
(c) Greater number of goals scored in the matches between the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal).
(d) Goal difference in all the group matches.
(e) Greater number of goals scored in all the group matches.
(f) Higher position in the UEFA national team coefficient ranking.

interesting thing this ....
i didnt know abt the "between the teams in question" thing
how long has it been there? i want Italy to go thru...
if Spain vs Croatia ends 0-0 and Italy win .. Italy go thru! wat happens betwn Spain and Croatia? they are in a tie!
if Spain vs Croatia ends 1-1 and Italy win by 3 goals, Spain and Italy go thru
if Spain vs Croatia ends 2-2 or above (draw).. Spain and Croatia go thru.

dont know what happens in case 1 ... huh!!
3 hrs work still left ... off to grab a bit .. huh!! bad week

Poor games today.

Is it just me or are Spain beginning to look really boring? I felt the Italy vs Ireland game was much more interesting.

their... barca style pay is not able to crack the opponent defence.....

Arsenal_Gunners said:

Krow said:

same here

Without Villa (or Messi), Barcelona-style play becomes a training ground routine. Pass to death, but where is the end product? Messi's true genius lies in his ability to link midfield to the attackers. No one does that in the Spain setup I'm guessing.

And Navas looks really silly in his oversized XXXL jersey.

I commented that during last night's games. Don't think that the England game would be much better though.

Reading that Milner, the most useless football player in the history, is starting ahead of Walcott

Hodgson doing a Dalglish?

C'mon Zlatan !!!

OMG what a chance.

terry still got it...nice clearance

On a side note-Damn that looks like a goal..bad luck ukraine

Milner off after another anonymous performance.

England vs. Italy, France vs. Spain.

Milner and Johnson swapping positions would make absolutely no difference at all. Neither would their presence, actually :lol:

Ibra scored the goal of the tourney so far. also somebody tell me the use of those plonkers standing on the goal-line. cant they see a ball cross the line?

what milner gives to england is shape. the way england play shape is of utmost importance. he's doing what roy wants. Theo cant be that disciplined. he is best as an impact sub.
in roy's england being on the flanks is not that much fun, but you get results.
he can do better, but he does his primary task well,

dont crucify milner for doing whats asked of him. come on people. Analyse.

well what's the use of sitting deep and counter-attacking if your wing isn't strong. England were most effective when defenders pinged the ball directly over the midfield and to the strikers. Young was poor too, but improved in the later stages.

as for Milner, he's too defensive while Johnson is more attacking. Also, agree with Theo's role as an impact sub.

Spain! Spain! Spain!

We should keep Denilson because he provides shape...

I thought it will be Spain vs Portugal in semifinal

Arsenal_Gunners said:

and I was expecting a sane discussion from you. My fault.

tech_boy said:
Spain! Spain! Spain!

thank you for your valuable contribution

What does "keeping the shape" even mean?Is it an achievement for an international footballer just to stay in his place without providing any attacking or defensive contribution?Rather have Walcott provide forward runs than Glen Johnson doing the work of two people.

ssk_the_gr8 said:
and I was expecting a sane discussion from you. My fault.

thank you for your valuable contribution

No need for that attitude. You have more than your fair share of crap posts.

Shape? What's the point of having a player who does nothing but keep the team in shape?

Theo is a good impact sub, but it's not like he is just an impact sub. I'm sure he will do better than Milner on the flanks.

Is Milner doing what he is asked to? Yes. Is Milner capable of much else? No. That's the difference.

Yeah, that's the problem for England,lack of quality options. Walcott is great as an impact sub but he must start given that Milner messes up so many moves. Even Chamberlain can fill the impact sub role.

Besides, ssk's argument is invalid. Young keeps the team in shape alright and he does a much better job of it than Milner, who is a waste of space on the pitch. Milner should be brought in when England are leading and need eight players in defence.

France got tonked well and proper yesterday. Mexes had a nightmare outing yesterday. His booking means Koscielny will finally get a deserved chance. M'Vila had a sub-par game. And what was Blanc doing? Giroud, their best aerial threat, was brought in really late against side which hasn't done well against headers.

Mark van Bommel the uncardable has retired.

england lack quality, when they are not disciplined they dont win. you have seen this.

So here keeping the formation, staying in shape, discipline is what is making england tick, and for that milner is perfect.

you'll seem to have ignored the fact when i said that he can do better but he does his primary job. put theo on flanks and watch johnson make a meal of all the defensive work. he needs help with defensive work.

Also , whenever theo is made a starter his form seems to dip for england.

Milner would not get into brazil or spain starting 11, but for ingerland he does the job.

past record shows that when england are gung ho they get screwed big time. So right now i am with hodgson on his philosophy.

one last thing , this philosophy is really doubtful to work in the final 4 but it works for now.

Walcott = impact sub. That everyone agrees upon.

But Milner gives England the shape? lol there.

Ronaldo delivers again. Great goal.

Ronaldo scored. He celebrated. What is mean by the actions he was doing in his celebrations? (just curious)

That header reminded me of Sagna's vs. Spurs. Pure desire to score.

*footballnus.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/cristiano-ronaldo-goal-vs-czech-republic.gif?w=584

Brilliantly started by Nani and finished by Ronaldo. Cocky celebration though.

*i.minus.com/ibpfulTvRiS6nE.gif

unnecessary

Apparently that was a message to his son instead of "Messi" .Don't think they give a sh1t about each other like the media thinks.

It was for Ronaldinho. Not Messi.

*p.twimg.com/AwA2xNFCQAA7kk-.jpg:medium

some more rival-trashing

Greece equalize :shock:

Fantastic volley from Khedira.
This tournament has been great so far.

Great stuff from the Germans. Doing it the right way.

Great game! Enjoyed watching it.

In spanish team,on pitch,they play good,but off pitch there seems to be problem between barca and madrid players

Erm...no.

Ok ok. But they don't seem so friendly to each other,don't give smile,or smile just for the sake of team mate.

The celebration seemed pretty friendly

Yeah...but still i feel ... Anyway what do you think about malouda?

He has been poor for quite some time.

Yeah. But in this match,too much,he is making france's good attacks useless.

M'Vila subbed off for Giroud.

If france could score a goal and then win match in penalty shoot out,it will be easy for portugal in semi final.

Spain are winning this in 90. Terrible reply from France after going down.

Dammit. Its over. For portugal too (most probably)

But second half was better.

Probably a repeat of the 2008 final.

italy will win tonite ....

Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola described the 21-year-old as Peter Pan, while his international team-mate Daniele De Rossi said the forward was maturing.

"I think these are metaphors for Mario the person, not Mario the footballer. I think I'm a man - I don't think I need to say it, but I am," said Balotelli.

And straightaway Theo's ball makes England's first chance of the half

Guys,the referee tossed the in front of walcott and he gave away to italy's player,what is that called, something like 'free ball'

wow...england doesn't deserve to go ahead if they play like this...italy had loads of chances to bury england...still...i hope now italy wins eventually...

Extra time. England lucky to be not out of the Euros by now.
Time for Ox.

england's defence has been their saving grace...

not henderson man...damn

rooney is having a poor game today...

How have Italy not taken the lead yet.

goddammit...just score already italy...how many chances do you need...

walcott could have gone directly...don't see how passing to carroll was the solution

Carroll should be playing headball. He can't pass, dribble, run or tackle.

but Carroll does make a good defender...

All he's done is foul constantly. The game had very few free kicks till Carroll came on.

Diamanti has been good today...nice sub by italy...

omg..buffon gets to touch the ball....

lol..bad luck italy...offside

there is just no understanding between carroll & rooney...its funny at times...

Penalty shootout!!!!

England and penalties. There is always drama, most of it of the hilarious kind.
My money is on Balotelli and Carroll missing.

Penalty shootout finally.

Future lies on goalkeeper.

my money is on Rooney missing one...

balotelli will score

I think italy vs germany could be the best match of the tournament.

Italy wins :))

Italy win...yaaay...screw you england...you sucked

So no more,no less from England than expected. Out in the first knock out round.
At least they are saved from a bumming by Germany.

I'm glad all the defensive teams are out.

Gerrard looked genuinely deflated and pissed off in his interview.

Pirlo's penalty is the stuff only world class players can pull off.

that was awesome,first i thought what was that,by mistake?! Then i saw replay,o....my....god,and he was so calm.

Reminded me of this.

Gerrard looked genuinely deflated and pissed off in his interview.

yeah, safe to say he was the best english player of the tourney.

Wimbledon starts today. The English just roll from one sporting disappointment to the other :lol:

*i.minus.com/ixSNKeWYY7zCQ.gif

absolute class. deserves to win any penalty shootout.

Cole will probably cry himself to sleep with his CL medal under his pillow.

If he hasn't sold it on Ebay yet.

I now get why JT was defending with all his heart.. The racism trial is up next :lol:

Wenger would have done that. Funds to make his next big signing. :lol:

And Cashly will blow it up in red light district of Kiev. That's the difference.

Whatever rocks his boat, man. For Cole it's girls, for Wenger it's.... err.... you know.

Adding emoticons spoils the joke. Would be funny without it.

^ I put all me effort into it.

You may recall that, after the Ivory Coast lost the Africa Cup of Nations final on penalties to Zambia, Wayne Rooney tweeted the following:

'Funny that 2 toures was there all the way and lost. Haha.'

Haha indeed. The responses of Kolo and Yaya are presently unknown, but Mediawatch hopes they both shat a lung laughing.

Ain't Karma a biatch? :lol:

Except Rooney fell on the first hurdle and is now enjoying a vacation. Not much potential to laugh there.

Glad they got this Euros over with. Anybody would've taken a QF place before the tourney started.

I'm just glad the lads can rest a bit and start the pre-season fresh.

Even Pirlo cant beat this though.

*p.twimg.com/AwPajbPCQAEbslW.jpg:large

Very nearly fvcked it up. Pirlo's was superb.

Pirlo's was better

2 reasons why I think Zidane's was better.

1.WC final.
2.Fooled Buffon.

Anyway,it's personal opinion. Taking nothing away from Pirlo too

England lost :banghead:

the only reason i find pirlo's better because it was perfect and zidane's hit the bar

Ya . England Lost .

Lolzzz

Spain are so sh1t. Only Iniesta is doing remotely exciting stuff.

I like Coentrao, good left back. Spain can't dominate. Cesc on for Negredo. Should have brought Llorente on.

Extra time. Portugal have stifled Spain's midfield. Xavi subbed off. :lol:

Nani is such a twat.

Pepe tackles with violence!

Why is Torres walking about on the pitch? Go sit in your corner :lol:

At least we get to the pens. Let's see which cnut misses.

Tremendous save from Alonso.

Another good save.

Urgh..

Torres trying to get in the huddle :lol:

Ronaldo didn't take a penalty. Cesc wins it for Spain.

Heart break. This is so bad. I wanted to see portugal in final.

If Ronaldo was eying for personal glory (surprise!) he has got a massive egg on his face.

This is too much. I can't sleep today.

maybe portugese coach didnt trust him , he's missed it for united in the UCL final and also missed it for real in a semifinal

Looks like someone's got a man-crush.

Spain were much better when Pedro and Navas were introduced.

who cares lol. He'd have missed it anyways. :lol:

All eyes on these guys for today's semifinal.

Gomez, Müller, özil & Klose.

Germany : Firepower & Youth. They improvised from game to game.
Italy : hell, they can't even scored a single goal against pathetic english team.

Would love to see, Spain vs Germany in final.

spain was shite in both QF and SF..... hope they will lose in final

england was playing too defensive,thats why italy couldn't score,but they certainly have potential. And in today's match,i think they will score.

Torres on Pique from the look of things.

Italy score pretty much against the run of play. It's on now! WTF was Badstuber doing there?

And here they go

here they go again. Balotelli is on fire

Hitler trending on twitter amidst all the players' names :lol:

Italy are getting so easy chances but still unable to convert into goal.

Too late now for Germany.

Pen for Germany.

But too late.

Germany outclassed by Italy. Deserved win for them.

Germany didn't play its real(expected) game. I wanted portugal to win,out. I voted for germany,out. Now,i think spain might win,and italy has to play better than it played today,to win euro. I am voting for italy in final game.

Vialli is awesome in the BBC post match coverage. Soft spoken but handed Shearer his arse.

Since nobody has mentioned the word yet - Chokers :lol:

Before this,all last 5 encounters between Italy Germany ,were won by Italy. What did you expect this time ?

Italy wins it ...Euro 2012.

*a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/392794_442564319117123_1413449187_n.jpg

Germany had a great potential of winning, but that’s it for them in this tournament.
Great performance by Italy, poor defending from Germany.

SPAIN vs ITALY [gonna be a tight match & interesting too.]

but sad :'(

Italy were better team yesterday. Especially Buffon at his best.

Germany...

Spain going without any striker again. Going to be boring as fvck. Would be surprised if it finishes in 90 mins.

When you hope Italy will entertain, you know something's going wrong.

Spain filling in their mid field. Bloody hell.

Hopefully, Italy pull off a real quick goal which will force the Spaniards to pull out an adventurous version of tiki-taka.

K this is exciting
Penalties then ... Italy
Unless Spain scores first

Today i support spain -aka- My spartans.

That was a great goal. That's more like the 2008 Spain.

Wow good one
Spain was making it look effortless
Nice game till the goal
Pressure on Italy now

Balzaretti for injured Chiellini. He deserves it after his performances in the tournament.

2-0 Spain. Game over. To be fair they deserve it thoroughly.

Ok that was good
Looks like this is over

Brilliant run from alba

Alba is the right buy for Barca. Great goal that!

SPAIN Clinches the Half Time.....rest half time depends on ITALY....

Spain is outclassing (ed) Italy. Goalkeeper is also very good.

Why they changed silva? Italy can score but can't defend

Motta done his hamstring. Italy out of subs.

Aahh..italy is just defending now.

Injury killed the contest. Sad.

Yup it's a shame. Italy were creating chances.

TORREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEsssssssssssSSSSSSS!!!!! Does it again!!

TORRESS IZ BACK!!! for the 69th time

Omg humiliation

TORREs to MATA!!!!! Gooooool!!!

Just need John Terry invading the celebrations now :lol:

This is one drubbing which not many would've predicted!

As usual, Arses getting their bitterness into everything. Fun-gis.

Torres to get golden boot. Piss take :lol:

Good one

iOS has tons of games coming out every hour. Sleep for 8 hrs and theres goodies waiting in the morning. Theres also IAP sales and price drops. You will be spoilt for content. PSP with tactile feedback is better for racing titles and some action titles but that's it. Takes a lot more hours before your hands start paining on a touchscreen, but they still do. At ur budget psp or ipod4 looks like the best options. A 3GS wud be an unconventional choice but still good. If not, droids still get the best titles, but you won't have too much choice.

Spain WIN IT!!!!!

Balotelli exploding :lol:

Balotelli ------> Blow-a-telly. :lol:

Torres celebrating as if he won Spain the Euros.

so the next half was also clinched by Spain...

Good tournament in the end. Shame the final turned out to be a damp squib but Spain were rampant today.

Haterz gonnna haaaaate. :lol:

Did anyone see Puyol in Spain kit at the presentation?
I didn't either.

Tears in pirlo's eyes. I am disappointed by the match. That injury ...

nope. He was playing game in mobile with david villa

^ Because him and Villa didn't participate in the tournament right from the start, you moron. Get that into your thick skull. Or do I have to speak in French? :lol:

Massive

Mata and Torres did virtually nothing in the tournament and celebrated after the goals. At least show some respect. Scoring against 10 men and Ireland do not count as achievements.

^ Here's another bitter Gooner. Can't let go of your red-tinted glasses, can you? :lol:

Naah, I have a tendency not to ignore stupid/ignorant people/comments. :razz:

Torres gets the Golden Hair..erm boot :lol:

FACT: Fernando Torres never lost a final in his life and he done it again by winning Euro 2012.

LOOK at the number of Barcelona players in that team!! And all came through the youth academy, even if thy went on to ply their trade elsewhere during their careers.... Staggering!! :shock:

Love them or hate them they are the best club side of all time. Last season was just an aberration which all top sides face.

N

So who won the Euro ? Manchester United or Chelsea ?

Chelsea. definitely chelsea :lol:

lol Barca won
