    i hate those announcers, they're pretty stupid. and i never thought cech was the best in the world, i was quite perplexed when i heard them say that. van der sar, buffon, casillas, reina, dida are much better imo... elementary mistake lol

      van der sar too.. loads better than cech.. christ cech might not even the best goalie on his club team, lol.. lost 2 pk shoot outs to man u in one season

      I meant the studio announcers more so than the play by play.. Andy Gray has been great, Tommy the fuckin midget Smyth has been as annouying as always.. but in the studio for espn rob stone and julie foudy.. my god, why is she even in the same room as the others? completely out of her league, some of the looks Andy gives her when she opens her gob are classic.. you can tell he wants to shut her up and say, look, youre a fuckin yank and woman.. piss off

        Re: Euro 2008

        I am getting extremely sick of the italians right now. I keep checking up on goal.com from my blackberry and it is chuch full of articles about how the italians are pleading with Van Basten to play an honest game and to beat Romania. It's getting to the point that if the Romanians do beat the Dutch, they won't get any credit even if it is a deserved win (granted against a possible B squad). For the Italians, morals are similar to the flu: they come and go. Now, they're coming. People who have followed Moggi, conniving and cheating, re-discovering honesty. Since friday, their motto is to receive from others what others should never expect to receive from them. They barely got a miserable point out of 2 matches and not they beg for mercy and fair-play. They, the champions of arrangements and masters of pacts and cheats, struggle to prevent a scandal that would not be at all scandalous. They are trying to invite the dutch to work for them, the morons. The dutch only want to play to win. So, therefore, to lose. Because they are not idiots, they know they have to avoid the wounded beast in the semifinals, Italy or France, because they would prefer a Romanian squad who, by then, would be exhausted and satisfied. So yes, despite all the pleas from the great historical figures of Italy, the Dutch will play with their "B" squad and play to win-win.

          Italy should start playing football before they look what others do. I am getting pretty excited now..one hour and a bit left. I don't wanna loose against Austria. It sucks to kick the last host of the Games out of the Tournament but better them than us.

              hahaha, quality from soccernet.com mact commentary

              "That's full time and Germany stagger through to the quarter finals but they'll need a huge improvement if they are to beat Portugal. As for Austria, thanks for being such great hosts, sorry you aren't a very good football side. See you next time..."

              zing!

                Germany didnt impress at all. I thought they were all shaping up after the loss to the croats. Austrians didnt play as bad as I expected, they just couldnt finish. Ze Germans didnt play as well as I expected, they just couldnt finish.

                      God we have to improve A LOT to have a chance against Portugal. So far the opening Game was our best one but if they do not show more in the quarter final this Thursday it will be hard to proceed....

                        Re: Euro 2008

                        ok 3 hours.. what do you lot think
                        even if Holland plays a weaker side, can Romania get past them?
                        and what about Italy v France? I'm thinking 1-1 draw tbh

                        looks like if Italy and France draw.. Romania can still go thru if they lose unless they get beat by more than 3 goals.. should be an interesting afternoon!

                          I doubt Romania will do anything against Holland so I guess it's all between Italy and France later...can't wait.

                            yeah, Holland doesnt really have a "weaker" squad.. robben and van persie came off the bench last match and scored against les bleu, lol

                                as predicted, the dutch kept only Boulahrouz and Engelaar in the squad, replacing even the venerable van der Sar:
                                Stekelenburg - Boulahrouz, Heitinga, Bouma, De Cler - De Zeeuw, Engelaar - Van Persie, Afellay, Robben - Huntelaar
