oh man, can't wait :excited:
Come on England or anyone but Spain!!
-
team italy or croatia :cool:
-
or germany :cool:
-
I know absolutely nothing about European soccer teams and normally only follow the WC.
I do however enjoy rooting for Germany and Sweden since that is where my ancestors lived, how are they looking this year?
Also is Slavdon Ibrahimovic* still on Swedens team? He was absolutely ridiculous in FIFA World Cup 2010!!!
-
germany should be the favorite, imo. they are just absolutely stacked with ozil, hummels, gotze, lahm, neuer, schweinsteiger, etc.
sweden has some good pieces with zlatan, rasmus elm, and seb larsson, but not too strong overall
-
USA! USA! USA! USA!
-
USA! USA! USA! USA!
I'd put USA's chances of winning at about 60%. I mean we've been sandbagging recently but I think we will turn it on in time to win this tournament. I'm only worried about our draw, we got a dousy!

Any one want to do a pool?
I would do one for cash or just for fun if people would like to.

Whats the bracket look like? Do I have to choose a winner in the title game between Sweden and Germany or can I just mark it down as a tie?

Most of the squads have been announced. England has 4 Liverpool players in the team :lol:

How does this one work? I'm so rough ridin' confused. :curse:
-

This is international play. It's like the World Cup. Only it's just sixteen European teams instead of 32 teams from around the world.
-
So no USA? That's rough ridin' racist. Is Ireland its own team or is it all UK together?
-
They know the US would win it every time so they didn't let us enter. And Ireland and England and everything are all their own teams. They both qualified. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales all didn't.
-
Ireland and northern ireland have separate teams? That's rough ridin' racist too. Their Protestants and Catholics need a third party evil religion to unite them like the mother rough ridin' USA has. USA, USA, USA!

Can we talk about how shitty group A is compared to B & D? C is a well balanced group the others are ridiculous.

B is clearly the toughest IMO. The groups are determined by a lottery aren't they? That's rough ridin' stupid. Germany, Holland, and Portugal should not be in the same group. The top four teams need to be in separate groups.
And D might not be as strong as it looks. There's no way to tell if England is going to get something going with their new manager. And France has been pretty shitty the past couple years. Still talented as crap though.
Russia and Czech Republic are pretty good but they are terrible compared to Spain, Germany, and Holland.
-
Its a draw from seeding pods, just like the World Cup. They should just be seeded by a multi nation committee, because the FIFA world rankings also blow, but it being FIFA and UEFA the very real possibility of sketchiness would be in play there.
-
This thing sounds like an unorganized racist crap pile. It's going to be difficult but I'll give it a go. Does Switzerland have a team? I guess I'll go for them.

Yeah Switzerland has a team, but they didn't qualify for EURO 2012. They are pretty good though.

Actually, I would like to see Portugal and The Netherlands emerge from group B, but I will still root for Germany if (when) they make it out. It's just a shame that all three of those teams were stuck in the same group.

Am I the only one really doesn't give a eff who wins EURO 2012? I'm not rooting for any teams. Just against a few.

Sometimes I will pick up a team because I like the way they're playing (usually that ends up being the Netherlands). Other than that I agree, just a good time to enjoy some amazing football.

Same here. Maybe I'll pick a team. If not, wake me up for World Cup Qualifying, Confederations Cup, World Cup, and the Gold Cup.

True story. A buddy of mine lives north of Amsterdam. He is a huge Netherlands fan. He wore a Netherlands Olympic jersey to a meeting (EMAN?). He is a big dude that can drink a lot of beer. I like to drink a lot of beer. I like the Netherlands.
The end.

Group B: 1st- Germany 2nd- Netherlands
Final: Germany def. Netherlands
Every match on espn3.com, looks like I'm not going to be doing a lot this month.

Don't sleep on Poland here. Host country and easy group. It's gonna be a close game between Poland and Spain for the 'ship, though.

Poland will get out of group, but I don't see them beating the 1 or 2 from Group B in the quarters.

Hope Czech/Russia should be good though.

Ok this game is exciting again. Thank you shitty Gooner keeper.

Didn't see the first game. Was pulling for Czech in the second. It turned out to be a pretty good game.

You missed out. The 1st game had everything. Great game to watch even though it ended in a draw.
-
I was completely disappointed with the performance of the Czech team. Baros needs to GTFO. On top of that the defense was absolutely horrible. I will say Russia capitalized on their opportunities, but their chances were absolutely given to them. It looks like they will win Group A pretty easily.

Great day to root for some underdogs! :excited:

Denmark is young. The Dutch don't have a prayer. Germany is coming out of that bracket.

Where did you guys learn to "speak soccer"? I mean I've never meet anyone that would say "the Queen's 4-4-2".
-

Well, England is the queen's team, and 4-4-2 is a formation that features four defenders, four midfielders, and two strikers.

Well there are certain terms you learn by listening to the commentators and British studio analysts, but if you're talking about people who start saying things like "Bloody hell" when talking soccer, then yes it is annoying.

i def. understand the soccer speak problem. sometimes its kinda hard to distinguish what words you should and shouldn't use. for example: "pitch". i feel zero remorse using that word, but i am aware that most people who hear an american say it cringe. "futbol" would be the obvious rub here. maybe speaking about soccer in a less american way makes people feel more wordly? :dunno:

Also is Slavdon Ibrahimovic* still on Swedens team? He was absolutely ridiculous in FIFA World Cup 2010!!!

I bet soccer has the biggest goal in relation to the size of the object in all of sports. EASY

Endzone - Football. Next.

factor in the size of the player that carries the ball, or use the area of the goalposts or something. or else it's apples to oranges.

It's all apples to oranges man. They use their feet in soccer.

Christiano Ronaldo is awesome :blush: he has dominated so far and i think has a great chance to lead them to an upset tourney win.

Yes, he played a great game. V. Good player. I was rooting for him.

The ronaldo chest control toe flip and fire would've been a contender for goal of the tournament. The ibra volley was incredible, but that thing was probably better.

I liked when the guy did a fake out like he was going to really boot the ball but instead did a little tiny kick

That was good

As a member of the fraternal order of goalies, I must add my two cents. Joe Hart was all over the place. There are certain things you look for when deciding which way the players going to shoot. You have to focus on almost everything leading up to ball strike. Its hard to really explain. All I know is Joe Hart wasn't focusing hard enough. Thats why he was fitted for a clown suit. The moment was too big for him.
-
I probably would just guess they were going to do that little tiny kick fake out move every time because it would be the easiest to catch

In the book Scorecasting, it says that the best way to score on a penalty kick is to actually kick it straight down the middle, because the goalie almost always jumps to one side or the other. Most players don't do it though because they don't want to look like idiots and not score because they kicked it straight at the keeper. Not looking like an idiot is a surprisingly big motivator for athletes according to this book.

I am scary good as the goalie on FIFA during PKs

Dudes that aren't comfortable with their sexuality, thats who.
If I were gay I'd have to pleasure myself at least twice during his games. Since I'm not I try to limit it to once depending on his hairstyle.

They are, but when you don't have a team it's more fun to at least root for an underdog. Portugal has a nice mix of being an underdog and being entertaining to watch.
I fully expect it to be Spain v Germany in the finals.

I'm no expert on time differences but you would think they could play the game so they are on around 8pm in their biggest tv market.

answer me this soccer guys: the wichita wings goal was super small. like refridgerator size iirc. this goal is super big. how come the wings would always score like 10 goals and these guys are lucky to squeeze out 1? goalie technology come that far?

Americans are bigger and stonger than europeans as a result of not having our all of our strongest men killed in world wars.
They had to make the goals smaller because in normal regular soccer americans were scoring like 20 goals a game.

Seems pretty unfair that Italy have Mario Balotelli. What a beast. I honestly love everything about the guy. He's an incredibly polarizing figure. Now everyones going to see how mumped up his life really has been/is.
Here's a taste http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mario-balotelli-manchester-city-bad-785431 (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mario-balotelli-manchester-city-bad-785431)

Balotelli is everything that I love about soccer. My rough ridin' idol. People who hate him are rough ridin' jealous they're not as amazing and adorable.

EURO 2012 can go die for all I care. You're dead to me, EURO 2012.

lol. would have loved to see Portugal vs Italy. 2 sexiest players in the world - Ballotelli and Ronaldo ... dangit.
the Germans looked like ass yesterday. they had their chances but didn't even come close to taking advantage of any of them. if the Azzuri could have finished down the stretch it would have been an embarassing 4 or 5 goal loss.
the final will pit Pirlo vs Iniesta/Xavi in the midfield. another matchup which will be fun Alonso, Pique and Ramos trying to hold down Ballotelli and Cassano.

well well well, if it isn't the two prettiest belles at the racist ball

Iniesta is going to get humiliated by balzareti. I also wish that italy brought gattuso back in just for this game to scare the hell out of the soft midfield of Spain. Get stuck in on xavi and fabregas and speed them up.

I work w/ a lady who claims to be Italian and talk about Italy all the time even though she looks and talks like an american.

Does she have lots of arm hair and a thin mustache*? If so, she's Italian. Otherwise, she's full of crap.
*She likely has the mustache waxed, but the arm hair would still be noticeable, and most Italian women don't bother with the arm hair.

Hey, newsflash: Balotelli isn't that good. He'll get all grumpy during the final and be non-exsistent.

No horses in this race. Love me some Cesc. Same for SUPER Mario. Better not be a snoozefest, that's all. I will be pretty pak'd and impatient. Granted there's nothing else to do on a Sunday afternoon, I still better see some fuckin goals kicked.

Definitely can't argue with it. But that coupled with the fact that he is an insane talent make him one of the most exciting players in the world to watch. If he isn't scoring incredible goals he's doing something completely asinine. I want a Mario Balotelli reality show called "Mario of Love."

so, it turns out spain is pretty good and can shut down whoever they need to :blank:

They may just be the best national side to ever play the game. That being said, as soon as Thiago Motta went down, it was hopeless. Just no way a team can press forward with 10 men and not expose themselves with a team as talented as Spain.

Italian women have very dark arm hair, and lots of it. It that grosses you out you won't like them. They also tend to get the thin little lady mustache of a young Billy D. Williams.

I pretty much never agree with your cousin's soccer takes, but understand what he's saying kind of. I'd take Italy's back 5 as a group over Belgium's. Agree that whichever team had Conte was going to win today. Had them playing like an incredible unit.

boisterous crowd in marseilles. my favorite crew is on the call (Tom Wilkinson on pbp & color commentary from Mark Strong). France creating chances, but no joy for either side as of yet. pretty even match TBH so far, but it feels like a matter of time before France break through.

boisterous crowd in marseilles. my favorite crew is on the call (Tom Wilkinson on pbp & color commentary from Mark Strong). France creating chances, but no joy for either side as of yet. pretty even match TBH so far, but it feels like a matter of time before France break through.
mocat you're a hero. Took Giroud to score first in my pool today, but would also like a Martial winner if possible.
Griezmann and Pogba both dropped? :sdeek:
-
France finally break through in the 90th minute. heartbreaking for Albania.

Wow, some incredible posts and videos right here. Love this tournament, love this sport.
Northern Ireland also gets a shout for fans of the tournament imo. They've been loud and bouncy and a joy to watch.
-

you can include regular seasons since i think they are a title that matters a lot too.
here is my guess:
world cup
euro thing currently ongoing
champions cup thing
EPL title
bundesliga
the italian or spanish league title
i have no clue after this point
-
well if you don't give a crap whatsoever about the team and just the players enjoyment, then I'd think you'd pretty much just have to split it down
World Cup
Euro/copa/afcon
League
Confed/gold

I was sick with a bad stomach bug during the first week and stayed home for a few days and pretty much only watched Euros and Copa. Since going back, I've taped a few of the bigger games and had to catch highlights otherwise.
