EURO 2016

Post by SCCats »

Well this will probably be my only post about this until the knock out rounds begin. That's because, in expanding EURO to 24 teams (24 European countries included...great idea. Are there 24 European countries?) they've totally destroyed the group stage. These have some serious potential to be some boring as fuck groups.

Group D is interesting. Group E you at least get a game between Belgium and Italy, but man these groups are just filled with way too many minnows.

The England/Russia game was entertaining. Sidenote: disappointed in all the violence pre game and I'm sure it won't get any better during the night

Fine display of keeping we are seeing so far in these two tournaments. Germany will probably win just because Neuer won't make the awful mistakes everyone else is.

Your wish is my command.

Glad to see Wales demolish Russia. Go home, Puteniks.

If that idiot Croatian guy hadn't randomly stuck his hand between the ball and his head, in the penalty box, during injury time, I'd be in a strong place to take home a few hundred bucks right now. Bastard. :(

Belgium's path to the final is amazing. What an opportunity.

If I had to guess I'd say semis of Poland v. Belgium and France v. Germany

Croatia v. Portugal

No shots on target for either team through 80 minutes.

This has been a miserable game. Forget this last ten minutes, forget overtime...let's just go straight to PKs right now.

Hear hear. Went to sleep after regulation time. Boring. Of course I wake up to find Portugal actually won a match. These bastards are killing my entire pool. And Ronaldo's a little bitch.

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
