Euro 2012

[Kobe]

Group A:
Poland/Russia/Greece/ Czech Republic


Group B:
Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Denmark

Group C:
Spain, Italy, Croatia, Ireland

Group D:
Ukraine, England, Sweden, France



Gooooo Polska, I'm def gunna be in Poland for this!



Sick group B, would not want to be in it.

[adidas]

When and where is the euro cup this year?

[lasimmon]

I believe it starts in June. In both Poland and Denmark I think.

Group B is going to produce some sick matchs.

[Kobe]

Poland/Ukraine, and ya in June!

[lasimmon]

Yah I couldn't remember the second country! Looking forward to it though. Love watching high quality soccer.

[HyperZell]

Haha Poland is going to have to depend on the hometown energy big time in this...I can barely see them making it out of group stage, let alone doing well in knockouts. I'll cheer for England as usual but let's face it, it's going to be Germany and Spain deep again.

[dj_patm]

I was hoping to go as well but none of family in Poland seems to have any interest in actually attending any matches which is lame. No one to go with :(

As for Polands chances, they're terrible. They literally have nothing going for them besides being the host. They are literally Canada bad, however they have been playing better as of late.

Well, as usual I will cheer for Poland and Germany.

I know that may sound weird. I'm Polish so obviously that's where my allegiance lies, but I was also born in Germany and because Poland and Canada sucked at almost everything when I was a child I routinely cheered for Deutschland and have remained attached to the soccer team. Also having 3 of the best Polaks to ever play the game on the team doesn't hurt either.

Ozil will rape this Euro.

[Skyline_Addict]

oh baby

[Kobe]

I just bought some tickets for
Spain Vs Croatia on June 18th!

$304euro for 2 tickets (Roughly $410cad?)

I guess I'm going to Poland Baby!

[Feruk]

Yeah yeah! I'm heading to the mother country for this tournament as well! Gonna backpack Eastern Europe then spend a few days in Poland for the tournament.

How'd you find tickets?! I've been looking for months; didn't get any in the draw. Only found one guy so far looking to sell the Gdansk semi-final on like the 24th.

[mac_82]

Wow I'm super jealous. I'll be stuck in Canada with my England, Netherlands and Ireland jerseys :cry:

uefa.com u can register and look.. its 10% more but whatever

paid $304euro for 2 tickets...

I'm going to try and get more tickets for Poland, might as well enjoy it while I'm there!


how much are the Gdansk Semi-final tickets going for?

[lauphman]

Only 5 days away. Can't wait!
Go Poland, there recent games have been great results. Our trio from borussia Dortmund which includes the bundesligas top scorer Robert lewandowski are in top form.

[Bladeh]

Put my flag up again!

http://www3.telus.net/public/bladey/flag2.jpg

England will struggle (always do shit in the Euro's), I expect Spain, Germany and France with an outsider such as Croatia or Czech to be in there or abouts

[Myrrinda]

Super pumped to get out and watch Germany kick ass. Anyone know of a good place in Calgary to check out next Saturday's match?

[Feruk]

Ship and Anchor

I wound up getting no tickets. :( Still gonna go party in Poland! Plane leaves in 5 days!

[Penis McNickels]

INGERLUND!!!

[dj_patm]

Predictions anyone? Here I go...

Group A:
1. Russia
2. Poland
3. Greece
4. Czech

- I think Russia has this group in the bag. They're my darkhorse to make the final. Really good team that has been playing great.

- I picked Poland 2nd because I think if the 3 Dortmund guys can play well they are going to be a handful for any team and could even upset Russia. However I make this prediction with a lot of caution as Poland is NITORIOUS for choking hard at big tourneys and I could easily see them dropping their first two matches. If Poland is successful look out for Lewandowski as a potential golden boot candidate as he will be the one scoring the majority of Polands goals.

- Greece is coming in undefeated in their last 16 matches and Poland has yet to concede a goal in 2012... FYI.

Group B:
1. Germany
2. Holland
3. Denmark
4. Portugal

- The group of death, I think it's pretty easy to predict that Germany and Holland will move on.

- I think Portugal will continue their losing ways and Ronaldo will remain a non-factor in international play. The biggest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

Group C:
1. Spain
2. Croatia
3. Italy
4. Ireland

- Spain should have zero problems moving on despite the loss of some key players.

- Italy is in shambles and has been since their win in '06. Wouldn't suprise me if they come in last.

Group D:
1. Sweden
2. England
3. France
4. Ukraine

- This group was the hardest for me to predict. Both England and France have been choke artists in the past few tournaments and I could easily see that continuing while Sweden tends to suprise.

Thats how I think the group stage is going to down...

[Kobe]

I didn't get Poland but I got Spain!

VAMOSSSSS Spain and Poland!

[Crks&Cstls]

Mad jelly of anyone going to any game. But ill for sure be rocking my netherlands jersey all day sat for game day. :D

[dj_patm]

POLSKA!

Here we go Motherfuckers. Time to rape these broke ass tzatziki loving chuje.

[JLau]

France vs Spain final

[bubbley]

I think Germany vs Spain in Finals!

[Kobe]

1-0 at half time for Polska


LETS GO!!!!!

[guessboi]

What a game so far!

[GOnSHO]

LoL oh greece... congrats on missing a penalty and ultimately ending the game in a tie *facepalm*

[Kobe]

Pretty sure I want to cry and Poland winning 1-0 with an extra man on the field and almost losing the game and choking the complete second half...

[dj_patm]

Yeah seriously.
Typical fucking Poland.

You can put the goal and the penelty on Szcecny but the whole team was absolute shit in the 2nd.

Fate is no longer in their hands. Super.

[nonofyobiz]

So where is the best place to watch in the city?

[GOnSHO]

Russia with a big win!!!

3 of 4 goals off the same play pretty much! haha

[dj_patm]

Hopefully Poland can pull out a draw with Russia.
Poland dominated Greece in the first half and although they played like shit in the second, Greece never seemed to be in control.

[GOnSHO]

i think if poland can contain the forwards a bit better and try to prevent the little pass through the middle.. they should fair a bit better then the czechs....

[Chrisw]

What channel/time is the Netherlands game tomorrow? TSN2?

[Kobe]

Starts in 4min here... TSN i think it showing it...


I bet against portugal for the next game, and I want them 2 win.. but my buddy from portugal wanted a friendly bet

Now who the fuck do I cheer for? lol

[lilmira]

Oops the oranje, they are still looking good though.

[lilmira]

Good job Denmark, that's a big one.

[Kobe]

Sick game Denmark vs Netherlands, not sure how the held on to win...


Gives Portugal a much better chance now :)

[dj_patm]

Yeee Deutschland.

Good work Denmark too. Love to see the underdog succeed.

[toyboy88]

Woot for Deutschland yesterday!

The Denmark win REALLY shook things up for the group.

Group C will be interesting too, now that Spain/Italy drew 1-1 today, and Crotia won 3-1.

[dj_patm]

I thought the Irish were suppose to be lucky LOL

[Kobe]

I just booked this from June 12 - 15th for like $870

http://www.hotelmats.pl/page.php?lang=en&i=0

It's the most expensive one for 4 people...

Lets goooo Croatia!

[dj_patm]

Jesus no wonder the English always think there team is God and the world is out to screw them... Listening to the English broadcast is absolutely ridiculous. I've heard flat out bias before but this is like having a drunken pre-teen fan doing the color commentary.

[GOnSHO]

brutal game!! bah!

[el_fefes]

Torres could've scored a hat trick yesterday in the last 20 mins... hahah oh man.

Interesting tie today between England and France. This will give Sweden/Ukraine better chances.

I see Spain vs. France in the final, and in my pool I also have Italy and England not making it past the group stage :eek:

[Skyline_Addict]

its time for ZLATAN

[dj_patm]

Great strike on the Polish goal today.

Poland seemed to control play once again but this time for more then just a half.

If they win on Saturday they move on! The closest they've ever been to the knockout stage at a major tournament since the 80's!

[Kobe]

[lasimmon]

I hear polish fans are keeping it real classy over there..

[colinxx235]

^

Well don't overlook what all those Russians did to the Polish Stewards a few days before as well. That was REAL fucking classy. Punching some worker in his 50's who is probably happy to work the Eurocup, among all the others who got attacked.

Regardless it is the country/sport image that get hurt. Shame

[dj_patm]

Also remember that the Polish/Russian rivalry goes way beyond sport.

I agree it is embarrassing to see but everyone knew that this match up would be an issue long before yesterday.

The russians beating up the Stewards on the other hand was way worse in my opinion.

[toyboy88]

Big day today! The DFB vs. Netherlands rivalry renewed!

Go Deutschland!!! It will be interesting though to see how 'in-crisis' (see link for those who don't know: http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3284/euro-2012/2012/06/13/3169908/huntelaar-set-for-netherlands-start-against-germany-as-van) Netherlands respond from their upset loss.

[GOnSHO]

anyone have a good live stream?? my normal one is SUCKING BALLS right now..

1-0 portugal, headed in by Pepe.....

Check that website. It works great for me all the time. Just scroll down and look for the game you wanna watch

[JLau]

won bet 1 today Portugal, 120 pays 100

Bet 2 is over 2.5 for germany and netherlands game...120 pays 130

[GOnSHO]

netherlands needs to get their heads outta their ass!! this is brutal!

[dj_patm]

Germany is raping.

[toyboy88]

Keep it up Deutschland! :D

[JLau]

awesome game so far...2-1 right now...so many chances both ends

[dj_patm]

Bye Bye Holland.

[el_fefes]

Holland = choke artists. They can still go through if Germany beats Denmark; and they also have to beat Portugal at least by 2 goals. That will be an interesting match based on the they played a couple Euros ago

Spain also used to be los choke artists too but they managed to pull through. They should easily beat Ireland today.

[Bladeh]

Italia v Croatia should be a good game, Balotelli playing...... should be interesting with Howard Webb reffing, Don't think Webb has sent him off yet.


Off Topic;
Shocking news about Harry Redknapp.... sacked!

[Skyline_Addict]

Spain finally played a game where their dominance translated to the number of goals scored. Not another game with 30 attempts on target, 10 corners, 800 passes, 65% possession and... winning 1-0, as we saw so often in WC 2010.

[GOnSHO]

GOD I LOVE TORRES!!!

so awesome!

[ZEDGE]

Any streams for England game?

[lilmira]

England chokes again?

[Skyline_Addict]

Crazy today how Russia went from #1 group placing to 3rd (and out), then Greece from 4 to 2 (and in)! :nut:

One match should be on TSN, the other on CTV.

[GOnSHO]

That was a nice header by Ronaldo, they just took over the game in the second half.

[Kobe]

Completely dominated the second half.. Goodjob Portugal

[toyboy88]

What a response volley from Khedira after the Greek goal!

:drool:


..And then Klose. Auf geht's DFB!

[dj_patm]

Woo!
4-1.

Good work.

Man it really shows how lucky Greece was to make it this far.

[schocker]

Saw 1-0 at the half and was a little worried, checked now, 4-1 yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh :D

[Bladeh]

Damn jerries! ;)

Well least the Greeks got 2 goals now, didn't expect them to get 1

[Penis McNickels]

Not sure if it's the internet connection here or Beyond is being shat on again as loading pages here is extremely slow....

But if anyone can recommend a place downtown for me to go and watch the Ingerlund game coming up in about an hour that would be nice. I'm at work today, but am going to fuck off for 2 hours to watch the game as I haven't been able to watch any games to date so far.

I assume the Ship and Anchor will be packed. I'll probably try Flames Central since it is only 2 blocks from me, but if anyone has a better place that shouldn't be packed and that might serve a proper pint that isn't Guinness, I'd appreciate that.


Thanks

[Kobe]

Spain vs Germany for the final..

Spain takes it IMO

Here were my seats for:

Croatia Vs Italy

[max_boost]

Made $100 when Italy beat England. Good stuff.

[Bladeh]

Like to see Portugal takeout Spain today, playing 6 midfielders........ tut tut!

[taemo]

damn cant stream the game here in the goons, was it a good game?
looks like spain won penalty

[rawsensation]

Spain on pk's, so nail biting in extra time.

[Kobe]

Sick... Spain Vs Germany in Finals I guess

[GOnSHO]

good game.. i wouldve preferred to see portugal go through but atleast my golden boy torres gets to play another game!! HAHA!!

hoping for a germany win tomorrow, but they are 0-8 against italy in international matches

[Mibz]

First half wasn't very exciting. Missed the second half and extra time. LOLed during penalties. I want Italy to win but I don't see it happening. 0-8 or not, I think Germany's gonna take the whole thing.

[georgemagana]

I love Italy but it looks like Spain vs Germany on the final. IMO the 2 most solid teams. I hate how Spain uses the fake "9" tho!

[dj_patm]

Bah I hate Spain. O'well.

I'm just praying Germany can get by Italy.

[guessboi]

I LOLed at the PK. Nice way to freeze your own player. :rofl:

I know they're the favorite. But I'm pessimist when it comes to sports. Germany is the only team I support in anything that is consistently successful and there not even my primary soccer team. I've been brought up on dissapointment in my teams!

[msommers]

I'd love for Germany to take out The Italian Diving Squad
