Just saw the highlights of England-Sweden.

That was an interesting exchange between Joe Hart and Ibrahimovic after Sweden's 2nd goal.

I was buzzing after that match last night!

Walcott is a decent player. I don't really like him, but we don't have much better. Milner is very average, don't really understand why he's playing.

Half of our starting 11 wouldn't get into the top 4 countries squads. As a whole, our team is very overrated!

[Caddy]

There really isn't that many English wide midfielders/wingers who I'd term as world class to be honest. They have/have had a ton of talent in the center of midfield (Gerrard, Lampard, Parker, Scholes, Barry etc) but they just don't produce quality outside guys for whatever reason.

[SuperPacker]

And our best winger is sat at home. Adam Johnson is miles ahead of Downing, Walcott and Milner!

I think Oxlade-Chamberlain is going to be a great player, and i'd say he's already better than those three, so if Johnson moves to a team where he can get regular football, we could have two very good wingers.

Somehow this is Liverpool's home kit;



Yet this is their third kit;

[SuperPacker]

No, that can't be their 3rd kit!

[Gay Ork Wang]

oh god if russland is kicked out, that would be hilarious

Hasn't been confirmed, but its supposedly something very close to that. I'd certainly hope not, but it'd bring the lols.

Hell of a finish in the Poland-Czech game.

[thefalconer]

zhirkov's crosses have been so poor. even his corner kicks.

[Hurricanes25]

What a terrible 2nd half by Poland. They looked very dangerous in the first half but looked like a completely different team in the second half.

[thefalconer]

props and congrats to the greek though. they could use the national morale boost.

Yeah, that first half they were obviously the better team and I was just thinking it was only a matter of time until they put one or two balls into the back of the net. But they were so flat in the second.

[Cigaro]

Russia just fell off the map. Their first game they looked like the team of the group, now they won't even make it to the next round.

[Wootylicous]

Russia fail

[Hurricanes25]

I'm pretty shocked that Greece is advancing. Poland outplayed them but managed a tie, then they lost to the Czechs, and now somehow defeat Russia. Congrats to them though.

[Rosebud]

The Germans need to take care of business against the Danes tomorrow and then stomp Greece. I hate watching anyone play against the Greeks, they just play such ugly football. It's pretty pathetic that they're making it out of the group without creating a single goal themselves. Everyone in that group should feel embarrassed that this happened.

[Gay Ork Wang]

everyone in this group is prolly worse than any other team still in the Euro

Ur Irish were the worst man unfourtnately. I love the Irish. I am Irish, and they know how to party and clearly had the craziest fans, but man do they suck.

If it's tied 3/4 of the way through the match, do the Germans sit back and play for the draw to guarantee elimination of the Dutch?

[Brent]

it's gonna be a good day.

Wooiooo van der vaart!!!!!!!!

[Giantsfan1080]

Portugal misses 2 somewhat easy finishes there.
