Euro 2004

[TheArsenal]

The Latvia/Chech Rep game was really good.

The classic David and Goliath....except Goliath won.

Either way it was one hell of a day's football.

[Animal]

Pfffffff atleast we ,made 1-1. Holland was playing terrible. Only Overmars and van Hooijdonk played on their level.

We're definitly lucky to have drawed cause Germany was miles better. They better have learned from this because Czech Republic is possibly stronger then the Germans.

I have to say that Ruud's goal was fantastic, great finish.

[Herr Matzat]

Greece won't score two.

Spain pwn this game. Morientes goal was fantastic.

Nickname/shortform of Charisteas, eglish people don´t get that o easy because you pronounce the h different.

If Greece hold out for five minutes and get the draw I definately think they can beat the Russians and advance from the group, which really make the Spain Vs Portugal game a very appealing one to watch.

[Herr Matzat]

booooooo :/

[TheArsenal]

boooooooya!!

Good contest there again. The age old thing of Spain not winning games they're the much better side in arises again. Looks like their match with Portugal will decide who goes through with Greece.

In other news, I predicted 1-1 and Liverpool got Benitez. Good day. B)

[TheArsenal]

The Russian vs Portugal is already 1-0 to Portugal.

If things don't change, Russian are going home.

[Jonny D]

I predicted 2-1 to Portugal for this match, and I'm going to stick to my prediction, though I do think Russia's goal will be very messy.

[Herr Matzat]

that is pritty high in the list of the gayest red cards ever given, i think he dident even tuch the ball with his arm, even if he did, he did everything to not to tuch it and he clearly was aiming to kick it out.

i hate bad reffering...

[Jonny D]

When I made my 2-1 prediction it was under the assumption that Russia would at least try to attack, but that hasn't happened. Now that they are down to 10 men after that absolutely stupid mistake from the keeper them scoring seems very unlikely.

EDIT: I don't think that was bad refereeing. From the ref's view it would of looked very much like he touched it, and the ref doesn't have replays to help him. If he did touch the ball, which the referee obviously thought he did, then he had to go.

i don´t give a fuck, if he could not see him tuching the ball he cannot give a red card, end of story, the guy dident even tuch the ball, reffering is not about gussing.

[Jonny D]

Eh. After seeing the replay a few times I do think he handled it, but I don't think he should of been sent off, as there is no way the referee could of possibly been 100% sure. The referee just put himself in a difficult situation by giving the free kick so quickly, and after he'd blown for the free kick he had no choice but to give the red card.
