Euro 2012

I wish I was at the pub to watch that match. It was great. I could do without the people I was watching it with slagging off any Swedish player and the ref when a decision didn't go our way, but it was great.

I wonder how the match with Ukraine will turn out. France was very average against us and we managed to scrape out a draw, Sweden were not doing very well at all and we only just nabbed the victory there. If we get the Ukraine that played so well against Sweden we are probably in for a long night. Our defense is very poor and our midfield can't keep possession to save their lives, but for once our attackers and goalkeeper are pretty solid.

I thought Johnson was superb in the first game, and didn't do an awful lot wrong yesterday barring occasionally giving the ball away when he's bombed on, which could cost us against better teams. It's the one reason I'm inclined to keep Milner there, just to have a defensive winger and attacking full back.

[Berober]

Since England won, I can still revel in how much I love Olof Mellberg, so win-win!

[Christain#1]

That is how England should play from now on. They have attacking players in most positions so use them. The Ukraine game should be a good finish to the group stages.

If Olof Mellberg were English, we'd be world champions by now.

Mellberg's beard makes me feel like a little girl.

So all we have to do is beat the Czechs and we're through to the knockout rounds (where we'll quickly lose to our Group B opponent).

This is doable

Canada aren't in the Euros!

You're not claiming Poland, Myke is Poland and therefore Poland is good.

You'd undo all that.

What's everyone thinking in terms of which match to watch and which (if any) to stream later on? I like Poland and so feel I should 'support' them more, but I can see Russia tearing Greece apart. Decisions decisions.

Grandfather was born in Krakow, it's a legit claim!

What people tend to forget as well is that Mellberg actually shaves daily, which is why his beard was noticeably shorter for 3pm Premiership games. Truly amazing.

Poland vs Czech for me, since it is really winner takes all.

[gunnar hendershow]

Definitely watching Poland vs. Czech Rep today, should be a huge atmosphere and it's an elimination match so it should be thrilling.

It's also why he would always tire towards the end of games as he is 3kgs heavier than he was at kickoff.

Any idea of rumoured line ups? I heard Pav's supposed to start for Russia, but wanna know if there's any truth to it.

[MDK]

Gambling is bad, Jimmy.
