Aaand it's off.

We're out.

speedracer · 06-17-2012, 02:31 PM

Last 15 minutes of both matches have been a letdown. MOAR GOALZ

Thankyou Podolski , for scoring against Poland... Króhn Deli I hate you.
V.d. Vaart great shot !! But it looks like its going to be the great Ronaldo show all over again..... Still praying for a wonder.

Still , both games are now back where they where 45 mins. ago.
Damn that.

speedracer · 06-17-2012, 03:09 PM

lol Meireles. I don't think I've ever seen a player flop and *both* teams try to score instead of kicking the ball out of bounds.

Galeongirl · 06-17-2012, 03:30 PM

What a disgrace. Out without a single win. Disgusting for the vice world champion.

I'll be rooting for Germany and France for now.

speedracer · 06-17-2012, 03:32 PM

Tough draw for Denmark, they deserve better.

domo-kun · 06-17-2012, 04:10 PM

Extremely dissapointed now. For both Holland , becuase they wehre actually playing now, and Denmark as well.
Germany deserved a place tough so good for them.
Will be rooting for Germany from now on since my lill country is out.

Vincent Vega · 06-18-2012, 02:55 AM

Was hoping for the Dutch. But if you have such an offense and you don't manage to score some goals, a defeat is somehow justified.

Galeongirl · 06-18-2012, 04:39 AM

That's a good one. Here we call him Gollum, seriously compare the two. Same facial expression and big eyes!

It was very justified that we lost. Our defence was horrible, and the offence just failed to score enough. 2 goals in 3 matches is not much.

domo-kun · 06-18-2012, 07:49 AM

True , i'm just still bummed about it really. This sucks so much.
I hope some of the players can justify their talent in normal competitions becuase we basically saw nill percent of it.

That's also the awful thing about it. Some really did this past season (like Huntelaar and Van Persie), but then it was all gone this past week...

Vincent Vega · 06-18-2012, 12:06 PM

Too many big egos on the field maybe. Against Denmark maybe also some arrogance. They didn't lack the chances, but managed to miss like the Austrians. Against Germany they started with so much ball possession but then received the goals. And against Portugal the goal came when Robben passed for once... to van der Vaart who used to be the substitution player.

nielsgov · 06-18-2012, 12:40 PM

I think the biggest problem with Hollands team is that they left to much open space. The gap between the attack and defence was huge. And the attacking players never did any defending. As a result there was never pressure on the ball.

Oh yeah, there's quite a few shops on him and Gollum.

It's weird though, he is a top athlete, but if you see him you are afraid he's a junkie.

intedomine · 06-18-2012, 06:06 PM

Just got back from the Spain-Croatia match. Cracking match in a super stadium in Gdansk.

What a star Iniesta is!

nielsgov · 06-19-2012, 04:11 AM

It looked quite boring on television. But the atmosphere can make a big difference of course.

Vincent Vega · 06-19-2012, 04:14 PM

That's quite a strong playing field. Greece is the only big surprise.

nielsgov · 06-20-2012, 03:55 AM

It looks good yeah. I'm really enjoying the tournament so far. Not many boring matches.

I'm hoping that Portugal, Germany, France and England progress.

BTW, the UEFA is lucky that the Ukraine goal was offside as well.

CrashedCarDriver · 06-20-2012, 04:39 AM

Good clearance!

Galeongirl · 06-20-2012, 06:57 AM

Ukrain got screwed. Bigtime.

The France - Sweden match was epic though. THAT is the Sweden I wanted to see from the start of this cup. Had they played Ukrain and England like this, they would've won, for sure. Sad that they only figured things out when all was already lost. France started out decently, but the entire 2nd half was full of Swedish chances and attacks.
