Deutschland, Deutschland _Wir Werden Europameister_. Come On Germany. I was just at an Italian Ice Cafe watching Holland vs Italy, what a game. For world champions Italy did \*\*\*\*, though Holland winning 3 - 0 was just insane against a team of Italy’s strength. France vs Romania was soooo boring. Austria deserved to get at least a draw against Croatia but it wasn’t meant to be. I will be watching every single game. I find it so funny there is no England. Can I haz sticky for duration of tournament? ---

Ok, People if you don’t give a \*\*\*\* about soccer / football. Please don’t post. Only post if you have something worthwhile to say and you like the game. Thanks. ---

Yea, the dutch put on a good show, great counter attacks. The France-Romania game WAS pretty boring though! ---

Italy was lucky they didn’t conceded a 4th when Holland hit the cross bar. At points Italy did look very strong. But when that second goal went it, It was pretty much all other. Saying that Italy had 2/3 chances where they should have put it in. Toni being one of them ---

Italy 0 - 3 Netherlands nice match! But I think that Italy deserved at least one goal, specially after the half-time. Tomorrow is the turn of Spain against Russia! Lets see “el niño” Torres and Villa scoring 3 goals!!! España campeoneeees! OeoeOeoEoEoEO ---

I used to live 15kilometers (approx. 10miles for you non metrics) away from the Stadium in Basel (2nd biggest venue of this Euro), but when something like this happens I am thousands of kilometers (thousands of miles 😉 ) away from home. Well, all I can say is: Italy is world champion I couldn’t care less about the Euro. (I had to say that after the shameful 3-0 against Holland…it hurts ☹ ) Not being able to watch the games (as they are around midnight and at 4am) I have to be happy with summarys and replays…but anyways: FORZA AZZURRI ---

I know - absolutely gutted! I went to see Englands last qualifying game against Croatia at Wembley. All they needed was a draw and they couldn’t even manage that! :(:(☹ ---

I really hope the germans make it this time, they have a great team. It’s a bummer about scotland going out too, we were so close to being qualified ☹ ---

great game from the dutch team!!!.. watched it with joy, best game of the tournament so far. Italians looks out of sorts, seems like they were missing totti for some creativity up front and cannavaro and maldini in the back. Maldini retiring from international football is a big blow to the italians. Great game from the dutch, lucky on the first goal and awesome defense to offense goals from the second and third. Being a liverpool supporter i was hoping for kuyt to have a good game and glad he did… now can’t wait for Torres and the Spain team (my pick to win it) and my country of Greece who i expect to have a tough game with Sweden to come out with the win as well. Funny though one of my favourite players I’ve watched as a kid and followed his career was Henrik Larsson who plays for sweden and even though he doesn’t play much football in big teams these days he has been called up for the euro comp. Its great to see him play again but i’m hoping he dosen’t have a ‘really’ good game, lol 😛 Still early days in the comp so far and it’s looking good, good thing i got setanta sports because with my foxtel iq i can set each game to record and watch them in the morning :beam: Loving it so far, should only get better 🙂 ---

^I prefer to watch the game there and then. So everyday at 6 & 8:45 I’m always in front of the box. I love it when Germany plays because I can wear all my gear, wrap a flag around me and I feel fired up. ---
