Nice comeback by Portugal but their inefficiency will be their downfall.

Holland is having the same problem as ARG... from the middle up, on paper, they look stacked as shit... but the defense is shaky and they don't really know what kind of game to play...

Didn't help that their stacked offense laid a fucking egg as well. Their midfield/strikers should be enough for a knockout stage defeat.

But that's because they don't know what game they're playing... ie: RVP sucked, but did he touch the ball more than 4 times?

They do indeed look confused as fuck a times....but did you see their first game vs. Denmark? They had all the opportunity and touches in the world.

And LMAO @ trying to play this game with even less of a defensive focus.

Pants joker Bendtner banned and fined £80k (that's £64,000 more than Porto faced for racism against Balotelli) (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/euro2012/article-2161082/Euro-2012-Nicklas-Bendtner-fined-80k-banned-UEFA-showing-pants.html)

Nicklas Bendtner has been fined an astonishing 100,000 euros (£80,000) and banned for one competitive international fixture for displaying sponsored underwear during Denmark's game against Portugal.

The Danish striker pulled up his shirt to reveal 'Paddy Power' branded underwear on June 13 in Lviv and the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body has taken drastic action against him.

His ban will apply for Denmark's next 2014 World Cup qualifying match, if the 24-year-old does not appeal - he has three days to do so after the written decision is sent to him.

When Porto fans racially abused Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli in the Europa League last season, they were only made to pay £16,700.

Other fines for racism include Spain in 2004 (£45,000), Serbia in 2007 (£16,500) and Croatia in 2008 (£10,000).

Denmark lost the game 3-2 and were dumped out of the tournament when they lost to Germany on Sunday and this will add insult to injury for the striker.

Bendtner's huge fine is almost as much as Russia were docked when their fans attacked stewards during their match against Poland.

UEFA took £96,000 from them for the violence which occured in the stadium, making the size of Bendtner's fine look bizarre.

In a separate fine, Russia were earlier docked £24,000 for fans' misbehaviour, including displaying illicit banners in the stadium, while Croatia paid £20,000 for 'spectator incidents', including letting off dangerous fireworks and throwing missiles, as well as a pitch invasion by a supporter.

Added to the £8,000 fine Germany received for their fans throwing things onto the pitch and the £4,000 Portugal coughed up for delaying the second half of their match against the Germans, it equals £56,000 - £24,000 less than Bendtner must pay.

When questioned about his underwear, Bendtner, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland, said: 'It is just a pair of lucky boxer shorts that I used in the first game as well and have used before the tournament.

'I didn't know I was breaking any rules but I am aware of that now.'

One possible reason the fine is so high is because UEFA want to protect the interests of their sponsors.

After the incident Lars Berendt, communications director of the Denmark FA, said: 'We have spoken to the player and he will not play in those underpants against Germany on Sunday.

'We have an exclusive deal [with rival betting firm, Ladbrokes] and this is, of course, a breach of it.

'And it's also a breach of UEFA's commercial rules - rules against exposing personal messages.'

I see your point but WC runner-up status doesn't mean much these days (cf. France at Euro 08). Plus, when you have a group made of Germany, Netherlands and Portugal; the early elimination of a big gun is not surprising, it's mathematically logical.

I don't get all the fuss about this allegedly legit goal by Ukraine. Clear offside that was missed in the first place, so everything that comes after that is kind of pointless if you want to complain about it.

That being said, how on earth did England get 7 points with that kind of football? :p:
Well, yeah, the other sides in the group weren't better. Good for England that they don't have to face Spain now, though. Going against Italy is definitely better for them.

Euro 2012: ‘Body in river is Irish fan James Nolan’ (http://www.independent.ie/national-news/euro-2012-body-in-river-is-irish-fan-james-nolan-3144796.html)

THE BODY found in a Polish river earlier today has been identified as James Nolan – the 21-year-old Irish student missing in the city of Bydgoszcz – Polish media reported this afternoon.

More than 100 officers and specialist divers have been searching the Brda river for the last three days.

Environmental engineering student James, who travelled to Euro 2012 with a group of friends in a campervan, was last seen in the early hours of Sunday morning.

TVN24 in Poland and other media outlets reported that police had confirmed that the body was that of James Nolan.

The reports also said that a wallet was found with the body which included identification.

Police spokeswoman Monika Chlebicz said that the body was found early Wednesday in the waters of a channel flowing through the city of Bydgoszcz, between Poznan and Gdansk where James and his fans watched the Ireland games.

James' family is expected to arrive in the Polish city later this evening.

The Blessington, Co Wicklow man was in Poland since June 7 for the European Championships.

Gardai said today that they were aware of local reports that a body had been found could not confirm further.

The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Polish police had informed it that a body had been found.

A massive search operation to locate missing James resumed this morning with the Polish police commissioner making it one of his force's top priorities.

It is understood James and his Irish friends may have been involved in an altercation with Polish locals in the hours before he disappeared.

Bydgoszcz is halfway between Poznan and Gdansk, where Ireland played their Euro 2012 games, and the Irish friends stopped off on Saturday night on their way back to Poznan to watch Ireland's game against Italy.

Police divers searched the River Brda, which runs through the city, on Monday and yesterday and were doing so again today when the body was found. More than 100 officers are working on the case, and they are being assisted by top gardai.

Six of Mr Nolan's friends were in a police station yesterday to give statements, DNA samples and review CCTV footage.

And the friends who were the last to see Mr Nolan last night added their voices to appeals for information that could help locate him.

"We've have been watching CCTV all day," said Eoin Burke.

"They are helping us out as much as they can, you can see they're putting serious resources into it. You can see the signs up around town and it's on crimecall tonight."

Others in the group included Aidan Willoughby, Aaron Eustace and Adam Cullen and the local police last night said they were free to go.

Mr Eustace has said he will stay until Mr Nolan is found, although it is understood a number of the wider group of around 15 are considering leaving in the coming days because they have rented camper vans to return.

Monika Chlebicz, the spokeswoman for the regional police force, said around 100 officers were working on the case on Monday, but this had increased even further by last night. "Everything is under scrutiny," she said. "But we can't say what happened on the night."

Chief Superintendent Michael O'Sullivan is leading the delegation of gardai to Poland for the Euros, and he arrived in Bydgoszcz last night to help out Polish police with their inquiries.

"We're just liaising with the police here in terms of what assistance we can give them from Ireland."

A Twitter campaign aimed at finding Nolan, who studies environment engineering at Tallaght Institute of Technology in Dublin, was launched in Ireland with #FindJames and #JamesNolan.

Super Campeones in spanish... it was awesome.

[The Gemini Method]

Sad to hear about the Irish kid who was found in the river--man, it happens but it's still terrible when you're supposed to be having the time of your life enjoying another country.

On a lighter note, I'm glad I didn't put money on Spain this go around...don't see them repeating. If I'm wrong, well, then I'm still glad I saved my monies at least.

The French match up very well with the Spaniards


And Spain has never beaten France in a major tournament

As much as I love Lloris, Spain (as well as 90% of these Euro NTs) is too much for France back 4

[The Gemini Method]

It took Spain forever to finally win the WC but they did it. The French side seems to be less a monster as in year's past. La Roja Furia is not as strong w/o Puyol, but I don't see the French beating them. Spain ends the winless streak against the French this time around.

[Venti Quattro]

I hope Future Arsenal player Hatem Ben Arfa will play well. Yeah, suck it Newcastle and Chelsea. :lol :lol :lol

[Killakobe81]

I must say if Im trading places with one athlete right now it's that pretty ass prick Christiano Ronaldo. He is still young (unlike A-rod, Jeter, Kobe) He is not ugly women fall over him. He is rich as fuck and his game is strong. Sure he flops and whines but can you imagine all the exotic women he turns down?! Much less the ones he bangs?

Hope we get a good match. My youth passion for football (soccer) has been re-ignited since the last two world Cups ...

In english Legaue been partial to Arsenal, I also am a big fan of Messi's game. Internationally I root for Brazil because I always wanted to bang a hot Brazilian chick. So far, no luck.

After his poor defensive efforts against Sweden, Ben Arfa has really slim chances to play major minutes on Saturday against Spain.

Maybe some minutes late in the game as an impact player if France needs to score a goal

[Killakobe81]

Portugal 2:1 over Czech
Spain 2:0 over France
Germany 2:0 over Greece
England 2:1 over Italy (upset)

Amen to the Brazillian bang wish...that would be something to behold...Closest thing i've ever accomplished was date a Chilean girl.

I have watched more Arsenal games than any other EPL league team...I do like Messi's game so I'm partial to Barca, but I don't know anything about La Liga, so I just watch a game here or there when there isn't other sports to watch. I have the soccer/football channel so watching a game from the Russian league can be interesting to say the least.

Gomez and Benzema FTW. I will never, ever pick Ronaldo in my Fantasy Team.

:lol Also I remembered that Cech is my goalkeeper for all my Fantasy Teams.

[Bynumite]

^Van Persie :lol

[The Gemini Method]

Ronaldo can't score on the pitch...but seeing the broads he scores with off the pitch makes it hard to talk shit on the guy...filthy rich and filthy bucking is okay by me if I can't do anything on the field.

[resistanze]

Gomez and Benzema FTW. I will never, ever pick Ronaldo in my Fantasy Team.

:lol Also I remembered that Cech is my goalkeeper for all my Fantasy Teams.

Benzema did fuck all for me last round. If he scores now I'll lost my shit.

IIRC, I picked Gomez, Benzema and Varela. I'll bump my head in the wall if Varela scores in this game.

I would've picked Torres but VdB is fucking retarded. I also wanted to pick Llorente but can't.
