Euro 2012

  • Laley23
    Denmark is really good. That said, they got a horrible group. But a great start, as I think they beat Portugal. Dutch not making it out? Probably gotta beat both Germany and Portugal.

    Kind of a boring game so far. Germany obviously the agresser and taking Ronaldo out of the game so far

    Wow that could have been 1-0!
  • chicago510
    No clue why the Germans look so tentative in the final third. Lucky to be at half 0-0.

    Probably a dumb question. I realize that. But it was an honest question
  • ohiobucks1
    60% of Russia is in Asia. I can see somebody arguing they are "cultrually European"
  • DeyDurkie5
    fuck the germans. Portugal had the better chances in my opinion.
  • chicago510
    Germans really escaped today. Had control, couldn't finish, then scored and let way off the pedal.

    Will have to be way better against the Dutch.
  • Laley23
    That entire group is gonna have to play better, other than the Danes.

    Russia is not technically in Asia at all, actually. Its weird, but both Russia and Turkey are part of Eurasia. They are economically, politically and geographically part of both continents. Thus, they get to compete in UEFA, and not AFC (Europe football association vs Asian association). Its good for both sides as well. UEFA gets enough teams into the WC that Russia and Turkey can pretty much get in each year, and the competition and money is MUUUUUCH better. They would dominate in AFC, so they probably miss out on some WCs, but just making the Euros makes up for it, since AFC doesnt have any tournament even close.

    Israel does not get along with any of the middle east, and they kind of kicked them out of AFC. UEFA then invited Israel to join. Kazazhstan is the only country I dont know the reasoning. I think it has to do with so many Russians living there, and when the USSR broke up, the elected to "couple" with Russia politically and economically. Maybe that somehow transferred to soccer as well.

    They have to play in Europe because the Arabs banned them in the Asian tournament

    Kinda shocked to see Denmark knocked off the dutch...

    Fucking pissed I've not been able to watch any of the games because of work. That'll change this upcoming week though.
