Euro 2008

[Adrian II]

Lewandowski, you

If it is the last minute of the match you are NOT trying to rip off somone's T-shirt.

Austria vs. Boruc + 'Rogerski' - 1 : 1

Where this team go ? How could they lose to Austria for the God's sake.

I couldn't believe what I was watching - they were supposed to score AT LEAST twice losing nothing to have a chance, but moved like snails.

To be fair it should be 5 - 1 for Austria.

That's how I have felt about the Dutch team in the past 10 years. This too will pass, friend. Poland will never be lost.

I am watching our football team for long enough.

Last time I seen them doing something meaningful was during the olimpic games in Barcelona ( 1992 ?).

This time it was worse than in last two World Cups.

In Korea-Japan we at least seen an ad hoc team made from reserve players who never played together demolishing the USA who were a suprise of the games in our group.

In Germany there was this tense game with Germany with lots of luck and very good saves to the last minute.

But now ??? The team played well, sometimes very, very well in the qualifying for the Euro, but when it started it turned into one big dissapointment, despite great games in time of one year, despite wonderful Leo 'the magician' and despite Roger who as we see was possibly the only real player except Boruc in the first half.
I think it would be better to replace our non existent defence with plastic dolls, so that these wouldn't stop Boruc from the work he does so well.
But what I really know about football.
Thankfully I am not a real football fan so I can always take the sarcastic stance and enjoy the jokes which will soon appear as always.
I am starting to wonder if I should invest time and money in 2012 - even if the games will be so close I would be able to hear the crowds cheering.

Or I could just blame the president for appearing there so certainly bringing bad luck - quite a good idea because I despise this man and he is no football fan present there only to beat our PM (a devoted fan and player for decades) who couldn't be in Vienna.... a lame excuse to say the least.

Sadly there is no scapegoat.

Now I can bet the team will play well against Croatia - they are always doing that if a game is meaningless, morons. And I think that Lewandowski should not come back.

Poland does not have a good squad, besides that demigod named Boruc and Roger. Sorry.

A good squad ? We don't have a squad, period - for that you need more than two-four players ( Bąk wasn't too bad + there was at least one person in the second half actually worth calling a football player).

[Afonso I of Portugal]

They have one more name - Smolarek! very good player, but not in the tournament. Cegorach is right, Poland played very well in the qualifying for the Euro and they were somehow a promisse for the competition, but maybe some lack of experience will send them home early.

Match Day 6
Netherlands 2 - 1 France
Italy 1 - 1 Romania

[LittleGrizzly]

Can't believe the results today, usually im happy for the underdogs to get a result but did they have to destroy my score in the process....

[LeftEyeNine]

Well I was trying to be "nice" with Poland. I had claimed that they are qualifying phase stars and that's all about it. Apparently I wasn't wrong.

[Husar]

Haha, when I heard that it was 2-0 for Croatia I was quite amused, I know I bet for our team but I was trying to be realistic, deep inside me I like seeing them lose because they're usually overhyped anyway.

[Craterus]

Netherlands 1 - 1 France
Italy 2 - 1 Romania

Tough games to call and I seem to have been getting progressively worse at this.

What I don't understand is why Wasilevsky (spelling?) is playing. That fella should go play Rugby instead.

Wasilewski ( it is not Russian so no need for 'V' and 'Y') plays because there is noone else for his position.
When he plays fine, it is good, if not... Boruc/Fabiański/Kuszczak/another goalkeeper saves us or not.

Match day 7:

The Netherlands 2 - 1 France

Romania 1 - 1 Italy

[scotchedpommes]

Łobodziński looked a half-decent player against the Germans, but the entire team just went missing
today. A shame, as I'd wanted them to do well, though I can't say they'd deserve to go through on
the basis of the performances after qualifying. You never know, the Austrians might nick a point in the
next game if they make use of their good start for once, but I don't think Croatia will lie down by any
means.


Matchday 7 Prediction

Italy 3-0 Romania (1800)

[Meh.]


Netherlands 2-1 France (2045)

[Time to discover a cutting edge, astroteam. I don't think they will - at least that's the hope, because
for once we might see a consistent Dutch side and a very interesting final game between the supposed
big boys.]

Tonight is going to be great fun
