    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    Hey Proletariat, are you actually watching the games and are you interested in soccer at all, or are you just trying to beat our ridiculously bad bets for fun? If the first applies, I'd love to see you analyzing a game or team one of these days.

    Visit the chat. Prole is a 'eurosoccer' expert and that's where she shows off.

    bugger I think I'm too late.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Hey Adrian, I'm realising now that I've ignored this soccer fun for too long. I had been interested in the sport for awhile, but it's difficult to follow over here with the lack of coverage so I never got into it. When I saw all the Org a flurrying over this Euro08 and it was being broadcast here in the States, I decided this would be the best time to get my feet wet.

    Most of the games come on while I'm at work, but I've been able to catch the first hour of all the early games this week, and I'll be making sure I'm alert enough by 12am tomorrow to catch Spain and the dreamy Fernando Torres (whether he has a mullet or not).

    For my analysis so far on today's match: Italy is making a grave mistake here and if I were the coach, I'd make certain my team scored often. If Italy had 3 points right now it would be a very different game, and Romania would be ready to go home or just concede. Once the Italians realize that scoring more than the Romanians is key here, the match will be in the bag.

    To be honest, as much fun as I'm having watching, I don't have enough of a grasp to analyze a match yet. To me it's like trying to analyze how water swirls around rocks in a stream, it just seems to flow and react. I can understand defensive traps and offensive ploys in NFL, and the acute tension in a pitcher's duel in baseball, so maybe with time I'll figure out how these formations work and how a soccer play actually unfolds. Craterus has been awfully patient with me in the chat explaining basics, but I think I may need the most powerful education tool of all to get the fundamentals down, a good video game.

    This Italy vs Romania has been very exciting so far, with alot of the high flying attacks I wanna see. Go Italy!

    hi Proletariat, nice to have you along for the fun!

    Whatever the outcome, this is a different Italy from the one who played on Monday. Lobont is the only reason Romania are still level. Great attacking game on both ends though, fun to watch.

    Cretarus is right. Proletariat rulezz!

    Good to have you on board, lady. You just walk the walk, and one day soon you will talk the talk like the best of us.

    As for Neds-France, Jeeesus H. Christ what a match!! I haven't seen such a good match in years. The pace of that second half was absolutely murderous, remarkable. Hats off to the Bleus for never quitting, not until the last second. Poor Henry, poor Ribery, they gave everyone such a great run for their money. And I've seen the hand of God. If you watch that Robben goal in slow motion you see a giant hairy finger tipping that ball up just a few inches so it flies above Coupet's reach. Man, what a goal.

    I wasn't watching it unfortunatelly, but I heard the cheers and screams across the street from at least three pubs.

    I can't wait the quarter finals - the Dutch vs who ?
