Shouldn't it be till kingdom come?

[Hax]

You know what, I don't think so!

[Kralizec]

You know what, I don't think so!

"Kingdom come" refers to an event in time. You wouldn't say "it's not long to tuesday", would you?

@ ajaxfetish: please tell Hax that he's wrong. Better yet: tell him that I'm right.

Holding the tournament in Poland and Ukraine was a a mistake from the off. Both have very big problems with racism, hooliganism and a general dislike for outsiders. The police, whilst trying their best simply aren't up to the challenge. If you were kicked and spat on for simply being a certain nationality, race or even a different football fan the police would be all over the perpetrator like a rash, that is anywhere in Western Europe. The police are either too used to it or harbor such views themselves which can be the only explanation for refusing to act upon such actions. Its quite sad, really, such a poor advert for an otherwise beautiful part of the world. Was actually considering visiting Poland this summer but I think I'll steer clear now.

It's just such a shame that what could have been an expression of Poland and Ukraine's arrival into modern Europe turned out to be the revelation that these two countries are brutal, backward and best avoided.

Yeah, what I reacted to most in the video with the indians being beaten up was that nobody intervened. Nobody helped them. No other supporters. No guards. No police. Just despicable.

Of all the brain-numbing stupidity sourounding this tournament, this isn't one of them. No nation is without hooligans and casuals.

No, there are actual cases of stupidity in euro 2012. I can name a few of them:

- giving it to Poland AND Ukraine was idiotic to begin with. Both nations could've hosted alone. Portugal has far less inhabitants than both countries and hosted alone. Belgium/netherlands was OK, as honestly they should just get over themselves and merge. Switzerland/Austria was stretching it. Poland/Ukraine is nonsense.
- Russian and Polish fans attended the germany-denmark match. No problem. Until they showed their mental deficiences and started singing to each other. A germany-denmark match is about Germany and Denmark. Not Poland and Russia. Idiots.
- No, Ukraine, you don't whistle at Sweden because they retain possession after taking the kick-off. Idiots. You support your own team. Booing at the opposition is appropriate when they act like dorks, not for having the ball.

Huh? Both Belgium and the Neth's are more populous than either Switzerland or Austria.

I was thinking of land area, not population... I know I wasn't very clear.

Going from a stadium in Ukraine to one in Poland takes a day, in Belgium/Netherlands it was a short train ride.
