well, with the euro 2008 qualifiers being played frequently now, i thought why not start this thread to discuss the tournament.

so, for the results for the previous qualifier matches, it involved england, france, wales, spain, scotland et al (i've also added some qns):

:banana: :winner: :clapp: :yahoo:
I can't believe it!We have 2/2 wins! (although we play a little teribble :lol: )

I saw it. They played really bad... <_<

I don't think that if Raul played, Spain would have won...Although Raul scored twice in Real's previous game, I still prefer Morientes...
But we agree in one thing: aragones sucks <_< :ink:

:hyper: Yay, I'm sooo happy! I watched it! :yes:
Tomorrow is Croatia vs. England... :)

This is such a great Idea.. I'll pin these topics so before Euro starts we can discuss all qualifying games here!!

I'm supporting Italy England and Holland.. for this championship!! :D

*nods* :D

DITTO! :lol:

I support Italy Spain and France

I always though he sucked!!!... even before WC started!
I never liked him!!

Too bad, spain has awesome players but as a national team they hardly work!

:( :crazy: :wacko:

for the 1st time of my short life I support France!!! :unsure:
hope they'll win tonight!! :bounce:

Ermmm.. hehe u never support ur national team??
:o

No I supported them in WC in 98(I was 11 and I didn't even know what football is) and in Euro 2000 but after that I began to hate them..it's not because of the team (even if I don't like many players)but because of the media...I mean when you wake up you listen to radio they talk about 'les bleus", when you go to school on the bus there is a big ad for "les bleus", you watch the news ONLY" les bleus", sports shows "les bleus"...so yes it's cool they love their team but there's not only that in life!
but now I've decided to make an effort :rolleyes:

Forza Azzurri! I will support my country :P But seriously, out national team needs the World Cup spirit!!! Come on boys! We can do it!!! :beers:

Ahhh... CROATIA :clapp: CROATIA! :clapp:



:winner:

I read that Croatia may be disqualified of the Euro 2008 because of what happened I don't remember where... :(

Yes! :(
On Malta... If will be same tonight , we are out... :hit:

Yeah, I heard that,too. Good luck for your N.T.,MeSsSsi! :D

And,of course, I support GREECE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:winner: :banana: :clapp: :maldini: :beers: :yahoo: ;jumpp:

Wowww I like so much this thing of the euro !
U guys have lots of competition there!
I mean.. You guys have so great teams there.. anyone could win!
(Italy, France, England, Holland, Greece, Croatia, Sweeden)

(I imagine Zoe jumping like crazy when Greece won the euro 2004 in Portugal) looool :P :lol:

Here in southamerica when u play copa america you just bet who could win between Argentina and Brazil.. and that's all... LOL!

And why croatia would be out?
They are a cool team! I remember in 98! when they reached 3rd place that was awesome.. in this wc they were just unlucky but they play good football! :yes:

MOJE SRCE KUCA ZA NJUUU, JAKO VOLIM SVOJU HRVATSKUU!!!! :hyper:

Oh, yeah... :rolleyes:
I was jumping like a crazy... :lol: ;jumpp:

Anyway, so many goals yesterday.... :D

And Greece won 4-0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :winner: :banana:
An amasing goal from 'Katsou"... :D

HELLAS

:yahoo: :maldini: :banana: :winner: :clapp: :beers: :D :hyper:

what the heck happened to england??!!

i don't understand how steve mclaren can use a 3-5-2 when the midfield is practically unbalanced! get real, 3 defenders and a keeper who's becoming more of a joke now? it's not like england has the best defence in the world... why couldn't he use a standard 4-4-2 with wing play or a 4-3-3 instead??

i swear, the only player who seems to be putting in even an ounce of effort is former wonderboy-turned-myth rooney...

but it was pretty nice to see germany stroll to a 4-1 win...i really like those lads, cos they really treasure their fans..

GERMANY WON!!! :P :P :D im not a fan but in euro o8 i've to support them cuz there's no brazil and argentina ... :( xD ^^
