group A: Portugal-1st Greece Spain -2nd Russia group B: France-2nd England-1st Switzerland Croatia group C: Sweden-2nd Bulgaria Denmark Italy-1st group D: Czech Rep-2nd Latvia Germany Holland-1st it's really tough to call this shit, cause i haven't really been following the qualifying all that closely... group A is going to be a fucking cracker.... i'm definitely going to make a point of watching the Portugal-Spain game.... group b will be interesting too (in fact, because it's only 16 teams making it... every group in Euro is interesting...)... i have a feeling that England will do well this time around in the preliminary stages... i can definitely see them beating out france, who seem to be on a the decline still... group c is pretty wide open... i wouldn't be surprised to see italy struggle some... but i think they will go through... the choice of sweden for second feels a bit arbitrary though... they have a good team, if they perform, i will probably be right... group d is tough to call... i'm inclined to pick Holland over germany, simply because they have something to prove, having missed the last world cup and all... but the czech republic could easily steal either one of their spots... -the teams who i think have a good chance of winning are Italy, Portugal, and Spain... Italy: because a lot of their players are really firing on all cylinders right now, and i feel like they're due for a triumph of this size... Portugal: cause it's their home turf (which can never be underestimated), and they have a lot of talent... Spain: because they should have made it farther in the world cup, and i think they have a fantastic team... it's a shame they won't have hierro in the back field, but i think they have more than a few players who can replace him... is Luis Enrique retired from international ball now too? |

i like your thought about italy...but imo the truble are not players, they're always the best there are, its simply their way of playing that always bring their chances down. i mean with buffon, nesta and cannavaro they have one of the strongest defences but instead of attacking they're defending way too much...and they have such a great attack...imagine: totti, del piero, vieri, inzaghi...they should be winning matches with at least 3 goals scored, but they're always playing for only 1 goal they have great football experts/managers who are doing great tactics in their league, even attacking strategies, but who ever is coaching the national squad always plays defensive football...i trully hope they change their way of playing this year!!! |

i think Trappatoni fucked them over at the last world cup with his piss-poor coaching... and i've just checked the euro site and i find that he is still coaching them... dammit... well my only hope is that he can realize that Del Piero is itching to win a championship for this team, and he just has to let him on to the bloody field... |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well, if id be in position to select a team i'd put del piero, totti, vieri and inzaghi in the game at the same time...but that is not likely to happen...tho both, totti and del piero can play in the midfield but its not up to me :) |

I think the Czech Republica will win the turnement |

it was 1983 when real madrid last won in camp now in league bye bye 20 years |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
it's a good thing for Europe that strangely enough, Canada isn't allowed in the Eurocup... otherwise, you'd all die!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Let's cut the crap and get a fucking poll going! My votes are as follows - Celtic - 4 Real madrid - 8 Man utd. - 7 Arsenal - 5 Barcelona - 6 Inter - 6 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so when was the last time barca won at santiago bernabeu? and imo kluivert is beeing forced to play too much - he could use couple of matches on the bench...and perhaps saviola could play some more. i have no idea what's their problem, maybe they're playing to much like individuals instead of playing like a team...but thats easy to say, i hope they improve something soon. funkmaster - die laughing? oh, and if i were you i'd send a letter to uefa and ask why canada isnt allowed to play on eurocup |

you know if you would've thought of this before, you could stop by their office while you were in paris (i think its there anyway) and break someones leg or something :) |
||||||||

barça won at bernabeu in year 1997 2-3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you well if ronaldinho will be playing on next match they have pretty good chance of winning again...i think do you perhaps know what is the overal standing in matches between barca and real? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it true that barcelona once won with 13-0 from real? (back in the 40s i think) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
spanish league is really nice to watch, especially if real madrid is playing :) real 2 - 1 deportivo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was a great matvh indeed did you see barça on saturday? the referee went crazy and the match ended 8 vs 8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, no i havent seen that, nor heard of the result :) how many penalties? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1-3 not one penalty there was no fight either just the referee went crazy minute 47 it was already 10 vs 9 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, i see now, i thought match ended 8 - 8 but i see you mean there were 8 players left in each team...i wish i would have seen that there was a little fight in a depor - real match tho...appearantly beckham isnt as calm as i thought he was, but that other guy-scaloni was looking for it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
finally i read something about that overal standings between real and barca - it was in some magazine today, about the last game at nou camp: 73rd match between these two at nou camp (in spanish championship) barca won 43 times - 15 times in the last 20 years real won 17 times - including this last game but it says nothing about matches played at santiago bernabeu... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it will be the other way around for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll post after the game at bernabeu :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right now: spain - brazil football world championship sub 20 spain with one less player since minute 3 for a red car 0-0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
0-0 starts second half |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go brazil!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh... so you support the same team the referee does |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, go ref!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now its time to discuss football!! spain list for eurocup: goalkeepers: Casillas, Cañizares and Aranzubia defenders: Juanito, Puyol, Salgado, Helguera, Marchena, Raúl Bravo, Gabri and César midfielders: Albelda,Vicente, Valerón, JoaquÃn, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Baraja, Etxeberria strikers: Raúl, Morientes, Fernando Torres and Luque |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It strikes me as odd that they took 3 defenders from real madrid while obviously they are some of the most crappy in the liga. The stats say enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
morientes will be playing in england next season |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
100% agree I would have taken these defenders: left: del horno and juanfran center: cesar, marchena, juanito, garcia calvo right: puyol, salgado |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where the hell is reyes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not going... but I understand why he can play as a striker: but is he better than raul, torres or morientes? NOT YET he can play left wing, but we got vicente and luque both did a great season its sad, cos I would have taken one less defender and would have brought reyes too, but... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he plays for the best team in europe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I HOPE FRANCE WINS THIS ONE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he plays in monaco or porto? or valencia? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no really, I WISH FRANCE WINS THIS ONE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YOU KNOW WHERE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
