Re: Euro 2012
Phew! What a roller coaster that was! England never make it easy for themselves. Take the lead with a great goal from Carroll first half, then low and behold, let the Swedes back in again as soon as possible second half. Nice cameo from Walcott that saved the day, courtesy of a rather weird goal by Wellbeck.Now for Ukraine, only need a draw, but be sure to keep them tranquilisers handy, by gum you're going to need them!Re: Euro 2012
Not a game for nervous people that's for sure but when did England ever do it the easy way? I thought that Andy Carroll took his goal superbly but what about that superb cross from Steven Gerrard, pure class.Re: Euro 2012
A nice win for England but leaves a lot of questions and I'm not convinced that with Rooney back it will all be sorted. Hopefully we should get an at least a draw with Ukraine and get through to the quarters but England will not win the tournament that much is certain.Re: Euro 2012
It's a well known fact that one man doesn't make a team so in the case of Rooney's return I think it would only be fair to the players who have battled so honestly to keep England in with a shout that he should start on the bench and be introduced as and when he is needed but I suppose Roy will bow to general pressure and reinstate him, we can only wait and see.Re: Euro 2012
Rooney coming back has got to be a bonus. He should certainly be fit and raring to go, if only the silly sod can keep his cool. Incredible that Greece have got through, but that was always a weird group, with the three Eastern Bloc countries put together. Must say I'm really impressed by the pitches in all the stadiums. Need to get the people concerned over to the UK, and have a pop at some of our Premier League mudheaps. On a slightly different theme, regarding the Premier League, that is some chunk of money that they've got from Sky, and surprisingly, BT. Should imagine that some hefty price rises will ensue for both their customers.Re: Euro 2012
Just finished watching the Russia v. Greece game and I can't believe Russia couldn't overcome the Greeks but what I really wanted to comment on is Karagounis' disgusting display of acting after being caught diving in the penalty box. This is exactly what is wrong with elite level football.Re: Euro 2012
Dead right there John, I am rather surprised that ESPN got their noses pushed out in the bidding war, certainly no sentiments about in the dog eat dog world of the great idol called money, it certainly does talk (wish it would chat to me!)Re: Euro 2012
Just finished watching the Portugal / Netherlands game. Great show from Ronaldo, the Dutch were pretty awful, Van Persie in particular. Needless to say the Germans have topped the group. Fascinating permutations throughout this group, as any one could have qualified. Looking forward to more great games in the future.Re: Euro 2012
