Euro 2012

Two vans of coppers and lots of happy Poles outside Belvedere last night. No replay.. fail.

So who's looking forward to the Russian hospitality in 2018?

Unless there's some seriously good (or seriously diverting) goings on on the pitch in the next few weeks, I think violence and racism is all this tournament will be remembered for. Which is a shame, I'm looking forward to the games tonight a lot.

Just wait until FIFA bring the whole carnival to Russia for the World Cup. Recent statements by Platini and his like just prove what a joke the governing bodies have become. I'll add Bert van Marwijk to that list. Good on Van Bommel for standing his ground and making van Marwijk out to be a fool, or deaf.

Russia then Qatar, two totally shit host nations for two totally different reasons

What are Teh Rulez on being a plastic international fan?

First team in theory is where you're born. Second team is who you dislike the least or wherever your missus is from.

In my case England and Spain.

Does that make half the Irish side plastics?

What about parents? Or grandparents?

I don't mind Jonathan Pierce, but he is quite a dull commentator. He could make a cup final feel like a qualifier on robot wars

Holland have the beating of the defensive Danes, and then they fall asleep at the back and are a goal down. V. Persie and Affelay have looked particularly tasty..

So many keepers get nutmeged from tight angles. When I was a keeper I was always taught to either get so low, or bend one knee to stop that, so they have to go round or over you.

Robbens got his champions league head on again, trying to win it by himself. V. Persie was in acres of space just had to dink it in to him. Instead he tries it himself and hits the post, someone needs to have a word..

^ typical being robben

Looks to me like v.persie needs longer blades/studs! That's twice in promising positions he's lost his footing..

Just stuck some money on a 3-1 Netherlands win.....mistake they look shakey at the back....might as well flushed my fiver down the lav.

A substitution might change the game. good odds on 2-1 wouldn't be a bad bet for a quid.

If this carries on the group of deaths first casualty will be holland!

Depends on the sub....they just mentioned Dirk Kuyt...
They just need that equalising goal then I belive they will go on to win.

Walked past o'decahanto this afternoon already filling up and a bloke outside selling flags T-shirt scarves and bits, good to see.

Vdv and huntelaar on for Affelay and de Jong. All out attack it is then!

I just want 3 goals and its a steak dinner tonight! Come on get ya shooting boots on. Oooh FFS...great ball in

If Portugal get a result or win against germany, pretty much all of brixton, stockwell and the south Lambeth road as well as the Wandsworth road will be mayhem.. In a good ebullient way..

huntelaar was fouled then. Half tripped before the shot in the box

Reckon the Danes will nick this 2 nil. Chelsea stylee

Actually they are more attacking than chelsea

Whatever the footballing problem is, Dirk Kuyt is not the answer..

Robben is channeling Shaun Wright Phillips. A draw would be no problem for the dutch. That's what they need to concentrate on.
