Good watch, even though the thick accents makes a lot of it hard to understand.

On a related note this

Ya! So who's who in the Fantasy League? I went with the shitty name The Drachmas.

I'm not. I've got all my eggs in the basket of my local bar bracket.

having a polish citizenship I gotta admit that polish supporters are a bit off with whistling against the greek team. they're the home team and should show the world how great they are - but they chose to be the jerks they're actually are.

nice game anyway.

Yeah it's been pretty good.

the fantasy league seemed a bit daunting for me (thanks for explaining it though chockfull)... I will have to make do with the excitement of temporary patriotism (come on england, kill those french bastards), and my friends sweepstakes (ireland and holland, don't let me down) I'm bitter as fuck to be missing todays and tomorrows matches because of work though

pica · « **Reply #1480 on:** June 08, 2012, 12:11:22 PM »

petr cech not looking good during the first goal, as well as the rest of the defenders during the second goal, 25min played way to go czech republic.

I'm missing today's matches too. Although I was able to catch the second half of Greece Poland.

Nice quality nearly live video highlights hear: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/gamecast?id=334181&cc=5901

Just click above the goal....not sure if it will work in the UK. Shirokov giving me some nice points with that second one.

Fuck, Villa is dead and I forgot to transfer him

. I forgot to sub him aswell for Benzema who is sat on my bench

I hope this league does automatic substitutions when there is an injured player in your team.

Didn't realise there was a slap fantasy league so literally just added my team, going to be added after the next points update. woo got 12 points today.

the dress for tonight:

Spike Hawke · « **Reply #1485 on:** June 09, 2012, 05:48:46 AM »

Group of death tonight. Should be two really good matches. Russia looked strong but wasn't a great game. They have a load of talent in there group of players.

I thought it was a pretty great opening day but perhaps the best thing about the euros being on is that I get these dudes on tv all day every day for like a month. Can't wait.

brycickle · « **Reply #1487 on:** June 09, 2012, 08:57:01 AM »

My heart says Denmark, but my bracket knows that Netherlands will win this one.

your heart may well be right... 1-0 right now. still predicting a dutch win though.

brycickle · « **Reply #1490 on:** June 09, 2012, 09:34:47 AM »

That was a pretty cracking goal.

I actually thought we would have our asses kicked for real. Specially judging by the first 10 min, but right now with 1-0 to Denmark i really hope they pull through.

What a good game for Denmark. Holland just couldn't hit the target plus a couple of poor decisions from the ref. Hope the rest of the games are as entertaining as this

nice nice nice. now germany has to do it right.

ALT · « **Reply #1494 on:** June 09, 2012, 11:37:59 AM »

Sake, I was hoping Van Persie would score.

This Germany - Portugal game should be good.

Spike Hawke · « **Reply #1495 on:** June 09, 2012, 11:42:46 AM »

This should be a belter of a game. Hope its a game of footy rather than two teams cancelling out each other.

cringe. · « **Reply #1496 on:** June 09, 2012, 11:45:49 AM »

thanks for nothing holland, don't you know that i have money resting on this

weedpop · « **Reply #1497 on:** June 09, 2012, 02:47:01 PM »

That Germany Portugal game was boring as hell. Gotta give both teams credit for defending well but I expected a lot more in attack. Hopefully the rest of the 'group of death' matches don't turn out like this with both teams just setting out to not lose. Netherlands may have just blown their chances by losing to Denmark.

chockfullofthat · « **Reply #1498 on:** June 09, 2012, 02:55:35 PM »

Ya it was very boring. It was the first full match I watched too. Went out too late to wake up for Denmark v Netherlands. Too bad.
