Euro 2012: Day 8 Thread

by Duty281 Fri Jun 15, 2012 7:43 am

First topic message reminder :

Ukraine v France (17:00, ITV 1)
Sweden v England (19:45, BBC 1)

Current Group Standings

Ukraine - 3
England - 1
France - 1
Sweden - 0

Group D for Day 8 of the tournament then. At 5, the co-hosts Ukraine will be looking to notch their second win of the competition by causing a shock against the French but in reality, France are strong favourites and will probably win. Then at 7:45, England will look to build on the foundations they've laid on Monday and get 3 points against a team they haven't beaten competitively in years. For Sweden, 3 points is near essential to them staying in the competition after a narrow defeat on Monday. My predictions:

Ukraine 1-2 France
Sweden 0-2 England

En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land...

by Jimmy Moz Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:09 am

Yes. Now thats more like it.

by azania Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:10 am

No Arsenal players to show mental strength.

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:11 am

Sloppy by England. Fortunate by Sweden. There is not too much between these two tbh. Two big awkward strikers and fairly average players at this level.

by Postie Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:12 am

Well I always thought they would score, although it was a tad lucky.

However am not overly worried yet.We can still go on and win this game.

by mystiroakey Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:14 am

england sort it out- push up

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:14 am

Brilliant tackle Johnson! That was a goal if not.

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:19 am

Why on earth is Joe Hart not claiming a ball that is headed in the 6 yard box!! Grrrrrrrrr

by mystiroakey Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:21 am

by azania Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:26 am

I support Arsenal therefore I support Theeeeooooo!!!!!

If he was playing for Sweden I would support Ukraine.

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:26 am

How can an Arsenal fan NOT support England? Doesnt make sense.

Must be Welsh. Or Irish. Or Scottish.

by azania Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:27 am

None of the above.

by mystiroakey Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:27 am

he is a saffa

by Gibson Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:30 am

Then why support an English club-side? Always baffles me that...
Dont they play football in SA?

Ah well.

by azania Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:31 am

Coz I live in London. What's the beef anyway?

My main team are the Orlando Pirates.

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:33 am

Well it hasn't been his day up until that goal. And crap I hope Walcott ain't going off. Shades of Euro 2004 when Rooney went off.

by azania Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:41 am

As I have always said about Theo.......

its like a prem game- different league for exitment and the two closest teams we have to prem style

by azania Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:43 am

More perspiration that inspiration though.

by mystiroakey Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:44 am

well walcott is both az..and welbecks flick might have looked odd but was class

Yep, it's like a Manchester or north London derby, cracking stuff !

by Guest Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:45 am

Get in there Lescott! Bosh!

by azania Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:46 am

Walcott is class. Look at how many assists he created for RvP. People expect Messi or Ronaldo like skills because of Sven taking him to the world cup at 16. He's a totally different type of player.
