Euro 2012: Day 8 Thread

by Duty281 Thu 14 Jun 2012, 9:43 pm

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 Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:09 pm

Yes. Now thats more like it.

by azania Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:10 pm

No Arsenal players to show mental strength.

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:11 pm

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 Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:12 pm

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 Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:14 pm

england sort it out- push up

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:14 pm

Brilliant tackle Johnson! That was a goal if not.

by Guest Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:19 pm

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

by mystiroakey Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:21 pm

by azania Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:26 pm

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

If he was playing for Sweden I would support Ukraine.

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:26 pm

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

Must be Welsh. Or Irish. Or Scottish.

by azania Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:27 pm

None of the above.

by mystiroakey Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:27 pm

he is a saffa

by Gibson Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:30 pm

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

Ah well.

by azania Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:31 pm

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

My main team are the Orlando Pirates.

by Guest Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:33 pm

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 Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:41 pm

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 Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:43 pm

More perspiration that inspiration though.

by mystiroakey Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:44 pm

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 Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:45 pm

Get in there Lescott! Bosh!

by azania Fri 15 Jun 2012, 9:46 pm

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.
