    I suppose it happens a lot these days but it was just ridiculous.

    I took my nine year old boy to play in a football tournament today and there are kids - under the age of ten! - doing the same thing. It saddens and sickens me. It's cheating, plain and simple and when it infects the under tens who ought to be playing for the simple joy of playing, well.... It gives me the shits.
  2. Without expecting much from them the dutch team really disappointed me. The only one who really delivered was Wesley Sneijder (again). I can't see them beating either Germany or Portugal the way they played today. Just kick either de Jong or van Bommel from the team and push Huntelaar up front with van Persie right behind him.
    If nothing changes, we are another vice-world champion who'll leave the ec in the groupe phase (Germany, France and Italy did it earlier)..

    Exactly. It is ruining the sport actually. It makes me hate footballers — that's why I hate Drogba so much!
  4. Part of football unfortunately, not going to go away anytime soon.
  5. Thank God for cricket. I can't bring myself to watch football much nowdays. It's just ridiculous.
  6. Very euphoric atmosphere today here in Croatia. Media are reporting about Croatians and Irish partying and singing together.
  7. Today Spain - Italy
    I hope for a good Game!
    I hope Germany win the Cup!
  8. A fair amount of interest from our forums today. Should be a good couple of games. Ireland and Croatia definitely see the game as the must win game. Slaven Bilic has said himself, that both teams know that this is the game they can win.


  9. Puma fails DD
  10. Haha
  11. Dammit, my fantasy team is horrible. I'll have to fix that.
