yep!! portugal sure
-
prob. portugal, but ill be supporting the czechs all the way.
its all about turkey vs czech imo
-
The Sublime Ottoman State.
-
a bit tough i would predict Portugal but both turkey and czechs republic have both got good teams and could possibly cause a upset like the magical 2-2 that knocked out italy in 04 :rolleyes:
-
Portugal first
The Swiss a "surprise" second
-
This is going to be a very interesting group. Switzerland is a very underrated side and Hitzfeld coming in is only a plus. Turkey will look for revenge from missing out on the World Cup, while the Czechs will always pose a threat.
Rosicky has pulled out of the EURO so that will be a hit for them. With that in mind, I see Portugal winning the group and Turkey finishing second.
-
my boys Turkey
-
portugal i think, but you never know what turkey and czech rep. can do
-
Czech Republic ;) :D
-
Portugal clear winners, and then its open who gets 2nd. Turkey have played shit recently, Switzerland is getting very good with their young team and crowd. Czech are always good.
-
omg this is a really good group im surprised more people arent talking about this. i think alex frei of switzerland will turn a few heads here
-
Switzerland and Turkey to go through
-
Tough choice.. Either Portugal or Spain
-
spain is not in this group lol
-
Tough choice.. Either Portugal or Spain
nah the Ivory Coast have been doing good lately lol
-
haha you guys are something else. how many days till kickoff?
-
Turkey and Czech to go through.
ronaldo will cry all the way to madrid
-
I highly doubt that, I can see Portugal going as far as the semis, and maybe farther.
-
I agree, borg. And Ronaldo in the form hes been in will have no need to cry :rolleyes:
-
haha you guys are something else. how many days till kickoff?
according to Borg 12 Days
-
Yeah, 11 days now I believe. I think Portugal has the first game?
-
portugal for sure
-
hey are we going to make a fantasy Euro 2008 league
-
We've already made one.
Go here (http://www.beyondfootball.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0). It's a sticky.
-
czech republic v. switzerland
halftime 0-0
pretty cagey first half. alexander frei went off with an injury right before halftime. may or may not return.
-
Poor guy, he was crying too. I hope he comes back.
-
I hope so too. Apparently, Cech has trouble with the new ball....he gave off a juicy rebound from that strike at around 35-40 minutes.
-
that strike from frei was all over the place
-
yeah, thats what I meant....it just dipped a bit randomly. Cech had to react at the last minute.
-
tf10 what channel are you watching it on? I'm using Omni because I don't have TSN.
-
[Sorry for double post, trying to get conversation going]
Czech Republic break the deadlock and score the first goal of the EURO 2008.
1-0 Czech; about 16 minutes left.
-

I'm using TSN
-
Oh my God, Switzerland denied twice;
Cech makes a brilliant save,
they hit the crossbar.
So close.
-
damn I had to study for exams so I couldn't watch the 2nd half :bang:
-
Cech is a gun btw Turkey will bounce back from the loss
-
I have a feeling the Czechs are going to play similar to the way Greece played in 2004 and be successful with it. Cech is going to be the backbone and Ujfalusi will provide enough cover in the back.
Switzerland really deserved to win this game. It's a shame they got nothing out of it. On top of that, they lost their key player in Frei. Frei has been so damn injury prone! I really feel bad for the guy. :down:
-
yes frei will be big loss, i dont see them having a chance now im afraid :(
czechs are lacking upfront
their strikers in fenin, baros, koller and sverkos dont cut it for me, and no does the 4-5-1 formation.
altho last time around they played poor in the 1st match against latvia and scraped a win, then went on to whoop other countries so hopefully they will do the same
the big game is turkey vs czech for me, thats the decider for who goes through
-
you already know
-
portugal wins 3-1
-
portugal wins 3-1
who scores? :dontknow:
-
Deco, Ronaldo, and Quaresma for Portugal.
Ronaldo played beautifully and also got an assist! :bowdown:
Portugal look very strong.
-

wow
quaresma played?? oh i missed it :down: :down:
-
I missed it too, but I heard he played in the last 10 minutes, I watched some highlights.
-
yes quaresma played, but personally i dont think portugal looked anything special.
its was a pretty even match, until ronaldos goal, and tbh ronaldo had hardly been seen til his goal
-

I agree...Spain and Holland have been the best teams so far
-
Turkey where all over the place for most parts of the first half because of the rain. Second they played very well got them selves back in it and won it at the death. Now they need to beat the Checs.
-
and tbh ronaldo had hardly been seen til his goal
i thought the czechs did pretty well in getting 3 and 4 people around him. too bad that resulted in a (game winning) goal, an assist, and the situation that resulted in deco's goal. he also managed to create a dangerous situation pretty much every time he got on the ball within 30 yards of goal.
-
Go Turkey they will go all the way and lose to Germany in the final
-
That Turkey game was a mess because of the rain. Every pass got stuck in the water. I actually thought it was one of the most fun games to watch while the water laid on the pitch.

I don't agree with you. He got lucky :down:
-
lucky? dude must shit out four-leaf clovers
1:15
seriously, what the fuck (directed towards ronaldo)?
-
what the fuck in a good way or a bad way? Because that was a hard shot to get off...
-
it was more "what the fuck?" in disbelief (of both his confidence and his ability)/a prime example of 3-4 people on ronaldo where he just went off

ahh that makes more sense :cheers:

-

-

Don't tell me you took me seriously... :biggrin:
Ronaldo was rediculous in that game; he unleashed tremendous shots and worked the goal keeper hard.
-
thats the true ELITE talking :cheers:

Classic ELITE and his sarcasm. :bowdown:
-
nah. i would've responded with something like "you are fucking stupid" if i had thought that you were serious. i responded "semi-seriously" because i thought of a "clever" response while i was reading what you had posted. plus, i needed an excuse to post that video
-
Thank you for the standing ovation :popcorn:
well at least someone posted that video, i knew you would. anytime i shit on ronaldo it's obviously to fuck with people
-
i know.
we have to shit on carlos ruiz when we go to dallas :cheers:
-
dude's a bitch
-
ELITE Carlos Costly sucks :biggrin:
-
Ahem, Carlo(s) Costly.
-
fine ELIT(E) :biggrin:
why is the 's' in brackets?
-
Why wouldn't it be?
-
because what the hell kind of name has brackets in it? :dontknow:
-
Now now; the threads going off topic.
Well Portugal is expected to rest it's players tomorrow. I'm looking for Nani and Quaresma to get a start.
-
unfortunately i'll be at work :angry:
thankfully it will probably be a slow day
oh, brah, i have the house to myself for the week. we should terrorize the fuck out of these old people
-
Especially nani. I've got him in fantasy football. But Quaresma needs to see more playing time for Portugal, so I want him to start too. I can't see Scolari not starting Ronaldo, though/
and answer the question, ELITE :cursing:

ELITE you tricky bastard :cheers:
-
:biggrin:
-
czech 2-0 turkey
and Switzerland 1-0 portugal
they are both at 70 minute
-
turkey 3-2 czech :saywhat:
-
Can you belive this?!!! :saywhat:
-
Two goals in 2 minutes...
-
volcan also got red card at the last min :lol: :lol:
-
what a 10 minutes! one of my favourite games so far. melbourne will be happy :biggrin:
-
turkey-czech rep. what a crazy match :saywhat:
- turkey turning from 2-0 behind to 3-2 victory
- assistents flag broke
- 2 guys with a turban
- red cart for turkey-goalie (imagine that player replacing him stopping a penalty, that would fit exactly in the match)
- cech made a huge mistake (the gloves he uses will never be sold anymore i think :biggrin:)
everything together an awesome match
-
What a game. But the ref lost control at the end :lol:
-
I knew this would be the most entertaining match, Damn Nihat is a beast, he single handedly helped them to qualify and now hes put them through to the quarters. *Waits for Croatia game.*
-
Wow that was insane, one of the best comebacks, (next to 1999 ofcourse :biggrin:).
Turkey are without their best keeper now, it was a stupid thing to do. :down:
-
DAMN!!!
I missed the Turkey - Czech game can't believe it.
Gotta watch the highlights.
-

They got Rustu on bench they should be alright. I'm more concerned about Mehmet Aurellio missing the next game due to the yellow cards hes accumulated.
-
Rustu...theres a name I haven't heard in a while
-
Here come the stupid yellow cards that ruin so many good tournament games. The limit should be increased so the quality of teams doesn't fall off. With referees being so inconsistent, you never know when you can get a yellow.
Anyways, great comeback by the Turks. I figured they'd have a pretty good tournament. I do feel bad for Cech though. Just before he made his mistake, I was praising him for being so consistent and being able to avoid silly mistakes. He proved me wrong at the worst time possible.
He was keeping the Czechs in the tournament, and then when it really mattered he let them down.
As far as the other game is concerned, I didn't watch it because it was on at the same time. The second team for Portugal looked good on paper but I guess that's about it. You would think they'd win but that didn't happen. Although some of Scolari's player choices seem shaddy, he seems to make the right decisions in the end.
-
Yeah the yellow cards are really stupid. Today in the Italy v France game there were so many yellows, and not to mention that red card. Baros got a yellow and he was sitting on the bench. :rolleyes:
I thought Quaresma would be more impressive, but Nani was super. He was diving a lot, but maybe he'll settle down like Ronaldo.
-
Nani missed some easy chances, though
-
Nani is hot-headed like Ronaldo was, i say Quaresma's better, Scolari's just gotta give him a chance
