There's no mention of Euro on the Description part either. But anyways, love it since quite some time now. Ronaldo's part is awesome. I like Blanc as the coach too.
There are reports all over the Net that the Poland-Russia is gonna stir up big issues with hooliganism. I wonder if the match will actually happen without any consequence.
If there's death today, fingers are definitely going to be pointed towards UEFA and Platini for choosing Poland/Ukraine. In case, it's Russia fans who initiate fights, that may leads to issues on them hosting WC2018 too.
Isn't it just a Nike Promo. I don't think it got anything to do with Euro.

Well, people have already voiced their opinion about Poland/Ukraine, if this happens UEFA will be held accountable for all this. I expect a good game Poland being home team, and Russia coming off a game thrashing Czech.
New:
Samir Nasri states that he fooled Hart, as he said Hart knows him from City and Nasri usually takes open footed shots, but this time due to the defence by England he took a closed foot shot and it succeeded, which fooled Hart.
Nasri also went by England bench and taunted Neville after the goal as he told him to "shut his mouth" with hand gesture. there are many English who find it disrespectful, but Blanc has back his player up, with Hodgson also saying he never saw anything wrong in Nasri action.
"Did he? I didn't see anything wrong." Hodgson stated.
Benzema was more upset, as many hit out at him stating he didn't put pressure on England defence and wasn't in the box when cross were being sent in, but Benzema insist that France are like Spain, and teams will play defensively like England did, which made it hard for him to get anything going. He hit out at England tactic, but despite that took positive from this game and France now have 21 game unbeaten streak.
Evra France defender, as well as United hit out at England for playing like Chelsea negative football in CL. He hit out at Chelsea tactic VS Barcelona and states that it seemed like England had 15 people in the box at times.
Sergio Busquets is another to complain about the poor quality of the pitch VS Italy. To make things clear Spain had requested the pitch be water before the game, which was rejected, because the Italian didn't agree.
"Our game is based on quick, one-touch passing and it was difficult to do that on a pitch that had not been watered," Busquets said.
"Italy said they did not want it watered and that is to be respected but it is UEFA that needs to be in charge of the situation in terms of the spectacle.
Busquets example
Playing on a heavy pitch that restricted Spain's passing game was like moving the three-point line in basketball further away so that the team with the better long-range shooters suffered, he said.
Maradona comment to Pele after he said Neymar is more complete than Messi.
"They need to change the medicine they are giving to the idiot," Maradona told the Marca en Zona program talking about Pele Saturday.
lmao
I was assuming the same as I was seeing other nations in here, but the fact that were looking at a France VS Netherlands, which a lot of people excepted the final to be, is more than enough to point it was some what towards the Euros. I've seen a few different videos all says Euros and what not, but it did just come out before the Euros also. But funny nevertheless.

France/Holland is because both teams sport Nike for years. They are long-time ambassadors as is the face of it, CR7.
Actually, the France media is making a mountain of the Nasri gesture. They are literally burying him about being a bad influence for kids, about destroying the French image that is still in re-construction, that he is a poison like Evra/Ribery/Anelka was in 2010 and blah blah blah.
I was just watching the goal, so his celebration didn't matter to me and frankly, making a scandal out of it is stupid when no one care of that topic besides in France/England. So, it has no international image relation. Just play football!
@Benzema and Evra: Welcome to the club of whiners who don't understand that tactic beauty doesn't matter in football. It's all about making a winning tactic.
And Busquets wanted it to be watered so that he can dive anyways.
And I spit my tea thanks to you with the Maradona comment.

- Czech lead 2-0 in 7 minutes with a Greek defense that needs some concentration.
- Greece's goalie was injured and replaced.
- Greece are having a stereotypical play - throw all short and long passes towards Samaras and expect him to either score or make a pass. There's no variation and Czech defense are pretty much controlling the match.
There's 10 players and Joe hart has a Transformers shirt.
Half-time and it's rather boring.

For some reasons, Glen Johnson after the national anthems went for a walk about and missed the photo. Not sure about the transformers thing.

at 0:31 u see Guardiola wants him
Re: UEFA Euro 2012 Official Thread - Discussion, Analysis, Predictions & All News!
Ahh who really cares. I mean Nasri has been said to eclipse a lot of people, but he has yet to do, so lets hope this Euro ran goes good for his side.
These scandals are actually popular in world football.
As I said before diving/play acting can easily be considered tactics, if your looking at it from a winning perspective. As people say, "You'd rather play good football and lose. Than ugly and win."U_U
I'd rather see a club fight with a balance football tactic than relying on one and most importantly staying true to your game. The reason why SaF and Wenger are highly rated coach they stay true to their games and avoid ugly action to win. Wenger hasn't won a trophy in almost 7/8 years, but still his team plays well. This year with 10 games in they were near regulation and the fight they made to come back, too good.
Barca stay true to their tactic, even when they lose they are easily he best team on the pitch, even than as a fan I'm happy we don't change are tactics even if we were down to 10 man we keep playing out game.
Busquets rarely went down in Italy game I think? lol shocking actually. It doesn't change the fact that they have their point.
LOL I was almost on the floor with his remark, I just pictured him saying it in English was too funny.
Milner: No, Welbeck last night was enough still hurts. lmao
Yes, I know that, but they tied it with the Euros, as I don't really see any actually Euro video commercial.

Who cares about method at the end as football is about winning. If you are first, you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.
Yeah, Busquets dive little in this match. As I said, there wasn't enough water to do it.
--
And Czech-Greece ended 2-1.
- Czech decided to keep defending and controlling the match but Cech did a horrendous mistake that made Greek come back at 2-1.
- Afterwards, Czech passes become incredibly missed as fatigue also interfered. It was reminiscent of Poland-Greece where Greece keep having the ball without being too dangerous.
- Russia clearly seems notches above the 3 other teams. Whoever qualify behind Russia in this group, won't go farer than Quarter-Finals except monstrous surprise.
- Hope Russia don't lose against Poland to prove me wrong now Theoretically, they should win their 3 group matches but today's match promises to be pretty hostile.
I don't think they made an International commercial for Euro. There's not even theme songs like for WC 2010.

The thing is Chelsea won CL still they aren't first, Barca still hold that and If England was to win Euros they wouldn't be first either. Sadly they aren't even second
Well, tbh I didn't even think he played the game lol rarely saw him.
