Soda Jerk Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Baaah, the Jarmans!Turkey were great going forward, but diabolical in defence.Its a shame their coach has quit. He achieved alot with them this Tournament and they were excellent in qualifying. He overcome a completely handicapped squad throughout and gave the starting favourites a run for their money. Kudos.As long as Russia or Spain win it. Preferably Russia. Arshavin has been outstanding. Hopefully he won't leave Zenit, but it's looking likely.

Lemonade Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I drew Germany and Russia in a sweeper before the tourney started, with 60 for the winner and 20 for runner up, so if Russia win tonight I'm up 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he won't leave Zenit, but it's looking likely.I heard an interview with him on 5 Live yesterday and he said he has already told Zenit he isn't going back there. That was stright from the horses mouth so you can pretty muuch take it as given that he's offski. He said he wants to live in London.

Nev Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Graham Taylor, I'm told.On ITV, David Pleat just said Pavlyuchenko "showed shades of Terry Shedingham". Um...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Graham Taylor, I'm told.On ITV, David Pleat just said Pavlyuchenko "showed shades of Terry Shedingham". Um...?Haha I was gonna point that one out! This is what I was saying a few days ago - Pleat's tactical analysis is always spot on, but his inability to grasp the English language rather lets him down. His column in the Guardian is fantastic, but then I suppose it gets proof-read before it hits the shelves.To be fair, though, that Shedingham fella wisnae bad!Love from Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calum Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 heh. evidently you've angered them.Or the Russians have given up.This was a horribly dull game, for me. Russia never showed up, and yet this supposedly fantastic Spanish side failed to get going at all until the Russians threw in the towel in the last 20 minutes. Torres was woeful tonight, having been marked out of the last game by Chiellini; Silva utterly anonymous save for his goal. Russia failed to test a highly suspect Spanish defence, which, when under even slight pressure (Puyol coming out and jumping staright under a cross, Ramos selling himself needlessly but being saved by his pace and the Russian boy's indecision) looked very shaky.If Spain and Germany are the best sides there, it shows how poor the tournament has been, as far as I'm concerned.

Lemonade Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I hate how he pronounces David Villa as "Villa" as in Aston Villa, when anyone with a grasp of basic Spanish knows it's pronounced "Viya". Also the way they say "Villareal" when it should be "Viyareal". A basic grumble admittedly, but they talk for a fucking living, they could at least get it right. They manage to pronounce Casillas properly. And Mallorca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany (the country you chose to latch on to and has nothing to do with you) lost to Spain, another country which has nothing to do with you, and beat the country that deserved it more and beat them fair and square. The German defence, which is nothing to do with you, did not defend at all well and hence is the reason for their, not your, defeat, should be returning home asking questions for their, not your, defeat.

I don't care what you think, i support Germany and have done for 22 years. Some chimp on an internet forum isn't going to change my mind on that or try and make me feel like i can't support them because he doesn't agree with it. I support Germany so i have the right to say We or Our if i want. Try and stop me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
