Title: UEFA EURO 2004
Post by: MrZammler on June 15, 2004, 12:53:47 PM
Is anyone else here watching euro 2004?

I never thought I would open such a thread (considering Greece's previous euro records ;-) ), but here it is! We're having a hell of a time here in Greece, since the winning opening against Portugal!!

England vs France was also a great match, and I'm looking forward to tonight's Germany vs Holland.

What's everyone's predictions for tonight anyway?

I think that Latvia could spring a shock on Czech Rep. by beating them 1-0. But I think Germany v Holland will be a 1-1 draw though.  :-D

Some good games so far, the opening Portugal vs Greece and the more recent Sweden game with Larsson doing one of the best headers i've ever seen,

Holland vs Germany being the next biggy, to be honest i think we "Ireland" have sorta pissed of Holland beating them in a recent friendly, sorry for the reminder Kees but you must know we aint that much of a walkover by now, ahmm,  :lol:

Anyway i think this one may be close, guess it comes down to how well the Germans are playing on the night and if some of the good Dutch players like Ruud, Overmars, Kluivert are on form.

Doesnt seem to be much unity in either side in recent times so this one gonna be a hard call,  just like the games already played.

Good luck to all.

Oh man, that goal from Ruud Van Nistelroi (hope I spelled that ok), was unbelievable!! Great game!

Now, I'm getting anxius for tonight's Greece vs Spain, as much as I dont want to, I see a 2-0 victory of Spain tonight...

I'm though curious of how Portugal will play...

Your tip came close  :-o

Germany - Holland 1 - 1
Czech - Latvia 2 - 1 (Latvia was leading 1 - 0 for a long time)

Title: Re: UEFA EURO 2004
Post by: MrZammler on June 17, 2004, 09:40:13 AM
And to reply to my own post, yeah GO GREECE!!!

Greece vs Spain 1-1!!! Portugal beat Russia 2-0, so now, everything will become clear on Sunday, it's Greece vs Russia and the big one, Spain vs Portugal.

GO GO GREECE!

Post by: Glaucus on June 21, 2004, 01:02:59 AM
Well Done Greece, you managed to squeak through to the next round!!! I was sure they were out after their humiliating defeat to the Russians, but to my surprise Spain lost without scoring a single goal and thus Greece edges ahead thanks to their Goals Scored stat. *phew*

Wish I could be in Greece right now, I can only imagine all the parties going on...  Although if I were the Greek coach I'd have those guys locked up in a training room running drills - they can party later!!!

Anyway, ENGLAND v Croatia tonight, and i'm hoping for an england win. I want us to play greece, not portugal in the quarters, if we get there.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too, we would rather have England rather than France, but I cant see France loosing to Switzerland though (or even a tie).

Well, after tonight's result against Croatia, I feel like getting a train all the way to Scotland, finding KennyR and shouting "Eng-er-land! Eng-er-land! Eng-er-land!, Eng-er-land! Eng-er-land! Eng-er-ler-and!, Eng-er-land! Eng-er-land! Eng-er-land!, Eng-ger-ler-and! Eng-ger-land!"  :-D  :-D

Of course I am a person who is modest in victory and humble in defeat. But to annoy Kenny, it'd be worth it :-)

Post by: KennyR on June 21, 2004, 10:31:34 PM
Well, you'll have to beat someone better until you can impress me. Beating Croatia was a foregone conclusion. ;-)

(Although England did do well tonight. England matches are always great to watch. Even if the commentator was being an arse again.)

Anyway, let's see if England can do well against a much stronger team in their next game - Portugal.

I worry about this Rooney guy too. He's a great goalscorer but the media are putting him up on a pedestal. It's a long way to fall. If they want him to score goals for England and get them through these much harder stages, maybe they should try not putting so much pressure and expectation on their players? Also seeing an end the public relations execution to the players who DARE make a mistake that gets England put out or whatever would be nice.

Nah, I think Greece would have a better chance against France. Yes, France has one more point then England, but I think they fluked out against England when they scored two quick goals in extra time. Nah, England has the better team. At any rate, it's now settled, France vs Greece this Friday!!!

I was hoping to play against England in the quarter-finals. Last time they played with us had to dive all time in order to get free kicks for Beckham. They equalized in the 93 minute after a non-existing foul :pissed: . I though it's time for revenge but it seems that we have to wait a bit further. Maybe we should kick out the French first...

Post by: Speelgoedmannetje on June 23, 2004, 12:12:11 PM
it seems that the Dutch football fans aren't really fond of a person called "Dick Advocaat" because he kicked out the best player at the match Czech-Netherlands (3-2)
The player is called "Robben" and is a Groninger.

Now they hardly can win anymore.
That's what happen when you kick out a Groninger :-P

Some nasty fans out there. At the Den vs Swe game some fans held a sign that read "2 + 2 = Nordic Victory; bye bye Italia". It was pretty quiet in our "little Italy" the other day. Btw, speaking of Italia, what's with the blue & white uniforms? Why are they wearing tradional Greek colours?!?  :pissed:  Well, now they can root for Greece! :-P

EDIT: Oh yeah, bye bye Germany! But you Germans can root for Greece too, we have a German coach you know!!!  :-P

this is not "work friendly". it's cartoon, so, no it's not porn. RELAX! :lol:

but it features several cultures around the world and i figured this would help "unite" everyone after this game is now over.

or, maybe not!

Czechs are the team to beat. If Greece takes it, Portugal has no chance. Actually, Portugal has no chance either way...  To be honest, I think all Greeks are thrilled that their team made it as far as it did. I just hope they put forth their best efforts as they did with France. If we lose, we shall lose with dignity! GO GREECE GO!!!

hehehe...  I'm guessing you're talking about what was going on in Toronto's Danforth street - Canada's "little Greece". I knew the celebrations there made the national news, good to see it hit the international news channels! :-) My uncle has Greek TV on sat and we were watching the festivities in Omonia Square (the heart of Athens, for those who don't know). Wow! You'd think every single Greek won the lottery that day! :-P

Hamos!!!

I just watched the goal agian. What timing! It's like 14:40 in the first overtime quarter, the corner is called, and I'm watching the players casually walk over to their positions. I'm watching the clock...
14:57
14:58
14:59 (corner kick)

Just finished watching the French GP (what's this got to do with football I hear you ask ;-) ) and 2 or 3 times during the race one of the commentators announces that ITV (the channel showing F1 in the UK) will be showing the Euro 2004 football final live tonight.

He goes on to mention the two teams in the final...

"Portugal, who put England out, against Greece."

FFS!  Who cares!  England are out of a championship, yeah, we all know that!  What they're not telling you is that this is the first time Greece has been in a major competition for 10 years!

Oh no, we can't mention that now can we?  Nobody cares about Greece being 100-1 outsiders and getting to the final.  If it wasn't for that bloody ref it would've been England in the final.....

Go have a drink, Mike.
It's gonna be quiet on the Drive here. All the Portuguese will be mourning.
I guess the Greeks will shut down Broadway with a big party.

Dunno what that means, but the Greek says:

and then Goodnight! :-)

Wow, I can not believe it!!! What a game! Honestly, I'm so happy it's over, the stress was getting to me!!! I was very impressed with Greece's play today. No one can say we fluked out, we beat three top ranking teams in a row, each with a score of 1-nil. In each game you could see the frustrations of the opponents as the game dragged on. It's an amazing strategy and it worked flawlessly. Otto Rehhagel is a genius!

After the game we had a long line of cars, complete with police escort, and paraded from the hall we watched the game down to our "little Italy", where the Italians were out on the street cheering our victory. In the streets there was singing and dancing, and yes, plates got smashed. :-P It was quite the experience.

Think I'll be having pork chops for dinner tonight!  :-D

Well, after the game I walked up to the Drive. We had some impromptu celebration. We didn't have any police escort but two cops on bikes showed up after a while and rode back and forth for a while.

I took a few pics and put them up here.

Fluffy, Nice pics! I'd imagine the festivites in West Broadway/Kitsilano area would be just as exciting.

Yeah, the same thing happened here. After the initial parade, lots of Portuguese came by and we celebrated together (although they didn't stay long). They even re-paraded down the street but this time with Porto cars as well.

On the satellite I saw celebrations in Lisbon, and for a second I thought it was Greece. There were so many Greek flags there it was unreal. I hear there were over 10,000 Greeks at the stadium itself, and probably just as many who never got tickets waiting outside. And I can only imagine that all of Greece is now buring from celebrations. Crazy!!!

Congrats Greece!

I wish I'd had a punt on the Greeks at the start of the tournament, that would've been worth a tenner.

@Mike
So if Canada played Greece who would you support?
And if they went to war? :lol:

I saw Kent play Essex yesterday, and even though I was born in Essex, I supported Kent, because I've spent all but a month of my life here.

I don't know, hard to say. Soccer means more to Greeks then it does to Canadians. I'd probably be happy with either win, but perhaps happier with a Greek win.

I just found out that I've won the office pool. We bet on a points system and the team with the most points pays out. Turns out the Czech Republic comes out ahead by our count coz of all the lovely goal scoring!!

I put $2.00 in and my total winnings is ....











$2.00! Hooray.It seems that I was the only person who bothered to put my money in. Now I have it back. Karmic!

Unfortunately, I don't have a digital camera. I'll have to see if anyone has snapped some pics. Our celebrations did manage to make it to the cover of both the Winnipeg Sun and the Winnipeg Free Press (our two major papers), so that's cool. Unfortunately, my flat bed scanner is broken...  :-(

Btw, I still can't believe it!!!  :-D
