The Euro 2012 thread

[r dub]

France's squad is ridiculously good if they can stay fit.

All of their defenders play for big clubs, as do their mids, along with Benzema up front.

Exciting times. They also have a new coach and no more political bullshit that we saw in 2010.

There midfield is very average atm. Won't cut it amongst the likes of spain and germany.

LOL @ Italy's defense ahead of England's.

Make no mistake, Terry, Lescott and Cole, along with Hart is fucking awesome. 2 of them denied Barca and Bayern from doing anything special.

GJ isn't as bad as he's made out to be either.

Can't wait until it all starts so it's not just predictions and speculations. We will know who knows what they are talking about.

Spain's defense without Puyol is very questionable. Their defense is made to look good because of their midfield.

Terry and Cole were also pathetic during the PL season

Lescott is nothing special.

[Neville Neville]

Terry's fitness is in doubt. Lescott really isn't that good. On the other hand Ashley Cole's been by far England's best player over the last several years.

I really can't see England not topping that group to be honest. It's fashionable to slag them off and I'm as much a pom-baiter as anyone, but you can't write these cunts off.

Is this being broadcasted on any network here?

[sblack]

SBS will have like 4 games, mostly the late finals.

Other than that, only Setanta

Is this being broadcasted on any network here?

All on Setanta. Think SBS has the semi's and final.

[Special]

That's pretty shit tbh, sbs or fox sports should have it...

Don't have setanta in our package, have to pay for it.

[sblack]

Its like $10. Plus you get online access. So can watch on your computer if you want.

[drd23]

SBS has 8 games. The opening game, 3 other group games (SPA vs ITA, ENG vs FRA and GER vs NED) and then 2 quarters, 1 semi, and the final

SBS to broadcast UEFA EURO 2012 : The World Game on SBS

[Drewy_GFC]

Yeah definitely worth picking it up for a month if you don't have it.

[James Pattinson]

Not really - I'll stream games if I'm interested and there's a fair chance I wont be.

Fox Sports had the last Euro though and I missed so much sleep watching games I didn't care about just because they were on. This time I can avoid that.

[TheStinger]

Defoe has gone home due to the death of his father from throat cancer. He is expected to return but will probably miss the France game.

[Kompany]

Go the Danes!

[Neville Neville]

Go the Danes!

Go Poland!
