EURO 2008 Group C

[MissHoneychurch]

Who will make it to the quarter finals?

Romania?

France?

Italy?

I am rooting for France in the game Italy - France. Yes, I want Italy to lose .... call it revenge for them kicking us out in the World Cup 2 years ago in Germany during the semin final.

[MrCoffee]

1. I would love to see Italy-France draw 0-0 and Romania lose by no more than 2

That way Romania moves on and it's arrivaderci Azzurri

[MissHoneychurch]

2. And also Au revoir les Bleus

:rofl:

That would be the most hilarious thing, France AND Italy out. Ouch!!!

[MrCoffee]

6. Oui! That would be tres hilarious.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Game is starting in some minutes

:popcorn:

[Eurobabe]

4. I was hoping someone started a thread!! So who are we rooting for?

I have to go get a beer. Game just started. :toast:

I guess I will say Viva La France!!

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Definitely Viva La France

:D

[Eurobabe]

7. I love Italy, but they

pissed me off with their attitude in 2006.

[MrCoffee]

13. Grosso's dive against Austrialia in 2006 was it for me

Italy never should have moved past the round of 16.

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Italian team soccer practice

[Eurobabe]

9. hey WTF is luca toni doing playing for italia?

i thought he belonged to us? :D

[MissHoneychurch]

10. He plays for Bayern, that is correctly

good thing we don't play them in this round. 2006 was enough in the semi final

[Eurobabe]

11. Where is Zidane??

:rofl: I want to see a headbutt rematch.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. You are bad

:rofl:

zidane quit soccer after the world cup. The headbutt was his good-bye

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Ribery plays a foul

and hurts himself and can't continue to play .... what a start into the game :eyes:

[Eurobabe]

15. Isn't there another game going on concurrently?

France in possession of the ball 59% of the time so far. No goals yet.

[MrCoffee]

19. NED-ROU

[Eurobabe]

16. Rotekarte Abidal (FRA)

[MrCoffee]

17. What happened? Inquiring cube rats want to know!!!

[Eurobabe]

21. Abidal (?) tripped someone and got a red card, then Italy

Pirlo, scored on penalty shot.

[MrCoffee]

22. Did Toni dive?

[MissHoneychurch]

24. No, Pirlo

11 meters

[Eurobabe]

18. Score, Italy!

Penalty shot.

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Darn it

[Eurobabe]

23. Uh-oh, Italia just turned on the gas, they are on fire now

[Eurobabe]

25. Okay now Pirlo is out, yellow card? Edit: No he's not

He tripped a french player and then complained about it. Italy is acting like a bunch of divas again this game.

[MrCoffee]

26. Italian football - more drama than the opera

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Not out

he will be out though in case they make it to the quarter final, it is his second yellow card

[MissHoneychurch]

28. They just said Ribery broke his lower leg

OUCH

[Eurobabe]

29. yikes!! I didn't see that

happened in the beginning right? he was down on the field.

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Yes, Ribery fouled Zambarotti

and hurt himself. Badly.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

30. hmmm... I am in the minority, it seems

born and raised in Italy, an Italian citizen to this day.... Guess who I'm pulling for... :evilgrin:

that red card leading to the penalty kick was warranted. Tackling someone from behind is never kosher.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Italians aren't angels either though

they do their part of fouling too

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

34. abso-freaking-lutely

angels they are not

[Eurobabe]

42. us krauts

are just sour because of 2006. pay no mind. i still love itlay (that's a philly-ism)

[MrCoffee]

33. The ref certainly isn't shy about introducing people to the book.

5 cards, one red?

[MrCoffee]

35. Is this match really that rough?

[redqueen]

36. Dammit... c'mon Romania.

[MrCoffee]

37. Don't look now...

Holland just scored, up 1-0

[redqueen]

38. Why do you think I said "Dammit"?

:P

[Blue_Tires]

39. i knew Mutu missing the pen would let the Azzurri scum off the hook

[MissHoneychurch]

40. 2:0 Italy

1:0 Netherlands

Italy is in the quarter finals

[Eurobabe]

41. ugh,

oh shit. dammit france!!!

[Blue_Tires]

43. holy fucking damn the french suck....HARD

they have been almost as ugly as Greece in this tournament...and some pundit bozo clowns had the nerve to say Switzerland and Austria should not have hosted because they "kept better teams out..."

neither team has been as disgraceful as Greece and France

[MissHoneychurch]

44. I bet a Brit said that

they are pissed because they didn't make it :rofl:

[Blue_Tires]

45. yeah, it was one of the brit commentators on espn

[MrCoffee]

46. Well that was a complete wash.

Le sigh. Spain v. Italy next Monday.

[MissHoneychurch]

47. Yup

now they still can become European Champion :(

[Eurobabe]

48. The Italians kicked France's underpants

[redqueen]

49. Dammit!

x(

[Sultana]

50. .

Hot damn, Italy, Italy :rofl: (They never cease to surprise me)

I wouldn't be surprised if the fluke their way to the final....

France really sucks, Domeneche is going to be sacked

[Sultana]

51. So much for the group of death...

it's more like the group Holland owned, Italy surprised, Romania failed and France sucked ass. :P

I am guessing that MrCoffe isn't happy about this result }(

[MrCoffee]

52. More like Romania surprised, Italy got wicked lucky that France sucked so hard

And no, no I'm not happy, and you're mean for taunting me. :rofl:

[Sultana]

53. I am not taunting you

:D
Ok, you explanation makes more sense

My sister's in-laws are huge France supporters, lol (but at least I caught a glimpse of Benzema, but I am not too impressed......yet).

I hope Portugal make it to the final, ;) Inchallah!
