Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted June 12, 2004 Have a look at Belgiums left back, Van Damme, hes 19 years old, played reguarly for Ajax in the champions league, but was second behind their brazilian left back, hes supposed to be really fucking good. nothing to do with the fact he's just signed for Southampton then? , Ajax fans I've spoken to say he's ok and might turn out ok though I got all over excited and created a soccer forum over at SC if anyone's interested. I'm pretty pissed off that Scolari is playing Rui Costa and Couto ahead of Deco and Carvalho right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insane Bump Machine 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2004 Portugal was nervous from the kickoff until half time. Hopefully they'll get their act together now. Figo is the only one who plays very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2004 2-1 final score. Big shock. Since when did Rui Costa get so bad? He was supposed to be a great player in 2000...horrible today. Figo was poor too. Heck, Deco was poor. Spain up next. I know everyone says it every competition, but there could be a chance they shine this year. Morientes is in great form and Raul can produce some magic. Surely there can't be another shock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jpclemmons Report post Posted June 12, 2004 sorry to BUTT in the thread. But it sucks living in America, when the Euro 2004 won't start till monday. at least it'll be Denmark vs Italy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CurryMan Report post Posted June 13, 2004 It´s today the Euro 2004 really starts it feels like, sure two matches yesterday with one huge upset but England has a nationalteam that always is something special since every swede has grown up with the english soccer game on saturday afternoon. France - England is the first big game at euro 2004, as I see it England always put there working boots on when they meet better teams and they drop when they meet lousy teams. I hope this match will kick ass and that England pull trough with a victory. But I have to go with the french winning this and with 2-1. The England goal after either a freekick by Beckham or a assist by Beckham by a cross or a corner. Switzerland - Croatia. I have no idea about this game, I havent really heard anything about these two teams before the championship either. I´ll go with a victory for Croatia since they well I have no idea. 0-2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Anyone else getting nervous? A draw would be a great result for England, I'd be happy with a boring 0-0 now, I think. I think Croatia-Switzerland might be a draw too, 1-1 maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted June 13, 2004 England can lose and I wouldn't be worrying - we can still go through. Although with Greece winning yesterday they have a chance of going through second in their group. In that case the winner of Englands group would face them - and I'd rather face Greece than Spain.

k thx 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 I think we (as in England) definitely need to finish top of this group to get through to the final. I say, take a draw and hopefuly we'll go through on goal difference. But the last thing you need facing the best team in Europe is a centre back pairing that haven't really played together (at least at international level). I can see them getting their wires crossed and letting Henry through a few times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insane Bump Machine 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Damn, you could think our German squad consists only of Michael Ballack, he's the only one who gets interviewed all day on every station. Who cares if he goes to Barcelona or not, we need to beat Holland first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 I don't think England will win this to be honest, and, much as I love Ledley King, he's England's 6th choice centre back (behind Ferdinand, Terry, Woodgate, Southgate and Wes Brown) and that's not enough to stop a strikeforce of Trezeguet and Henry. 2-0 France, maybe even 3-0.

k thx 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Well, win lose or draw tonight, I can safely say Croatia and Switzerland shouldn't be a threat to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Not a great start. Trezeguet nearly buried that header and they're creating big holes at the back at times. Trouble with us is we're doing what we do EVERY match...sit off and let France have the ball on the edge of the box. Gerrard should be attacking EVERY ball because that's what he does best, but he's not. When we're playing Iceland that's ok. France will eventually punish us.
