    Thanks for the info, might be interesting to see what this Nani fella can do. And also, because I was advised to back Belgium each way at 25/1 but I find anything Belgian too boring to waste money bar their delightful beer-flavoured liquids.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,013 ✭✭✭✭eirebhoy


    How did Israel look earlier? I was thinking of backing them now that you can get plenty of value.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Gonna go with that Beligum bet, they had some chances yesterday it was comical at one stage how mnay they missed.

    If you played in the qualifiers for a tournament you are allowed play in it regardless of age then so 23ish.

    I watched Portugal vs Belgium, admittedly just to see Nani, but it was a very poor game. I couldn't believe how poor Portugal were. Belgium were terrific at times, but if they want to progress they have to take their chances. They created so many.

    England have just started against the Czech Republic, 0-0 so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Shocking shooting from both sides, another poor game tbh.

    0-0

    Best thing to happen was Richardson getting subbed. What a pile of crap he is


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    England misss peno in 90th minute, had it gone in it would have been the 1st pass/shot that actually was on target/right in the whole game.

    Shocking game both sides were ****e.

    Carson played well.

    Wonder what odds on all televised games to finish goalless? Agree with you on Belgium btw. Very surprised by some of their football against Portugal.

    So whats the deal with rules re. u21 eligibility ?

    There must be at least 8 or 9 english players who are 22 / 23yrs :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Its actually gotten worse, the standard is terrible. The players look knackered so far.

    Lita with a miss Ronnie Rosenthal would be proud off, add that to his peno and hes on Stinky Fire.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Ha, Lita just did what I like to call a Forlan :) Then just missed another sitter


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    1 minute later he out does himself with a shot off the crossbar with noone in goal from maybe alll of 2 yards out.

    It's not a bad game, Milner is ripping their left back to shreds.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    This is a masterclass from Lita.

    Sky Sports 1.
    Cracking game so far. Pazzini has impressed me for the Italians, he looks a real threat up front. Italy have been shocking at the back!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Rossi's coming on, and he's doing pretty damm good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,529 ✭✭✭Im_No_Superman


    Great goal for Italy. 2-2. Rossi has been very good since he came on alright.

    Celtic are watching Rigters. He said he'd like to join his best mate Sno at Celtic too and has a €300k release clause.

    Lad on Sky is not too bright complaning about the keeper moving off his line, the player has a free shot from 12 yards ffs hes supposed to score.

    love how the pundits freak out about Waterman taking a step forward, but say nothing about carson taking a step.
