The *ONLY* After Hours thread about the European Championships.

Super-Rush

Another great match in the best tournament I've seen in ages.

Diego Maradona

Ozil taken off again he is a great player to watch, I wonder does the fact that he is a smoker (and quite openly too) have anything to do with it?

prinz

Good match in the right spirit. Was fully expecting a scrap with a lot of fouls, stop/start etc. but it's been a good one. Germany just need to hang on and win.

Diego Maradona

Bender

Heh

Varied

I agree, definitely one of the best tournaments i've seen in a while.

Nodin

...I'd say the only question that'll be asked of the Spanish defence will be 'Can I have your autograph' unfortunately.

kfallon

Ah The Gerries, you can't beat them and 2 goals for Gomez was the icing on the cake

Happyman42

Are the last group games being played simultaneously? Thought I heard RTE say they where on at 5 and 7.45. That can't be right, can it?

lmao

No all on at 7:45pm.

Johro

There is no 'Arjen' in 'team'.










*cries into beer*

Mint Sauce

Thanks Holland. Thats both my bets pretty much gone.

:mad:

K-9

All final group games start at the same time, big reason the Donegal v. Derry games was rearranged.

Germany are the only threat to Spain from what I've seen, though France and Italy could beat them on their day.

Gomez on this form brings the stereotypical efficiency to a solid defence and a good midfield. Germany need a Rummenigge or a Voeller and they may have just found him while Spain lose Villa and wont pick Llorente, even as a sub ahead of Torres.

Always had a soft spot for the Russians, great to watch on their day but again struggle to put away the chances.

I've a few quid on Germany.

You're not the only one

Did Gomez to be top scorer (and Benzema)

And the double of Gomez/Germany and Benzema/Germany. If Benzema would actually like to get into the box at some stage he may score a goal :rolleyes:

I wanted England to do well in this tournament until I saw a photo in the paper this morning of Colleen Rooney boarding a private jet from England to Poland to go and join the rest of the wags. A private jet?! Have they no shame?

She married Wayne Rooney.

I think that answers your question.

I doubt they own their own private jet but you can charter them. If I was "Wazza" I'd have told her to take a normal bloody flight and not make a show of the two of them. In this time of austherity etc.

Meh, if they're paying for it themselves I don't see the issue. She's a pretty big name in the fashion world too apparently so if she fancies spending her cash on a private jet let her at it.

TwoShedsJackson

He's on 200 grand a week, why would they give a fiddlers about austerity? I can guarantee I'd be going everywhere by private jet if I could afford it, airports are soul-destroying.

No doubt they do, if the bigger (snigger ) jockeys in horse racing can afford their own jets I have no doubt a guy who prob earns over £150k a week can afford one too tbh!

SeaFields

A couple of the irish golfers own private jets i think? Fair play i say.. id fecking love one!

BraziliaNZ

Well it's kind of rubbing it in the face of the fans who've broke the bank to get out to the feckin' Ukraine to watch a fairly useless team

I'm sure some Irish 'Celebs' have got private jets out to Poland for the games too, is that rubbing it in the face of the Irish fans who broke the bank to get out to Poland to watch a fairly useless team? I'm sure the Irish fans don't care, they seem to be having a fantastic time out there. The English fans are prob of the same mindset!

kfallon

Btw great to see Mario Gomez having his name up in lights again, he's not had the best of times since his 'Back To The Future' glory days :pac:

Well lads this is the day that Irish sporting history will be made,it will go down in Irish folklore history and surpass any sporting historic event ever to originate from this little island of ours..

This is the day where every man woman and child, will tell their grand children and great grand children about..

In 50 years time old men in the local will ask "were where you when Ireland thrashed Spain that cold June day in 2012?"

Hundreds of thousands will say they were in Gdansk that faithful day, right in front of the goal were we scored all the goals..

So saviour this day lads as we will never see the likes of it again!

I'm getting the same feeling:D

I was just saying this morn that it would surpass Stuttgart in '88 for me IF we won tonight. However I don't see it happening

Pherekydes

If all the planets are aligned and we get the rub of the green and the ref has green shades on, then we might get away with a 1-0 or a 2-1

to Spain

, but I think it's more likely to be 4-0 or 5-1.

Uefa has confirmed the England band will be allowed to play during the games against Sweden on Friday and Ukraine on Tuesday having had their instruments confiscated prior to Monday's 1-1 draw with France in Donetsk

The worst is that they now play 'The Self Preservation Society' stupid song from The Italian Job, cringe

But at least they have more than COYBIG and Fields of Athenry, I can't stand the latter

In 1988 its hard to describe how surreal it all felt.
For the whole match, they were the best team and we still won.
I don't think it can be bested for occasion.

Rather beat England than Spain any day !

Beating Italy in 94 was better than England in 88.

I was at that match too. And no. It wasn't for me.

Great day all the same.

If Ireland pull off a victory tonight, it will definitely be our greatest achievement.

Can't argue that one.

SeaFields

I'm off out for a few pints for it, it being the only match that i'll get the chance to.

A few hot spanish ones in the pub getting all excited will take the dampener off a bad result


Any sign of Trap naming the team yet?

Latchy

I'm heading over to Paddy Powers later this evening to see what the odds are Ireland 'for and against ' .

hondasam

Score tonight 2-1 to Spain.

ITA v CRO 2-2

_Gawd_

what time does this start at?
