i favour croatia over the turks... ave no money on this one though.

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.59 | Jun 20, 2008

I wish they still used the Golden Goal rule. It's really needed here. Imagine if Turkey score and take their feet off the gas then Croatia equalise.

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.58 | Jun 20, 2008

Seems so

41158
TXGooner @ 20.58 | Jun 20, 2008

I missed the entire second half due to stupid work!

41158
TXGooner @ 20.57 | Jun 20, 2008

is this thing going to penaltys?

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.57 | Jun 20, 2008

Now that I think of it I remember hearing somewhere that Turkey said they wanted to emulate Greece's Euro 04 run. Maybe they meant the lack of flair too.

thats quality planning to be fair

chimaera01 @ 20.49 | Jun 20, 2008

Seinfeld starts in 15. I might switch and if it's a rerun that isn't too funny I'll watch the match.

Good run by Tuncay

Huh?

GoonerJoe88 @ 20.47 | Jun 20, 2008

is anyone persisting then?

Nah penalties written all over this.

i bet something amazing will happen in ET and my endurance for this letdown will be justified!

Craaaap! Extra Time

yer, olic was close there again but it looks like were going to live another 30mins of this classic

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.37 | Jun 20, 2008

Yeah I remember. Was around the time we got Lehmann

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.36 | Jun 20, 2008

yer hes a good keeper, i believe he was once linked with arsenal at one point

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.35 | Jun 20, 2008

Rustu's immense

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.34 | Jun 20, 2008

thought that was it then with that cross from modric

GoonerJoe88 @ 20.32 | Jun 20, 2008

COME ON THE TURKZ

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.31 | Jun 20, 2008

well, gerrard took it and it was a gift from some sort of supreme power that always seems to favour liverpool in the CL

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.29 | Jun 20, 2008

You mean when Babel got it.

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.28 | Jun 20, 2008

agree
when gerrard got that peno against arsenal in the CL Quarter finals i went off the scale

you are bound to break your own stuff if things go bad

soccer fan law #15: never watch an important game you care about at your place

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.27 | Jun 20, 2008

thats quality, this game needs some sort of crowd trouble, that would aid my attention span and justify getting pissed on my own

44270
racenbl16 @ 20.27 | Jun 20, 2008

kid took it like a champ though and was throwing messi and ronaldinho 'surfs up' signs to the crowd

hahaha

racenbl16 @ 20.26 | Jun 20, 2008

At the Argentina - USA halftime in NY, a kid (no older than 10) tried to run the pitch and got hammered by this 350 pound security guard lol

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.25 | Jun 20, 2008

i might have a few cans if this persists in being utter shite, then it would get interesting

Lol @ riot

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.23 | Jun 20, 2008

yer it might have been 2005, but the point is it was worse than this, there is excitement in this somewhere, its a euros QF there has to be drama!

44270
racenbl16 @ 20.21 | Jun 20, 2008

thats terrible. i would have tried to start a riot if good money was on the table

36702
Frenchi @ 20.21 | Jun 20, 2008

if only that game was ovr...it's so boring

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.21 | Jun 20, 2008

I remember that match. Was in 05 wasn't it?

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.21 | Jun 20, 2008

i have seen worse mate, 2004 i went to Villa park and saw the worst 0-0 draw ever, arsenal had one shot on goal all game and milan baros was offside alot, that was all that happened

44270
racenbl16 @ 20.20 | Jun 20, 2008

hahaa

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.19 | Jun 20, 2008

its ok
i have a whole pack of digestives to aid me and a few tins of rice pudding

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.19 | Jun 20, 2008

LOl I might just check back occasionally to see if it's headed for penalties.

44270
racenbl16 @ 20.18 | Jun 20, 2008

that is a brave risk to take joe

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.17 | Jun 20, 2008

i dunno mate, i have endured this and i would like to think my ability to endure this will pay off with a really exciting final 10 mins or ET

44270
racenbl16 @ 20.17 | Jun 20, 2008

lmao

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.16 | Jun 20, 2008

My prediction is looking less likely now. But I still don't see Turkey going through. I swear if the match goes to extra time I'm switching to Seinfeld on TBS

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.15 | Jun 20, 2008

to be fair FM is the dogz in complete contrast to this game, im still holding on to 1-0 croatia even though they just missed a sitter

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.13 | Jun 20, 2008

Alright cool. You'd forget that there's a Euro quarter finals going on how we're talking about FM

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.11 | Jun 20, 2008

yer caldwell is good, look at some of hibz young players though, this guy called hanlon has real promise and they have a good young right back too

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.10 | Jun 20, 2008

Gary Caldwell's a great defender to sign.

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.10 | Jun 20, 2008

Oh okay. I'm having defensive troubles in mine. I copped like 48 goals last season but scored 60+. The board wanted me to qualify for Europe and i finished 6th. This season they expect us to push
for the title. I think I can even though i haven't made any signings. They gave us 25-1 odds for the title.

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.08 | Jun 20, 2008

im hibernian and it is long but rewarding in a way, they have a young team but im hoping to lay some foundations for success and then fob them off for a bigger club, this game really is dying btw

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.06 | Jun 20, 2008

Damn it I hate when my messages don't send here. Anyway I said:

I'm using Everton. In my second season and I gave Pienaar a permanent contract. I don't really need Zhirkov but I'm tempted to
sign him.

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.02 | Jun 20, 2008

hahaha, my mate signed him and bums him off to high heaven, who are you on fm?

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.01 | Jun 20, 2008

Oh wow!!! Impressive attributes.

43075
chimaera01 @ 20.00 | Jun 20, 2008

Really? I'm playing FM right now, let me look him up lol

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 20.00 | Jun 20, 2008

zkirkov has always been a football manager demon! really not surprised by how good he is in real life. i like schweinsteiger, he looks awesome

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.58 | Jun 20, 2008

Yeah from what I've seen of him in the other games he can pose quite a threat. Other players I've been noticing in this tournament are Zhirkov of Russia and Korkmaz of Austria.

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 19.57 | Jun 20, 2008

i think that was olic, hes always been a good player, surprised someone like blackburn, pompey , or villa havnt had a look at him. hes no eduardo but hes nippy

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.55 | Jun 20, 2008

If that had scored it would've been so funny. How he stuck his head over the line to head it in. Haha

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 19.55 | Jun 20, 2008

you missed out big time

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.54 | Jun 20, 2008

Wasn't looking

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 19.54 | Jun 20, 2008

thought there might of been the threat of a fk in an offensive position for a minute, shock-horror

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.53 | Jun 20, 2008

I think the best game was Czech vs. Turkey and I missed that too.

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 19.52 | Jun 20, 2008

yesterday was the best game of the tourney and i just so happen to miss and now this shite, unbeliveable

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.51 | Jun 20, 2008

lol I doubt it

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 19.50 | Jun 20, 2008

i hope this game can wake me up a bit

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.50 | Jun 20, 2008

This is the first time a match is going on during the Euros and I decided to play music while I watch.

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.47 | Jun 20, 2008

I'm really hoping this match doesn't go beyond regulation time. I want Turkey to win but I see Croatia winning 2-1.

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 19.45 | Jun 20, 2008

hahaha, i know i keep banging on about penos but maybe the croats will just go for it and it will take them ages to break the turks down, 1-0 croatia in ET?

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.43 | Jun 20, 2008

Yeah or when you have heart problems hehe

41320
GoonerJoe88 @ 19.41 | Jun 20, 2008

thats not a bad thing!! penalties are so fun when its not your team!

43075
chimaera01 @ 19.39 | Jun 20, 2008

Yeah I can see it happening too...ugh

nico21horia @ 19.25 | Jun 20, 2008

i think that was a bit of an obstruction by Simunic,.. i might have given the penalty. Two players holding the man from the ball...

nico21horia @ 19.23 | Jun 20, 2008

not really, that's when it began to get a bit exciting.

Croatia - Turkey before Croatia-Germany!!!!

by Frenchi @ Euro 2008: tous les matches des adversaires des Bleus
4 months ago | 1 Comments

I love Croatia.  I remember when Bilic was playing for the national team at the Euro 96, and also in the 98 WC. And now, he is trying to make it as a coach, and I think he is doing an amazing job.      First of all,...
