UEFA Euro 2008 - Official Thread

Vieira will not play this year, problem with his leg, Flamini has been called to replace him. I've heard that Canavaro won't do it neither.

**Yasamuu**

Flamini is a good replacement, I don't rate Vieira very highly anymore.

Cannavaro is out for a good 5 months or so at the very least so Italy called up Gamberini from Fiorentina.

I dunno about everyone else but I'm tired of hearing about Ronaldos move to Real Madrid. For starters it's a mistake if he were to move. Secondly, it's like the drama on these boards. Ok, it's interesting at first but then when it appears in almost every paper, article and news headline online and on TV it gets a little boring and annoying. I don't expect Ronaldo to leave United this year and for the sake of his career I hope he doesn't.

Yeah i agree and to be quite frank i couldn't care less what he does. but so far the transfer window has been very quiet so i guess there isn't much to talk about.

**Tseng.**

personally i want to see portugal win. though this is purley for selfish reasons since i drew them in the sweepstakes.

*CENSORED* it! I had such high hopes... Quite a pain to watch the first game.

Group A - Switzerland 0-1 Czeck Republic

The match seemed cagey as what was expected by the two defensive teams. Czeck had the better of the chances in the first half, with Frei, captain of Switzerland limping of, crying at his misfortunes of an apparant injury. The second half opened well for Switzerland, but chance after chance, and several controversial hand ball decisions resulted in nothing, but a quick goal by Czeck Republic. Czeck held out to win their first match 1-0. The hosts had impressed, but ultimately poor finishing resulted in nothing for the hosts.

Prediction 0-1, Result 0-1.

England FT.... never mind. I have no interest in the tournament this year, the atmosphere is not the same. I think that English footballers will have a lot of training to do for the World cup.

Group A - Portugal 2-0 Turkey

The match went Portugal's way for most of it. However it came after three shots hit the bar, but after one hour of play, the 2004 finalists took the lead. Gaining even more control, the Portugues controlled the tempo, and in the dying seconds scored yet another to win the match 2-0.

Prediction 2-0, Result 2-0.

Would be nice, but judging by the attention Europeans get to do with event times, I think that's unlikely.
