The Euro 2008 Discussion Thread !

Is the Crotia game still on? TV in the US isn't showing this game the bastards!

There's no shortage of streams available for the game if you wanna have a look that way.

 

[Blotto]

Those in the US can watch (nearly) all the matches on ESPN 2 and ESPN Classic. Happy viewing!

Luka looking good, can't wait to see him at the Lane! :grin:

 

[RuislipSpur]

Been very impressed with Modric so far. Cool penalty, hard to knock off the ball, has sprayed a few nice passes around and doesn't look afraid to get stuck in.

 

[nightgoat]

Don't know why Olic needed to clutch his face from a shirt pull...

 

[Bill_Oddie]

Meh, he's no Sherwood.

Thankfully.

 

[Blotto]

For good measure, perhaps...?

That was a pretty blatant foul--two fouls, Pogetez (sp?) is lucky to be on the field.

 

[Yid-ol]

He seems to be sitting alot deeper than i imagined he would

 

[joey.leone]

He seems to be sitting alot deeper than i imagined he would

yeah, i thought the same thing. i thought he would be behind the strikers but hes deeper than that.

Found it thanks. It's my Insight tv guide that is messed up.

I was getting ready to watch Tottenham v Leicester (2004) on ESPN classics then thought I'd flick through all the channels just to double check when I found the Croatia game.

 

[MrWoolley]

He's looked the real so far.

 

[paulspursman]

Olic is it up front looks like a very hard working player even if he is a cheat

Luka is pulling the strings in midfield with his great passing ability

if croatia dont score a 2nd quite soon austria have got a chance here i reckon. they are getting closer and closer. right now you would expect the next goal to come from Austria

 

[Chaplain]

Modric handles the ball well, good vision and good control - there's been a couple of long passes that didn't pay off but the fact that he has the confidence to try them is very good - he also keeps the ball well and has a strong little body. He also plays very low down....I think Kranjcar is playing the more offensive role.

Was that the 4-4? Doherty scored a scorcher of an own goal in that game...

It was 3-1 to Spurs when I changed channels. I think you're right the final score was 4-4

Yeah. Raced into a 3-1 lead, before letting Leicester go 4-3 up :lol::| JD scored a late equaliser though :dance:

 

[paulspursman]

first player praised by the guys in the studio was Modric and i think just about rightly so

 

[KeaneIsKeane]

Modric isn't getting very far up the pitch at all, he hasn't really gone near the penalty box. These Croatia strikers are garbage, they can't hold up the ball and their movement is shit.

 

[Yid-ol]

Hope he push's up mroe in the second half, as i agree with KeaneIsKeane, the strikers are abit usless and need all the help they can get :lol:

 

[paulspursman]

just rewatched the penalty decision and modrics play led to the fould eventually on the striker

the strength modric has shown against guys much bigger than him has been awesome on a few occasions

 

[ChRiStOpHe]

Hansen you cheeky **** :lol:
