Y'know, I'm seriously tempted to ask an0n for your IP, port scan your ass and do all kinds of nasty things to your rig.

I expected less petty anguish from you....

I expected a little more pride from you... Or even a little less pessimism...

Ow, and... GO GREECE!  I so hope they go through to the next round!

Well, thanks! We still got the russians to beat to go through, but let's face it...

If anyone had the guts to tell me last week that we would actually beat the Portuguese and draw the Spaniards, I would think he was insane... . Now I AM MADD!!!!



Well, I live in Alexandras str. 100 meters from the Panatinaikos' historic stadium the "Leoforos". I also happen to be a huge fan of said team.

We Greeks owe our success to 3 things. no 1 is Coach Rechangel or as we call him "Archangel". He got us to understand that we could look the big guys in the face and not give up. Play what we can, and let it rain! The archangel IS THE MAN!!!

2, Panathinaikos (my team) and its continued European success led the way for what you see now. PAO showed that it could be done, because PAO did it.

3, Beginners', dum, Fools' (whatever) luck.

You saw the game we had with Spain. They could easily score 3. Instead we drew them. That doesn't mean they aren't good enough. It is just that they took us for granted. I remember the shot, right after they scored, where King  Huan Carlos pointed that his team would score 2 more goals.

I remember yelling to the top of my lungs that they would get 2 more but not goals exactly... I was right.

Well tommorow, along with some friends we will go to the Athens' Med school nearby (2 Km away, In GOYDI!) and watch the game on the Big screen, (rumours that female students of medicine will be available in blue white bikini tops, are bound to arise, but will have to be examined further).  

God, I hope we pass through. I am sure the team will fight to the death for it.

What I love seeing is the match from hell, Portugal Vs Spain. It would have been a cosy little friendly, with a lot of passing and possibly no scoring, but we went ahead and crashed their party. Now both will fight for their lives and I expect a bodycount.
 
ELLAS! ELLAS! ELLAS!

Hehehe... Spain is probably going to win.

Mourinho should have trained the team from the beggining...

**** **** ****!!!!

Damn the referie and Dick Advocaat for taking out robben!

[Tiara]

Well, Holland lost the game after leading with 2-0. The referee was bribed or something (and I'm seriously not joking. he gave cards for people breathing against their opponent).

This means Holland no longer controls their chances of going through to the quarter finals.

*sees Kas smile*

*cracks Kas's skull with a blunt object*

I'm pissed...

[Darkage]

i am pissed and i am going to drink my self to doom!!

\The guy was so bribed. Before the match they said that the referee in question was 'one of the best in the world'. If he was he wouldn't give red for a schwalbe. Or refuse to give a penalty after they litterally tore him to the ground. Or give a free kick for every time a dutch player would breath in the wrong direction.

[Darkage]

Indeed the red for schwalbe was rediculous. The fool fel over his own damn feet.

He is the bigest asshole of the world.

That award still goes to Advocaat. That asshole substituted Robben for Christ sake. He was the best player in the field. And who does he put in? V. Hooijdonk? No, that would indeed be stupid. No, he puts goddamn Bosvelt in the field.

Goddamn that moron.

[Darkage]

indeed.

Why in the world robben! the ****ing star player!
yes your right bosvelt why him!

i am so pissed off.

*tries to rally the dutch hatred for the spanish referee to try to get their suport for the coming Portugal vs Spain in which his country is likely to lose*

[Flipside]

My condolences to Holland, you did not deserve that. That Red Card was the poorest refereeing I have seen for a long long time

you know, the swedish commentators were really all talking about the clear off-side that eventually led to the 2-0 goal. On the TV I was watching, I thought the ref was biased in hollands favor.

New UEFA rules, the off-side rule only applies to the one receiving the pass. Other players can stray off-side without being called back.

Stupid rule but it was a valid goal.

[Flipside]

Well, from Britain, the ref certainly seemed biased against Holland. Not that both teams didn't play well, but Holland deserved a draw from that match, that Red card amazes me even now! It's got to rank up there with the Maradona incident against England, the guy was halfway to the ground before he even touched Schwalbe

I dont' think I am the only one who will tell you that if a fat lady didn't sing yet, it isn't over!

If Greece could draw the Spaniards, you can sure beat them!

[Rictor]

Hmm, I don't have a TV, so I was listening to it on a BBC webcast; I can't say whether that red card was justified. But the Chezks put up a hell of a fight.

I've got a grudge against Holland, so I was happy to see the Chezks win. During World Cup 98 and the past 2 Euro cups, it was always those damned Dutch bastards who knocked Yugoslavia out of the running. Seriously, its like a curse, every time, its always Holland. I still remember World Cup 98, one of the Dutch players (I forget who, might have been Davids) ran over one of our players. I mean, literally, ran right over his chest. No foul, no card, nothing. I thought the ref must have either been blind or bribed. Thats karma for ya

But in any case, its seems likely that Holland will be advacing to the quarter finals. They're facing Latvia, and Germany has to take on the Chezk Republic, who obviously aren't kidding around. It'll be Holland and the Chezks probably.
