UEFA Euro 2016

[Zulkhan]

In all bluntness, I couldn't care less about the winner of this nor I'll give a damn about the final at all honestly. But as Juventus supporter, I can say Pogbà has been quite entertaining tonight.

I'm rooting for Portugal, i have some close Portuguese friends and quite frankly I'd love to see Ronaldo win a big tournament.

[RobertoCarlos]

Yeah would be a nice send off for Ronaldo. Prob last major tournment for him and the national team. Just no shirtless selfies please.

Ive been modding this section since dec. I know how you all work by now (mostly).

Just imagine every game is like a Giants/Cowboys match... when it was still relevant

CL is definitely not bigger than EC or WC.
National team tournaments trumping club level tournaments. Always have, always will.

Goofball.. you'd sleep even better when you're both at the same time.
We really wanted to pull even there with Spain, or ourselves for that matter.

Or France! WC 98, EC 2000

I know! Even though I really do not want you to win it is damn impressive to make the finals in the 2 last tournaments you have hosted.

Not only making the finals, we won the last 2 tournaments we have hosted.

Good. I like English refs, although Portuguese players are quick to go down on the field and they don't go for that. They are the most exempt refs and don't really crack under pressure in favor of the stronger team.

Still trying to figure out how I'm gonna watch the final while on a boat, sailing. Probably gonna see if I can borrow an Ipad or something

I'd love to see Koscielny fly in two-footed & turn Ronaldo into Joe Swanson.

BBC Sport will probably stream it. (Assuming of course you aren't on a Booty Bay type boat)

Good, I'll enjoy watching him laugh at Pepe again if he dives (hopefully he's playing).

Lol me neither, but I was also really surprised to hear Islandic chant coming from French fans. They couldn't come up with something on their own? That was really cheap on their part.

Iceland stole it from Motherwell.

Somebody said that the French league teams sometimes do that but I don't buy it. It's lame appropriation, I understand imitation is a form of flattery but still, stop.

[coprax]

Very poor Euro for all Bayern players (maybe not for Boateng), today they were in 10, Muller was terrible, Kimmich - srsly there isn't better right defender in Bundesliga?

What? Müller and Götze were underperforming and a bit out of luck in this tournament...that's it. Neuer, Hummels, Kimmich all played on or above expectations.
Then we have Lewa, Sanches and Coman (+ Alaba and Thiago, Alaba plays in a shit team and Thiago, I haven't even seen him) in the other teams of which Lewandowski maybe failed to live up to the expactations. Sanches surprised me and played better than I thought. Coman was okay, but did not get a lot of play time.

Not to mention the Portuguese lad they just signed who caught the eye.

Nvm you said Sanches (thought he was called something else for some reason)

[coprax]

Gratz france, the referee played well for your team. Man of the match - referee.

I would not go that far, but he certainly wasn't the luckiest pick by the UEFA.
Was more of a home-team referee.
But ultimately it was a stupid, individuell mistake by Schweinsteiger that changed the outcome of the match.

There is multiple chants for each and every team in the french league. This is one of them. Buy it or not, who cares? If we have to know the origin of every chants we'll find a few surprises, but is it that important? Somebody said it's not from Iceland either so...... Maybe you prefer "seven nation army" or "I will survive" once again? And "we are the champion" for the winners.... how original!

Damn there is more post about that fucking chant than the actual game...

Wathever the chant, people just want to celebrate because they are happy and it's the only thing that matter.

This should make things clear. Date stamp August 2013.
Now if you don't know refrain from criticizing.

Same answer goes to you

What's next you are all going to cry because Griezmann does the hotline bling celebration "hurr durr he stole that from drake, can't he make stuff up hurr durr"

[Deleted]

Motherwell fans have been doing it since the 80s.

Trust me I've seen it first hand.

There's never anything "new" when it comes to football chants.

Everyone pinches something from somewhere.

*cough* Bayern Munich/White Stripes *cough*
