EURO 2008

No, I didn't tell me about it?
As England is out I'm supporting Turkey (because of it's interesting history) and Spain (because I can speak a bit of Spanish).

It's great without England in the competition.

No drunken english idiots with the St. Geroge's flags spoiling the calmness of the summer nights!

How true.

The turkey game was amazing! I would have fancied them to beat Croatia in the next game and get through to the semis if their goalie hadn't been sent off.

Did anyone see Frank Ribery making du'aa before the France-Holland game? It was nice to see, but even though he played really well, the du'aa didn't seem to work!

I hate the EURO! Its nicked Eastenders slot

i think portugal and netherlands are going to get to the finals and portugals gona win coz they simply the best team after brazil of course but they dont play the euro so my bets on portugal to win the the euro cup.

It's like rock, paper, scissors. Turkey beat Switzerland, Switzerland beat Portugal and Portugal beat Turkey (before their comeback).
Isn't Israel ment to be playing as well? Or didn't they qualify?

Euro`s are not the same without england! but with england not participating i am going for Holland to win the Euro`s!

technically the county is illegal, isnt even located in Europe and didnt qualify. Turkiye have a great chance in beating croatia as they have plenty of attacking prowess.

i think isreal or as BD bro depicts i***** are too busy to play football... dont u think? with all the taking over the palestine n killig ppl they hav to do... they'v got betr things on their mind!

Israel didn't qualify and kill lots of innocent Muslims
England didn't qualify and kill lots of innocent Muslims

Is Frank Ribery Muslim? I felt sorry for him in tonights game Vs Italy, stretchered off after 10 mins. Luv that name tho...... Ribery. Lol.

How about Karim Benzema, is he Muslim too?

France oppressess Muslim girls and they qualified. But I suppose killing's worse.

who watched last nights matches? all four teams played well, damn Italy only scored their first goal coz of Abidal.. or they wouldn't of had a chance.. bless france and Henry

Italy were easily the better team Vs France. France looked rubbish, they needed Zidane lol. Its really hard to say which team will win, some quarter finals look good!

Here's a collection of a few of England's finer moments.

This is what you are missing by not qualifying!

Its easy to say that but before the de rossi goal france were slowly but surely getting back into the game but just like against Holland they conceded a goal which basically killed them off.

Ribery took the name Bilal after Bilal ibn Ribah (R.A) and Benzema is of Algerian Muslim descent the same as Zidane, there is also Arsenal signing Samir Nasri.

One of the Turkish playes plays for Middlesborough, right?

Tuncay

What a game!

Even I thought Turkey were out.

Last kick by the keeper.... and a rocket into the top corner. The impetus with Turkey, they go on and win on pens!

unbelievable, Sem again please against the germans

Next game they will get thrashed because people are expecting them to do well, thing about turkey is they do the unexpected.

Its funny as a kid i was given the name Rustu because of my eratic goalkeeping now a i fully understand why.
