UEFA Euro 2004

[Saracen 16]

Ok this is a european football competition which is like the world cup, but for the european international teams....

 

It's underway tomorrow and it looks to be Englands best chance of winning some much needed silverware.... we need it 1966 was the last time :lol:

 

But we will be hard pressed as our first game is Previous world and european champions France, and they have the best footballer in the world today Zinedene Zidane as well as a few excellent french favourites who play for our domestic league teams, then if we do qualify after the group stages, we are likely to face Germany, and Holland along the way as well as a few more tough teams... so it aint gonna be easy!

 

I'm not much of a football fan.... I prefer rugby, and yes I was right to predict England winning the rugby world cup!! I tell ya i got a nice wad of cash for betting on that happening :lol:

 

And no i aint doing it for Englands football team... you must be joking!!! we will be knocked out either in the quarter finals or the semi's on penalties.... it's England's curse and it's gonna happen again... i know it :cry:

UEFA? we should have won the world cup!

 

We had the strongest team out of all in 2002, its a shame i cant say the same for 2004....

 

I would say the cahnces of use winning Euro 2004 (if we have the same team as we did in 2002) would be about 2 -1

I don't really care too much about soccer. But I'd bet on France... :wink:

 

Don't get me wrong I don't hate England or anything like that, its just that I don't think you guys can get the job done....... Just my personal opnion so don't go bashing me about it.!

I voted yes, but it's been hyped up so much this time round that we'll prolly not even get past the group stage.

I despise premiership/champions leage/all that crap football but the lower division teams are OK, but I am also more of a Rugby man myself.

I voted no. Not because im a scot (well a wee bit ) but because from a football point of view england are lacking in some areas of the park. I have to admit on sunday england for 90 mins did some amazing defending and stopped henry for doing anything untill the last sec. But you real problems come from 1) David James how can he be the best keeper in england he was a diddy from a way back to when he was at liverpool. 2) No left player, you have a great midfield with beckham on the right and gerad and lampard in the middle but you need a natural left-sided player (Allan Thomson springs to mind). 3) Heskey. why does he get a game? theres a reason why liverpool are mediocore in the last fews seasons so you need a worker that can fight for the ball and pass it through to owen and rooney. If sven can get these sorted then england could be in for a chance mabey not this time but the next world cup.

Ive got Germany to win 16-1 ( you can never ignore a team that averages a final in ever 2nd attempt) and henrik larson to be the top goal scorer 66-1 !

i think we'll get passed the group stage just. but i dont no after that,

remember that we held them off and scored against them for the whole of normal time so we will get somewhere in this comp

Hehehe the two footed tackle on Henry... Classic!

 

 

Holland could win it easily if they just learned how to play as a team.....

[Saracen 16]

England have always been the same.... crap under pressure, there's no way England will ever win anything if we can't keep our game together when it matters most....

 

We've always done it though, whenever we do well, and it looks like we are going to win, England F**K it up big time!!! Sundays game against france is a perfect example. But if you look through the history of all the England games since 1966 in an important competition you'll see what i mean..
