OT - Euro Quarterfinals - Portugal vs. Czech Republic
We're onto the knockout stage, which opens with the Czechs matching up with Portugal.
Will be curious to see if Ronaldo has found his international mojo or if it was just the result of a defeated Netherlands squad. Czechs steadily made their way through their group to advance.
he Czechs have had more opportunities on the wing than I would have expected.
Yellow to Nani was deserved....if for nothing more than his stupidity in actually trying to make a play right there.
Next yellow...not so sure
Go Czech; knock Portugal out
Shame I can't watch game - work
Who does everyone have advancing in the Quarterfinals????
Portugal, Germany, Spain, Italy.
Which I think are relatively easy calls except for the last one.
I wouldnt be too surprised if a couple of the games go to Free Kicks, but its hard to disagree with Germany and Spain advancing under any circumstances...
I am not sure how Italy v England will go....
No faith in Greece? haha
When you think about it, Germany vs. Greece is an intriguing matchup politically. "Psst. Hey, you there. Greece. Nice bailout package you're getting. Would be a shame to lose it. I'd hate to see anything happen to it myself, but just to make sure, you might wanna think about laying it down in the second half. You know how the boss hates to lose, and I don't think you wanna see him angry, myself."
This could theoretically happen in all three rounds, actually.
Don't be surprised if France gives Spain all it can handle. People are jumping off their bandwagon now because of the Sweden game, but the French tend to play to the level of their competition. In the last two years, France has beaten England, Brazil and Germany.
Italy v. England is a big fat coinflip.
Which England team shows up? How crazy does Balotelli feel? Somewhat crazy? Stomp-on-ankle crazy? Eat Wayne Rooney crazy?
I took a shot like Kadlec about 8 months ago and separated the bone from the cartilage on my 10th rib. I am just now able to play without discomfort.
Hope he's okay.
I did something like that in highschool wrestling where my ribs meet my sternum....
Thought I was dying...
So . . . Will there be a live blog of the game, or is this thread it? What time does the game start?
Haha its been over for like 2 hours
