dont know about you guys but England kind of dissapointed me, very weak and defensive, not usual from them,

They did what they had to do. England are missing half of their best players, through injury or suspension, and were playing a technically superior team in their first competitive match under a new manager in 30'C of heat. All things considered I thought they played fairly well and, more importantly, got a result that keeps them in the competition.

What I really don't get is why the Portuguese allow that posturing c**k Ronaldo to act as if every game is just a exhibition match for his own talent. It's ridiculous. I'm sure Portugal would actually play much better without him.

I suspect that Ukraine will prove to be the dark horses of Euro 2012. They played much better than their FIFA ranking of 52 would suggest and Sweden were totally under-prepared for them.

What do you mean half of the players? AFAIK Lampard, Barry and Cahill are injured, Rooney has a 2 game suspension and I dunno for what reason, but he decided to bring Carroll in instead of Sturridge. I guess he wanted to have one tall player, now that Crouch is out of the picture, thinking it may be the best strategy for some games.

I think only Rooney and Cahill are the key players, that are really missed. I'd say yesterday only Rooney was really missed, especially after Milner missed an empty goal (fu*k me, he's got Torres' abilities to hit the back of the net), Lescott did a fine job, even scored the only goal. I just don't know why on earth Gerrard is playing as a defensive midfielder, especially with Lampard missing. Who's going to score all those 20-30m goals. They used to do it together, playing side by side. Now no one is doing that.

dont know about you guys but England kind of dissapointed me, very weak and defensive, not usual from them, looking forward to other matches... Shevchenko on the other hand was incredible, wasnt he "injured" on his back?? :o

They probably played for a draw, since it would be enough. Ukraine and Sweden will be a piece of cake, especially ENG:UKR when Rooney gets back and shows Shevchenko what time it is. I'm so glad Englad finally has a great keeper and defense is solid as well, with Gerrard (why???) playing as defensive midfielder in front of the Chelsea's brick wall. Not nice to watch, I agree, pure tactics, but so were all the games so far, except for SWE:UKR. Portugal disappointed me the most, their style was diametrically opposed to what we're used to, for what I love them. CR didn't show much either, nor did Nani, which is my fav Portuguese player

right, Portugal was dissapointing, I hope that tomorrow they will play as they should and know! that said I believe we deserved at least a draw against Germany but its football and the goals are the more important...

regarding CR I saw some stats saying he touched the ball only 33 times, which tells how Germany havent allowed him to play his best, not an excuse yep but there werent much times where he was "alone"

I'm just listening to Russian national anthem. Man, it gives me goose bumps, the best national anthem there is, gives you a feeling of grandeur.

From what I've heard French Guiana is the place to be (for prisoners). Almost 100% humidity all year around (tropical climate too), I bet mosquitoes are eating you alive 24/7.

Can't wait for tonight's games. I hope Portugal destroys Denmark, shows what they're made of and that Nani&CR do some magic together. OTOH, I'm afraid Germans will destroy Netherlands, after their pathetic display against Denmark, I don't think they stand a chance (although I still hope they win, their style of play is great)

Indeed, they have the finest players, hell it's Barca without Messi, and those that are missing (Marcello, Alves etc) are substituted with the likes of Ramos etc. I dislike their Barca like game of thousand passes, but they're still a bit more pleasing to watch than Barca and there's a lot more action in from of the goal, long distance shots from Alonso etc. Torres's first and Fabregas's goal were spectacular.

Croatia was saved by the ref, Di Natale wasn't off side when he had a clear path to the goal and we all know what would have happened.

Nice games - worth watching the championship.

Ireland is making the best of it. Great fans, they made that game an experience.

That's how all matches should be played: nice footie and great atmosphere. Superb entertainment.
