Day 1: Poles V Greeks, Ruskies V Czechs

[Ryan]

So how are we doing this? There's no point in having seperate threads for shitty games like Poland V Greece is there?

I don't really give a fuck to be honest, just thought it'd be fun to group the days 2 games into one thread, and then seperate it out like a motherfucker come the knockout games.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing this Lewandowski chap play. Hopefully Fetzfatidis(sp?) gets a run for the Greeks, apparently he's da bomb.

I'm going for 2-0 to the Poles.

Ruskies are decent to watch these days. They'll beat the Czech's. 1-0 I says.

Greece have only lost one game in 21 under this manager so as usual they will be a fucking nightmare to break down.
I'm hoping that Lewandowski gets at least one tomorrow to keep my 50-1 bet coupon going though.
I'll go 1-0 Poland and a 2-2 draw in the 2nd game.

 

[Dreambeliever]

The first game has 0-0 written all over it.

As for the 2nd game I expect lots of goals.

2-3

Looking forwar to watching Dzageov for Russia.

Like Ireland I dont think Poland will win a point.

Although that group A is the shittest group of teams at a Finals ever.

 

[Shadey]

I've been waiting for this tournament what seems forever and predictions are

Poland 3-1 Greece
Russia 2-1 Czechs

🙂

That's one hell of a prediction Dave....................one of the host nations, who are a decent-enough team, not to get a point! I think you're wrong and the Poles & Russia will qualify from the group.

Poland 2-0 Greece
Russia 3-1 Czech

Can't see myself watching the Poland game, its got boring written all over it. Greece just ruin every game with their negative boring tactics. Uncle woy would be their perfect manager.

Looking forward to the Russian game though.

Ok maybe Poland get a point today but I expect them to lose against both Russia and Czech Republic. I must have missed the memo when Poland became a decent enough team.

Decent enough = on a par with the likes of Greece, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Denmark etc, i.e. nothing special but solid with 2 or 3 stand-out players. Add home advantage to that and it's possible they could even get as far as the semi's (unlikely but possible). I think the Czech's could be the whipping-boys of this group and expect them to finish with no more than a point.

[Jake Bullet]

Greece to beat Poland and the other game to end a draw.

 

[Sunny]

On the plus side none of those teams have black players. I think. UEFA will be cock-a-hoop

Calm down buddha for fuck sake!!

I fear the Poland Greece game will be viddy Valium.

You can just see a shit storm coming with regards to the racist issue. I think it started yesterday even. Some reports of monkey chants during Hollands training session.

UEFA are going to look even more ridiculous after this tournament than they already do. Poland and Ukraine??? Fuck me!!!

I've got to record the first match and watch it later. Phineas and Ferb The Movie is on. Guess I'm not the boss in our house.

[Sunny]

Why are Greece playing with 3 goalies Binny ?

 

[Woland]

The first games in every group tend to be shit don't they?

I don't care anyways I'm betting on a goal in the first ten mins, the team winning in the first half to get beat for both sides and 0-0 on every match. Keeps things fun.

Surprised Greece haven't started the group with -3 points due to the country being in administration

 

[Bradley]

It's a disgrace that Gogol Bordello were not put in charge of the opening ceremony.

*Heh, turns out I wasn't far off base:

In 2012, the band recorded a new song titled 'Let's Get Crazy' for Coca Cola's Euro 2012 advertising campaign.
