I couldn't agree more with all of that. England do have other attacking options - Gerrard running at defenders, Lampard and Scholes sniping from the edge of the box - but our mind-set is either to spring Owen on a run, or get a free-kick for Beckham. This two-trick pony has been sussed by every decent team, who deny Owen space behind them. It looks a worse and worse decision to have left Defoe behind, but it's actually even scarier just how thin the cover is in other places... I can't stand Gary Neville, but he played OK, and what other option was there? If not Beckham wide right, who? Still no left midfield... still no Shearer replacement...

 

[PaulUK]

Oh dear, not been paying attention, I see. Off to trade in my Greeks for some more Czechs.

Smart move, methinks... The only problem will come if they lose their SF and you need the money for other players. Some places don't accept Czechs.

 

[Black Tulip]

LOL

I can't get rid of all my Greeks. Damn. Not enough money.
Unless I sell Van Nistelrooy. Fat chance!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I can't buy enough players to spend all my money. Portuguese and Czechs are too cheap.

 

[neonlyte]

It's tense, you can touch the atmosphere.

Only seven hours to go.

PORTUGAL
PORTUGAL

Has everyone made their Predictor and Fantasy Football adjustments?

 

[Nemasis Enforcer]

Has everyone made their Predictor and Fantasy Football adjustments?

Yep... Holland to win... and Czech's to win...

FF team filled with Dutch and Czech's

 

[Lauren Hynde]

God, you're on a self-destruct mood again. This is only fun if you give me some competition, you know?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Hi Lauren.

 

[Nemasis Enforcer]

God, you're on a self-destruct mood again. This is only fun if you give me some competition, you know?

Well see after tonight when Im blazing ahead of you and PaulUK

Good luck... your gonna need it Lauren

 

[Lauren Hynde]

5 hours and 27 minutes to go.

 

[Black Tulip]

4 hours and 25 minutes to go, approx.

Count down!!!

Netherlands-Portugal, will need extra time, but we will win.

Czechs will win too.

Damn, I can't get rid of the last two Greeks.
Anybody has De Boer? He won't be playing, probably never again, he's injured and will likely stop after this tournament.

Good luck Lauren, tissues at the ready?

 

[PaulUK]

Well see after tonight when Im blazing ahead of you and PaulUK

You'll struggle to blaze past me... I have the same Czech/Dutch line-up!!! I guess it might come down to goalscorers...

 

[Lauren Hynde]

1 hour and 15 minutes.

I won't be able to stay online during the match due to computer problems, but I'll be here later on to gloat and make fun of your silly Fantasy Football choices.

Tulip
Sorry. I love the Netherlands. 3rd place isn't that bad.

Yea Lauren, love you too.

You can have my shoulder to cry on, later tonight. LOL

May the best team in red and green win

I've mentioned the idiot Scotsman in another thread, idiot English have sent death threats to the ref. in the Portugal/England match and an English newspaper has drapped a huge flag of St George across his garden in Switzerland. Pathetic, it is only a game.

 

[PaulUK]

OK, we need to form a Committee to organise Lauren's Consolation Party. I'll do the drinks...

 

[Black Tulip]

Well guys, same here. The Dutch coach received threats, his wife too and even the prime minister said something in public to defend the poor guy. That doesn't mean a lot, since he's an idiot ( the prime minister that is), but still gives you an idea about the huffing and puffing.

It's getting awfully quiet outside. Traffic is definitely dying down, hardly any cars go by, no bikes, no men walking their dogs after dinner. LOL

PORTUGAL 1 - 0 HOLLAND

Ronaldo with a headed goal.

 

[Black Tulip]

Hot damn!

That could easily have been 3-0.

Some guys need to get their act together. Way too much panicking if you ask me.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I don't like it one bit. It should have been 3-0 by now...

 

[neonlyte]

Hot damn!

That could easily have been 3-0.

I just hope we don't rue those missed opportunities. Portugal are doing exactly what they did to Spain and England, tight marking key players and no allowing Holland time on the ball.

PORTUGAL 2 - 0 HOLLAND

Fabulous goal by Maniche

 

[Black Tulip]

Shit!!! 2-0



Oh my god. Andrade in his own: goal!!! 2-1
