Damien 1,514 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Is anyone here watching the European Football Championships? I know we have many Europeans around, so there has to be a few of them interested in the tournament :p Awesome Belgium / Italy match coming up today, the first big clash.

PaasHaaS 81 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Aye! I've seen almost all games so far. Most games have been very enjoyable so far and plenty of exciting moments already. Don't get your hopes up too much for the Belgium game though. Belgium will go for a possession-based 4-3-3 against an Italy that will be sitting back, looking to score on the counter. I expect a total borefest either ending 0-0 or 1-0 for whomever gets luckiest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien 1,514 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Before that, we have Sweden playing. Hopefully Ibrahimovic will play well and score some cool goals :p Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaasHaaS 81 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 I don't have too high hopes for Sweden. Sure there's Ibra, but just about everything behind him is mediocre at best. Granted so is Ireland so today's game should be good at least :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaasHaaS 81 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 I don't think I can stand watching this second half. We (Belgium) are playing/set up just as useless as I expected Wilmots to do. Utterly incompetent manager wasting a very talented generation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien 1,514 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 @PaasHaaS Not even Ibra was good in the Sweden game :p Let me turn on Belgium vs Italy. My Internet died on Saturday, so I have to watch everything using mobile tethering... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dvanom 34 Report post Posted June 14, 2016 Naah I'm only watching the Polish games which are free, because here in Poland some douche bought the rights for the Euro matches and you have to pay extra for watching the other games : / I hope our team will get out of their group, this will still be a good result looking at our team for the last 20-30 years :P Watching streams on my laptop wouldn't be too fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Made me think of you :P Well, it's a very common name in Hungary. :) Yes, Orbán is most delighted, now the whole country can see how much the stadiums are worth! And actually the whole country is really proud, fans occupied the great avenue. You can see pictures here in this Hungarian journal :) http://galeria.index.hu/sport/futball/2016/eb/2016/06/14/utcai_karneval_a_magyar_gyozelem_utan/ I'll add some more opinion a little bit later, but I've got to go now :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaasHaaS 81 Report post Posted July 1, 2016 Meanwhile at the euros ... Portugal still haven't won a game inside 90 minutes, but happily keep on trucking towards that final. Belgium playing today against Wales with a very depleted defense; no Vertonghen or Vermaelen (+ no Kompany, Lombaerts) which is not filling me wiht much confidence. I'm hoping our attacking wealth can overcome our poor defense and managerial shortcomings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
