Let the ball roll! - UEFA EURO 2012

Because I'm French, I tend to cheer for the latins: Portugal & Spain and even Italy.  I used to hate Italy because they played so defensively and the players were like delicate flowers, falling and rolling around in pain if you looked at them the wrong way.  I do like Germany, now that the players are all gay  ;) and play a more interesting game.
I'm worried about Spain today with Villa missing:


Halftime:  Iker Casillas is busy today, that last save was impressive. He's my favourite goalie.

Ha ha, the Italians have the same reputation here. :laugh:
I didn't like the Italinans for a while for the very same reason. They kicked out "my" Aussies in the quater (or 1/8?) finals some years ago unfairly. A dive by an Italian player got them a penalty shot, which was successful and the game ended 1:0 for Italy.
But I guess I'm over that now. :laugh:



Half-time quickie:

Spain : Italy 0:0

No goal so far, but still a lively game. Interesting to watch, I like both teams today.

Just saw your half time edit:
Yep, great save. And he has something mischieveous in his look. I like that.

Kelda:
I know what team I'm not rooting for! England! My celtic roots make me do it!!

Penthesilea:
Spain : Italy ended 1:1


I got to say the result is fair, even though I rooted a little more for Spain than for Italy.
It was a very good game, the best I've seen so far. Pretty fast, both teams didn't fall back on the 1:1 but worked for victory.

But guess what? Both goals were shot while we were eating. *grumbles* I saw almost the complete game, but missed both goals. :laugh:




Fabregas (red, Spain) and Bonucci






Torres had to sit on the bench for the greatest part of the game. But when he was in - boy, he was good!

(One more word about him: freckles :D)


Next one up is Ireland : Croatia in 45 mins
