catchoftheday Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Since there is no thread about this im gonna start one.  the EURO 2004 has gone underway in Portugal and this is basically an european version of the World Cup ... lots of quality teams involved and a prescious trophy to go along with it.  my favorite to win it all is the Italian team, which I consider to have one of the strongest squads in recent years.  breakdown of the groups and standings as of now group A Spain Greece Portugal Russia group B Croatia Switzerland France Englad group C Sweeden Italy Denmark Bulgaria group D Czech Republic Holland Germany Latvia  ... please discuss people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 France and Croatia played earlier today and they tied at 2-2 ...

Beinfest4Prez Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I wish I had a soccer feed other than FSN en Espanol. I genuinely enjoy the game and watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Italy tied with Sweeden 1-1 and quite possibly it means that Italy is out and will not advance unless Sweeden beats Denmark or the other way around, a tie and both those teams will advance. Â of course Italy will have to win in order for any of those things to apply. Â ... good game by Italy today, they were on top the whole game and with some better finishes they could have easily won the game 2 or 3 - 0 ... unfortunatly in soccer things like that dont come too easily. Â ... Denmark beat Bulgaria 2-0 Â today is a sad day for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeFish Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Is Fox Sports World doing these telecasts or are they coming from Australia, Britain, or something? They look weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catchoftheday Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 great game today by the way  Czech Republic - Holland  that should be a sick sick sick encounter   --------  the other game today is Germany vs Latvia ... should be pretty easy for Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 the Czech Republic beat Holland 3-2  it seemed like it was a pretty entretaining game as both teams are based around its offense, and both technically have weak defenses. Holland got a huuuge break and a goal on a clear offside play by one of the best strikers in the world today in Ruud Van Nielsterooij  this was a game that I really wanted to see because these two teams have some amazing players including my personal favorite. the Czech Pavel Nedved.

Russia used a player who was tested positive for a steroid for the second leg of qualifying against Wales. In fact that player was their only midfielder to was not completly gassed and he took the set piece that eventually turned into the game-winning goal. And yes the live video streams are free.

BasesLoadedWalk Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Today's the biggest match of the competition so far: Portugal-Spain. Only one of them is bound to move to the next round. You better believe that the anticipation is very high. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catchoftheday Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 on a historical game ... miniscule Latvia tied 0-0 with the powerhouse of Germany   this is really good for a small team like Latvia, who also put up a good fight against the Czech Republic ... a game they lost 2-1 but it was a good game nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 hosts Portugal beat Spain 1-0 on a very important game ... with the win Portugal advances and Spain goes home.  Greece is the other team to advance out of the group ... Greece fell to Russia 2-1 but advance on goals scored Portugal 5 points Greece 4 points .... advances on goals scored (greece 4 - spain 2) Spain 4 points Russia 3 points  ... and another dissapointing cup for the spaniards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
