chasely Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ruh roh. The Dutch might be in some trouble....Also, MLS isn't awful. It isn't great, but it's good to watch when there's a good base of supporters for the home team (Portland and Seattle for instance). Link to comment

cline Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 So, first couple of days done and some interesting matches. I did a UEFA you pick tournament and I'm, ahem, not doing well. Am in the middle of the pack. Naturally, I'd picked the Netherlands. *sigh*BIG match today! whoo hoo!!!! I'm going on what we refer to as "news blackout" soon. We record the game and then watch in the evening. Requires careful avoidance of the news. Also requires husband to forewarn all his co-workers (many English and many European) that we are on blackout today. Should be a great match.Spain/Italy was a pretty good match yesterday. Did anyone here Lexi at the half describe the midfield as looking like his 6 yo daughter's team? Too funny. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

RunningGirl Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I like how this year there is almost no expectation for England to do well at all. Based on the rubbish I've seen over the weekend, we could actually stand a chance. But I'm going to be very English and pessimistic about the whole thing. We probably haven't got a hope in hell :-p Link to comment
Benjsec Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 About as much hope as we have of a decent summer Level 2 Ranger Aspiring to awesomeness Link to comment
RunningGirl Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 None at all then. I've been out of the country for two weeks. Was it seriously naive of me to actually think it might have improved by the time I got back!?! Link to comment
Benjsec Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 That would explain why the last 10 days were kind of bright then!I think you might have missed that half of summer. Level 2 Ranger Aspiring to awesomeness Link to comment
cline Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ha ha! You guys are hilarious! I love the idea that maybe given the weekend's play, England might stand a chance. Tis funny. And alas, is true. As for sunny weather and a nice temperature, eh.... it's just as miserable here as well. And you have the Olympics coming.... should make London in July lots of fun.... my husband company has actually stopped work travel during that time so he's got to get in and out to UK and Spain in the next two weeks. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

skip-tracer Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm finding that two good matches a day is having a seriously bad effect on both my alcohol consumption and the amount of exercise I get. Really quite worrying.England were good for about 25 minutes today but once France had control of it things went down hill. This was the toughest group match though and I think we should now get out of it regardless of Rooney's presence. I was quite surprised to see Shevchenko doing so well tonight. Once he left Chelsea I thought he was as good as done but I was impressed with both goals against Sweden. Link to comment

RunningGirl Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Damn that Nasri!! My boyfriend had a bet on England winning 1-0 with Lescott scoring. He would have made £300 from a £2 bet. That Nasri ruins everything! And I'm not just saying that as a bitter Arsenal supporter.... Link to comment
cline Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Was a decent match all things considered. Did you see Rooney's face after that early missed goal? Priceless. England didn't look too shabby. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

Really quite worrying.Oh me too! First, 2 weeks ago was vacation (included microbrew stops), then I came home to Beer Week here (not kidding). Over the weekend we said "aaahhh back to less beer, better for diet". Then UEFA started.... I pointed out the Tour would be starting soon and my husband said "yeah, but you don't drink beer when you watch the tour". Too funny.

Raff42 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hey everyone, I am an Englander also! I love the Euros! I also love that no one thinks england will do well. I loved the first game and was happy with the result. I feel like if our expectations are so low, we will always be surprised :-)Are there any liverpool supporters here?

chasely Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Super excited for the "group of death" matches today. Thank goodness for the WatchESPN app, so I can tune in at work. Keep that quiet though. Doubt y coworkers would understand Link to comment
JediJem Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I don't really care about football at all, but being Swedish in London I kinda HAVE to watch the England-Sweden game on Friday...hoping we can maintain that never-beaten track record. Always kick higher Link to comment
