Football (Soccer)

[gbougard]

Maximum respect in every aspect to Drogba. Great guy, with such a will to at last win the European Cup. The guy did it all, even getting a penalty kick against him at the 85th!!! To think he's out of Chelsea.

Probably going to to 2-3 years for a zillion in Dubai or China or the USA. But whatever he does, we all know his career ended with that penalty kick that lanced Chelsea the title, the rest is amateur soccer with a huge paycheck…

Drogba is going to China for £250k / week tax paid -  that's why he's not staying at Chelsea.
He said he would love to stay, even if it was just to mow the pitch - bollocks.

[gbougard]

Any idea how much he's making at Chelsea?
Also, I was under the impression that they didnt want him anymore at Chelsea mid-season
Anyway, football is ridiculously overhyped, even though some games are worth watching every year

with that kinda money, who wouldn't be tempted?! to think you are at the ends of your career (strikers usually go on a decline after 32 imho) and get so much more money than what you actually take at chelsea… LOL!

So whos going to win the European Championship?
I see France going nowhere, and if I was a gambler, I'd put a coin on Germany, a note on Spain, Portugal choking as usual, Holland same…. For some reason, I feel no real excitement this year. I hate that Ukraine is hosting it, retard regime...

Pfffrrrtttt!!!!!! Kick-off

Russia vs Cech rep.

Im rooting for Germany and hoping that England will do well this time  :-\

[davito]

my guess for final game is England vs Holland and England does it

[orlylow]

England? No way! Not with half a team of scousers.

My heart is with Netherlands. But I think Germany will win it.

my thoughts exactly…haven't watched a game yet...maybe I'll change that today though

[Megatron1505]

I have a feeling for France for some reason. The usual contenders will be there in the latter stages, and I fancy France, Spain, Germany and either Italy or Holland to be the final four. I honestly doubt that England will make it out of their group.

[obbigood]

Let's switch, Gav! You come live in France, I will take over your house in England….
I love England since young, but they are just.......sigh!
France is full of 'politics'....

I still support Spain this time round.

[Megatron1505]

Ha ha, I only have a feeling for France when it comes to football James, although it seems a fine country 

[Seul]

So many great fecking games… Ok back to Ireland vs. Croatia... 

[Giles]

Just watching the post Ireland/Croatia match analysis.  Talk got around to how England would do tomorrow against France.  Jamie Carragher said,  "it will be interesting to see how we do with out the golden generation"…..Erm, what the feck did the golden generation do for us?

[Morose_Penguin]

Ah now, c'mon Giles… They scored a couple of goals in the last World Cup... Oh...

It's a pity that blind faith doesn't work, England would never lose a sporting event again.

I do love (despise) the English commentators for how quickly they can turn a lull into an opportunity to discuss England.

All the hype makes the eventual crushing disappointment that much funnier.

[rocket]

I like the English team, always a good opponent  ::)

[Megatron1505]

England have been poor for the last 20 years, and I cannot see them (us) getting out of the group.

Wondering what France has to offer…
