European Football Thread

Uruguay does have some other great players, but this morning they were without Suarez and Forlan.

 

Haha, for one i'm Dutch and that was based off the fucking shithouse performance against the Germans. Just don't think Robben will be fit, Kuyt and Babel are not good enough wingers and too much will rely on Sneijder and van Persie's performances, also the weaknesses at left back will be brutally exposed like the other night unless van Bronckhorst makes a comeback.

France have the ability to peak or fail at tournaments and they do have the players to do alright.

Also was semi-trolling the pommies by saying that.

 

If Robben isn't fit and fully firing by February then I'll be far more concerned, also 0-0 with the Swiss is typical Switzerland.

Very true but France's tournament form fluctuates so much, look at their '98 and Euro 2000 form compared with their '02 World Cup, then look at their '06 WC compared with Euro 08. It is a left-field prediction but I can see them doing very well.

Also, FTR, I'd love to see England finally win something again, but I also love seeing them fail and getting owned by your press.

 

FWIW I just did a phantom draw for Euro2012 through random numbers.
