Euro 2012 - Knockout Stages

[paultheroyal]

Is that Chris "clueless arm flapping" Kamara?

Not seen any SKY because I don't pay for it. Hansen is absolutely fine.

How can you call him clueless when you haven't seen any of Sky?

If you'd seen any of Goals on Sunday then you'd realise just how awful Hansen and the MOTD team are.

I've seen plenty of him on SSN

Kamara does very little on sky sports news. You making things up again?

Rephrase that in an edit - he does Soccer Saturday which is hosted on that channel.

You know the game is crap when a Mexican Wave is going around.

Yes, I'm sure I'm not making up having seen Chris Kamara on SSN. "Unbelievable Jeff" and all that.

[paultheroyal]

But you can't of seen it as you have to pay for that!

Great fail by the ITV commentator in accidentally calling Spain Barcelona .

[Simon's Church]

Another great fail by the ITV commentator in accidentally calling Spain entertaining.

He's a bit of a joke figure on Soccer Saturday I'll give you that, but he's excellent on Goals on Sunday

Shite game involving Spain yet again

Have a go France FFS

BBC's F1 coverage is better (IMO), and maybe their Golf coverage, and their coverage of Wimbledon is excellent.

They do some things well, but their football production team is pretty poor.

F1 coverage is better ? SKY have a dedicated channel and as a complete anti-F1'er even I can't resist the makeover they've given it.
As for golf coverage - you must be having a giraffe. SKY's golf coverage is exceptional and has raised the bar for everyone. And SKY generally have ex-pro's or coaches to present, not ex-footballers.

I meant in terms of the actually show itself. BBC's team of Jordan and Coulthard is excellent, whilst Humphrey >>>>>>>> whoever they have.

Golf you're probably right but I can't stand Butch Harmon. Plus BBC have Ken Clark who I have a bit of a man crush on. Also the quantity of advertising breaks during the golf on sky is irritating.

[Handsome Man]

If Spain had a centre forward they would be quite something.

[M-U-R-T-Y]

IMHO if Spain were playing the Germans then the Germans would have won that game.

[Super_horns]

At least tomorrow should be a competitive game.

Whilst Germany played well against Greece the 3 quater finals have been pretty one-sided.Still no

Still no 0-0s!

I'll take your word for it.

You won't though will you...

[sandman]

Also the arrogance of Ribery and Benzema, folding the collar of their shirts up like Cantona, prancing about as if they are hot shit, while in fact their performances are only shit.. it's infuriating, seemingly they think the world of themselves so they have to have the collar upright - but they play like dung, how on earth Benzema gets on the pitch for his club is beyond belief.

The 32 goals and 15 assists last season might have something to do with it.

[Ian Royal]

You won't though will you...

Just did.

That French performance was like a 21st century England team with a foreign manager. No drive or ambition. A pretentiously rigid formation that encourages smooth passing, even in the last 5 minutes when you're down 1-0 (and no signs of being capable of passing like Barcelona). God forbid you start using the long ball. Blanc sounds like a puppet for the Spanish.

If we are 1-0 down in the last 5 minutes against Italy I want to see Andy Carroll come on, John Terry go up front and I damn well want to see Joe Hart lumping, pumping, launching and hoofing it up there. If passing it hasn't worked for 85 minutes, I don't want us giving up and surrendering like the French, try something different.

Don't think this will be the case tonight though, I reckon the first goal scored will be a Pirlo penalty after about 135 minutes.

This is an interesting view on Gerrard vs Pirlo, especially for those who make a habit of slagging off Gerrard and his teammates for not being able to keep the ball...
