It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Well I never what an excellent performance throughout, the only blot was that I thought that Hart might have saved Nasri's shot. A bit harsh on seeing it again as I don't think he saw it till late.

Looked at that Map skinny but a bit busy for me so I printed off this one http://www.oddschecker.com/football/internationals/euro-2012

Thanks Stan - as you say, a little less "busy".

Have to say that Roy Hodgson certainly knows how to set up a team for the job......I like an organised side and for that it looks like that is what we are going to get.....a win is vital now against Sweden.....impossible to predict France-Ukraine.....in all cases we need to beat the Swedes .....

I prefer a team to score goals rf, all well and good being organised but when opportunities arise to score at that level it should be a foregone conclusion. Downing had an open goal, I could have knocked it in with my cock, trust me I am not bragging :O)

Chris - you do realise that 2 yellow cards and its out at this point! :-)

skinny :O)

Greece 1 2 down already.

What an atmosphere at the Poland - Russia game, obviously Poland really wanted it for historic reasons, got stronger as the game progressed.

Missed everything today...too busy, but I gather that the game was special !....

lol yeah , bit like Swansea v Cardiff for all the wrong reasons.

Really looking foward to Germany v Holland tomorrow , reckon these could still meet again in the final.

Been a good tournament so far , no one outstanding team and though it pains me to say it ... England with a fair wind , right decisions and a bit of luck got a good a chance as any.

Looks like last nights game had a warm up period!

Euro 2012: Football fans in Warsaw clash

Watching Euro 2012 for me here in Spain is something of a diplomatic nightmare.

I obviously would like England to do well, but I still like to give Spain a cheer. I also
have to be aware that my neighbours are Dutch, two Irish families live just around the
corner, the barmaid at my local (a very important person) is Russian and the Chef
(even more important) is a Czech.

I am accumulating quite a collection of T-shirts and must remember to wear the right
one each time I go out to watch a match..... ;)

G.

G,

And then of course there is that damn hot weather you have to put up with as well.. Our hearts goes out to you -):

LOL.

Perverse logic that demonstrates why this country is now the way it is

If you were a pole living in England who would you support - poland, of course.

So why does an Englishman living abroad feel the need to accomodate every other nationality he meets ?

Grow a spine for goodness sake

Joe,

If that's a comment on G/S's post than can I suggest you read it again.. but with a smile on your face?

H.T and Ireland getting a football lesson, but it's still only 1-0, so can they redeem themselves in the second half?

I doubt it.

I agree -):

JS is a wind up idiot just ignore him.

G ... just fly a Welssh flag that won't offend anyone (Bullie , M and Gausie excepted) :-)

Spain looked good against a really crap Irish team , Germany not put a foot wrong and if the Dutch start aiming at the goal they could still be a major threat.

Less fancied teams that have impressed are Croatia and Russia but I still believe that England are in there were with more than a shout.

Good luck guys but if you think i gomnna cheer for you if you reach the final then dream on :-)
