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...

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 :-)

Hoping for an England win tonight....did beat the Swedes a few months ago.....need to do it again.....

Which Swede do you want to beat!

Another Championship winning performance tonight by England.. who can possibly stop them -):

Great latter part of the match performance.......great team spirit.....shame that Gerrard just couldn't get that fourth goal....we would be ahead of the French with more goals scored......we now need another win and perhaps quite a few goals scored to win the group.....trouble is, will Sweden be motivated in the other game ?....will be difficult against Ukraine no doubt but England can win this game ...and a certain Rooney will be back !....I'll take the top one Skinny....

Walcott should start.

Spain or Italy.... if we get through...couldn't be more difficult....best to win the group if possible but that probably means winning by at least 2-0..perhaps..3-0....tall order....because France are bound to win...

Won't be easy at all RF, effectively playing "away" to the Ukraine tonight. Can the defense hold out? that's the question for me.

I think the defense was a little unlucky against Sweden...the first goal was ping-pong...hit everybody too quickly...and the second is one of those swingers that are incredibly difficult to stop.....do you follow the man or watch the ball type goals....we have to score that's for sure and the more the merrier....

Have you got money on them tonight RF? Rooney in Carroll out as expected.

England: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Young, Rooney, Welbeck. Subs: Green, Kelly, Walcott, Henderson, Carroll, Baines, Jones, Jagielka, Downing, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Defoe, Butland.

Ukraine: Pyatov, Gusev, Khacheridi, Selin, Rakitskiy, Yarmolenko, Tymoschuk, Konoplianka, Garmash, Devic, Milevskiy. Subs: Koval, Kucher, Shevchenko, Aliev, Voronin, Shevchuk, Rotan, Seleznyov, Mykhalyk, Nazarenko, Butko, Goryainov.

Yes.....I must be bonkers.... but England to win ....
