EURO 2012 Official Thread

CR should be fired up after a rough loss to Russia and Greece is without some key players. I like a 1-0 victory for the Czechs. Russia with a 2-1 victory over Poland. I'll say Russia pulls out a pretty close 2-1 victory. I think that'll be an exciting game with a lot of chances for the Russians.

Game on ESPN today? ESPN seems to avoid covering the tournament for as long as possible and is perfectly content showing highlights of games they have already shown 3+ times in the last couple hours.

[JakeFlake]

yes ...both matches on ESPN.

[Guest Bwood]

2 goals in the first 6 minutes for the Czech Republic.

If soccer had such a thing as timeouts , the Greeks would need to take one now. They are just shell shocked.

Poland and Russia game might have huge a brawl. Poland hates Russians and Russians are very stuck up and will fight when drunk. It reported that there will be close to 10,000 russian fans at the game. This one could get nasty no matter the outcome. I expect a mess.

My girlfriend's sister and brother in law are at the game today. I'm hoping they don't have any issues with fights in the crowd.

Every single match has been on ESPN so far if I'm not mistaken.

I worded that a little awkwardly...I meant that leading up to the soccer matches they don't even mention them until about 15minutes before kick off. I'd rather listen to futbol commentary and watch highlights of Eurocup than some insignificant baseball game.

Sorry Tensor, ESPN already reporting big clashes between Russian and Polish supporters and game did not even started yet. They called in riot police few hours ago so this might help.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Hoping this Russia vs Poland game is the best of the tournament so far. Crowd is going to get crazy and both teams should have lots of scoring chances.

[Ja Rhule]

It will be very physical game. I won't be surprise to see few red cards.

[JakeFlake]

This is going to be one physical game. Probably more than one player will get sent off.

[DirtyMagic97]

Russians take a 1-0 lead on a nice ball.

[JakeFlake]

The Rusky's go ahead 1-0 on Poland on a nice header from Dzagoev, his third of the tourney.
