I was suprised with our victory over Czechs. How that game started I expected us to loose but our team overcomed everything and defeat the opponents. This is the first time that we play under our amblem and our national anthem after more than 80 years. We have new team and coach as well. I think that Javier Clemente will do good job. He didn't loose with Spaniards for 4 years when he was their coach. Our younger players are transfered into the first team and this is a new beginning for us. It is a long way to go but I hope the best.
As far for the Croatian win I'm not suprised at all. Before the game started I said to my peeps that Italians will loose since I know that Croats always have the answers for them. Btw, this wasn't the best Italian team. More likely the 'B' squad.
Hiddink started with a win. Good luck to Russians!
Polland and Belgium agony continues. They are in group with us...
Brazil is stopped? The new Dunga's team didn't work good at the premiere.
Germany defeated Sweden again...
Didn't France sneaked?
Greeks are hammered once again by English. Last time I remember this was before the World Cup 1994 where Greeks didn't score (I think) and England didn't play...

i could see germany or england winning the euro. thatd be a great final actually

Ya it wasn't the complete Italian team but they still had some strong players like Lucarelli (The Liverno Powerhouse), but it wasn't the complete Croatian team either, we had new blood; Da Silva, Modric were there who are reserves. We called back some others, nonetheless, the stance against Italy still stays at 3 wins for us, and 2 draws.

I heard Bosnia did great, but France sneaked a dirty win and Serbia very impressive too. Maybe the Balkans do have something to look foward to this Euro.

Oh and for Brazil, because of them I didn't win 120$ :angry:

i will not comment this because i have not seen the game. but i can say i'm pissed. but if as you say it wasnt the complete team, well you know it aint the same thing. but i have no excuses. congrats to you. once again my comments are limited.. havent seen the game unfortunately.

Good England performance, but Greece were dire in the first half. Midfield looked much more balanced, with Hargreaves and Lampard in the middle. Downing put in a good performance too.

Da Silva and Modric are really the future of Croatian team...
I watched the Bosnia vs. France. It was interesting. France proved once again that you can play against them as much as you want but it's so hard to beat them.
As far of the Norway vs. Brazil game, you should know something before you put your money on South Americans. Brazil has NEVER defeated Norway. They played 4 matches (with this one) and Norway won twice. Good record for them.

Da Silva and Modric are pretty much our future star players, especially Modric. Niko Kranjcar would be also, if he stopped being a lazy bastard, but he had a good game, he was displaying some of his skills. Knezevic was also playing in defense and did a pretty good job and for some reason Slaven Bilic called back Milan Rapaic. Quite a shock to everyone, but it's all good to me cause I enjoy watching Miki play. Nonetheless, we did well without having none of our standard defense except from Simunic.

As for Brazil, I know they've never defeated Norway. lol. I was hoping for a change, but some things never change I guess. Like Italy not being able to beat us. :laugh:

As for Serbia, I enjoyed the last goal by Aleksandar Trisovic. Was interesting.

You enjoy your 15min of fame while i'll enjoy for next long good four years.

 

[Flipmo]

It's been more like a fame since 96. :laugh:

I thought you were from Georgia? Or are you glory supporting national teams aswell as club teams?

 

[Bachaveli]

I am from Georgia.But i've also been Italy supporter.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Blah at friendlies.

 

[Jibster]

I am from Georgia.But i've also been Italy supporter.

Any reason why? Or just cos they're good?

 

[troublesome2004]

Blah at friendlies.

Why?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Well they don't mean anything really...I think Sven ended my interest in Friendlies

Plus they they were played 3 days before the Premiership season...no point in that. Ashton gets injured and West Ham are without there big money striker until December. So they lost him for what? a friendly match..

 

[Bachaveli]

Any reason why? Or just cos they're good?

Just because they're that damn good.

I've been a italy fan since i was very little.Baggio was my very first idol.So was Maldini and Del Piero.
