Official Euro 2008 thread.

Well they could have played Boumsong from the start and then there is Mexes who didnt make the squad.

oh yea and they had Thuram and Squilacci. Henry seems to have lost some of his pace which was one of his real strengths.

I heard that Frings has broken a rib and will miss the quarter final.

I saw that hot italian girl as well. She was stunning.

How the hell didnt Mexes make the squad, but Boumsong did? wtf

Henry said he will retire in the next 2 seasons, looks like he hasnt got much left.

Wrong star sign?

 

[hizzle?]

^^ Yeah most likely a scorpio too I guess. I know that's the reason Trezeguet didn't make the team.

 

[Flipmo]

If you guys didn't know, Dominech is an astrology nut. He wouldn't play certain players because of their astrological sign. For example, Pires, because he was a Scorpio, and Dominech said they were distrustful.

Trezeguet and Mexes also.

He's a fucking moron. How to you leave one of the best defenders in Serie A and the top scorer with 21 goals, and they weren't flimsy a-la-Totti penalty shot goals. A lot of Trezeguet's goals were animal. Raw striker instinctual goals.

Bah, fuck Dominech, 4 eyed dorkus molorkus mother fucker.

 

[hizzle?]

Well, I think Henry and Trezeguet should stay. I mean, with every generations change, you need to have a few veterans who stay and teach a few things to the kids.

France have young talents... Benzema, Ben Arfa, Nasri, Mexes, Toulalan(who was not bad at all replacing Vieira), Malouda, Abidal, Gallas, Clichy, Sanga, Diaby, Flamini, Jimmy Briand, Gomis, Ribery and Diarra.

They can have a good team...

 

[_carmi]

Henry Own Goal? Lmfao

Yup lol

 

[Duke]

Henry's boot deflected it, wouldn't call it a real own goal tbh...

Anyway, hizzle makes a good point here....France do have a lot of young(er) skilled players, where were they?

With all due respect to legends such as Viera and Thuram...these guys are brontosauruses, man. Thuram is 38, give me a fucking break.

And yes, Domenech is a fucking moron. lol @ leaving players out over star signs...

The French FA screwed themselves over by assigning such an idiot the job of coaching the national team. I cannot feel sorry for the French.

From what i hear he doesnt seem to be the best coach ever but dont forget he reached the final in 06 with his team.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^NO Zizou Zidane reached the final in 06 lol.

France were awful at the start of that tournament and then Zizou turned it on.

 

[Sebastian]

Does anyone think Zizou will become the next coach?

 

[Duke]

No, not yet. Too early I think.

And yes they reached the finals in 2006 but I doubt that was Domenech's hand. The players picked up a notch two years ago, not the coach.

It's ridiculous to look at the stars for your squad selection. Imagine the uproar in Netherlands when Cruijff suddenly starts talking about star signs. lol

 

[The.Menace]

No, not yet. Too early I think.

agreed

 

[Bobby Sands]

Id nearly bet a million euros that Didier Deschamps will be the next french manager.

 

[hizzle?]

Yeah it's Deschamps, but apparently Domenech has a contract until 2010...

 

[hizzle?]

From what i hear he doesnt seem to be the best coach ever but dont forget he reached the final in 06 with his team.

With the team he had, even I would have won hat tournement as the coach.

All I saw from Domenech at that tournement is complaining, clapping sarcastically to the ref's decisions, complaining, clapping sarcastically to the ref's decisions, complaining....

 

[hizzle?]

Blatter said that if Kobi Kuhn wasn't the coach of the Swiss team, the Swiss would have made it to the quarters.

I hate it when people who only saw a ball on their tv screen act smart about football­.

 

[Flipmo]

The only place the Swiss would be is back is making my fucking chocolate

 

[Duke]

^^ hahahaha.

Fuck Blatter, man. Really, the man has no clue. He better drop dead some time soon.

 

[Sebastian]

They banned Löw for one game.

What a moronic and false justification for this decision by the UEFA. Fuck'em all, seriously. They can burn in hell for being so fucking stupid. Not that it matters in the way that it will affect the result of the game but still, the level of stupidity is unbelievable.
