Big long yaaaaaaaawn.
Despite the fact that no UK teams are in the competition, no interest whatsoever.
In fact, no interest in sport whatsoever.

:-\
I think Val expresses well the views of lots of people! The overblown nonsense about sport in the media makes it seem like everyone is interested.
Lots of us are very much not...
;)
-
Hope your team win rudd. ;D
Come on girls,you know you like the footie really. ;D
-
not surprising, Ruud, that people are a bit excited after that famous 3-0 win over Italy. Good luck for Friday!
-
Is there some football on then? How are we doing?
-
Ruud, love the big footie matches, me - perfect excuse to eat pizza, drink lager from cans & scream at the screen 8) Makes a change from my usual sedate life :P
Think what might turn the laydees off is the Offside Rule- one of the Great Mysteries of Life? - or, at least it was 'til Telboy explained it for us in Watershed - an explanation that struck the hearts of the female persuasion ;D ;D ;D
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop
assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which
you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them
with desire.
Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had
no money to pay for the shoes.
The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop
and sees your dilemma.
She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other
shopper and buy the shoes.
At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and,
*whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch
the purse and buy the shoes.
Always remembering that until the purse has *actually been thrown* it
would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.

Is there some football on then? How are we doing?
We're doing fantastically, RT. I don't want to get ahead of myself but I reckon we're going to win it this time!! (http://www.myemoticons.com/emoticon-critic/cute/images/cheer.gif)
-
I thought we had already won and gone home, as most of the English footballers seem to be in Italy for someones wedding....... ;D ;D ;D
-
that wouldn't be a Mr Rayne Wooney Deb P? The Telegraph mentioned it on Wednesday, with a useful Italian phrase -ragazzo del fascia della patata. "Potato" I guess, not a clue about the rest ;D
-
I always thought that 'on aggregate', meant that they played on a gravel pitch when it had been raining and the grass was wet!! I have since been corrected, but still dont get the rules around it! And guess what? I dont really want to know!! ;D
Nothing to do with Euro 2008...whatever that is...!
-
;D ;D ;D
Oh bless you!
At least you don't have to arrange your off duty around fixtures...sad but true! ;D
-
Deb, you could always change allegience and start supporting Derby County..less time to travel for the home matches, which means more lottie time!!!!!
Or maybe not...!
-
Derby County!
Do be brief ;) ;D
-
Well Sam at least I can't see us losing a game, Rudd I hope your not rubbing it in, but I have adopted Holland as my team for the next few weeks and after smashing the I ties lets hope you give the frogs a sound thrashing. ;D ;D ;D
-
cornykev,here in the papers stood that 90 % of all the british will adopt holland as there team this tournement,i just asked myself why?
-
Euro 2008 Who will you support?
Germany - are you mad?
France - ditto
Portugal - that cheat Ronaldo got Rooney sent off
Italy - whole team are cheats
Austria - Germans in disguise
Greece - for some unknown reason are Euro champions and must lose
Turkey - is not in Europe
Switzerland - should not be playing football (ditto USA and Australia)
Poles - they come over here and steal all our jobs,,,(also Wembley 1973)
Romania - they come over here and eat all our swans
Russia - they come over here and poison all our restaurants
Sweden - bogey team for England
Spain - if Spain win, Engalnd are officially the worst big football country in Europe
Croatia - they stopped us from going
so it's either Holland or the Czech Republic. For me it's the Czechs, as your lot seem to go under 2 names, which can't be fair
-
Must be a borig life than,valmarg
Nope, OH used to love to watch football, but when it became 'big business' and no longer sport, he lost interest, which is what euro 2008 is all about - money. Nothing whatsoever to do with 'sport'.
When I was young the Olympics were AMATEUR games. Today they, like football, are big business.
Sport is just boring, the team with the most money stands the best chance of winning.
Could we go back to amateur games ??? ???

Don't support anyone, me...only in it for the pizza and the beer, oh OK at a push support Mamma Mia's pizza :P
-
Euro 2008 Who will you support?
Austria - Germans in disguise
ROFL! ;D
-
Should be a cracking game tonight Ruud. Come on you Oranges.
-
Just finished watching the re-run of the Holland v Italy match on Eurosport. I have always enjoyed watching the Holland matches when on tv - they seem to be coming back on form again after losing their fire a bit in recent matches. Looking forward to tonights match - I have to get to the lottie to do some weeding but I'll be home in time for kickoff. Is it possible for a Holland v Portugal final?
twinkletoes
-
That is possible twinkletoes,and yes it will be a cracking game tonight.I have heard here on the news that there is a 50.000 orange army in bern,poor schwiss. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Right then - that is my prediction. The final will be played by Holland and Portugal and may the team that plays best on the day be the winner. And please, no penalty finishes......

-
Euro 2008 Who will you support?
Spain - if Spain win, Engalnd are officially the worst big football country in Europe
I drew Spain in our sweepstake - and as I thought England did officially have the worst football team in Europe it looks as though I may be on to a winner. ;D
Viva el footoballo (or words to that effect ;) )

Piece of cake,blown away,only bones left
-
Must be a borig life than,valmarg
Nope, am just not interested in what used to be sport turned into big business.
The olympics used to be for amateurs only. Nowadays you can make megabucks from it. Wrong, all wrong.
As I said, it is no longer 'sport' it is big business, aka boring.
valmarg
-
Well done Ruud - saw the highlights and your team were on top form. ;D
-
Great game! On current form next Tuesday' match should be a walkover.
-
Great win Ruud, our team really played well, poor ol froggies ;D So many English adopt the oranges because there are a few similararities like- they love their football without cheating, love a drink, sometimes get in a spot of bother when the two mix and everytime I've been to Holland it pisses down. ;D ;D ;D
-
watching the footie with "our" team not in it feels a bit like you've turned mysteriously gay in the night and then had to watch the Miss World Contest for 3 weeks. All very inetersting but not as exciting as it should be :D
-
;D ;D ;D...brilliant!
-
Euro 2008 Who will you support?
Austria - Germans in disguise
ROFL! ;D
I owe them an apology, they actually aren't, as the Austria assistant manager has just said -"the Germans can stick their World Ranking up their @rse".
I'm starting to have a bit of trouble keeping up with who My New Bestest Friends are now
-
They are not the best friends rhubarb.Austrians can drink there blood,i dont know why .The only thing i know that they are neighbours,and not friends.
-
there's nothing like sport to bring people together......to hate the Germans (only joking)
-
OK Ruud - what will the scores be tonight? Netherlands 3 - Romania 1. Whatever it is - sure to be a cracker. Reckon the French might win by one goal over the Italians.
twinkletoes
-
I dont know twinkletoes,marco is changing the team that is for sure but evenso it will be a cracker.Here in the newspapers there was a discusion about losing the game and get rid of italia and france for the rest of the tournement,we will see.
-
Oh I do hope your newspapers are wrong. Can't see how Holland could lose "convincingly" though - suppose put out a weak team ...........but there is pride at stake here surely! Three big wins in a row for them - confidence would be soaring. Good luck anyway.
twinkletoes
-
You were right twinkletoes,the substitudes were great 2-0 win.This is given the boys a great boost to know the other ones are from the same level.
-
;D ;D ;D The boys didn't let me down!! Sweden or Russia next - should be straightforward eh? Hope you haven't got a sore head this morning from all that celebrating last night Ruud. Still on for Holland v Portugal final then...... ;D
twinkletoes
-
I hope it will be russia,should have some extra two dutch coaches.Sore head,no that i didnot had but almost i think the last one was a bad one. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
...then you shouldn't have had the last one.....and work the next day too. OK I think Sweden just might beat the Russians tonight, though the Russians are tough players. Mmmmm - Swedes to go through 2-0. Then Netherlands can beat the Swedes next week.
twinkletoes

you learn something every day. Swiss TV has got into trouble over the subtitles they used for the German national anthem. They had "Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles" (verse 1), but West Germany missed this out after WW2, and East Germany stopped after re-unification. They now start with "unity and justice and liberty for the German fatherland" (verse 3). I never knew that. Must watch too many war films
We miss out the verse about hammering the Scots. Same thing I suppose
-
Yes another fine win Ruud, shame the I ties and the frogs couldn't both go out :( and the krauts spawned their way through with another poor performance. :( ;D ;D ;D
-
Anyone want to watch the match with me? I'm not saying which side I'm supporting cos they'd surely lose!! ::) ::)
-
3:0 SPAIN yyyyyeeeeeeeeeeaeaaaahahhhhhhhhh!!! whoo hoo! Off to the coast to watch the final! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I am watching Grawk but not long been in.Missed all the goals :)
-
Hey!! My side won!!! Yippeeeeee1 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
