AjanleKoko: ^^ Tbh I think you are being bit too harsh. Which of the other Major contenders have forward lines that is inspiring?....Is It Germany?? France Italy?? England?? Bloody Hell here I was thinking Llorente was a dead cert with regards to who was going to lead the line. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 11:43pm On May 27, 2012 |
chic2pimp: Oranje. Huntelaar and RVP look in sparkling form. That's why I am backing them as a strong outside bet, to upset the Germany-Spain applecart Llorente, I wouldn't start with. Largely untested at these levels. I'd still start Torres in a 4-2-3-1, but I can almost guarantee frustration. |

medjai: Spain NT's final Euro list: So Torres is in finally? Guess they just had to bow to pressure. Not sure what FT is doing on that team. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 11:52pm On May 27, 2012 |
BlueDiva: Haba, BD. In a tournament like this, you need experience. Plus, no Villa, who is by far the best striker Spain has produced since Raul, maybe even better. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by chic2pimp(m): 12:01am On May 28, 2012 |
AjanleKoko: After the dutch, the spanish are next best so I don't see any cause for alarm. Besides as I type Mathijsen is a doubt after suffering a hamstring strain and If he fails to make it their defence becomes weakened. True dat Llorente is untested. I guess it's a straight choice between in form but untested Llorente and out form but Tested Torres. AjanleKoko:Better IMHO!!!.... At the very least for La Furia Roja |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 12:11am On May 28, 2012 |
chic2pimp: As per strikers, I wouldn't be quick to agree with you there. RVP and Huntelaar are number 3 and 4 on the European scoring charts. Spain's highest this last season is Roberto Soldado at 34 - and he has been dropped. Obviously Del Bosque has gone for NT experience over current form. I hope for his sake it all works out. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by Nobody: 7:25am On May 28, 2012 |
AjanleKoko: He will most likely be brought from the bench when the game is won already. . .lol It seems silly dropping Soldado for Torres. I wish them good luck. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 8:15am On May 28, 2012 |
BlueDiva: Hmm. I think it should have been Soldado, Llorente, Torres, and any other striker that has shown good form. Del Bosque seems to have picked Pedro based on his very recent form. He's been poor for most of the season. Or maybe they shoulda even dropped one of the army of midfielders. |

See Italians again oh. Betting scandal again, on the eve of the Euros! |

Gareth Barry is ruled out of England's Euro 2012 squad with a lower abdomen injury. Phil Jagielka has been called up as his replacement. hummm |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 4:00pm On May 28, 2012 |
mukina2: Gareth Barry is ruled out of England's Euro 2012 squad with a lower abdomen injury. Phil Jagielka has been called up as his replacement. Makes almost no difference. Abi this will be their reason for getting bundled out as usual? England will surprise all of us this time around |

AjanleKoko: See Italians again oh. Betting scandal again, on the eve of the Euros!Dude is innocent......He'll clear his name. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by medjai(m): 4:48pm On May 28, 2012 |
AjanleKoko:Soldado finished the season in awful form - 4 goals in his last 24 games, whereas Negredo finished it white hot. 11 goals in his last 14 matches, and when Soldado is bad he's really bad. that makes perfect sense. Torres over Adrian (or midfielders like Beñat or Isco?) less so but perhaps for continuity it's good. |

I can't wait for the Marseilles to ring the air waves announcing the arrival of Les Blues.. i love the fact that no one is paying too much attention to the team now.. The media is focused on Spain, England( eternal floppers)Holland and Germany. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by Nobody: 9:01pm On May 28, 2012 |
AjanleKoko: Lol. . .exactly. I give them q/finals max. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by Basics007: 7:14am On May 29, 2012 |
Still pissed off Soldado wont be at Euro. It's the most inexplicable drop so far in all the squads announced. Even if Torres is going based on NT experience what about Negredo? Guy must be wondering what else he must do to get in the national team these days |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by mykali(m): 9:05am On May 29, 2012 |
^^Negredo is in |

There was no second chance for Yoann Gourcuff as France coach Laurent Blanc shut the door on the Olympique Lyon playmaker's Euro 2012 hopes when he named his final 23-man squad on Tuesday. i kinda like Gourcuff Final Squad: Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris (Olympique Lyon), Steve Mandanda (Olympique Marseille), Cedric Carrasso (Girondins Bordeaux). Defenders: Gael Clichy (Manchester City), Patrice Evra (Manchester United), Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal), Philippe Mexes (AC Milan), Adil Rami (Valencia), Mathieu Debuchy (Lille), Anthony Reveillere (Olympique Lyon). Midfielders: Yohan Cabaye (Newcastle United), Florent Malouda (Chelsea), Samir Nasri (Manchester City), Alou Diarra (Olympique Marseille), Yann M'vila (Stade Rennes), Marvin Martin (Sochaux), Blaise Matuidi (Paris Saint-Germain). Forwards: Hatem Ben Arfa (Newcastle United), Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich), Olivier Giroud (Montpellier), Jeremy Menez (Paris Saint-Germain), Mathieu Valbuena (Olympique Marseille). |

i am tipping chelsea to win again. in fact, chelsea will also win afcon 2013 as well as world cup 2014. up chelsea, the sky is blue. sorry everybody, i was reliably informed that uefa officially invited chelsea to play among countries and this is the first time this will happen so chelsea fans shld all be ready to support our winning team. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by dayokanu(m): 8:03pm On May 29, 2012 |
Germany will have the youngest squad at the EURO, with an average age of 24 years and 11 months. Poland are the second-youngest (25 years, 7months) followed by Denmark (27 years, 0 months) and England (27 years, 1 month) |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by mbulela: 3:50pm On May 30, 2012 |
AjanleKoko:That is a joke,right? |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 5:30pm On May 30, 2012 |
mbulela: Joke ke? Stats cannot lie, bro. Villa: 82 NT apearances, 51 NT goals, 0.62 goals/game. Raul: 102 NT appearances, 44 goals. 0.43 goals/game. So I was just being modest. David Villa is the best striker Spain has produced since Di Stefano (who is Argentine by birth). |

Terrible News For The Three Lions Champions League Winner Frank Lampsrd is a major doubt for Euro 2012. |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 9:13pm On May 30, 2012 |
chic2pimp: Terrible News For The Three Lions *sign* England, the footballing nation, kinda short on, ah, footballers Let 'em replace him with Carrick I guess. At least to keep things pumping |
Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by chic2pimp(m): 6:13pm On May 31, 2012 |
Tragedy has struck with Regards to the Three Lions Frank Lampard has been ruled out of the tournament. How they'll cop with the loss of a key player remains to be seen. They'll definitely miss Lampard's Big Game and Big Tournament experience. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18265377 |

Re: Euro 2012 All-Action Thread by AjanleKoko: 9:56am On Jun 01, 2012 |
^^ He's not yet ruled out. It's a muscle tear in the ankle, but he has 11 days to pick up his fitness. Blanc is optimistic. Worst case he might miss the England game. |
