Yeah, it's not that I think we're any good or anything, but one of the real joys of 2008 was that it was free of leaden footed Anglo Saxons & Celts and one could slaver over the sublime tekkers on display. I don't expect anything else from us.

If the Poles and Greeks are any guide the standard won't live up this time around.

Premiership keepers not being too flash today.

GIMH · 08-06-2012, 01:09 PM

Doh. Wanted a Czech win here.

BoyBrumby · 08-06-2012, 01:10 PM

Czech defence lacks both pace and positional sense. It's a winning combination.

GIMH · 08-06-2012, 01:46 PM

Thoughts of the Arsenal contingent on Arshavin's performance?

GIMH · 08-06-2012, 01:54 PM

Now that's a cracking goal.

GIMH · 08-06-2012, 02:07 PM

Bloody hell. Awful miss.

GIMH · 08-06-2012, 02:22 PM

There's the game then. Cracking finish.

Talking to myself here. About time this forum recognise the one voice worth listening to.

This group's a non-contest, isn't it?

Cevno · 08-06-2012, 02:26 PM

Russia looking strong ....

Expected this to be a boring game, but been decent. Dzagoev WAG!

Scaly piscine · 08-06-2012, 02:27 PM

Cech not really covered himself in glory. He could have spread himself more for the 3rd perhaps. 4th one was a bit of a chocolate fingers really. He got a good hand to that.

Second place could be interesting

FaaipDeOiad · 08-06-2012, 02:42 PM

Got $25 on Russia to win the whole thing before the tournament, which is pretty nice for an outside bet I think. They'll shorten a bit based on this, totally different class to the rest of the group.

Great player when he's arsed, never been a doubt.

Often isn't tho.

Well that was a very good start to to the tournament.

First game was low on quality but good fun, I also won £25 on it which made it rather better.

Russia were good although Czech not bothering with a left back did rather help matters.

2nd spot is wide open though, could easily see them all finishing on 2 points.
