Spain doing their usual thing, there, and yet again the ITV commentator was patronising the plucky Irish fans.

Still, good game, and some great goals.

Ooft, my friend put two doubles one-one for Torres to score first and Spain to win 4-0, another for Spain to win 4-0 and Fabregas to score last. Both at 45-1!

I don't understand betting terms and that, but assume they've won a few bob?!

Irish fans phenomenal there, that was a solid seven or eight minutes of Fields of Athenry at the end and it sounded like it was still going on when itv cut to the break.

Impressive singing while their team got comprehensively thrashed. To quote a Tweet, it was Murder on Gdansk Floor.

I don't fully understand either but have started betting wee 50ps and pounds on the euros. She out a pound on each one, and each one returned £45 so she did alright!

brilliant. The Irish fans have really shown up some of the others. The Croatian fans chucking flares on the pitch while they're side were attacking was mental.

Patriotism (n.) - The belief that Glen Whelan can outperform Modric, Iniesta and Pirlo in the space of a week.

VDV - hit and miss. Sometime's he's world class others quite ordinary.
Bale - see above. Sometimes he looks like he can't be bothered.
Modric - yes, very reliable solid little player.

We'll be fucked without them but that's Spurs. Every time we've ever looked meaningful we do a U turn and go back to being a 7-10 team.

Mind you, Bale and Modric would be hard to hang onto even if you were Chelsea.

Of course, the best rebuttal to Nikachu would be to point out that Harry was managing Portsmouth when Tottenham bought Modric and Bale :roll:

45-1 means that for every £1 wagered, the bet pays £45 if successful. Odds are really a lot more simple than most people think.

It seemed to me that England play Sweden quite a lot. I'm not sure why I thoguht this, but it turns out they are the joint 8th most commo opponents. Scotland is first, then Wales, followed by Northern Ireland. Which isn't terribly interesting, but I thought I'd share. I'm good to you like that.

Great goal. England are not looking comfortable though, lots of unforced errors so far.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38517

Proper game, this!

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22305

Carroll is having a cracking game so far

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22305

Looks like a totally different side than last game

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38517

Shearer and Dixon look like Robson and Jerome

MaysLanding · **Joined:** 27th May, 2012 **Posts:** 251

Not bad so far. Could do with Defoe's pace up front though.

MaliA · **Posted:** Fri Jun 15, 2012 20:53

Press red button. Listen to Chris Moyles commentary. It's fifty times better than any other.

Hmm cheers for the tip ! didn't think of that !

Back to the football...

Milner and young for Walcott and. Rooney?

Just like last game...

Would England start with well beck, Rooney and Carroll, though?

Carroll was poor as well, tbf, he managed one header all game, and made a decent tackle, his distribution was appalling, which when you are playing the target man role, is kind of important.

sdg · **Posted:** Fri Jun 15, 2012 22:55

England to win 3-2 @ 33-1? Yas!

Also, he seemed to spend the first ten minutes running into things. Then kicked the ball into the referee's knackers. Which made me laugh.
