The Official UEFA Euro 2012 Thread

[Gilver]

I've always wondered why americans speak english like us.

It's always been a mystery to me, then again i'm not too good at history and all that lark.

 

[frush11]

Let's just put it like this, a lot of people may not like the English, but Football to certain extent needs English National team and clubs to be relevant.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Certainly not because of their team or even England.
If the US spoke spanish, everybody would want to speak it

Then surely that would of made u a nation of gardeners. But u dont, the European forefathers that built America knew better.

And to think the amount of Spanish people in the US who cant speak Spanish

What an idiotic reply.
You know that Spain is in Europe, right?

Croatian fans with racist chants and signs towards Mario during the Croatia/Italy game.

Nothing new.

Good goal n that Andy, but you're going to have to sit the next one out mate.

Welbz

for the life of me, I dont understand this Andy Carroll obsession in the English media. He is absolutely a shyt footballer. He does nothing good except head the ball.

Danny Welbz (Im using that for this tournament, deal with it) can do everything Carroll does but better and he offers so much more. People act like Danny Welbz is some jitterbug, lightweight, Demarcus Beasley type when he almost 6'2" and solid as a rock. Its disgusting. I wonder if its because Andy Carroll "looks" like an English #9 in their eyes.

Alan Green's hate for Roy is just sickening, just disgusting

he is a pathetic and small man.

You need to tell that to the DRs and PRs. Alot of Stockholm Syndrome goes on in your part of the world, especially after all the turrible things the Spanish did.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

CACS gon be CACS, basically.

If the English media don't hype him up, then they can't be "shocked" when he fails.

Do you even know what Stockholm Syndrome means? Since when do PR and DR folks embrace Spain as a country?
Last I checked, they also speak English in India and Zimbabwe but I sure wouldn't call those countries pro-english.

it always makes me laugh when I hear some folks complain about how racist America is compared to Europe. There has never been anything similar to the Civil Rights Movement in Europe and they sure have a higher tolerance for overt displays of racism like this. The US have its flaws but it's miles ahead of Europe when it comes to racial integration.
The concept of a black european is still alien to most folks in those countries. Even in Germany or France they're still considered like foreigners even if they're 2nd or 3rd generation.

Being forced to accept black people you don't want to accept.

Media is goin way OTT in the Carroll praise, he did what he was selected to do thats it. Had a couple of neat touches and passes but apart from that, was shyt. His foul for the 1st goal was Hes lucky the refs are allowin the game to be EPL-equse in the flow otherwise so of his fouls are just he would of booked in previous tournaments.

 

[Ohms Law]

Race always such a hot topic.

Cacs just cant let us live.

 

[superunknown23]

America

Europeans had no problem forcing people to accept them in Africa, Asia, Americas and Pacific...

 

[frush11]

These refs to my surprise have been letting a lot of things go.

I just dont get it at all. Welbeck is England's best hope at CF since Shearer and they want to prop up this carthorse in Carroll. Carroll disgusts me as a player and this subtle racism for Carroll in the media makes me .



as for this England making the world mad stuff. Its really your media and some of the c*nt players England has but this English team I actually like outside of Terry and Gerrard. If there were no Terry, I would probably be rooting for England to win it.
