The Official UEFA Euro 2012 Thread

Not with them Nasri types you aint

True, Nasri's feeling himself way too much while he hasn't proved much (both in club and national team) but the rest of the new ones (Kos, Debuchy, Cabaye, M'Vila, Clichy etc.) seem to have a good mentaliy. I don't know about Ben Arfa, because it thought he wanted to do too good and end doing shyt but I think he's a lot more mature that the Lyon/Marseille days.

He was hyped up before the tournament, comin off a 30 goal season and did everything but play as a striker. What he tries and wants to do, he cant do because he aint built like that. Reason why Jose told him to play as a striker none of this droppin off bollocks, hes a flat track bully. His goalscorin record at international level is shyt, only goals vs England and Brasil both in Friendlies and the Englandgame was against a makeshift team.

I kinda disagree. He had great game against big teams with Madrid (against Barca mostly, i don't know in CL because I d'ont really follow them) and Lyon days (Against United, Barca, Bayern, Fiorentina in CL for example). Ask any madridista, they praise him for his constant level and mentaliy.
I think people mostly expect him to be a proper 9 which he should be, but which he isn't. He's not a striker a la Higuain, he's more altruist and hasn't got the killer instinct that needs this type a player... He has improved with Mourinho but he simply still not good enough in this role
And even though it's also his fault that he hasn't showed up in this Euro by not being in the role assigned to him, France's level isn't as good as Madrid's, therefore he isn't. There's not many players in the world that can produce top notch performance with both shytty and good teams.

Doubt Blanc makes it for the WC qualifiers in Sept.

Blanc is good, but seems like an upstart so I will not suprise if he quits to coach a EPL team. I even think it could be better for France if he's replaced by Wenger.

Probably. world class managers often do better than the bog standard ones.

You got good players, but this post Zidane bunch aint livin up to hype, reason why Zidane had to come back in the 1st place back in 05. Too many individuals not enough team players

He is a good player, but like I said yesterday he wants to be a Henry/Zidane type but hes neither and looks clumsy on the ball alot of the time. Jose likes him but Jose would swap him with Ibra in a heartbeat and tbh in his club career thus far hes always played with the best/better players in the league so hes had it rather easy, theyve made his job simple tbh. Now hes got to play against just as strong if not stronger oppositions its rather hard for him now.

Higuain is another flat track bully.

Hes out of contract now, from what i was reading. This French team lacks leaders, dont see captain material in any of them tbf. That 98 team you had captains everywhere. And when you got someone like Nasri who thinks hes a leader but only acts liek a c*nt you know your in trouble

England ugly ass style ends tonight..hopefully

This euro tournament is the definition of "had a spark when you strated but now you just garbage"

Spain playing at 50%
Holland disappointing because those fags couldnt get along with each other
France was
England

German squad only one living up to expectations
Italy overachieving with some nice football.
