snorky Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 My trip was sadly interrupted by a killer virus that wiped me out for the trip - fly to belgade, sleeper train to Podgirica, into Skhodra Albania, ferry from Bar to bari on the day of the game, vomiting, crying and a 1AM coach to Ancona to get the next mornings ryanscare flight back to Blighty.we lost the coach at a desterted service station near to lecce and then walked for 4 hours through to the train station to get the train that got us to Ancona with minutes to spare.Every single step was agonyI cant remember much of the game as I was lying down on the crumbling terracesI have to admit that my worst Italian experiences as detailed above were Champions league games v Inter & Juve - unpleasant, if only for the final result- hence my tainted viewpoint now last months game in Prag was another matter...

MrBen Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 According to paper they are showing the Swiss game tonight? Hope this is an error as surely the Turkish Czech game is more important!

lozzyloz Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Argentina won it in 1992 (beat Wales). I don't know if Maradona played although officially he was in the team.

atila the gooner Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Wouldn't you just know it, Germany win via a free kick, scored by my favourite German player Mr.Gonad, aka Bollock. They were so average last night it was painful. I really hope they don't progress any further because the quality and standard of their play is woeful.

Keef Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Come on Romania tonight!!!! I hope Holland just field a weak team and Romania get the result, would laugh if Italy and France both went out!Spain Portugal final maybe... They and Holland are looking the best.

atila the gooner Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have a nasty feeling both Spain and Holland will run true to form and collapse miserably in the coming stages allowing the mediocre Germans to go on and win the bloody thing!!! :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3388-euro-2008/page/5/#findComment-111002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I do to, but fingers crossed they don't.Holland should field a strong team, it's more important to maintain momentum and winning ways than to rest players There will only be 3 more games after all!!

jimbo1964 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I think Italy might win now. As someone said, Holland and Spain likely to implode. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3388-euro-2008/page/5/#findComment-111157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 nothing about the Dutch performance suggests they are about to implode. And France were lame oppsition so I don't think Italy have been tested yet Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3388-euro-2008/page/5/#findComment-111168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Max Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Euro 2008Posted by: Ted Max June 11, 11:05AMI think Italy and Holland will both come through from that group. France = England if they'd qualified. Meaning the prevailing assumption that by just scraping through a poor group, they'll be fine once they get to the real thing, because they have so many world class players.Ahem....
