For all those who carefully follow Euro 2012, or like me, You live very close to euro arenas and have been listening to it for last 10+ days + Show Spoiler [Exact time link] +
haha a bit of prep for tomorrows game. We are going to get beat but at least I will be hyped. This was an advert for the 2010 world cup.Sick advert even if it is a bit OTT
An england song football. The crosses of St George line at the start gets me.
England's squad is actually somewhat decent. I think their main problem is all that there's big media drama/scandal before the tournament even starts... and the team does not play as a cohesive team the way other european big guns do. They are capable of beating france, too many people writing them off!

EDIT: And also that team talk advert is fantastic
Yeah there's barely any media shit this year at all because most believe we won't do very well. Around major championship you usually see england flags everywhere but this year I haven't seen a single one. Yes we don't mesh well at all, too many similar players and a lack of flair/technique.

The only true England song*, as sung by Fat Les, the father of both Lily Allen and Theon Greyjoy.
*Well, Three Lions still gets a bit of an emotional reaction. but nothing compares to 60,000 singing this one. Embrace, take fucking note that a football song needs to be simple, easy and fun.

Couldn't agree more. Three Lions is a decent song but Vindaloo is a fucking anthem when our fans get going.
That Carlsberg advert gives me goosebumbs every time. So pumped up for tomorrows game! As Delia Smith would say....lets be 'avin you! Come on!!
Haha, nice memories. I also remember that in that same time period, maybe a little later, there was a song about football at a world/euro championship which was more rap/rock themed but with a relaxed vibe to it - the video featured football being played somewhere underground. Might have been partially German? I've tried to find it many a time, but with no luck. Rings a bell with anyone?
Question to my german fellows: Is the ZDF-Stream really THIS bad?! Not only (for me at least) the quality sucks hard and it's lagging hardcore! Totally opposite to the ARD-Stream.
If this has already been discussed here, sorry and just ignore me. I just haven't had the time yet to read through all 37 sites (not even first one >.<)
Thanks!
More risk than fun

Same for me here. I got no TV and the ARD stream was really good except for 2 lags/90 mins. ZDF-Stream just sucks, I switched to Zattoo, lesser quality and more than a minute behind the normal TV, but it's not laggy at all.

Lesser quality than ZDF stream? How is that even possible ^^ But not being laggy is totally worth watching another stream. Thanks for response! So I'm not the only one
Swedish defenders have to learn to cover the short post, germany although blessed with enormous talent played 90's revival football (cheers Berti), spain needs a striker (and don't come up with Torres PLZ) while the netherlands have enough of them but like torres hit everything BUT the goal and englands performance would put any mason in awe (Greetings to Chelsea *facepalm*). Honestly only the old crocks team of russia (which probably inspired Shevchenko) and italy's performance impressed me and it's hard for me to even speak of the latter Did i miss something? Ah yes, CR7 changed his hairstyle during halftime break. Disappointing first round, can only get better (hopefully) ...

Sweden might be on the way out as well. With the lost vs Ukraine, they got 2 games with England and France left, since these 2 draw in the first round they would fight their heart out for 3 points. I don't see Sweden compete with France, may be they can get 1 point of England, but this not good enough.

you mean France, not Spain. Sweden traditionally doesn't lose against England in tournaments, so they might still have a chance.

Out of all the games so far the one I enjoyed the most was Sweden vs. Ukraine. Who would have guessed?
I hope a lot of the games were just teams being overly defensive and careful not to screw up hardcore in the first game of the tournament. With that over, many teams will now play to win (instead of playing not to lose) so I'm optimistic that there will be much more exciting games.

I don't understand how Russia can work. It's like straight out of 60´s : one guy runs with the ball while the rest walk. Still I'm hoping they make it, just for the sheer absurdity of them winning teams that run their butts off.
