Off topic - football thread - European Cup 2012

My favorite football cup . How many here are following and watching telecasts?

For the love of football viewing ; this is not to be missed.





Mod note: two threads have been merged.

Absolutely. I am watching with great interest . The Russians have been very impressive in their game against Czech Republic.....and the Danes did a great job to upset on of the pre-tournament favorites - the Dutch! Being a fan of the Michael Laudrup and Peter Schmichael, I wish to see the Danish dynamite explode!

Yesterday I expected Republic Of Ireland to do better in spite of what the blissfully ******** presenter of Neo Prime TV Channel had to say. I have a feeling they are not done yet! Croatia team is looking good. I too was impressed by Russia and the goal by Roman Pavlachenko.

For information I am putting up the fixtures with India timings; I have taken the information from www.givemegoal.com

Today's matches worth seeing too! (Actually all matches)

Hi, what channels are the games played on?

You mean in India? It's being aired on Neo Prime in India.

Thanks

Ukraine giving shocker to Sweden (leading 2-1) after being 1-0 behind ..

I've enjoyed this tournament very much so far (apart from the Ireland result last night ), excellent first round of games. Generally I think the standard of football is higher at the Euros than the World Cup, where the quality of playis often diluted due to the 32 teams.

Anyway, players who have impressed me after the first round* - Dzagoyev of Russia, Modric of Croatia and Pirlo of Italy (a legend of the game). Really like the look of the Russian and Italian teams. Unfortunately, I reckon Ireland have looked the worst team so far, we were badly exposed last night by a not very special Croatian team. We'll do well to leave this tournament with a point.

*(Edit): Also the French right-back, Debuchy, looked excellent today against the English.

Shevchenko's goals has brought this Cup alive!

Heheh... I remember them taking apart the so-far-impressive Netherlands in the last Euro (Arshavin was especially impressive), --- before falling apart themselves against Spain!

Hope they are more consistent this time around!


Anybody knows if there will be parallel telecasts for the last round of (concurrent) matches?

.

In India the telecast channels are Neo Sports and Neo Prime.

They don't come any bigger than tonight's Holland V Germany and as if the fixture wasn't tense enough, Holland go into this match knowing they HAVE to win it...Germany could draw or even lose and still go through....

Oh what a match this is going to be Hup Hup Oranje!!

Holland is too good to go out in first round, cmon dont deprive us of chance to watch Robben ( rate him highly!) in knockouts.

And sometimes magical Sneider, I hope he is not injured and is available for the game. Van Persie's position should belong to Robben.

Now we are talking, what a game that was ( Por Vs Den)... now all ready for the MOTD.
