I'm pretty sure Guus is Dutch And he has been their manager for 2 years. :mrgreen:

Well, I might have been better saying it just typifies Turkish football fans as they are renowned for incidents like that although that is still a bit of a generalisation. There was also several stabbings that night and two deaths and the Turkish courts were extremely lenient with the murderers who had a criminal history seeing as two innocent people with no previous convictions lost their lives. Anyway, lets drop this. I know that I started it, but I don't want to have an argument tbh.

Like how their opening match happened :lol: Italy is more of a threat than Russia will ever be Heh, I forgot about that match. However my point still stands, Russia just wern't the same team without Arshavin, the bloke is a class act and going by how both teams played in the quaters, Russia could well do a job on Spain.

Russia to tear Spain apart going by that.

-.- Why didn't I. Was 25/1 pre tournament I think. :evil:

Suppose I'll be supporting Holland now as my only other betting friend has money on them. Got them early doors at 12/1 aswell. =D>

Quoted instead of edited...sorry

Uh, that's eight years ago. Yup, and that [bleep] is already out of prison. and it just typifies the Turks tbh.

quite liked it

dogs don't actually matter at all tbh

Welcome to being an American. Oh, you guys have a lot of red hair. Horrible, horrible people. The red hair is a stereotype which isn't even true nowadays in Ireland, And it's quite obvious why a lot of the world nowadays dislikes America, it's a 4 letter word, can you guess what it is? :-w errrm, just to add to it;

...don't

it means you are an idiot and you solve the problem by stopping being an idiot

:cry: :evil: #-o

Basically because they are playing really nice football and most of their players along with van Basten are very likeable; and the fans are mental :mrgreen: I think that Holland - Russia could turn out to be a great game though. Both teams lethal on the break. I'm going to go for Russia to pull off a surprise though.

Link to said stress test?

Great bet. :thumbup: I took bit of a gamble with a live bet, but won pretty easy money considering the risk.. Bet EUR200 on "no red card" at 75 minutes played... Surprisingly, Unibet still gave it 1.35 odds with only 15 minutes left to go, had to take the bait. Tomorrow is Croatia vs Turkey. Can Turkey win even with 2 of their players banned from the next game (too many yellow cards)? I don't think so personally. It'll be draw or Croatia wins. Then you lost all that money on that bet of yours. Me or BL? Either way, both bets won. You are wrong. Hard luck.

YAS!! Had £2 on Schweinsteiger as first scorer at 20/1. Won £40. :D

Pretty chuffed with tonights result; I had bet my friend a pint that Russia would win. :D Are you sure about that? I know you can retire from International footballl and still play at club level (like Jamie Carragher) and the coach can ask you to reconsider, but I don't think they can force you. I know FIFA has the 21 day ruling to stop clubs pulling their players out of Internationals but I've never heard of this other rule. No, they can definately force them to play, it's just that most coaches are sensible enough to respect the players descision. I remember a Mourinho quote from then along the lines of; "Makalele is not a football player, he is a slave" etc :mrgreen:

More importantly, how the f*** is Philippe Mexes not in the squad. He was one of the best defenders in Europe this season and definately the best French one. Oh well, au revoir Domenech.

17 and 11 months. 1 month :twisted:

...yes it was. Domenech so clueless. Imagine, you are a goal down and down to ten men, who doesn't bring Boumsong on. :mrgreen: He is basically a French Steve McClaren. Equally bad workman, just with much better tools.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/euro_2008/italy/7460143.stm That is a list of all the outcomes of this group. Apparently Lilian Thuram and Willy Sagnol asked to be dropped as they are not mentally ready. Absolutely mental! Mon Romania! :thumbsup:

I'm hoping for a mass brawl with lots of sending offs and injuries in that match. :mrgreen:
