Held every four years, the UEFA European Football Championships will next take place in Austria and Switzerland in June, 2008. The battle for one of 14 qualifying spots heats up on Wednesday, November 21 when England hosts Croatia. In a match that may very well determine who finishes atop the Group E standings, England will be seeking revenge for a shocking 2-0 loss in Croatia last year. The top two nations in each of the seven qualifying groups qualify for Euro 2008, considered the second-most prestigious international soccer tournament in the world after the FIFA World Cup.

I never understand why they charge over $20 for a single match when later on in the week they will show it on FSC plus there are online options for like $7. Thank god ESPN got the rights to Euro 2008 otherwise these cable/atellite companies would have made us pay $179 for the whole package.
Yep it's true. Have to say they were very biased. The commentator kept refering to England throughout the match a little bit too much if the truth be told. He mentioned the fact that it was not so good for Russia once I think pHajdukSplit said:is it true on FSC when Israel scored the second goal the commentator went nuts? and he is probably American. That's the one negative about FSC, they are mostly Americans working on that channel and yet they act English
What? "Bre?" use that somewhere else but not here.Dome said:hajde bre
Yeah i saw some of the replay last night and Max Bratos went over the line even though he almost always goes nuts when someone scores. Then during the Fox Soccer report you could clearly tell they were so damn happy that England is still alive... i thought i was watching Sky Sports.HajdukSplit said:is it true on FSC when Israel scored the second goal the commentator went nuts? and he is probably American.

He tries too hard. :howler:JureM said:Max Bretos is annoying..and what's with that fake Spanish accent?
I don't believe that one bit. Many russian jews now live in Israel. Many influental jews in Russia itself. Look how far that took them in the game vs Israel. The Israelis didn't even have anything else than pride to play for. No friendship on the pitch there.fantasyvn said:Eduardo is playing for Arsenal. Bilic used to play at England and said himself that he likes England, has sympathy for McClaren. So I don't think Croatia wants to beat England, so that Russia can go through. History shows that Croatia, unlike Serbia, doesn't find it charming to help Russia in any way.
Your whole well written argument seems to fall on its face with this muck.fantasyvn said:History shows that Croatia, unlike Serbia, doesn't find it charming to help Russia in any way.

So then the question that arises is hmm., what if by some odd circumstance it was Germany that was in a vulnerable position and not Russia?

Did you watch that game, HS? Curious to hear how Simic played him and whether Zvezda preferred to use Zigic as an aerial target or whether they kept the ball low.HajdukSplit said:well as I mentioned in another thread, when AC Milan played Crvena Zvezda in the CL last season, Simic handled that monkey Zigic pretty easily, in fact the Serb forum expected him to manhandle Simic. Not sure the height difference between those two
