Group C - Germany, Ukraine, Poland, Northern Ireland

[GIMH]

Worked alright for England at Italia 90 didn't it?

We won our group

Argentina finished third in theirs and went to the final mind. Though they were bloody awful throughout

Most of the teams at that tournament were to be fair. Early 90s tournaments, with the exception of USA 94, were mostly terrible in terms of the football on offer.

Italia 90 was dull and plodding. Think it was largely responsible for the backpass rule being brought in? And then three points for a win came into international tournaments with the 94 WC, which was pretty good, and after that the next couple of Euros and WCs were great.

I know some were better than others but I've only ever known international tournaments to be various levels of incredible. Was only a few months old for Italia 90 though.

Poland competing really well here. Referee is doing a great job too, not letting the tactical fouls go without a booking, even when Khedira made one in the first couple of minutes.

 

[wpdavid]

Oh dear, that really as bad a miss as you'll see.

Saw the NI result and was happy because I knew Uppercut would be happy

I was happy in spite of that

Indeed, I can't remember if Euro 92 was the first tournament where the back pass rule was used or the last one with the old rule.

This has been rubbish. Commentator mispronouncing Özil has been annoying as **** as well.

Last with the old rule

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah first properly bad game of the Euros, draw suits both teams though so not really surprising.

 

[Furball]

Just seen a video of the fan reaction to the 2nd goal and the final whistle at the Titanic Quarter fanzone. Jealous as ****.

 

[Pothas]

Germany more sterile than Spain have ever been in that, I know a draw was fine for them but Poland could easily have won.

So happy for Stuart Dallas, would have even better if he was still with us.

What even is the point of Mario Götze's existence anymore. Useless ****.

Makes sense he's linked with the CDMs. Giroud, Götze and the CDMs. That would take the laughably incompetent but brilliant super-villainy up another notch I think. From Dick Dastardly to James Bond stuff, not one of the better ones though. Maybe that media mogul one off Die Another Day.

Abshadbfjbalkb (not sure on spelling) Milik really should have tucked home 2 goals, especially that thing that came off his nose. worst part is, he's one of my strikers in my work fantasy competition, and I'm the only one with him. 2 goals would have sent me to the lead!

In English?

In English?

Heh

 

[Scaly piscine]

Glad to hear Furball has managed to learn some English.

Germany creating a few chances here. Obviously not learnt anything from England.

 

[Furball]

Dammit.
