Euro 2024

[Hefeweizen 5311]

What a game!  Really great performance from both sides.

[C-Man 27214]

Spain. 

Spain has certainly seemed the class of the tournament to this point. This just seems like one that France has no business winning and wins it.

Dutch are using all 9 lives here

Dutch ran out of lives back in 2010!

If there was ever a year the Dutch had no business being in the final and winning it all it might be this year. A healthy Frenkie de Jong would be a difference maker right now and I fully expect a switch kick to the nuts like in the CL Semi between Ajax and Tottenham this next week!

Still better than 2004 when fucking Greece won it. A lot of my friends from Europe all said the same thing about how it was pure luck.

What part of town? Although it's hard to predict which places will have crowds with everyone dealing with Beryl aftermath.

Euro 2004 had two of the great games in Euro history (Czechs 3 - Netherlands 2; Portugal 2 - England 2) and one of the greatest collapses in Euro history France 2 - England 1.

staying near minute maid park.

[Ted Lange 16084]

Little Woodrows EADO or Pitch22.   Woodrows has way better TVs

[HornOnTheBayou 8921]

Little Woodrows would be good. And you can grab a burger from Rodeo Goat before the match.

The Phoenix on Westheimer is one of our go-tos for soccer, and usually draws a healthy crowd.

[Braff Zacklin 13558]

Not an untrue word.

Between Derek Rae's grating over-pronunciations in game, and Lalas' unceasing obnoxiousness in studio, Fox's coverage has been a beating.

Landon's color commentary is bland and sleep inducing. Stuart Holden talks too fucking much. But I would take both 20 times over if it meant goodbye to Rae and Lalas, both of whom are obviously legends in their own minds.

Tuesday, where ever, pitch 22 on Wednesday

[APMP 688]

Tuesday, where ever, pitch 22 on Wednesday

Brian Ching's Pitch 25? Have heard good things but haven't been yet, seemed like a huge place.

[Ted Lange 16084]

Yes Pitch 25.   It is ok, the TV situation is below average tho.   The new Little Woodrows EADO has an awesome setup, just depends if they are open.

no lalas on the pregame

[alincoln 2371]

No Griezmann starting.  I guess France will try to out athlete the right side of the Spanish D

[Hagbard Celine 10853]

navas starting will score before the hour

[PittsburghTiger 6178]

Amazing to see France struggle to score. 

Sacrebleu.

 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

 

Lalas must be doing something right to get articles written after him. Fuck the haters and Europeans


His power ranking of farts would great

Spain destroyed the French.  Now it's on to the finals.

Y'all know these international matchups better than I.  Who would Espana matchup better against, England or Nederland?  

[cmontexas 3270]

Lamal will be a global icon in the vein of Messi, Jordan and Ali

Either; it will be very hard for England or the Dutch if Spain play their game. 

[Hagbard Celine 10853]

i thought it was fairly even but a fair result

[DanTheHorn 4922]

Some very nice goals today by both teams. Spain playing well and I would say England is the easier opponent for Spain but they have been fortunate so far so don't underestimate having lady luck on your side.

Holland is the easier matchup for Spain. They don't have a fraction of the depth that England have nor the experience either. Despite the lack of offense, England has been very organized in the back and Pickford has been better than average. England has actually been looking more like an Italian or Greek 04 team despite all of the talent. Only real difference here is the Gakpo has been one of the 2-3 best players of the tournament.

If England win tomorrow I would still list England as a favorite over Spain, but its still England.
