UEFA EURO U21 Championships

I have nothing to say to someone who pre-judges and makes the most ridiculous comments when he doesn't even watch the team play.

More seriously - one fluke hat trick aside, what has Walcott done in important games for club and country? He scored against Chelsea in the CC final a couple of years back, but you lost. He scored against Liverpool in the CL, but you lost.

Care to answer the question or are emoticons the limit of your ability?

I'm judging a player I knew a fair bit about before you'd even heard of him.


How ironic that your only recourse is stupid accusations.

Well that's one game he sorta helped you win, in the 94th minute when you'd already won, against a knackered defence.


Now see if you can find a game you actually won because of Walcott. Just one.

You've made your name on this board through false and ridiculous accusations...

One game Ray, just one.


Compared to the hype surrounding a player who can't pass, control, cross or shoot I'm happy with the veracity and plausibility of the claims I've made about Walcott.

Well he scored the first goal against Villarreal in the CL quarter final home leg.

I'm not a memory bank for his EPL goals so I'll have to skip on that one.

A game you won 3-0, comfortably.

There's a reason for that, he scored practically fuck all in the league. A quick glance on soccerbase reveals to me that Walcott has scored as many winning goals for Arsenal as he did for Southampton - 1.

If he was no good Wenger would not have him at Arsenal. Best to play Wallcott down and hope he can learn to play for his club and country more consistently.

What about today's final? How come no prematch banter? Both countries scared shitless, because they do not fancy their team's chances? Don't worry the opposition is similar quality & have no clue who'll score either, so everything to play for.

MOTM will be a Dutchy: ref Kuipers. He loves sending off spoiled kids.

England to win on penalties

Death to Germany

The world's oldest under-21 year old Jimmy Milner is going to destroy ye (possibly not from the penalty spot )

But of course, if we lose, it's all down to Joe Hart's suspension. What chance did we have without Shrewsbury's finest?

No draw please. I want somebody winning & a cleen sheet.

Well I seriously doubt we'll be able to keep a clean sheet against Germany's endless conveyer belt of talent

No problem as long as you don't score yourselves.

I think the game will end 0-0, Germany to win on penalties.

Dejagah is suspended, Marin probably can't play tonight according to Bild.

I've read we'll play with another central defender (Mats Hummels) in the midfield instead, because England are pretty strong at free kicks/corners.

And we'll probably field our only striker, the mighty Sandro Wagner. So better beware Englanders...

England have to go out the with fire in their tails, after being 3-0 up at half time against Sweden they must know sitting back on a lead is lethal.

Somehow I feel this match will be about set pieces.

(watch with IE)

Bit confusing with Johnson playing for both countries.

1900: Stuart Pearce might say history has got nothing to do with it, but I'm not sure who he's trying to convince. It's England v Germany, and Psycho knows better than anyone exactly what that means.

Lol

The match preview on ZDF is poor.

Hmm, tennis or football....

....or zapping like an idiot (and missing all the important moments) : the *manly* solution

Germany U21: Neuer, Beck, Howedes, Boateng, Boenisch, Hummels, Johnson, Castro, Khedira, Ozil, Wagner.
Subs: Fromlowitz, Aogo, Ebert, Marin, Schwaab, Grote, Adlung, Ben-Hatira, Schmelzer, Ede, Sippel.

Referee: Bjorn Kuipers (Holland).

Looks a weak line-up for England to be fair, wouldn't be surprised to see Germany win

A Dutch ref ?

Great through ball by Özil

Terrible defending by the Brits

Only just, he about lives in Germany. Probably does his shopping overthere.

Gardner to come off bench and score winner from 25 yards. You heard it here first

today özil plays in his position, and you see it on the field
