Euro 2012 - what are you drinking?

The semis are what Platini had hoped for.

-Well, as far as I’m aware Platini stated cleary that he hoped for a Germany-Spain final. Why he wrote his home country out of the equation, I don’t know.

-That fucktard called our fans "bastards" for something that in the end it turned out they didn’t do, and never apologized.

-Calling my country Balkans can be at times stretch, culturally, historically and geographically, being a mongrel of sorts of everything that surrounds it, but even though I loathe it, I understand the need for generalization. Calling it the deepest, darkest Balkans is an insult however, even if it was completely innocently or ironically put.

-Oh well, penalties are generally given when someone in a goal scoring opportunity is obstructed illegally. Such was the case here. Sorry for not being able to score under physical duress. Yeah, we should’ve used our opportunities. But we didn’t get the opportunities to score that we’d earned.

-Stark’s refereeing was beyond a string of "honest mistakes". The guy refused to give pretty much any decision in our favor when we were anywhere near their area, holding completely uneven criteria for the entire match. Why? Was it his own, personal decision? Was it his incompetence bursting through randomly yet only hurting one team? Was it someone’s orders? I don’t give a fuck. This Euro would’ve left a bad taste in my mouth even if my country was playing tomorrow (are the games even tomorrow?). In any case, when a Spanish newspaper prints that yes, Stark helped them through, it’s good enough for me. And that’s another disappointment for my country that we didn’t have coming.

-That’s precisely why I don’t support any teams in the Serie A anymore. And it’s even worse in Croatia as the entire system serves to cater for the needs of a single club (check out who the champion was for the last 7 years), that has all the refs, most of the boards, and even their B team in the same league. Right before Euro I saw live one of the sleaziest butcherings-by-ref during the finals of a u18 tournament (in favor of that particular team). And then I go see the Euros hoping for something... well... less disgusting. And get this.



In any case, don’t worry, I’ll cut it out soon enough.

Anyway Marko, at least your team can pass a ball

So Spain or Portugal? I do fancy Portugal tonight.

The team v the individual?

We want the individual skill of CR to triumph as that is more glorious, heroic and poetic, but logically it should be team skills that win at a team game.

I’m drinking Cava so should be supporting Spain.

Stunningly bad referee. He has made a series of dubious decisions, is too fond of stopping play for minor infractions, and goes to his whistle too soon.
