Boys did well, Italy getting a score draw against Spain stuffed us in the end - was counting on the Spanish to take all 3 points for us to have a chance of going through to next round.

That's the way it goes - but no complaints, was surprised at how good we played to be honest - outplayed the Irish, came back from 1.0 down and a poor first half against Italy to get a result and held Spain quite comfortably until we had to chase goals, leaving gaps in our defence for them to exploit.

Who knows, if Rakitic had a faaaarken clue on how to head a ball we may have even nicked it against Spain...

Yes, what a sad place it must have been at OUR sports park this morning...suppose it's better than watching the Euro's at a Greek soccer club...I mean how many can you fit in a caravan?

I like all the banter that goes with national championships but being an Italy supporter i know
all about frustration and jubilation that goes with supporting the azzurri and have had to take
the jibes as much as anyone else. While i to get angry ads well i do think its because some of the
banter is a bit to low and bordering on the unacceptable and disrespectful.
In Group C the croats were very unlucky indeed, in fact in both the games against italy and spain
they could of won it and progressed to who knows what heights. The supporters while disappointed im
sure would be proud to see their boys perform well without getting the desired result.
I watched the Greece v Russia game to and thought the greeks played with so much passion and really
deserved to win that game and go through.
Im really happy with the way these 2012 championships have gone so far and have seen many good games
with hopefully even better games coming up.
Guys keep up the banter in a fun way, respect each other and your heritage and lets all watch these games
knowing that the best football is in europe and we should be proud of who we are and respect our neighbours.

I apologise if this post sounds weak, and await some form of negative responses but seriously lets all enjoy the Euro's.
I cant wait for the final part of the tournament, it should be great. Cheers

Nicklas Bendtner fined €100,000.00 and suspended for 1 match for showing a sponsor on his underpants

[God is an Englishman]

Nicklas Bendtner fined €100,000.00 and suspended for 1 match for showing a sponsor on his underpants

fines for racism to FA's

£45,000 (Spain in 2004), £16,500 (Serbia in 2007) and £10,000 (Croatia in 2008).

All smaller than showing a brand name.

UEFA really are clever aren't they, tougher stance on this than racism, and given it more air time. I didn't even know it had happened or who the sponsor was until they fined him.

I expect the fine awaiting Croatia for this tournament will be higher than 100k.

Paddy Power obviously ain't sending enough money in UEFA's direction.

Your the peder urine so what part of Yugoslavia you from? The Croat supporters if you, general and pantlayer could of watched it in my shed, it's cozy for four especially for those with kittle willies like yourself

WTF???

seriously?????

So, back to the football, and not making it an 'excuse', as 0-0 still wouldnt have been enough, just want to see if I'm understanding the offside rule correctly

Iniesta was not offside when the ball was played to him, but Navas was atleast 2-3m offside, not even borderline ...... as he was 'passive', but received the ball then from Iniesta to score the goal, is he deemed as 'interfering with play'?, and hence should have been offside ?

Great post.
When some here bag the english & the way they play it's considered acceptable.
When it turns the other way, it's not.
Just enjoy your team ,the great players, the upsets, the tournament & remember this....Australia might be hard to watch the games if you don't have Setanta, but at least we aren't in Syria at the moment!

nothing passive about it, he was centre of field directly in front of goal when Iniesta was receiving the ball

i havent seen the replays, but im assuming that Iniesta cut it back to Navas to score, hence NO offside?

'passive' because he didnt receive the ball directly when it was played to Iniesta, but he received the ball then from Iniesta, hence interfering with play, and hence offside ... yeh ?

I'm talking about when Iniesta received it, Navas was in a 'very' offside position ....

in that case, its 2 different scenarios

if Iniesta wasnt offside, play continues as Navas didnt interfere with play

the fact that he receives it after from Iniesta, doesnt relate to the initial play, so play on!

[Željko Jurin]

Maybe not 2-3m, but definately atleast 1m ....

how can you be sure Navas didnt interfere with play considering his positioning on the field at the time?

why dont we just have 3 strikers standing in front of the goals the whole game, then once the line is broken by a player running toward the corner flag they can dink it back in to one of the 3 free strikers
