Yay Greece!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy

Well done, indeed!

Put simply, that is a fabulous result.


Henry dejected, as the Greek players celebrate in the background.

Well done Greece!!!

They've done really good until now, contrary to our players.

Well done Greece. Toronto's Greek town (The Danforth) went nuts yesterday and was closed for many hours

Have to say this but Im glad Greece won.They did something we couldn't do and that was beat the French

Poor old Sweden. Like Wun, I wouldn't have minded seeing them go all the way. Penalties suck, and always leave the loser feeling cheated.

Still, a Holland/Czech Republic final would be good, if it gets close to matching their first meeting of the tournament.

Another crumb of comfort for we pissed off England fans.

Everton have confirmed Wayne Rooney will miss the start of the Premiership season after breaking a bone in his foot.

"Wayne has a cracked fifth metatarsal and should be treated with rest," said Everton physio Mick Rathbone.

So with just Owen up front, we were screwed, anyway. Unless a fairy godmother chanced by, and magically turned Heskey and Vassel into international strikers.

I have heard the Rooney/Man United rumour, Freddy, but the reds get linked to lots of players in the off-season, so who can say? But in all honesty, considering how broke Everton are, if one of the Prem's big three (yourselves, Chelsea, and Arsenal) came in for him, with a bag full of cash, I reckon Everton would find it hard not to part with him. I did hear a quote, however, supposedly from Rooney, that he was staying at Everton for another season, to repay the club.

Stamford, I'm really surprised Chelsea are being snubbed by players. They have Europe's manager of the moment, a growing squad of stars, and a cheque book that seemingly knows no limits. As I said in the previous paragraph, I think two horses have become three, as far as the League is concerned.

Just to let you Football Fans Know ,

We have a debate Football V Wresting

If your intersted visit the Debates Board , Sera has already joined up for Wrestling


We need a football fan Cmon

And Hypocrite of the year award goes to....Ruud 'oops I've fallen over again' Van Nistlerooy, for his post match comments following Holland losing to jammy hosts, Portugal.

"It's unbelievable how the referee ruled everything in favour of Portugal", said the man with a love for Old Trafford turf.

"He was a real home whistler, with every 50-50 situation going for them, but we cannot do anything about it."

Ruud later changed his mind, when he was shown a video of 100 of his best fake penalty claims. Okay, so I made this last bit up.

*Begs Freddy's forgiveness.*

That's funny Cufflink, because you've been sniping in our direction more often than the rest of the board put together Although, I must admit I'm not surprised you'd so suddenly lose your backbone the moment the arena becomes a closely watched, formal setting, where you might actually have to come up with an intelligent argument

I'll be waiting if you, or anyone else, changes their mind.

*grabs popcorn*

Sigh

Cuffline please I'm merely extending an invition to you to pick up the guantlet. The debate wasn't even my idea in the first place. I'd understand if you lack the courage to actually try and compete with me openly, but please...none of this taking the high road rubbish; I still have copies of private messages you sent to me brother turning the air blue at him

If you want to decline, then do so. And at the very least have the courage to do it with good grace. As I said, the debate is going to be a formal one; if structured arguements and intelligent points aren't your weapons of choice, then so be it.

Just one insult after another from you, isn't it?

Do you have nothing better in your life?

How can I spell this out to you, little girl. Grow up, stop insulting anyone who disagrees with your point of view, and move on.

If you want to hang around this thread about football(something you've made it clear you detest), and flame people, fine, that's your choice. But your behaviour has been reported.

Lets get this topic back on track please everyone.

As Wun has pointed out, Henrik Larrson has left an enormous void that Celtic somehow have to fill.

According to the BBC's footie website, that man may be Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who is considering an offer from a Scottish Premier League club after being released by Chelsea.

Celtic - and not rivals Rangers - appear to be the ones who can match the Dutch striker's wage demands as well as guarantee Champions League football.

Is he the man? Good striker though he is, could he match Larrson's efforts for Celtic?

somebody join the football vs wrestling thread and support football .

Sheesh .

WT*??
Did you see the game tonight??
What's wrong with Kolina??
The Greeks played a terrible game.... they did not deserve to win.
And now we will have a boring final of Portugal Vs. Greece... *sigh*...

I wanted the Czech to win so badly.... they played so good....

no offense , but did you just dodge a challenge ?

Sad ...



My post pointed to a debate about football , so it was on topic . I would just really like it if some people like you who were passionate about this game would join the debate ...

This post is about football to .

<Incoming note's about football>

I never watch football ! I find it boring .

L
O

Look people calm down , if no-one takes up the challenge i'll see if if i can do it on behalf of football , otherwise ill orginise somone else.

Wrestling fans and Football haters alike refrain from posting in here, Im sure their is one football fan willing to take the challenge.


Cuffy the purpose of the debate was to discuss the affect the sports have on our society, the benefits to the economy and general entertainment value.

Not actually saying which is better as a sport , as we all know football wins handsdown plus its down to preference of the person.




On a Football note , OMG how jammy are the Greek. I wonder if anyone put a fly £10 on them at the beggining

Remember though , What did i say at the Start Porutgal to win


I've got Money on them, they have to beat the Greasies , Dont they ?

If the Greeks Won , I'd eat my hat


The quality of this Euro tournament has been poor in my humble opinion

Is this was a world Cup I dont even think any euro team would be in the the knockouts.

Fair play to the Greeks the Play a German style game and its usually works for them

I reckon Scotland might even have scalped some of the Big wigs this year.


Cuffy , The Actions of the Wrestleing fans was childish , their just trying to wind you guys up to take the challenge.

BTW MaNgO_gIrL_hErE, I take it that you live in the Greek part of youre island, right?

I might come to visit your little counry this summer....
it's only 40 minutes away

Yes, I am from the Greek part of Cyprus and that's why i'm very proud that Greece has reached the final

I was sent an amusing pic this morning:

Very, very funny!!

Why has the press been giving Greece such a hard time?
Every game they win, we only seem to hear about how poorly the other side played.
I think they have played very well and made it to the finals, which is more than most can say.

Greek soccer fans go wild
Euro 2004 soccer win floods street

`We've never made it this far before'


WILLIAM LIN AND CHRISTOPHER HUTSUL
STAFF REPORTERS

It was so loud, even the traffic police wore earplugs.

Thousands of people swarmed Danforth Ave. yesterday after Greece defeated the Czech Republic 1-0 in the Euro 2004 soccer match. Some popped fireworks, others blared horns to celebrate Greece's first appearance in the Euro final.

When the match ended, an overwhelmed Chris Dinadis fell to his knees in disbelief, and stayed that way for 10 minutes as shock turned to joy.

"It took some time to sink in," he said. "We've never made it this far before."

Police estimated that 5,000 people were taking part in the festivities, and the Danforth was closed between Pape Ave. and Chester St., letting the fans celebrate in the streets without having to contend with traffic.

Greek Town was a sea of blue and white as fans waved hundreds of flags

LMFAO @ Lottie!
