Didn't get chance to watch it, but Isaw the second half of the England match and I thought the ITV pundits overrated our performance - though TBF it could have been because I missed the first half.



I missed even more than that, although I've read and listened to enough respected commentators than have rated our performance as no more than competent. Alan Green described it as "garbage", but given his reactionary history he was probably exaggerating

Indeed, and where was I? In America for the ENTIRE tournament. Word of advice for any unmarrieds reading this - when you plan weddings and honeymoons do a little research before just stabbing a pin in a date on a calendar

Also the lack of these...

Apparently UEFA have said that Russia will be docked six points in qualifying for the next European Championship if their fans step out of line again after disturbances at their opening Euro 2012 game against the Czech Republic last Friday.

Seems odd as I understand that about 5 times as many Poles were arrested as were Russians.

Russia have been given a six-point deduction, which will be suspended, from their next Euro qualifying campaign following the improper behaviour of their fans at Friday's Czech Republic match. They have also been fined 120,000 Euros. Seems quite harsh but I suppose its good to see UEFA act. This dosen't include the Poland game violence so Russia might get punished again as well as Poland.

Big game tonight Germany v Nertherlands I dont think Germany are as good as everybody seems to think they are I really hope the Dutch stuff them.

Big game Bendtner with the equaliser and his 2nd of the game! His 20th goal in his 50th match for Denmark not to shabby for someone who has been fairly poor all his career in England. Ronaldo is having a mare though.

Good goal but shame about the result. Anything that involves upsetting Ronaldo is good IMO

He had a shocker of a game though missed a hat full of clear cut chances and got booked.

Just got in from work, don't mention highlights, as the wife doesn't like football, so it won't be on anyway

Cor, Helder Postiga got a goal, surprised, but maybe not, yet another throwaway from Spurs who has presumably played better for who ever he is playing for instead.

Ronaldo should have had two. Poor by his standard. Dry in poland. Watering the pitch before the holland game. so a gary linker and pundits say , no trophy for holland since 86 and no trophy for germany since 1996.
