zephonic Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 The European Championship started yesterday, host country Germany predictably crushed underdog Scotland 5-1. Today Spain beat Croatia 3-0, Switzerland beat Hungary 3-1, and Italy beat Albania 2-1. Tomorrow my beloved team Orange will play Poland. I'm not really up to speed anymore with how the team has been doing, a lot of new players I don't know. But it doesn't matter, it was 36 years ago in Germany that we won our first and only cup, I was only a kid then but I'll never forget the wave of euphoria that swept over the country. Let's do it again this year! HUP HOLLAND!

J.F.N. Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Our lousy team 🇸🇪 didn't make it (to nobody's surprise), so I will wait until the group plays are done before diving into it. Quote "You live every day.

YashN Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Not up to date with Football, but I do remember the past glory days of the Netherlands with Van Basten and Gulllit. I usually watch England, France, and Germany. Great start for Germany, playing home. Not sure if the English National team is in form these days, but my favourite League team in the League is Liverpool Quote Kurzweil K2500XS + KDFX, Roland: JX-3P, JX-8P, Korg: Polysix, DW-8000, Alesis Micron, DIY Analogue Modular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 England 1 Serbia 0 A tough match, England best in first half and Serbia best in the second. England never do things the easy way. Quote Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zephonic Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 Yeah, that was terrible, but weirdly karmic. First he totally dove to draw the yellow for Laimer, grabbing his face like it was badly hurt, and moments later it happens for real. Scary stuff. He's probably the best striker in the world right now, so if he has to sit out the next game(s) it will be a relief for team Orange! Still, the French team has so much depth and talent they should be able to compensate for his absence somehow. I have no illusions about our chances, but I hope our team will give them a hell of a fight!

Chummy Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I was rooting for Hungary but obviously there is no chance after this loss and now the match against Germany tomorrow is 99% a second loss.

zephonic Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Tough match for the Dutch, at one point I felt Lady Luck favored us and was hopeful for a win, but alas. Xavi Simons scored a beautiful goal, but alas. All in all, I guess we should be happy with a point against a team like France, but I can’t help but feel that maybe we could have pushed for victory today.

Their team spirit is strong, more so than us, I'd say. But I think today's match may give Oranje a mental lift.

zephonic Posted Tuesday at 06:30 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:30 PM pff, what a disaster… We went from zero own goals ever to two in one game. Austria deserved the win, they played their hearts out today and excellent team spirit and discipline.
