The only screwing the Croat team will be doing will be while crying with their boyfriends after we teach then how to play football.

Yeah, you showed us in Croatia how to play. GG Neville and Robinson!

Like admit it, you were just to cocky about this qualifications. Israel and Russia are also strong teams, England haven't done anything since 1994 /we haven't since 1998 also). Loose McClaren and you'll be good.

And yes, Croatia lost yesterday against Macedonia on their terrain (match should not be played, it was more mudball than football) but still, we have qualified and have most points in our stage group, so shhhhhhhhhh.

how could anyone be scared of England right now? It's just way to much fun chanting "Ohne England fahr'n wir zur EM" in the streets

I prefer playing croatia also. Maybe they will be a challenge
Portugal has been beating england since 2000 or so..

Lets be honest here, Crotia, Germany nor England are going to win the Euro's.

I dont think England were too roosterey at all, we knew we were in for a challenge, I think the problem with England is that there is immense pressure on the players. Everybody expects England to win things because of the quality of their players, but they buckle under pressure to the weaker teams, especially in the finals.

And Portugal beat us on penalties mostly, but i'm pretty sure we wouldve beaten Greece in the final, especially on our home ground.

The only thing you won was a world champonship in 1966.
In wich you got through semi-finals by cheating. (Only way to beat a team with the best player from all time)
But i guess you didnt learn that at school...kid.

How many gold stars are on the Portugese shirt?

No idea what that is

Rugby. I haven't watched it it, but it can't possibly be any less dull than American football.

Play for 10 seconds.
Take a break.

I guess golf is duller, if you could even consider that a sport.

you guys should watch hockey...fastest sport, except for like, bobsled

between the two i'd say american football is better to watch. players just look cooler.

Exactly, and to comment on a point someone made earlier about it being a better sport as it was more strategic. I guess you Americans LOVE the Chess World Championships eh, real men grrr.

I don't really watch football unless I have some huge interest in it, so I end up seeing 3/4 games a year, and occasionally watch one where there's nothing to see on TV. I never just watch football, though. As jits pointed out, there's not enough consistent action to actually merit putting all my attention on that game. I'm usually doing something on the computer at the same time. That aside, I do think it's my favorite sport. There is definitely strategy, and some of the plays that are pulled off are really pretty well thought-out. It wouldn't be anywhere as good, of course, without replays after each play so you can actually SEE what one team did to break through or what the other did to hold them back. Compared to basketball or soccer, where 'plays' and strategies just kind of fall into place/form on the fly, it interests me much more.

Had to put it that way so most of my fellow americans would understand.

The reason for my love of the sport is because unlike many people I have spent most of my life in other countries and haven't been "stateside" most of my life.
