NHL Stanley Cup - Make Room for Euro Cup 2004

ReptiliansDOTca · 06-10-04, 06:47 PM

Now, with the hockey season over, Euro Cup 2004 is approaching quickly! I just thought I would spark up a conversation and see if anyone else here enjoys the sport, in addition to what team they are rooting for. It should be a really good tournament, and lets hope the referring doesn't mimic that of the last World Cup.

Forza Italia! LOL!

Yeah I like soccer, actually I play it and am a referee myself. Dont follow it much but I would deffinately like to watch more of the games this year, when does it start?

REPTILIANSDOTCA:

Ahhh come on Greece, no way dude its Portugal all the way, being I am 1/3 I will support them to the finish. Till they face Spain and France then my other thirds make this confusing.

Soccer.........nah its the real FOOTBALL, only North Americans call it soccer and yet American Football is hardly on the foot....lol.

Real soocer fans call it it as it is............FOOTBALL. :grab:

FORCA, PORTUGAL 2004

If I start saying football, people may ask why I am calling it football when I am talking about soccer and whatnot, and thus, soccer makes my life easier

.

Truly, I want Portugal to win, so that there is a chance that they play Italy. That would be a game to be remembered.

soccer sucks. GO DENMARK!

Times like this I wish I had cable. *sigh* :P

Portugal all the way, this is the golden boys year. ie. Figo, Rui Costa, Couto and so on. Hopefully Ronaldo will get a chance to play, he'll blow by any defence in the world!!!

CDN-CRESTIES:

Cool cool sounds like your a fan, good to hear.

Are you chop too?
Or just like Portugal?

I' m 1/3 as said b4. Hope Ronaldo and Rui hit them hard and we play stronger and faster than before without mistakes.

REPTILIANSDOTCA:

Yeap Portugal vs Italy is a big deal indeed, the clubs here are waiting on that battle to end all (yak yak) for once.

Cya...

GO PORTUGAL GO!!!!!

I hope Ronaldo gets a chance to play, he's incredible to watch . Strong defence and offence this year, hopefully a better outcome.

Now there is a man who knows what he is talking about, either of those two teams I would love to win, moreso Italy though.

Pfft. Figo is what, 82 years old now? LoL

I'd rather watch a full scale version of foosball myself, but what would turn the giant rods that make the players spin around?

Watching soccer is like watching an oversized game of ping pong where no one ever scores. I say leave it for the little boys who's mother's think hockey is "too rough". lol!

shmotz666 · 06-11-04, 10:40 AM

what the hell was that other post above about?!?! hahaha.

anyways back to reality. england wont win, i want them to, but we have a **** squad and a bad manager. if portugal win i will be very suprised, they usually dont play well. italy wont win. chances are france. simply because i follow mostly british football, and they are alot of french players turning heads over here. i can see them dominating it. but what the hell, thats why i like football, because hockeys too rough. hahaha.

My parents were born there. I've been waiting for this moment for two years. Portugal has the team to win but it will depend on getting some lucky breaks. Its hard to say who will win so it will be an interesting tournement.
