    The first match of Euro 2012 is on right now. Anyone else watching? It's times like this that I love working from home, although it sucks for my productivity. I can't wait until the some of the Group B matches. Holland, Germany, Denmark and Portugal, all in one group! Holy hell that is a tough one. You've got the 3rd, 4th, 9th and 10th best teams in the world, plus the 2nd best player (best and most polarizing in the tourny).


    Here's to England preforming like champs in yet another major tournament! :cheers:

    A bit nervous at how young the German side is this time around but they have looked killer in qualifying.

    I love that ESPN is showing all of the games, but god I cannot stand Alexi Lalas. I have no clue why they continue to have him on air. He contributes absolutely nothing.

    Whoa, Polish goalie just got sent off. If you're going to take him down you need to at least dive towards the ball and not just stick out a leg to trip the guy. Makes up for the soft sending off of the Greek player in the first.


    And the back up saves the pk!

    Good start to the tournament!

    Feel bad for SZCZ. Was in a difficult position and now he might've cost himself his starting gig.

    For those who get it, I think ESPN3 has all of the games. Feel bad for him (not going to attempt his name), but he did save the point. That guy was going to score. I missed the goal, so I'm not sure if he was at fault for it.
