Big game in Belgium as its 2nd v 3rd and just a point in it. Germany have won the group

[WMUG]

Who are Austria level on points with?

[Cripps_orig]

They arent with anyone

[cheesy bites]

Wouldn't it be a lot tidier to just make a "European Championship Qualifying thread"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If we have individual threads can we have the main teams in the groups included in to the thread title like before?

:good:

[Cripps_orig]

Done.

Although they dont seem to appear when we look at the section but do when we click on the thread :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They all need to be in the thread title I think.

[Cripps_orig]

Thats what i did.

For example, on this thread, i put Group A - Germany, Belgium, Turkey in the thread title

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's odd, my Champions League thread was all on one line and appears as the whole thing. I'll sort it out later.

[Cripps_orig]

Kazhaks won 2-1

Vermaelen on the bench v Turkey

[Cripps_orig]

Ozil, Gomez and Schurrie scoring

[Cripps_orig]

THOSE Germans are a cynical bunch.

Poor old Michael Ballack has been told his days in the national team are over.
But the country's football federation have promised him one final game to say farewell.
Only problem is, the friendly against Brazil in August will take his number of appearances for his country to ... 99!
Feeling a little stranded, Michael?

Simons

Vermaelen not playing

[Cripps_orig]

[Master Splinter]

Belgium :haha:.

[Cripps_orig]

Kazaks equalise

Turkey :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Germans kicking off against Austria shortly, live on ESPN in case anyone wants to watch Merts in action. Better than watching that cunt Rooney.

[Cripps_orig]

Id watch that if i had ESPN

[Cripps_orig]

Turkey win 2-1

Last minute winner there

Favourites for 2nd now

[Cripps_orig]

1-0 Germany

Klose

Mertesacker on the bench

[Niall_Quinn]

Id watch that if i had ESPN

The not having ESPN thing is probably the deal breaker in terms of watching. I can give you a minute by minute match summary loaded with Basil Fawlty style references to the war, if you like.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil 2-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Schweinsteiger wearing his Arsenal shirt?

[Cripps_orig]

I remember when we were linked with Ozil before the world cup after he had destroyed the England under 21s the summer before.

Prices mentioned were around £8m-£12m

Now its 3 times that i reckon

[Niall_Quinn]

Podolski 3-0

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Schweinsteiger wearing his Arsenal shirt?

Don't be silly - this is an International match.

[Niall_Quinn]

Austria could get beaten like a ginger haired Arsenal tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't be silly - this is an International match.

He could be wearing two shirts. Let's face it, against Austria it's going to be a carve-up (kinda). He won't sweat much.

[Cripps_orig]

3-0

Podolski

[Niall_Quinn]

He could be wearing two shirts. Let's face it, against Austria it's going to be a carve-up (kinda). He won't sweat much.

You're just making stuff up now - he's wearing a Germany shirt tonight and an Arsenal shirt vs Swansea. Let's keep things real shall we?

[Niall_Quinn]

Germany have gone home now, Austria still trying to score.

[Niall_Quinn]

The Love Machine says he's very happy Mertesacker is joinig a club like Arsenal. Not sure how he gets on with Merts so this could either be a compliment or an insult.

[Cripps_orig]

Germany have gone home now, Austria still trying to score.

Reminds me of when i play FIFA and i got 5 up in the first 10 mins, have enough, go downstairs for a piss or something and come back and lead by 8 despite no one controlling the players

FIFA games :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You're just making stuff up now - he's wearing a Germany shirt tonight and an Arsenal shirt vs Swansea. Let's keep things real shall we?

Real, reality? We just lost 8-2, realness can do one.

[Niall_Quinn]

We just lost 8-2

Eh? When was that then?

Podolski close to making it 4, commentators saying it is a very efficient performance. Austria is being "processed".

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dunno.

Do commentators/pundits ever describe Germany as anything other than being 'efficient'? Even when they were playing exciting football in the World Cup it's all Alan Hansen could offer.

[Master Splinter]

Hansen: Bot.

Indeed.

[Niall_Quinn]

3-1 Some Austrian with an impossible name scores (or maybe an OG)

[Niall_Quinn]

Arnautovic 3-1 42 mins

Germany gave up ages ago though and are coasting.

[Cripps_orig]

Arnautovic

The former Inter player i think

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hansen: Bot.

Indeed.

Pace, power, movement - it's just unbelievable.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some tall, blonde German built like a brick shithouse just kicked the shit out of an Austrian. History repeating.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great shot Podolski, great save. Good striker this guy.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 3-1 completely one sided slaughter despite the score line. Not one of Schweinstiger's best games, maybe a little unsettled by his big money move to Arsenal. Podolsky and Klose top performers.

[Cripps_orig]

Great shot Podolski, great save. Good striker this guy.

We should get him and brainwash him so he thinks hes playing for Germany

[Niall_Quinn]

We should get him and brainwash him so he thinks hes playing for Germany

Probably need to brainwash him before we try to get him, tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Could be done for tapping up tbh

[Niall_Quinn]

Could be done for tapping up tbh

We could speak in dodgy Spanish accents and say we come from Bartha-tha-tha-lona.

[server too busy!]

HT 3-1 completely one sided slaughter despite the score line. Not one of Schweinstiger's best games, maybe a little unsettled by his big money move to Arsenal. Podolsky and Klose top performers.

Reminds me of a PL match I recently watched, forgot it now.

Whys Merts on the bench, thought he was the main man for Germany! Surely he doesn't get dropped for joining us?

[Cripps_orig]

Sky live update thing have given the first goal to Ozil and not Klose.

[Niall_Quinn]

Boeteng on at start of 2nd half. Unpronounceable, unspellable defender goes off.

[Cripps_orig]

Howedes

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil walks it in 4-1

[Niall_Quinn]

Howedes

Fine thanks! How are you?

[Cripps_orig]

Ozil walks it in 4-1

Is that his hat trick then cos hes been given the first goal on the Sky Update and im not watching so i have no idea

[Niall_Quinn]

Is that his hat trick then cos hes been given the first goal on the Sky Update and im not watching so i have no idea

Commentators reckon no - first one was Klose. Mind you, the commentators are right cunts so nothing definite.

[Niall_Quinn]

4-2 great strike, Harnik.

[Niall_Quinn]

The Love Doctor is pissed. Austrian tactics working, Germany almost asleep.

[Cripps_orig]

Germany or Holland are my tips for Euro 2012

[Niall_Quinn]

Podolski close, good save, almost 5. End to end, no defence to speak off - probably because Metersacker is not playing.

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm so happy we bought Schweinsteiger, he's such a monster. But say we hadn't bought him, then I'd definitely be saying, hey why the fuck didn't we buy him FFS? I'd be saying, must get!

[Niall_Quinn]

Germany play like Paisley's Liverpool. Totally organised but creative, pacey, lethal in all the key areas. Genuinely enjoyable to watch this lot do their thing.

[Cripps_orig]

Aye, they are very efficient

[Niall_Quinn]

Aye, they are very efficient

Pace, power, movement - it's just unbelievable.

[Niall_Quinn]

Couple of misses from Boeteng, but great build up play.

[Cripps_orig]

Pace, power, movement - it's just unbelievable.

They'll never win anything with kids though

[Niall_Quinn]

They'll never win anything with kids though

They've set their stall out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil in half a pitch of space, almost walks it in again. Good save.

[Niall_Quinn]

67th minute, if Mertesacker doesn't come on now he won't have time to make it to the six yard box. Come on Love Monster, bring him on!

[Niall_Quinn]

Germany attacking as a single unit, 3 strikers pelting it into the box. Why don't we ever do this?

[Niall_Quinn]

Schweinsteiger like a diesel engine, runs for miles and miles and miles. Ozil like a racing car darting between the traffic. Mertesacker like a barge, currently docked on the sidelines.

Bring him on FFS!

[Niall_Quinn]

Germans too big, too powerful, too strong, too technical for Austria. As long as they don't do something stupid like invading Poland, they must be favourites to win the Euros.

[Niall_Quinn]

Beuatiful, Schurle, made by Ozil and Muller. 5-2

Germans first to quality for Euro 2012 - so say the commentators.

Klose off

[Cripps_orig]

Yup they are the first

[Niall_Quinn]

Mertesacker not in line-up tonight because of busy week including trip to London.

[Niall_Quinn]

Austria destroyed, Germans score 5, commentators discussing Germany's glass jaw.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gotze 6-2, he's just come on for Klose. Glass jaw strikes again.

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 6-2

If you want to be thoroughly entertained for 90 minutes then watch Germany play football. Quality all over the pitch, can't see there's anyone else as winners in 2012.

[Kaiser]

Tbf, Spain will probably cheat their way to victory as they just did vs Chile (sort of). A challenge worth nothing more than a yellow was turned into a red as they surrounded the ref. And Arbeloa dived for the winning pel. And then there were handbags where Arbeloa, Ramos and others (including Valdes who sprinted from the bench to get involved) were cunts. But Iniesta is art tbh.

Germany are bloody fantastic though. Hope they win.

[Cripps_orig]

Holland or Germany for me

Thats the final i want.

Hope Rijkaard spits on Voller again tbh

[Master Splinter]

I'd love it if Germany or Holland killed Spain at the Euros.

And beat them at the footy too.

But, as Kaiser says, they'll cheat their way to victory as usual. Just like United, Barcelona, Argentina. Cheats prosper. And football is the place to be if you want your endless cheating to be constantly and handsomley rewarded.

[GP]

If you can't beat them, kill them.

[Cripps_orig]

0-1 Kazhaks v Azerbaijan

Its the battle to avoid the wooden spoon

[Cripps_orig]
